No one looks nonbinary.
Androgynous, maybe, but those are not synonyms.
Nonbinary folks slant masc, femme, androgynous, or are fluid. You do not know looking at someone. Asking for preferred pronouns is a kindness this nonbinary femme appreciates. Thank you!

The function of AI must not be to make the wealthiest people on Earth — Musk, Bezos, Ellison, Zuckerberg, Gates — even richer.
This revolutionary technology must benefit ALL of humanity, not just the privileged few who own it.

Fun fact: these are mostly the same people that NYT always interviews. Like, they'll straight up call the same people who told them last year that they love Trump and hey, turns out that they still do. Journalism!
Trump’s approval is under 40% so naturally the New York Times found a whole bunch of people that support or defend what he’s doing, including a Kamala 2024 voter who regrets his vote lmao

I disagree with this, and playing realpolitik games with these people is how you end up with President Marjorie Taylor Greene in 2028. I'm not kidding. Hillary Clinton's campaign helped promote Trump in 2016 thinking his candidacy would help her cause.
Politics is not fan culture—none of these people are your friends. There are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.
We can be grateful that MTG is against Trump without liking her or thinking of her as a long-term ally. The anti-Trump coalition must be huge.

Never mind that people CAN change. But it requires real work and real acknowledgement of the harm you've caused. It requires that you actively look at the causes you've supported and start doing the work to undo the harm.
MTG hasn't changed, she's just playing the game.

Every accusation is a confession
Both of the homes Trump claimed as principal residences in the ’90s were used as investment properties and rented out, according to an interview with his longtime real estate agent — exactly the sort of scenario he’s pointed to as evidence of fraud.

It’s really funny to see people get mad about historical accuracy in the Odyssey adaptation because there’s a cyclops in that story. There’s a witch who turns men into pig. gods are literally real and manifest physically. It’s okay if there’s a black guy.

This in so many ways. If you’re tired of AI in the modern gaming market, just start playing older games, dive into that backlog, look and see if there are any cool fan translations or rom hacks that just dropped, see if your fave game or series has a mod project

Okay motherfucker, how much of the PS1 library have you played? Have you ever played King's Field? I bet you've never even played Frame Gride on the dream cast. Your backlog has enough games for the rest of your life.

This has been the autocrat’s playbook for a decade or two: have friendly oligarchs buy up independent media and then they impose government-friendly editorial policies so the autocrat doesn’t have to get their hand directly dirty killing the free press.

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words.
But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.
