"Too many of us have trained him to think that we’re all pushovers. He’s been trained to think that everybody’s a coward because so many people around him are cowards, and so many people who vote for him are cowards."
"Although some of our media heroically try, and I understand the impulse, there is simply no way to understand Trump’s actions in terms of any framework of US national interests. The reason for that is that he does not care about the United States of America at all." — @timothysnyder.bsky.social

This is the young man who kept Hegseth and friends in line today. Total respect for him, such bravery and dedication to his duty. He was following orders and doing exactly what he was trained to do. 🏅🫡

That's the way it happens in Russia. People disappear never to surface again. Maybe, the ICE was trained in Russia.

Palantir’s Alex Karp on one of AI’s benefits: That it “disrupts humanities-trained voters & makes them economically powerless, increasing the economic power of vocationally trained, working class, often male, working-class voters”.

It is a crime that more library schools don't teach about the Tougaloo Nine, who fought back against segregated libraries in MS. I think of them every time someone in the ALA starts going on about how neutrality is a cornerstone of the profession.
What if I told you that Tougaloo College is also higher ed? It's a place worthy of 1500 opeds in the fanciest magazines and newspapers! It has students whose hopes and dreams matter!

2) GenAI was trained off of human-made work.
You will see similarities because genAI is derivative of OUR efforts, not the other way around.

Also they should be paying residuals on that shit. It’s not like a one time thing where they trained the AI, and now sufficiently enriched it doesn’t need to use it again! No! That stuff powers every single answer every single time!!!
Important to remember that Anthropic almost certainly stole millions more works than are accounted for in the settlement. They're only paying to folks who registered copyright. But they still are thieves who stole from thousands of people who own copyright but did not register.

Furthermore if you did not figure out that the 'ground-falcon' in WICKHILLS was a velociraptor, sorry, but also, wasn't she very well-trained and SO polite? ☺️
Probably a blorbillion people have said this already but the entire 'Hey did you know there were velociraptors inside the buildings' sequence in JURASSIC PARK, especially the scene in the kitchen with Lex and Tim
I just love it

My son asked a question this morning that is a very good one for Discourse™: What is you all-time favorite *scene* in a movie?
