He really seems to believe that he can bully foreign leaders into doing what he wants, and then is perpetually baffled and at a loss for how to deal with it when they don't.

Today, I signed an executive order establishing the first-ever Mayor’s Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs and appointing the brilliant Taylor Brown as Director.

Queer New Yorkers deserve to be not just protected, but celebrated in this city. Together, we will fight for their right to live a life of dignity, safety, and unabashed pride.

How a Decades-Old Loophole Lets Billionaires Avoid Medicare Taxes Some of Wall Street’s richest and most powerful figures are using a legal loophole to avoid paying millions of dollars in taxes earmarked for health care, a ProPublica investigation found.

Billionaires are using a loophole to avoid Medicare taxes.

Closing it β€” and eliminating other ways around the tax for wealthy business owners β€” could raise more than $250 billion over 10 years for the program.

Pete Hegseth: β€œThe only thing prohibiting transit in [the Strait of Hormuz] right now is Iran shooting at shipping. It is open for transit should Iran not do that.”

What a fucking idiot.

A prompt for ChatGPT to create a world map and then a world map image

A prompt for ChatGPT to create a world map and then a world map image

Well the true best prompt here is: "What is the prompt needed to get you to generate a completely accurate world map on the first try" and then workshop the prompt with the AI, and then generate the image. Which is what I did here and got a pretty darn good image.

Blocked! Sorry for being educated on a subject. God forbid we don’t knee jerk to every surface thought and half baked argument.

We should obviously stop all filmmaking until we consider the impacts on the world.

Anime Is Booming. So Why Are Animators Living in Poverty? (Published 2021)

Oh you like anime? Why do you hate anime illustrators? BIG ANIME overworks and exploits talented people in order to make your entertainment.

We should stop all anime production until we stop the terrible practices in use to create it.

Sure it can. Thats a prompting error not a capability error.

What if the NEXUS is actually a panacea for cancer, but because we weren’t in the room when deciding its application, it is named the TORMENT NEXUS, and used for torment instead?

Again that’s a little of throwing the baby out with the bath water. There are plenty of LLM systems trained and run only on self-owned proprietary data.

Khan Academy’s Khanmigo is one that only has their own content in the system…

Yes, again, which is why you need advocates in the room when building tech. If you’re just β€œanti-tech” or β€œanti-ai” you’re opting out of discussions about who is making them.

But people are thinking up ways to be responsible. example!

Yes, these are problems to be solved now, but more importantly, imagine a room where creating ChatGpt was challenged with the eco damage in the first place. Someone at the table who said β€œhey this bad right now, can we fix this before deploying?”

We need those kinds of people developing the tech

Horrified by the attack on Temple Israel in Michigan.

It is unacceptable that another Jewish community is left traumatized by such blatant antisemitism in America.

Everyone should be able to pray in their house of worship without fear.

Maybe I didn’t make my point well, but I’m saying that the development and applications of tech need to have better leaders guiding them and we need to hold them accountable for what they do. No one responsible or knowledgeable is in the rooms with these putzes

Agree. It’s not the use, it’s in the building and development.

I really don’t understand the points you all think you’re making. My point is we should be banning people like Sam Altman and having more responsible people figuring out what the tech is and how/if it can be used in responsible ways to benefit people.

I know a lot about this topic actually. Being for all people includes using tech for the betterment of the world, and that doesn’t happen in the hands of the current bunch of morons running things.

12.03.2026 21:19 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

All of your points are correct! And why we need to be in the rooms deciding how when why they are used. Thats my point.

Interestingly, there are ways responsible people are trying to stop the ecological issues (Finland data centers that heat the city) or companies like Extropic who trying to create more efficient chips that require a fraction of the energy
