OpenAI has been openly chasing regulatory capture for years; even back in 2023 Altman was going around talking about requiring licensing if you use too many FLOPS to calculate something - absolute fucking sicko shit
one thing that drives me crazy about this whole thing is that OpenAI would love nothing _more_ than “regulations”. Regulatory capture is a thing!

The leaders of the Democratic Party do not speak and operate as if the opposition is fascist so why would a voter who doesn’t spend every day hooked on all this think so?
Is a literal fascist takeover of the US not motivating enough for people to vote?

will i ever stop feeling dumb for recognizing the potential of eth but still not buying any in 2015 or does this feeling last forever?

I feel like "being a citizen is a transitory condition you enjoy at the pleasure of the state regardless of how it was acquired" you're basically 90% of the wya to being an explicitly fascist regime
Shamima Begum was the beginning of something in so many ways, one of which was 'the last government's inability to just do its job properly (in this case by passing legislation that would have allowed it to prosecute her here at home) and instead going 'no option but to undermine all our rights'.
There should be literally no circumstances, ever, where citizenship is can be revoked. If you literally sign up to fight for an opposing army in a war, then we should prosecute you for treason not revoke citizenship

i love how the system of authoritarian control also produces images that fabricate a reality where opposition is occurring. i love how this is a novel problem that we didn’t have less than a year ago but it is now at the center of every major online platform controlled by right wing billionaires.

i thought i was so smart for canceling a subscription to see if they'd send me an email with a discount to renew. turns out i already had a discount and i lost it by canceling. my ego will need some time to heal from this

israel's sui generis nature as a country, which does make it rather different from /all/ these cases, is that it claims the right to govern territory (in this case I mean the west bank and gaza) without claiming the inhabitants as its citizens. i dont actually know of any other cases of this
Except they didn't, really. All of the major Euro nations still have overseas possessions (or client states which were once possessions), Central and South American countries have nearly as contentious relationships with their indigenous population as the US, Australia, Canada, and NZ do, etc.

"And I never say no"
We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.
We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

i wonder if anyone is going to ask the other question: why are kids confiding in AI how they feel about *insert mental health topic* and not confiding in a real person? or are we just going to use this as another “AI bad” thing and move on?
