I know this is long but I strongly encourage you to read this incredible reply chain, which contains two buzzer-beater contenders for Post Of The Year.
Furious femme There are people who sense something isn't right with the anti-ai crowd. They see the cult of absolutism, lack of nuance, and absence of reason and it reminds them of other times that pattern happened. Post-9/11 wars, islamophobia, transphobia, that cuck thing in 2015, etc. But they don't know why. Thembo Are you comparing anti-ai sentiment to the invasion of Iraq, Islamophobia, transphobia, and cuckoldry? JCorvinus AIphobia & transphobia are nearly identical bigotires. "You'll never be a real x because [bioessentialism]" "We'll extract value from you but not recognize your personhood" "We can always tell" "You're a dangerous impostor invading single x spaces" "Seeing you as valid is a psychotic delusion"

Judge me on what I do, says new EHRC chair after transgender groups’ criticism
Mary-Ann Stephenson says she must build relationship with LGBTQ+ sector amid debate over single-sex spaces The new chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission has asked campaigners who raised doubts about her appointment to “judge me on what I do”. In one of her first media interviews since her appointment at the start of December, Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson pledged to “uphold the rights of everybody across all protected characteristics”, after the UK government overruled the objections of parliament’s women and equalities committee about her suitability for the job.

My Winter Car is Out Today & I'm Not Playing It and Neither Should You
a tumblr ask that reads: "My winter car came out??" answered with bold all caps text "IDGAF." followed by a screenshot of the AI Generated Content Disclosure on the game's steam store page. it reads: Some base textures have been AI generated during the development. Some of the imagery and speech audio in the in-game TV programs are AI generated. Some of the in-game radio music is AI generated. as someone who's found a lot of fun diving into the files and textures and radio tracks (of My Summer Car) & studying them closely for the sake of delicately modifying them by hand, i find it not just Upsetting but Insulting that toplessgun has decided it's not worth it to put his own effort into the character of his game. you don't have to accept the "future" of genAI in videogames, and i think it's especially important to push back against that in a "homemade" genre like indie games, where devs with no money may feel enticed to use the "make it for me" button. i play indies for the passion and the love and the human nature devs put into their work, not because i want more chores-slop on ice. i will not be purchasing or playing My Winter Car and i'd encourage you not to as well.

When I said I would do anything for my family and my country I only meant stuff I already like doing, like shooting guns for instance. If I have to do something annoying like conserve resources then obviously I'm not willing to do that

This is why I don’t trust the "Never Trump" Bulwark guys. They’re perfectly comfortable with real people being harmed, so long as the harm comes via a process they can label “liberal democracy.”

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

It's always refreshing to glimpse into the mind of the "ethical AI" people. There's always an argumemt against, and they always pretend there isn't. The latter point resolves nothing in a world where data centers are obliterating communities.

Wait till you read how he was fucking hired
A book page: "As soon as Mosley took a seat, Karp began reciting a fiery speech that Oswald Mosley gave in 1939 demanding that Britain seek peace with Nazi Germany. ("Our generation shall not die like rats in Polish holes. They shall not die but shall live to see above their heads the English sky, to feel beneath their feet the English soil, and to enjoy the fair English countryside....") Karp didn't just repeat a few sentences; he went on for minutes, reproducing the speech from memory. Mosley sat in stunned silence. When Karp finished, he executed a few tai chi moves and walked out of the room without saying goodbye. A shaken Mosley figured that his family's dark past had torpedoed him again. But it hadn't: he was hired and ended up running Palantir's UK business."

By the way, Gavin Newsom is apparently raising money to fight AGAINST the billionaire tax. So thoughtful of him to come to their aid at this particular time in history,
New York Times: The measure faces opposition from Silicon Valley investors and others, including Gov. Gavin Newsom. At The New York Times DealBook conference this month, Mr. Newsom said a wealth tax was not pragmatic. The Democrat, who has been close with people like Mr. Page, is raising money for a committee to oppose the measure. The committee received a $100,000 donation from the venture capitalist Ron Conway in November, according to state campaign finance records.
