my dudes there's no such thing as "too late" to regulate AI, that's a fake idea. AI models aren't untouchable data gods, they're algorithms hosted in cloud storage. Saying we can't regulate AI is like saying we can't deplatform Child P*rn bc "it's already out there". Like, 1s and 0s can be deleted

Here are the 128 House Democrats who voted to table (kill) the Rep. Al Green D-TX impeachment resolution against President Trump over the Iran attacks.

I am so glad to see someone else talking about this. It’s an issue I’ve been concerned about for a while. I once worked in a place that had some critical legacy systems that predated the current engineers, and people were terrified to touch them.

This is the same Massie who gave us one of the most self-abased bootlicking stunts of the Trump era when he, a congressman from Kentucky, ran campaign ads in Florida denouncing his primary opponent as a Trump hater just so the audience of one at Mar-a-Lago might see them.

Yes @chrislhayes.bsky.social and just to be further crystal clear: it is also completely an abuse of power and an impeachable offense. Simply calling it illegal is not enough. This is a High Crime against the state for which Trump needs to be impeached and removed from office. @fsfp.bsky.social

There's no declaration of war, and no AUMF that covers this. Entering this war is wrong on the merits; we had a perfectly peaceful way to address Iran's nuclear program. It's also unlawful. A democratic republic should not be able to enter a war of choice on one man's say-so.

All this bullshit around the world right now is happening because literally just a HANDFUL of motherfuckers are trying to avoid justice & reckoning for their previous crimes. We COULD have a decent world. We COULD make things better. We are able to do that. And these selfish fucks won’t let us.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

I don't know whether Mahmoud Khalil is a good or bad guy. I don't know whether Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a good or bad guy. What I do know is that they are entitled to due process, because if they're not, Trump's little masked men can detain any of us regardless of whether we're good or bad guys.

When the lawsuits againt 50501 happen (and they will), I'm almost certain we'll learn that cops wrote their "peacekeeper guide". Not only does it feature racist caricatures, it also parrots the discredited body language pseudoscience cops use to justify shooting minorities: "angry eyes", etc.

Two things: 1. The purpose of these visa checks is to reduce any sort of dissent against the Trump administration globally. 2. Social media posts that reflect "hostile attitudes our citizens, culture, government or institutions" would disqualify the majority of Trump admin officials.

While I applaud Democrats attempting to do something, they should not do this unless they're willing to walk right past off-brand Steve Bannon. Standing there helplessly, asking to enter, then getting turned away by a guy in a Hawaiian shirt is not a flex. You look impotent to voters.
