I am very lyrics-first. And there are absolutely only two types of people. Lyrics-first and music-first. And they mate with each other and fight over the aux forever.
are you a music-first listener or a lyrics-first listener? I’m a music-first listener so I always judge a song based on whether I like how it sounds and most of the time idgaf about the lyrics

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Personhood is not a metaphysical question, it's a political question. AI personhood debates focus only on the former to obscure the latter.
Experiments conducted with the A.I. system Claude are producing fascinating results—and raising questions about the nature of selfhood. Gideon Lewis-Kraus reports from inside the company that designed it, Anthropic. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/rOfXjg

As a person who masks everywhere I haven’t been sick in a long time, and I find myself thinking: did we just get this sick every year and not really think much about it?
For the first time in 6 days I’ve been able to get out of bed and not feel winded. I’ll take it! Be careful out there!

House passes SAVE America Act, sending Trump-backed election bill to the Senate
The legislation would overhaul federal election laws in all 50 states by imposing new voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements. But it faces a daunting path in the Senate.

I don’t really pay attention to charges of doomerism. I don’t know what it means offline.
I do know that refusing a version of how the future will unfold forecloses on the power that actually shapes that future. That’s not disavowing that tech changes are happening but they are in now a given.

I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.
