This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

As a social relationship, of course! It's changing society right now! But it's changing society because our ruling class and an aligned group of administrators and managers are using it to change society. Not because of the underlying claims about how it works and its capabilities.

it really needs to be more openly discussed that all the people advocating for “we should be fine with losing basic skills if we get more systems thinking” are men, meaning socialized to expect to be able to offload basic tasks of daily living onto a wife as part of their compensation for existing
Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?”
Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

If you don't think your job is to hold a historically unlawful and unpopular executive accountable, then you should resign so someone can do the job we elected you to do. Christ. Loser.
My only regret about this is I don't get to say it to your face. Change your mind or quit.

i consider myself a pragmatic voter who often feels pressured into pulling the lever for candidates who may not fully align with how far left my ideals are and the only pragmatic way forward in the voting booth is zero concessions on trans rights. full stop.

Not really sure where a bunch of liberals got the idea that they can’t win without throwing trans people in the garbage, but they’re stupid and cruel and wrong. If you want a human sacrifice so damned bad put gavin newsom in the wicker man

Y'all don't understand. People fucking suck in my state. Which is why you have to suck too to get them to vote for you. They are too fucking stupid to ever want anything better. And they'll kill you for even trying. This is how it will always be.

i'm skeptical about the idea that throwing trans people under the bus would ever be the difference-maker for dems, but i can accept that people honestly believe it, just as they honestly believe it about women's rights. but then the question becomes, ok, under what circumstances is this "necessary"?

No one there is smart enough for this to be the actual reason. They're arguing over who is taking the blame for Trump's last public diaper dump or whether their shoes fit
Apocalyptic warnings over what unregulated artificial intelligence could mean for humanity’s future have sparked a bitter civil war at the White House.
Major White House Split Leaks as Aides Freak Out

There’s such an easy answer to this “gotcha” question and it’s “Sports are inherently unsafe and unfair and it’s ridiculous to single out trans athletes when we allow 150 pound linebackers to go up against 260 pound linemen in freshman football on a daily basis. Let kids play with their friends.”
