I want a politics that widens the circle to include everyone, not one that shrinks the circle by throwing *undesirables* under the bus. I think this is basic. I am interested in a politics that is rooted at the sources of people's suffering. I am interested in a politics that attends to basic needs.

It is going to be even more critical now that we come together and work to build non-carceral community crisis responses, to care for and meet the needs of all members of our community.

Very frustrating watching people who will still go out of their way to disavow the idea of taking funding from policing react in disbelief when they, once again, see police operating like an occupying army.

I suspect that fact that the vast majority of LLM users don’t seem to have received this (really very simple!) message is because the AI companies have a vested interest in us not understanding it. “ChatGPT is smart, it just makes mistakes sometimes” is much more marketable than the truth.
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Something I can't understand: when someone sees a guy in a police uniform doing violent, ridiculously stupid things and they say "No way that's law enforcement. That's a J6 rioter working as a bounty hunter"
Have you SEEN cops? This is how they always act. It's not new behavior.

FYI, you don't fight fascism by spending billions in local tax dollars on US police departments that are full of fascist police officers. Actual opposition to fascism requires a reckoning with the police state that both parties have actively built for the last 50 years.
