It’s really stunning how the USA has so swiftly shifted from being one of the most techno-optimistic and tech-industry-loving countries on earth, to a country where most people seem to assume - not incorrectly, at least in many cases - that tech is out to get them.
Why is the U.S. public so much more negative on AI than almost anyone else?
Well, I think the fact that the U.S. AI industry is being lead by a bunch of very visible, crazy weirdos who talk about how AI will take everyone’s job and maybe kill us all the time is a pretty key factor.

People around the world have interestingly divergent opinions on AI - but most agree that they expect it to cause more job loss than growth:

This is how you respond to right wing bullshittery, you treat their bigotry with contempt, you treat them as lacking any seriousness on the issue. You reject their framing,

this takes an incredible amount of character, not just to give it up, but to admit all of this. This guy has more guts than any AI fuck by a mile, and maybe more than us too.
People who've managed to escape AI usage are invaluable towards convincing others to do the same.

I wrote an essay about why I'm done using AI for coding, even if it costs me my job and career: brettcodes.com/im-done-usin...
The basic gist is: AI made me a worse, apathetic programmer. I think it's bad for humanity, the planet, and the craft of software engineering. And I'm done using it.

I'm done using AI
Why I'm stopping using AI for coding (and anything else) after using it earnestly for a year and coming to understand the harms it causes on personal, societal, and environmental levels.

What do you do when you've launched a moral panic about transgender athletes in the WNBA, but there has never been an active trans player in the league? Simple: you start a conspiracy theory about every single woman on the court.
There Are No Trans Women in the WNBA, so Right-Wingers Are Making Some Up
As culture warriors continue to stoke the flames of a gender panic in professional sports, wild conspiracy theories are coming into play.

I think it's bad that the Democrats' House leader is having secret chummy meetings with a guy doing a domestic ethnic cleansing operation and funding a genocide abroad, then spending his entire week going on cable news to complain about a lefty Twitch streamer who nobody knows. Sorry for offending.

the lessons we need to take are clear. Dolly said "find out who you are and do it on purpose", and Tim Curry's line is "don't dream it, be it"
they would both be disappointed if we wrote that off as corny. so what? it's necessary. we have everything to lose if we are dishonest to ourselves.

Every single Dem candidate should be forced to watch this interview with El-Sayed like Alex from a Clockwork Orange until they learn that this is how you push back on disingenuous attacks on trans people
El-Sayed calls out Jesse Watters for his fixation on culture war issues instead of pocketbook topics

the american and chinese peoples are cousins. we have the two greatest redneck traditions on the planet. both western propaganda and the great firewall exist to keep guizhou and tennessee from linking up and destroying global capital
stuff like this (the entire genre of Chinese redneck videos too) and xi jinping becoming best buds with a random town of Iowans back in the day seals how much we’re fundamentally the same

reminds me of that piece a few months ago that showed academics think white students using AI are just making efficient use of resources and black students are cheating
There's actually research on this and it involves scrutiny. If you're Black people are going to look at your work looking for mistakes in a way they would never for white people.

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday.
Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.
