AI doomers are just as delusional as the AI evangenists
I can’t believe we’re doing this again. It’s just a bot that generates the text you ask it for. If you put it in charge of critical decisions, it will kill people. Not because it’s secretly evil, but because it’s a word generator. It’s like putting your toaster in charge of air traffic control.

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.

Mike Johnson is saying the quiet part out loud––shooting a woman in the face, tearing apart families, and terrorizing our neighbors is what ICE is *supposed* to be doing.
This is a lawless agency that can't be reformed, retrained, or reined in. It has to be abolished.

Not too be "that guy" but I'm pretty sure a group of ICE guys is called a "clench". From their broader collective term "a clench of assholes".

if you can’t use language to reflect very straightforward power differentials then maybe you shouldn’t be in the language business.

Mine would be a gothic horror style, with the ghosts of war crimes painted on the wall behind every president's portrait. I would pay the artists handsomely for their most intricate murals.

We can't be the party of wealthy corporations and the party of working folks. It's time to choose the people.
