To start things off, I've built 7 policies - harassment, hate, violence, self-harm, sexual content, drugs, and toxicity. All created using Zentropi itself, with a touch of editing on my end. Examples of what's possible, starting points to adapt. 🧵 3/5

We're hoping to change this by encouraging more public sharing of people's work. So, today, we're launching policy discovery and sharing on Zentropi. Browse featured policies, find more from authors you like, fork what fits, and adapt for your context. 🧵 2/5

this is super duper cool, and they made it public! writing policies are hard enough, writing them for AI systems is honestly much easier with zentropi. i've tried it.
Content policies are usually private, one-off efforts. You build yours, I build mine, we don't share much about what works or why. This makes sense given products can (and should) set different policies based on their communities, but it leaves us reinventing the wheel. 🧵 1/5

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

I told Schumer and Gillibrand that a "promise" of a vote on ACA funding from Rs is worth NOTHING. You cannot trust them on ANYTHING. No deal without funding the ACA.
If they cut this deal and ACA funding is cut, they will be responsible for the deaths of people who can no longer afford insurance.

Agree. Mamdani is a powerful example of this. He did not make his support for Palestine central to his campaign, but his insistence on sticking to his core beliefs when asked to repudiate them, but also reassuring those who were fearful, actually helped demonstrate his sincerity and values.
i’d also say that the GOP’s obsession with this gives candidates an opportunity to articulate and stand up for their values. “i refuse to make anyone feel like they don’t belong in my [state/city/community]. and i want everyone to live the best life they can achieve [insert policy slogan]”
I am taking particular pleasure in the complete collapse of trans-as-unbeatable-wedge-issue narrative this morning. It might be an 80-20 issue in voters minds, but it has to be on voters minds to matter. The results in VA demonstrate that it is very much not on voters minds.
