"Why can't we have a calm discussion about AI?"
Because folks don't actually want to discuss AI, they want blind submission to the ideological structures that motivate the contemporary use cases and deployments of AI. They don't want to hear the concerns except to dismiss them out of hand.

Wild to me to live in a world where supposedly respected news sources publish think pieces on “Now if you really think about it. Reading words from a screen is like bringing someone to life. This scares and astonishes me, is there a fairy inside the GPU?”

Reading this while watching a report on how deeply embedded Nvidia, AMD, Intel are in the Trump administration’s plans to invade and subjugate Greenland.
Microsoft is expediting a genocide, video game execs are up and down the Epstein files, Rockstar is union busting.
Check your exits folks.

Hiring the guy who torched Tumblr as the Washington Post CEO is one of the more blatant examples of how failure is a feature of the role. Not only can C suite people fuck up on a massive scale with no consequences, there is strategic value in dropping a fuckup into a role like that

This is extremely work in progress and part of a HUGE undertaking, but I wanted to share some "proof of life" for getting Game Informer magazine's original screenshot captures from way back in 1993 recovered off of digital backup tapes. If they had any lost builds, we might be able to recover images

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

this unprecedented momentum behind a single issue sure might be a useful fulcrum to try and wrench this country back from over the brink
74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting it, according to YouGov polling from last month.
Weak calls for "reform" are coming from *elected* Democrats like Chuck, not the average Democratic voter.

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?
Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.
And they almost shot some kids in the process.

They just blindly shot through the fucking door.
