Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

A pro-affordability, anti-Trump-corruption message unites the party. Every candidate can run on that, and every candidate can have their own take to fit that to their constituents. There's really no need to find fights to pick when the party agrees on more than it disagrees
Came here to say this, but Jamelle Bouie has this covered. 👇
When the Democratic tent includes candidates like Spanberger and Mamdani, there is no crisis, or fight, for the party. IT’S A COALITION, NOT A POINT ESTIMATE.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

I am of two minds right now.
1) I have no belief nor do I have any faith in the two party system, and 2) GOD IT FEELS GOOD TO SEE THE REPUBLICANS GET DOG WALKED AT THE POLLS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY TONIGHT.

Starting tomorrow, every major news organization will be publishing thinkpieces saying that Zohran Mamdani's victory isn't signficant, and even more crucially, that it couldn't happen in a city like yours.
They're wrong. It is important. And every city could have this.

whew that last repost is really it for me when it comes to computer sentience - way too many people way too comfortable professing they want to own another agentic personality

Luckily, computers aren't sentient. And they never will be. But the fact that people THINK they own sentient creatures and aren't troubled by that idea is... deeply worrying

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

fascinating that "no, the computer is not alive" and "yes, it's questionable to gleefully say anti-computer phrases modeled after racial slurs" are two thoughts people are struggling to reconcile

Looking at art as Art - something that doesn’t have to swaddle you up in emotional comfort and confirm you - gives you the chance to think about what you hold as moral and why. If you want art to agree with you all the time, you erode your ability to question the world and yourself
I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

i just keep coming back to the chasm between the excitement i felt as a kid with the ways technology could help me connect with more people directly and the demoralizing way LLM use now is abstracting away from connection by putting a chatbot between people

every time we talk about parental permission in terms of book banning I'm like fuck man. kids have rights too. a 17-year-old should be able to check out books at the library without Mom and Dad stepping in. so should a 10-year-old or 7 or whatever. kids deserve SOME goddamn freedom and privacy
