imo, if someone believes some races or ethnicities are genetically inferior to others, that person has revealed a weakness of mind and character that casts extreme if not irrefutable doubt on their other ideas. why would i expect them to use more rigor on, eg, housing than they do on human nature?

My response to Ring's decision to roll back reforms and go back to surveillance on behalf of police as a business model.
This is part of a trend of companies bending over backwards to get in on the techno-authoritarian money/power grab that comes with being a lapdog of the carceral state.

Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance
Ring founder Jamie Siminoff is back at the helm of the surveillance doorbell company, and with him is the surveillance-first-privacy-last approach that made Ring one of the most maligned tech devices....

I feel like no matter how much I draw and try to get better, AI will always be better than me and it's really upsetting and discouraging. It keeps getting better while I remain stagnant...

I fucking hate people that name their business as a word or phrase from a language that isn't their own. I'm so fucking tired of white people using indigenous languages (mostly Hawaiian) to make their company seem "ethnic" or some other bullshit. It pisses me off.

amazing article criticizing such an exhausting trope in storytelling about women and motherhood. I hate how media tries to portray motherhood as a beautiful thing, but then show nothing good about it. it's just good for the man who gets to do nothing with the child and just works. tired of this.

In the past 2 decades, the U.S. has lost over 20% of its butterfly population. Other insects are declining too – bees, moths, dragonflies and more.

Texas officials appeared to be almost entirely issuing vital emergency alerts about the deadly Kerr County flooding via Facebook and Twitter/X.
Utter malpractice to restrict these alerts to social media platforms that huge numbers of people don’t use anymore.

I refuse to give the NYT my eyeballs, so I can't speak to the specifics of this article. But any historians attempting to use AI for either writing or research should be run out of the field. AI is inherently unable to do anything we need it to do to understand and communicate history.
Lots of commentary on this piece already, all of which I agree with.
For historians, research is a fundamental part of writing.
To farm it out to AI changes the nature of this intellectual process in fundamental ways.
And as Stacy Schiff points out, it also takes all the fun out of it.
