that writhe through your mind,
and take root in your heart.
Let the flesh of mankind decompose
and the monsters carve themselves free.

This is the cowardice of fascism on full display.
These people want cruelty enacted on their behalf in order to provide them with a sense of comfortability, but bristle at the thought of being confronted with what that actually looks like.

Told y'all. There's no such thing as a "Leftist government", merely governments more or less amenable to certain Leftist policies. Here's to all of you who told me I was wrong to rain on your parade by predicting this:

This might seem cold but I completely agree with this take in a lot of cases.
I'm sorry you are grieving the loss of your child but killing lots of other trans people because you're angry you didn't stop being shitty to yours in time to save them is fucking sociopathic and sadly all too common.

This is why I don't want parents of trans kids who committed suicide in our movement.
Brianna was murdered for doing this and her mother is doing this. I'm supposed to trust the parents who, intentionally or not, helped drive their own kids to suicide in our spaces? Fuck that.

Social media appears to have been a lifeline for Brianna Ghey, something she used to connect with other trans people, something that would have been difficult to do when I was her age. But her mother is talking about how social media "killed her", that she "died twice." It's revolting.

I'm gonna say it: Esther Ghey is overjoyed her daughter died. She hated her for being an independent being, she hated her for transitioning, and now she gets to use her corpse as a dancefloor for the rest of her life.

"The value proposition was-" dude shut up, I guarantee you didn't get bluesky pitched to you as an investment, you were asked 'do you want to go on a site without the fucking nazis' and now you're offended at the kind of culture which is necessary to remain 'without the fucking nazis'.
The whole value proposition of Bluesky was that it wasn't going to be as crass, toxic, etc.
And yet ... anytime it's pointed out that the experience here is *legit not-so-good* the responses are some mix of "fine, leave Nazi" (with expletives) or X whataboutism ...

'you're not arguing with what I said (that I have a bigger audience on this other site), just trying to make it morally impossible to use that other site'
Untrue! What is being made is a pair of factual observations:
a) The other site is full of CP
b) You don't view that as a reason not to use it

the problem with the idea that large statistical models will lead to artificial general intelligence is that we know these models do not think, and there's no reason to assume that will change at any scale of implementation, no matter how complex it might be.

the funniest thing about 'does the left even like technology' is that I genuinely see technology as a set of tools we can appropriate and use for the cause of liberation, but because I don't fetishize the idea of some day having robot slaves, for some reason my view is presumed to be tech-negative.

oh yeah that sort of thing can get you if you aren't expecting it, basically my rule of thumb is to assume that most things the average person says are a sort of polite socially normative lie until proven otherwise.

I think that fundamentally this is just intellectual cowardice, because like, you just said you disagreed with it. Adding on 'but it would be arrogant of me to say I disagree' isn't actually being humble, it's avoiding having to voice and argue the position you just said you hold.
Marxist activists went to jail for labor organizing but it’s fine. Healthcare has famously been not affordable for most people but that’s not relevant to Americans

The irony of the 'anti-AI rhetoric is elitism' line of argument is that you fundamentally cannot separate the widespread adoption of generative statistical modeling from widespread cultural anti-intellectual and anti-creative resent, elitism, and profiteering.

Technology does not exist in a vacuum. The tech pest nonsense masquerading as 'innovation', which is nothing more than the systematic repackaging of stolen creative work represents nothing but stagnation and waste driven by bull investment markets.

something I've told people a lot is that it would genuinely not take much to flip Texas, but no Democrat has ever actually run a campaign that *tried to win Texas*
This may end up being a massive own goal for the Trump administration.
