My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

The same people who cannot control a city of 400,000 are manifestly incapable of cancelling a midterm or ending the peaceful transition of power. Keep reminding yourself that you are a lot stronger than they are.

an administration staffed to the top with degenerate liars
Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

I have a lot of humility when it comes to trying to understand political issues. I see all of the things for ex happening re: AI & I simply DO NOT have the capacity or bandwidth to do any deep dives. I have to rely on others who share my values to give me the cliff notes. Multiply this by 100 issues

Last time I had jury duty it was for a Tesla lawsuit. One of the things that came up repeatedly in selection was if you call something Autopilot, folks are gonna think it's autopilot.
Anyone that mentioned that idea were excused.
It's wild they just renamed it to Full Self-Driving.

It remains to be seen what Netflix's plans are for Warner Bros but my money is Netflix just in it for the IP and has no intention on releasing movies theatrically, something they've never been prevented from.
