This probably isn't the platform to use to make this call -- I don't know what is -- but there is an urgent need for people in the broadly "liberal" alliance against Trumpism to figure out how to make use of LLMs to serve our political and social goals.

Do opticians or opthalmologists ever suffer hayfever? Less than 24h after being told to stop wearing contact lenses for 3 weeks, the rhinitis and madly itching eyes I normally suffer far less because of wearing contact lenses is, frankly, worse than the pain in the eyeball.

I actually kinda dislike the framing of "bubble" or "echo chambers" because it implies a lack of access or knowledge of other viewpoints. That's not true. I think a more accurate framing is that different sites have different cultures. And... that's kind of normal.

Former CISA and NCSC heads caution against glamorizing threat actor names with fancy titles. They propose humorous alternatives to make them sound less appealing, such as renaming "Fancy Bear" to "Frumpy Mole" or "Cozy Bear" to "Cuddly Sloth," aiming to diminish their mythos.

People (other people, not me at all) have a tendency to read or watch dystopian fiction and assume they'd be OK, because they'd either be at the top of the system (e.g. an Alpha in Brave New World) or heroically evading it. What is this? More than "protagonist bias", and "alpha bias" is taken...

this is why organizing with Boomer Libs is a very good thing right now 1) they remember Kent State, those were their peers, when they do the flower thing it has an extra level of meaning 2) it is demoralizing to make people who consider themselves warriors and heroes oppress a disappointed grandma
