if i understand financial literacy properly this means we all need to liquidate our 401ks and invest heavily in those weird nipple clamps the bad guys wear in the new Mad Max movies

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.

People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

I don't think these sloppers get insulted enough in public. I seriously think everywhere they go, people act as if they're saying really worthwhile, thoughtful things. Embarrassing!

It isn't. But would you chance throwing a sandwich at someone who will then treat you like a roid'ed-out dude who is trying to knock them out?

The point is to include increasingly dangerous tactics into their training so when they really hurt/maim/kill they can say it was part of their training

In the days of "shoot and cry" they pretended to be remorseful. I have to imagine this is less insulting

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

Presumably the same quality of advice she provided the Gore campaign

No government should ever concern itself with whether its people "appreciate their sex". Fuck off.

That’s the entire logic, it has literally nothing whatsoever to do with fraud, and we need to hammer this home constantly

I'm not an advocate for this: I want llms to disappear into a black hole and never been seen again. But I also want people to read books and poems and make art and listen to music. We can't keep boxing it away in fear of the machine.

The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.

“Social murder” is a term created by Friedrich Engels to describe the premature death of marginalized people due to political, social, or economic oppression.

What is happening right now in America is the premeditated, calculated, & planned extermination of children who are trans. This is genocide.

So, uh. In disability studies we call this a "disability dongle" or a techno-utopian solution to a problem that appeals to the able-bodied imagination rather than the actuality of disabled life itself.

Deploying a LLM to translate a legal notice for an asylum seeker functions similarly.

This sounds like somebody who grew up rich trying to imagine what poor people sound like.

We know how cash money works FAR BETTER than you do. You might know systems like stocks & IRAs & bonds & trust funds, but we do know cash money. We know SNAP doesn’t buy EVERYTHING at the grocery store.

Given a false choice of input or output, checking output is far more important in this case. Responsibility must fall somewhere between “AI” output and having pulled the trigger
