jesse jackson was constantly played as a punchline on 90s late-night TV to the point that i didn't understand his history of activism and serious left-leaning political platform until i was much older. i have to think, to some degree, that was on purpose.

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.
Overnight, this probable ICE flight landed in Benin and is now returning to Senegal, likely for a crew layover.

I used to use detectors before realizing they are also basically LLMs and hallucinate answers just like any other LLM
Just because I keep seeing those "I checked this piece and it's written by AI" - this is an old article of mine, before AI was available. So could we not?

This is happening because OpenAI - a company that does not have anything even approaching a viable business model and is setting money on fire - used borrowed money to advance buy all of the raw materials for RAM production so competitors couldn’t get it
this RAM crisis feels like it’s going to ruin consumer electronics over the next decade. Bloomberg reports that Sony is considering pushing the PS6 release to 2028 or even 2029 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This is “producing” in the same sense that opening a capsule from a Gatcha machine is “producing” a keychain, ie it’s consumption
right? is it bad that we're producing instead of consuming? maybe? i don't even know

this quoted post is uninformed nonsense. policy changes towards trans people have been profound at both the state and federal level.
the EEOC won’t even process charges of trans discrimination right now for fucks sake.

now, personally, I don’t care about making fun of streamers but I simply wouldn’t pretend to give a shit about trans people while minimizing their oppression and doing this in support of vote shaming for a transphobe like Newsom 2 years early
