Troy Baker says here that the presence of AI will eventually lead to people growing tired of it and going out of their way to enjoy live theatre etc
I do not think that “we don’t need to demonize it” is a logical conclusion, even if that much is true
Not when chatbots are causing kids to die.

Wrote up my thoughts on all the nonsense replies I've been getting falsely claiming that @schumer.senate.gov can't do anything and I should stop telling him to do more.
There's a TON that he can do, as I outline in the piece. And he's doing basically none of it.

Chuck Schumer’s Ridiculous Strategy For Trump’s Illegal War: Hope Republicans Come To Their Senses
I've criticized Chuck Schumer plenty over the years, generally for being bad on tech policy, but also for not understanding the moment we’re living through. Yes, he’s the leader of a minority party…

I've criticized Chuck Schumer plenty over the years, generally for being bad on tech policy, but also for not understanding the moment we’re living through. Yes, he’s the leader of a minority party with zero power, but that doesn’t mean he’s powerless. Yet he acts as if he is. And if he can't figure that out, it's time for someone else to do it.

What’s happening on X with AI generated sexual images is problematic, not because it’s porn but because it’s non-consensual, harmful content being published by X.
And for those wondering, Section 230 DOES NOT protect it.

every local vote i can cast is going solely to candidates who vow to protect and increase transit funding at the expense of drivers
30% of Oregonians cannot or will not be a driver.
However, 100% of Oregonians will, at some point, be a pedestrian.
Drastic transit cuts--including half of a MAX line--should be a five-alarm fire, but it barely made a dent in the news cycle compared to a 6¢/gallon gas tax increase.

you ever notice how transit cuts in the biggest city in the state aren’t talked about as a political risk for the governor, despite being vastly worse for transit riders than an unnoticeable gas tax increase is for drivers?

Sorry if it seemed like I wasn’t paying attention there. There was an unprecedented and dangerous shift in geopolitics over the weekend.

Not sure if I'll stream, tonight. Still working out the kinks and weird bits. I also want to test my actual camera to see if I can get that set up via USB for tethering. ( I completely forgot I had a tether cord I got in like.. 2019 ). It'd provide better quality than my phone if it does end up

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.
A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.
