The blood libel accusation highlights an element of Israel’s behaviour contributing to antisemitism that is rarely discussed. In defending the most horrible crimes Israel has spread this AS trope to millions of people who didn’t even know it existed, while simultaneously robbing it of any meaning.
becca rothfeld 4h drives me crazy when people use “moralize” as some kind of insult or slur. yes, it makes sense to “moralize” an issue that you believe to have moral stakes, and indeed to “moralize” about things you believe to be…immoral. that’s….what….morality…is Michael Inzlicht 2d I’m about to submit a paper, “The Moralization of Artificial Intelligence,” where we find that AI opposition is partly driven by moralized gut feelings rationalized posthoc, that AI moralization historically exceeds even that of vaccines or COVID mask-wearing, and that it leads people to forgo AI use at real material cost to themselves. This entire essay could serve as our epigraph. I hope you are ashamed of yourself and your dwindling humanity, and I think it should be legally required for people to say when/if they’ve used AI in the process of writing something so that I can avoid it at all costs. becca rothfeld

The other day, Google's Ai attributed a false claim to me and linked to my blog posts on the topic, which did not support the false claim.
It sure felt like slander.

The HARDAC Batman, which is an AI powered android of Batman, with his face half peeled off (he did it himself) realizing he ain’t shit but a moderately sophisticated program
Watching people do the AI consciousness conversion as if it’s something worth having and once again realizing you can arm your child with all of the defenses they need against Most Of Today’s Discourses by showing them the entirety of Batman TAS

Box 1 — Implications of intractability
I had a realisation
Context: In our Reclaiming AI paper we argued that AI systems cannot scale up to human-level cognition without consuming astronomical amounts of resources
My realisation: The AI industry is determined to burn through the earth’s resources just to prove us right *empirically*
I've been saying this for years.
I also want a third horn that plays "Move Bitch, get out the way!"
Your regular reminder that white women love violence and genocide just as much as white men do.
