@bennjordan.bsky.social we really need a video on this 2024 startup spyware tech being jammed into the courts. Like me personally & also the laypeople who might not understand why this is so scary.

Jokes aside, the #2 is insightful in a way Justin doesn’t intend.

The absolute goobers who put “analyze the likelihood that my theory about quantum mechanics is correct” into chatGPT and claim to be doing “vibe physics” when the chatbot says “that’s a great theory” 100% think they’re in that group.
There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI.
1. I’ve barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. AI sucks.
2. I’ve invested in learning how to use this tool. Holy cow, it’s transformational.

Position #1 has lower barriers to entry.

@tyleraking.com this is bad in ways I can’t fully articulate, in case you hadn’t heard about it. I have serious concerns about a new Palantir ai software company being set up inside the state courts.
Michigan courts just signed a contract to use Learned Hand AI. Florida is considering following suit. Learned Hand is owned/developed by Shlomo Klapper, a Peter Thiel/Palantir protege. The same Palantir that selected the DOGE kids to force Elon Musk’s ai on the federal government.

the most uncanny aspect of the 21st century is how many stories we have about charlatan showmen who conned the world—from PT Barnum to Andrew Wakefield—and yet we still take grandiose, provably false claims from tech CEOs as though they are harmless or, at worst, true

@hankgreen.bsky.social autistic mothers are more likely to have Ehlers-Danlos/hypermobility. Pregnant women w/ EDS/HMS are more likely to suffer pain from increased progesterone loosening the joints. Pregnant women w/ more pain will take more Tylenol than avg.

Boom. Done.

I had to give a big speech to our school's freshmen class on Wednesday and my big takeaways were a) Fuck Gen AI, b) this is an opportunity to find something you love that will enrich your life, so don't just outsource the process to the planet-killing autocorrect app.

“Once you use ChatGPT, you don’t want to think for yourself anymore”

that, in a nutshell, is why I avoid these things because no matter how convinced you are that it isn’t happening to you, it is happening to you

these machines will suck your creativity dry and you’ll thank them for it
imagine relying on AI to write your bio and then having the nerve to say you're witty and full of personality

Memphis is 63% Black, but not one Black person was with Trump today when he signed his presidential memorandum to send the National Guard to the largest Black city in America.

The Black mayor of Memphis, the Black mayor of Shelby County, and the Black police chief, were not involved.

AND HARRIET TUBMAN. John Brown was not acting alone on a whim. He was acting on the orders of Black abolitionists who had been planning the raid for YEARS. They drafted a whole new constitution, had a whole new government ready to go.

But that’s the part of the story that threatens the status quo
trying to talk about Harpers Ferry without talking about slavery is jokes

like, slavery is the only reason why you know about Harpers Ferry. wouldn't be no Harpers Ferry National History Park _without_ that part of the nation's history, you revisionist shits
“The latest orders include removing information at Harpers Ferry National Historic Park in West Virginia, two people familiar with the matter said, where the abolitionist John Brown led a raid seeking to arm slaves for a revolt.”
