i’m sentient and i don’t go around trying to destroy anyone who didn’t actively work to make my birth happen because that would be really weird. it would be comedic if somebody actually tried to do that. why would that be something you’d consider? so then why would a mythical AI waste time on it?

This is correct and must be understood in these terms. Imagining that there is any daylight between the people being targeted and you is a fool’s game. The situation is emergent and we need to mount an organized response

I often think people make the mistake of looking at Tolkien's published results and copious world-building and thinking it was all done in advance. It's simply not true, and if he could wing big chunks of it, you can (and perhaps should) too.

In a total betrayal of their constituents and our democracy, 10 Democrats just voted with Senate Republicans to give Trump and Musk a blank check to continue their coup. @schumer.senate.gov led Democrats to this total surrender. We need strong leadership, not cowards who cave at any GOP pressure.

it is grimly hilarious that, given the immense, decades-long fetishization of "leadership" and "leadership skills" in business-oriented academia and politics, even unto the formation of leadership institutes, there should turn out to be no leaders in any positions of power

"Back to our friends in the commentariat, perhaps the most typical character of the age is “the non-conformist conformist:” someone who says what everyone else says while flattering themselves that they are telling a bold truth that no else one has the courage to say."

I think it’s fascinating how this administration’s guiding principle on every single policy is just “be evil.” Starving children? Take away their food. AIDS patients? Take away their treatments. Refugees from conflict zones? Deport them. Nations under attack? Cut off assistance. VA? Fire everyone.
