I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Hur kan dom inte förstå att konflikterna inte behöver tas till Sverige? De finns redan här mitt i vår vardag. Människor som finns härs vänner och familjer dör, vi exporterar vapen för att det ska hända. Det finns inget "långt borta" i den här frågan.

"common sense" is a myth that emotionally disconnected folks use to appeal to their sense of superiority & say "if you are different from us? you are wrong" without having to give *reasons* why (usually cuz they're NOT right)
actual sense integrates emotions & logic, but they wouldn't know that 🤦♂️

Reminder that Aaron Swartz was facing 35 years in prison and financial devastation for trying to programmatically download and open the contents of JSTOR, which led to him taking his own life.
But OpenAI is going to scrape all of academia and make billions by plagiarizing it.

HOMAYOUN will be out of prison in a few weeks! They did not acquit him, but the sentence was reduced & he is eligible for early release!
However, we must not forget: he should have never been imprisoned in the place! They stole 3 y of his life!
But today only counts that HOMAYOUN WILL BE FREE!!!

The amount of time I've spent being yelled at on social media for pointing out that there is simply no way for chatgpt to turn into a thinking being. It's not a start of that. It's an entirely different thing that can never turn into the other thing
I'm glad they finally put this in a study to debunk the BS "Ai safety" goofballs' fan fiction about how "AI is a threat to humanity"

The 45th president threatened the life of his vice president in a last-ditch desperate effort to stay in power.
The 46th president ended his campaign and endorsed his vice president for the good of the country.
The choice is clear. #VoteKamala

Can we just call it a predictive text program?
Pretending it's a sentient learning program is just real Emperor Has No Clothes, We've Always Been At War with Eurasia stuff. It gives me extreme cognitive dissonance.

If you're Black and you can't seem to raise any money:
It's not that you need "traction." Liz Holmes didn't have any traction.
It's not that your pitch needs to be better. SBF was playing games during his lackluster pitch.
It's not because you didn't go to Stanford.
It's that they don't like you
