No matter who is in the White House, our courts should have access to the best available science. Political leaders can debate policy, but the judiciary should be able to evaluate evidence without scientific resources becoming another political battleground!

I want to make it clear, none of this is said with judgment for anybody doing “AI training” jobs. No principle I might have on the matter supersedes the need to make rent and get food and, like, fucking survive.

My contempt is reserved for the companies responsible for this vile shit.

The very existence of the job points to what a grift Regurgitative AI actually is.

What companies call “training” is really just giving it things to repeat. It’s letting AI take credit for the work of a human writer, just to keep an illusion going.

Degenerative AI is scam upon scam upon scam.

The systems that identify outbreaks overseas are often what prevent them from becoming emergencies at home. As Ebola spreads in central Africa, reducing the role of the very agency built to track and contain infectious diseases is a decision that could have consequences far beyond any one country.

Trump came to the brink of unleashing horrific destruction on Iran's civilian infrastructure simply because he was tired of being briefed on how we were losing every day, & once he was denied that he checked out even more. It is the most pathetic performance of any world leader in memory
