"Abolish ICE or nothing means you'll get nothing" is the unfortunate but immutable truth
right now there's blood in the water so we should take what we can now (ideally a few more scalps and less warrant-less abductions) so that it's easier to get what we want later

Because I really don't know how "Abolish ICE or nothing" gets you anywhere but that - there's this magical realm of thinking where the democrats have a lot more power in congress than they.. actually do? Rs control both branches and the WH?
once more calling for everyone everywhere to learn about gradient descent
not in the context of ML, merely:
"go in the direction where things look better" is an extremely powerful heuristic. It *can* be misleading, but we are not near the regime where we need to try making things slightly worse

AI tools are immensely powerful. The use of AI as a general purpose chat bot that is used like an encyclopaedia is the worst possible use of AI. AI is now, given good instructions from a knowledgeable user, capable of doing absolutely vast amounts of work extremely fast.
lots of people, especially on here, are fastened onto the idea that it's just AI bro marketing or whatever to consider it a fixture of the information landscape. it's easy to think that when everyone in your circles is an ethical AI refuser. but I'm afraid it really has been mass adopted.

“in theater” is a crazy way to describe minneapolis
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

I hate those coy gender-neutral bathroom signs that are like a question mark or an alien. I love gender-neutral bathrooms with no signs at all but are so nasty and scary-looking that gender need not be addressed. all you need to be is brave

every time i see a white guy in their fifties radicalized by the twitter algorithm into racism and extremism i think about how it's a total failure of the youtube algorithm to instead radicalize him into home brewing, elaborate A/V setups, or DIY solar

Deeply fucking tired actually of how every time there's a Republican in office things are five alarm fire bad and people are ripping their hair out in agony, and every time there's a Democrat in office things are actually really good, and our brain damaged voting public insists the choice is hard.

anthropologically observing the software peoples. there appear to be two distinct castes, the 'front-end' and 'back-end' tribes. there is much tension between them. a priest-caste, the 'PM' mediates disputes between. interestingly, I cannot exactly tell if they revere or despise the 'PM'

the real separation is between ai being a bubble (undeniable) and ai being useless/going away/unpopular/etc (completely false)
if your position is that the tech is worthless, will go away on its own, is inherently bad, etc etc, you are going to die on that hill. there are absolutely bad actors in the space and you are passing over the bad actors to stake a losing position about the code
