a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

“AI views both suffering and care as computational problems.” 😮‍💨

just want to remind everyone again that zohran is the one cis candidate i am aware of that had his platform on trans rights written by trans people. i think that matters

“It seems more likely to me that this is a calculated move to prevent any student expression that might not align with the university’s goals, whether those are educational, political, fundraising, etc." zurl.co/zxx3p
