this is the intended use of gen-AI btw in case anyone didn't know. they want 10 years of unmitigated unregulated slopfeed programs in all your electronics and the states' electronics so they can cut loose a wave of propaganda that would have made edward bernays and marshall mcluhan blush

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Instead of using this money to fund, say, the National Weather Service right before hurricane season, they're using it to send Marines to Los Angeles. THIS is waste and abuse.

Never mind the singularity, this is the imminent social problem with AI: the upsetting of the de facto social contract between content producers and search (which was problematic and shitty already). If content producers starve because AI summaries eat their traffic, things are gonna get real weird.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

The reason we make games about immigrant food is because food is is the first step in connecting with culture. People will accept immigrant food before they accept the people that make it. You can’t separate the two. We got to celebrate our game in LA this week despite the anti-immigrant assholes.

Note the copy and pasted right wing talking points. One of the reasons they're so effective is sharpening the hate filled talking points of their audience into a single point of focus.

Yes, “disaster” is the correct word – this is a public health catastrophe. The pressure for him to resign should begin tonight, and continue until it happens. Nothing else should be in front of this. Go to a 19th century cemetery anywhere in this country to know why.

This is why we’re out in the streets - you cannot defend the actions of people who would lie to kidnap 1st graders. Any human being with a conscience is going to take that personally.

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous. prospect.org/justice/crie...

this speaks a bit to my argument about leaving twitter. it's not about ideological purity, it is about the fact that it's been turned into a political weapon for people who wish to use it to harm others. it's not the marketplace of ideas - you do not have to participate in this project! very simple!

this is incredibly lazy, murphy should link the huge, exponential increases in ICE funding proposed in the budget to these actions, they’re not separate, they’re intrinsically linked

At this point I have nothing to say to or about protestors. The executive should not be sending active duty military to a major city with a vague mandate, in violation of the only statute that he has cited, while his lawyers draft rules of engagement on the fly. Period.
