Wait, is work towards Artificial General Intelligence and Artificial Super Intelligence just the modern day version of creating an ubermensch? Is it really just that basic? The lack of imagination in Big AI is astounding. Right wing ideology is a hell of a drug.

The mail is, if we're ranking priorities, a bigger problem than Trump calling himself a king, because destroying the USPS violates the Constitution just as badly and also interferes with any ongoing efforts to oppose him

I wonder if there's a pathway now in which cis people could sue the federal government for having pronouns of any kind on official documents and darabases.. 🤔 Wouldn't it be hilarious if the current admin inadvertently opened the door to a major gender abolition win?

1. Grateful to @willbunch.bsky.social for mentioning my work in his column. Covering tech extremism has, at times, been a very lonely experience. As someone who always wanted to be a journalist, I’m not sure it’s still an honorable path. My faith is shaken, but… www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

Broligarchs under Democratic administration: “They’re going to take all your data and make Chinese Communist social credit scores!!!” Broligarchs under GOP administration: “We’re going to take all your data and feed it to an AI.”

This is the bigger problem of right wing dominance on social media and influencers. It's artificial, it's purchased and continually renewed w/ ad buys & placement buys. It costs a ton of money to run a campaign like this. That's what the left needs, but the rich who claim to be left don't invest.

And arrogant. Ive never encountered a class of people so convinced that they and they alone have the answers to everything, no matter what the subject in question is--from higher education to medicine to art and literature. They might have no training or skill in it, but are convinced they know best

This administration's attacks on trans people aren't "a distraction" from everything else they're doing. We're not a distraction. What they're doing to trans people is the most bad thing of all - everything else being done is to distract people from the targeting of trans people for extermination.

I am celebrating, but also... this guy is now a major target for foreign intelligence. He might have added backdoors that only he knows about. This is why the security clearance comes first and records are kept.

In dark times it is easy to become overwhelmed, to feel helpless. That is what your enemies want. Defy them. Deny them this, and let that be your first step toward denying them victory, and then seizing it yourself.

Just heard a segment on @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com about the already devastating impact of Musk's USAID activities in halting aid to Africa. Given the likely scale of death and suffering, could this be enough for him to be charged with crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court?

I'm so excited about this! Now I want a Bookshop eink reader. Maybe custom branded for the local bookshop of my choice with a percentage of the proceeds going to them! And also that partnership with the library system. I think that would be really cool.

New from me at @dailydot.com - one of the engineers helping Elon Musk do an end run around democracy and the constitution won a $100,000 OpenAI grant for proposals on “democratic governance” of AI and invoked the US Constitution in a paper on “AI alignment.” www.dailydot.com/news/elon-mu...
