I'm just British, but is it strange that the Republicans are barring states from legislating on Ai, and the Democrats are threatening secession?

Agreed, I think there will be a body of people who have wholly internalised the aidvertaisaing nexus and because enough people will do it, they will manifest as an economic force that can be marketed to and directed towards specific labour. I think crypto and maga are both precursors of this.

NEW REPORT: Artificial Power, our 2025 Landscape Report, is out. Today’s AI isn’t just being used by us, it’s being used on us. We urgently need to reclaim public power over the future trajectory of AI. Another path is possible. Read the report: ainowinstitute.org/2025-landscape

The law favours men over women when it comes to physical violence, because within the bounds of the law, a large person can overwhelm a small person infinite times with the most minimal consequences. And it's not that the small person can't fight back, it's that all their options are illegal.

If they don't understand it, it must be nonsense. If not their's, nobody's. If uncontrollable, a threat. If inattentive, insubordinate, etc.

The corners of the British establishment are just starting to curl up in journalistic indignation at the horror that is Nigel Farage, but it doesn't have the sense of gleeful cruelty that their attacks against Jeremy Corbyn took on, instead it feels peevish and scared, and isn't as pervasive.

Anyone interested in 3D printing some funky dice—like a "fair dragon" which can land in three different ways, or a single die equivalent to to 2D6? We've now put printable STL files online: www.cs.cmu.edu/~kmcrane/Pro... More info here: hbaktash.github.io

I am appalled at the recent decision by presiding officer at my workplace, made without any consultation with staff, trade unions, or building users. Pleased to see so many colleagues organising to fight this transphobia. No one should have to prove their sex just to pee at work
