between this and bans on gender affirming care, the message couldn't be clearer: they want trans people to die whether they've transitioned or not. death through neglect has always been america's favorite form of genocide. same thing we did with AIDS and continue to do with homelessness

Was consumed all day at work by the fact that trump tweeted "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" at Iran, which from any normal president would be hugely consequential and it wasn't even a story because the media has just sort of deformed itself into nihilistic acceptance of the fact that he's insane

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Here, I made a helpful graph to assist with “Cities are where very, very large numbers of Americans live” discourse, with real Census data and everything.

Send someone to be indefinitely detained in a foreign gulag illegally and then try to retcon a legal/PR rationale for keeping them there after the fact. Literally tyrannical.

I saw someone say AI is useful because it generates ideas. My dude, I'm full of ideas. I have docs and docs marked under 'ideas.' I have outlines and fragments of stuff I might work on. Trunked stories galore. Even if I continue to write a novel a year for the next 40 years I won't run out of ideas.

The Chicago Sun-Times fake book list is even worse than it first appears. It's part of a 60-page summer guide that included tons of fake quotes and fake people. Generative AI needs to be nuked from orbit or at least kept a thousand miles away from journalism. www.404media.co/chicago-sun-...

LLMs are not search engines! Do not trust their output! And definitely do not print an article generated by an LLM in your print magazine without seemingly doing even a few seconds of fact checking!!

This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years. from @404media.co www.404media.co/republicans-...

Completely agree and it’s the difference between conservative media aimed at the poor (complete lies for indoctrination purposes) and conservative media aimed at the rich (sober, accurate info to help you manage the company/portfolio/country you rule)

The most apt metaphor I have seen about using LLMs to read and write for you is it's like weightlifting with a forklift. Technically the task is accomplished, but in a completely useless way that sidesteps the entire point of doing the task.

A world historical crime, taking place in full view, with the perpetrators so convinced of their impunity that they can brag about genocidal intent, and it’s hard not to agree with their calculation that no one will stop them and no one will be held accountable

not everyone capable of thinking deeply is funny, but I've found that the marked inability to be funny (while trying to be!) really underscores that person's lack of ability to think deeply

"Some officials say U.S. citizens who criticize administration policies could be charged with crimes" I always wondered how mainstream journalism would cover an impending dictatorship here. Now we know.

Do not use Grok or Chat GPT or AI art tools. It's important. I know they were funny to clown around with when they first arrived, but now we know more about what purpose they serve. If you are serious about the threat you think they pose, do not use them even for ironic reasons
