Squicky people on the internet are at it again about the alleged old days of teen and tween brides, so this is my cue to bring out the graph showing that the median age for first marriage in the US has never been below 20 for the woman from 1890 to the present.

I'd noticed before that he always needlessly prefaces any mentions of babies and girls with beautiful.
like with the two doll thing I distinctly remember he said: "a beautiful baby girl that's 11 years old" doesnt need 20 or 30 dolls. So...specific.

Millions of memecoins flooded the market last year. In search of riches, coin creators began to take ever more outlandish, dangerous, and degrading measures to attract attention.
Here, I spoke to a dad whose child made $50,000 in minutes dumping coins he created:

Trump’s tariffs on Brazil aren’t about trade, writes Tech Policy Press fellow Laís Martins. His real target? Brazil’s effort to hold its former president to account and its tough stance on American tech firms in defense of its own sovereignty, she writes.

My new piece on accelerationism as the core strategy of technofascism.
Technoaccelerationism is the rapid progress of technology in order to drive social regression. They see AI as the key to breaking societal commitments to equity and human freedom.
Technoaccelerationism is the rapid progress of technology in order to drive social regression. They see AI as the key to breaking societal commitments to equity and human freedom.
Data & Society’s Jacob Metcalf writes that whenever you hear someone advocating for acceleration, you should ask: accelerating toward what? Today’s techno-accelerationists aim to undo generations of slow, arduous progress toward social, political, and economic equality, he says.

Even if these things were 100% accurate, not built on stolen IP, and not an environmental disaster, not know their rules they follow, the biases built into them, we would be right to avoid the damned things.
Myth-making is a crucial aspect of the AI industry, and ‘black boxes’ are woven into the stories its leaders tell, writes Tech Policy Press fellow Eryk Salvaggio. The problem is that those of us outside of the AI industry don’t know what rules they are following. That’s a policy decision, he writes.
