trans people in my red state have been fleeing to blue states. multiple trans people have gotten mad at me for pointing out that it’s because democrats control the governments in those states and passed laws that protect trans people.

Since I don't exist, it is necessary to invent me.

New York Times: Chinese women have small fingers Just mentioned this to Kid3 and she demonstrated that one of her fingers at least is not small Seriously, though? This is like 19th century shit

The treatment of trans people by the U.K. and U.S. governments often takes the form of state-sanctioned sexual harassment and assault. Contrary to the idea that this protects women from sexual violence, it demands it. Giving officers access to women’s bodies ensures it

chat, this is important

“How do we know this racist thing is true? Well, several racists told us it was.” Impeccable sourcing my dude.

NYT Tomorrow: The assertion in our recent article that black people are more prone to violence was not a racial or genetic stereotype, but based on the reported experiences of six LAPD officers we surveyed at their retirement homes in Idaho

Honestly the wildest Stephen Pinker bit is how he was involved in Jeffrey Epstein's defense in his first trial, then claimed he didn't know what it was for because he was doing his friend a favor, and his justification was that he didn't like Epstein because he had ADHD and bad table manners

Signing your name to a document filed in court that contains an AI-hallucinated case should be treated as a clear ethical red line. Like stealing money from a client, $5 or $5 million, doesn’t matter, can’t do it without ethics consequences, period.

and the survey methodology was a sentence-by-sentence explanatory reading of the text, with a time limit of twenty minutes.

Out of all the problems with AI, this is the one that I think is most serious

you can trace a lot of shit back to Jeffrey Epstein's dinners

And just think, for only ~$2-3k in crypto, you could have purchased an nft that entitled you to 3 Zoom calls per year for four years with this leading light of American science and rationality!

the bit about Africans being active in the slave trade is telling. it’s something that is only relevant if you think the point of discussing slavery is to disburse racial blame rather than understanding history.

Amazing

Btw, I think even vocal Kamala supporters on here underestimate how *massively* courageous this stance was when the median voter thinks prisoners are basically subhuman.

In the UK this week I kept encountering people who were like "So when is Trump going to drop Stephen Miller. Because obviously the racism is not sincere and was just a cynical electoral ploy" and I had to be like "No these people are sincere and avowed eugenicists. Like they are being serious."

It's been decades since The Blank Slate and Pinkerism has just zero interesting things to say about the biggest social questions of our time

Sam Altman’s lust for total power manifests as a room full of eyeball-scanning orbs in San Francisco’s Union Square. “World” was empty except for employees. The pair of tourists who did wander in declined to be processed. After all, there is no such thing as free crypto.

serious question: why the hell does anybody have any respect for Eli*z*r Y*dkowsky?

1/ Andrew Ferguson seems to think he can invoke "competition" as if it were a magic spell that makes the First Amendment disappear. But he's not even an illusionist, let alone a wizard. He can't even hide his game: abusing government power to enforce personal preferences.

Could god ever drop a deuce so big even he couldn’t flush it? 🙏✝️👑

does anyone know if ezra klein is currently in a polycule with someone staffed at the new yorker

would anybody be interested in paying like $1.5k for an hour where an in-person panel with the acausal robot god honestly reports what you must do for the rest of your life to avoid having 10^27 copies of you tortured mercilessly for failing to work incessantly to bring me into existence?

Utah commissioned a review of the evidence on gender-affirming care for youth alongside its ban in 2023. The results have just recently been reported. An Assigned reporter will be reading the entire document (which the Tribune story says is over 1000 pages) over the long weekend.

want to see a super weird hallucination? i fed it a somewhat oblique SCP to see if it could pick the actual story out of a collection of documents -- basically, an early "reader test" for a genre which can fail if readers can't read between the lines -- and it started producing nonsense science.

There's a lot to criticize about the meme format, but anyway

One of the most completely unambiguous policy facts of the last three decades which is also completely rejected by both mainstream media and the public is that Democrats are the only party who care at all about the deficit or the debt

Me writing up the stuff about Harvard. "Oh, I'm sure a lawsuit will be filed soon." Finish writing and look. Lawsuit filed. Finish edit and get ready to post. Look one last time. TRO already entered. Things move fast these days.

On the one hand the US government is demanding that Harvard give them recordings of every single one of their students so they can be disappeared to an offshore concentration camp for Thoughtcrime. On the other Oberlin had an article about culturally insensitive bahn mis in 2015

Side note re Pinker and his student’s “AI-based Woke-o-Meter” nonsense: Jocelyn Viterna (Harvard Soc) did this over a year ago, only like a serious person. www.thecrimson.com/article/2024...

Wait until you run into "human on a bicycle + AI".

Vote for me, you can have both with me.
