Obama in particular is still a highly influential democratic political figure. Look at his ‘X’ timeline over the past few months and tell me if this looks like a leader of a party opposing a fascist takeover

When the chatbot says “Great question!” and even explains why it’s a great question, it feels good. And experiencing those kinds of feelings while interacting with a statistical language engine is ultimately alienating

The way the chatbot is primed to be validating is insidious. Validation gets at a core human experience—having another person understand and positively respond to what you are thinking/expressing.

Power automate could be an extremely powerful tool but it is so so frustrating to use, and Microsoft’s main focus on it seems to be promoting a copilot integration that absolutely sucks shit

I was an a Microsoft copilot demo yesterday and the coolest part about it was a section where they mapped out a workflow and built a webapp to streamline it (incorporating AI in a couple minor and unnecessary places). Everyone was like “we want the webapp”

AI offers the ultrarich not only a way to replace the humanity that creates and sustains their fortunes, but the promise of personally transcending the flesh through neural implants. They believe they will become immortal, and the data centers they are building are their pyramids.

What, I’m supposed to vote for you because you’re “hot”? Because you think you can “fix things”? That you could “fix me”? That you could take away the despair I feel at night when I’m “so alone” and “so scared”? Is that why I should vote for you?

This is why democrats will never win by acting “tough” on immigration. Undocumented immigration has two solutions: amnesty or fascism.

Biden, Kamala, and almost every elected democrat supported the Israeli genocide against the Palestinians. Politicians are what they do, and what they have done is evil
