Lemkin was a Jewish lawyer who coined the term "genocide" because of the lack of response to what the Ottomans did to Armenians, and who set the definition used in the Nuremberg trials after the WWII.

If you think of “AI” as a purpose-built Big Lie force multiplier, things start to track.

People who tend to vote Republican are not seeing any of these posts here.

Speaking to that audience is giving Daily Kos in 2003 vibes.

Sorry, not sorry.

Imagine losing your most precious colonial territory because the subjects object to animal fat used in the cartridges of their army-issued rifle.

Kids and I hit this up once a week.

They’ll be crushed.

@VikingChieftain @rightardia

I’m not saying you’re wrong.

I don’t have evidence that governments can deal with corporations on much of anything besides a few dominant industries (see: oil & gas, arms manufacturers, agricultural resources).

If they could coordinate on pharmaceuticals, they would have by now.

“Regulatory capture” is real AF.

Don’t expect U.S. institutions to unfuck themselves soon.

The EU might be able to advance this subject, like they did with privacy, and then it will take a state-by-state effort stateside, assuming we still have a Republic.

If “#AI is shorthand for shitty”, it turns out that management is realizing that “shitty is good enough”, quality is irrelevant, and the costs will be for their successor to bear: https://www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/understanding-the-real-threat-generative

Now it’s ruining the careers of players themselves, since some can’t resist the urge to gamble, apparently.

All had to do was not say anything.

And he just could. not. resist.

You steal one guy’s idea to make a show about nothing and your inability to be a character actor and live long enough to project all your insecurities.

Yes, 147 congressional representatives voted against certification of the 2020 election hours after domestic terrorists interrupted them.

Republicans would rather burn down the Republic than tolerate a pluralistic democracy.

Supporting a Face-Eating Leopard is what the nihilistic shameless will do.

They are pot-committed and a performance artist with a felony conviction persuades them to believe they are right, it’s the system that lacks virtue.

I could go my whole life without seeing the video of a dead momma cat with live babies crawling around her next to train tracks fed to me by the fucking YouTube algorithm. I don't give a fuck that the person takes the cats in, which is what the title claims. (Honestly, who sees such a scene and whips out their phone?)

The algorithmic incentives have damaged people’s psyches in so many ways.
