met a neuroscientist who trained an LLM on thousands of parables and was stunned by its capacity to interpret. no human could have done it, they said. a lot of ai amazement is people brushing against the humanities, being unable to imagine the scope of our work, the time it takes, the skills we have

"The report aims to push back on 'critically flawed' political and media narratives that blame women for rejecting marriage and parenthood due to a perceived lack of wanting a child." Embarrassing that this was necessary, frankly. globalnews.ca/news/1123400...

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.
