Many people have the comeback that an LLM shouldn’t be expected to know how to play chess. In that case, what other things is it not supposed be to be good at, but people are using/recommending it for?

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

I mean, I can’t believe it was deliberate unless it was sabotage, but the levels of incompetence also needed for this to get out there are pretty stunning.

So just to keep things on the right side of the truth, that footage isn’t from the No Kings protest. It’s from Hands Off a couple of months ago. bsky.app/profile/jjnm...

Our military deserves better than this empty charade. Yikes. The tank squeaking over silence is incredible.

The soldiers couldn’t march straight, and at some points the crowd was so quiet and sparse all you could hear was the squeaking of tank wheels.

So I had to look this up. It’s a famous anti-war song about how the sons of the rich and powerful dodged being sent to Vietnam. The marching is comically bad. What is going on?

There is only one side in American politics that consistently supports and endorses political violence. People need to stop being afraid to say so.

Where are the NRA? Why aren’t they confronting ICE? Why aren’t they confronting the Marines and the National Guard?

Just a day before the assassinations by a right winger in his own state.

Why won’t he say how he knows the “police car” isn’t actually a police car?

you ever think about how in 2009 DHS released a report about the growing threat of violent domestic terrorism from the right and then Republicans got so mad about it the DHS secretary resigned?

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

When media amplify right wing demonisation of the left as intolerant, when they treat lunatic far right ideas as “reasonable concerns”, this is what you get. People acting as if that’s true and not bullshit.

So Mark Cuban has been complaining about BlueSky Is he perhaps taking things personally?

This is everywhere. Every academic institution I know is held together by some exhausted woman in her early 40's who waits until the old white male professors have finished their vague rants and says, "alright, so concretely can I propose the following next steps..." She makes half their salary.

It is 22 years ago today that my best friend, Nick Everton, died. He was 17 years old. Not much time to leave a mark on the world you would think. But those of us who knew him came away irreversibly altered by even the short time we shared together.... 🧵

Looking across the papers today, anti-trans rights commentators and politicians also seem to be the ones opposing making abortion legal. It shouldn’t be a shock to anyone - they’re against bodily autonomy. For everyone.

JKR has gone full mask-off now - this is an overt incitement to violence. And digging up an old, weird lie about 1970s paedophilia to make herself feel even better about it.

I missed this interview at the time. It’s very good hearing someone put unprofessional transphobe Justin Webb in his place. www.thepinknews.com/2022/10/22/b...

More of this tone please 😏

Block and report this far right extremist account.

How the attempt to insert AI into our lives isolates us:

but then something strange happened. suddenly there were kevins everywhere. kevins in places kevins were supposed to be. kevins hiding in plain sight.

Pestilential crook
