Not taking crap from a bully is not bullying.

If you cede power to corporations, as SCOTUS is doing, then yes.

I don't think you can blame Mamdani for other people misinterpreting his remarks. Indeed, that's absurd.
And you are ignoring the original, and established, meaning of "intafada". Possibly, you are a little biased.

That's hardly necessary for the limited argument here. Corps as people is one of SCOTUS's dumbest rulings ever.
Hypothetical AGIs deserve more consideration, but that's a societal choice.

"Reaching for history" means fabricating stories in their lingo.
Hegseth is an idiot. But he's also a liar.

Ta.
Basically, they say the evidence is lacking. The Trump response includes shutting down all research that might produce such evidence.

I guess the ad writers need to use their AI to substitute for their own lack of creativity. Ooops! That's probably what they did!

Zionist apologists should be publicly shamed for spreading this lie.
It does Israel no good to be "defended" by such lies. Israel's reputation has been gutted by its genocidal response to the mass murder of 7 Oct.

Deciding whether some derivative work really does violate copyright by being too similar to prior work is precisely what the laws and their enforcement in the courts have always done.
That's a legimitate, but too limited, regulation of AI as well.

Legum in his article seems to ignore the difference between being capable of reproducing others works, which the law does not prohibit, from actually producing those works w/o permission, which it does.
Of course, AI tools are capable of violating the law. So what?

something it's not.
There's definitely need for new legislation both to regulate AI and to protect creatives in the face of it.
Twisting existing law into pretzels is not the answer, however, @juddlegum.bsky.social
comment in response to

Legum, rather sillily, calls this "anthropomorphizing" AI.
It puts AI in the role of an agent in terms of existing law. If you want to put AI in some other role, then you need new legislation to do that.
Legum & others are trying to turn existing legislation into...

Physicists have no power to disprove the existence of free will, they only have the power to prove the extent of their own philosophical confusion.

Whoever is in power in Iran, this regime or a next, they have heightened motivation to develop a bomb.
Trump (and Netanyahu) are not doing the region any favors.

Scientists should stick to talking about testing for or against determinism, which is possible at least. 🧪

properties may change. Water is whatever we drink, regardless of its composition.
Similarly, free will is what we "possess" when we make decisions, no matter whether it is caused, stochastically caused, or magical.
comment in response to
post
Deciding free will doesn't exist because we find a coordinating common cause for non-locality would be like saying we could prove water doesn't exist by showing H2O is an impossible bond. "Water" is a rigid designator and doesn't change meaning because our understanding of its....

Ordinary folk aspire to being able to afford private schools. That's what keeps their tax dollars flowing to them, even while their kids don't.

“Cammack doesn’t fault the Florida law for her experience. Instead, she accuses the left of scaring medical professionals with messaging that stressed that they could face criminal charges for violating the law.”

Instead of the Repukes who introduced the criminal charges.
The ability of humans to rationalize foolish conclusions is unique in the animal world.

"An executive suite for Turner, the construction of a new executive dining room, exclusive use of one elevator for Turner, and a gym for Turner and his family."
But it's not about Scott Turner. He's sacrificing for the greater good.

As an atheist and democrat, I oppose all religious states, Israel included.
The Jews there deserve a safe environment, but not a religious nor ethno-state, w others second class at best. I don't know how that was ever considered reasonable.

Kristol seems to think support for Mamdani shows Dems are in disarray. I think it shows they are recovering.
Dems acting in lock-step would truly be the American death knell.

Probably it's worth it to them to not upset the status quo.
