@coryfromphilly Let me tell you about a little concept called use value versus exchange value.

Chinese infrastructure photos are wild because they seem so advanced, except then you're reminded that China has a GDP per capita similar to Mexico. Impressive 30+ year gains, but what this tells us is that infrastructure is actually kinda easy to do!

@SamHaney12 @austinahlman @bhaviklathia Except every election where this is the strategy the Dems lose . . .

@austinahlman @bhaviklathia Be careful what you wish for. Most swing voters are more like Liz Cheney, not like Hassan Piker.

This is called a swing voter. I think successful political parties should try to court them.

@Rosiodonnal @DEADLINE stfu loser

@DEADLINE Had to Google a bitch. Imagine where she'd be, if the technology to "capture" people on film or video didn't exist. She'd be plying her "trade" on a fucking stage, complaining about the same shit. A.I. is the fucking future. DEAL with it.

@MagicFlower22 No lol

Direct Hit in Israel a few minutes ago. Please Pray for us !

@ProfMJCleveland I think it's over time for cops to play candy crush on their phones.

The most out of control cost that New York City residents deal with everyday is the New York City government.

@Ostrov_A Actually I am cheering.

Horrific! Iranian ballistic missile striking the central Israeli city of Petah Tikva, as families meant to be celebrating Passover, one of the holiest periods of the Jewish year! World response? DEAFENING SILENCE!

@Misa_Roumi Back to Brooklyn maybe?

When even shelters are no longer safe, where can people turn?😱😥

@WIRED Stfu ya credulous hacks

Researchers at the company found representations inside of Claude that perform functions similar to human feelings. wired.com/story/anthropi…

@binarybits Lots of people want to use AI, but nobody wants to read that shit.

I think some currents of contemporary left-wing thought are best understood as secular people craving the shared sense of moral purity we traditionally got from religion. Most recent example: taboos against AI use.

@SethAMandel Thank you for your totally sincere concern for the lives of Palestinians.

Big part of the problem with Western discourse is that the 'pro-Palestinian' advocates in the West don't actually care what happens to Palestinians, they're solely focused on harming Israel. So you get opposition to Iron Dome, a position that puts more Palestinians at risk

@OzraeliAvi Congrats on wasting your life in service to evil

After years of putting my life on the line defending Israel, calling out every blood libel and every terror apologist, yesterday’s Knesset vote has finally broken me. They just passed a death-penalty law for convicted terrorists “with blood on their hands.” I’ve spent my entire adult life arguing Israel is better than this. Turns out I was wrong. This isn’t self-defence. This is the moment we became what our enemies always claimed we were. I can’t defend it anymore. Not today. Not ever again. The mask is off.

@CarlyPildis Why are they in the bomb shelters though?

It’s absolutely despicable that any Member of Congress would commit to this. The most outrageous part is the verbiage “so-called defense capabilities.” Israelis are currently in bomb shelters. On October 7th Israelis were gang raped, burned alive, tortured and killed. Even puppies weren’t spared. Israelis have a right to self defense and America should stand with our allies. No fake concern for Palestinians here - defunding US contributions to Israeli self defense systems would not only fail to improve Palestinian lives in anyway, it would endanger them. Completely unforgivable behavior.

@Ostrov_A Fuck around, find out

🚨 It’s just relentless! On eve of Passover, one of the holiest periods of the Jewish calendar, Iran is raining down missiles - with cluster munitions - on Israel.

@RepJoshG @AOC You're not confused. You just support genocidal slaughter of Arabs.

I’m confused. Defensive military aid stops rockets aimed at innocent children and families. So, why oppose it? We provide defensive military aid to Ukraine, Taiwan, Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Kenya, etc. @AOC Should we cut all of them off? Or is that your policy just for the Jews?

@JamieMetzl Go be a fucking republican then ya fuckwad

I am a Democrat. I would never support AOC for president. It would be suicidal for the Democratic Party to choose a far left extremist as our candidate.

@ericadamsfornyc You were such a wonderful mayor of Tel Aviv!

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just committed to voting to strip civilians in Israel of protection from rocket attacks. This is not a vote against the government of Israel, or Netanyahu. This is collective punishment against ten million civilians, Jews, Muslims, and Christians. Voting against defensive systems isn’t progressive. It isn’t pro-human rights. It’s indefensible. There is no moral justification for leaving civilians exposed to deadly rockets aimed at them.

@guypbenson It allows Israel to indiscriminately slaughter people across the entire Middle East.

Iron Dome (purely defensive) saves so many innocent lives and AOC is now apparently committed to defunding it. Wrong types of lives that system is saving, it seems.

@NewYorker Truly, at this point, fuck your feelings.

At many Jewish institutions, rejecting Zionism is indeed regarded as a form of sacrilege. But more and more American Jews are having a hard time reconciling other core features of their identity with support for Israel’s current government. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/KbUGTg

@bballbreakdown Let me push you in the shoulder with full arm extension and see what happens then.

The push off by SGA is the one move I think should be called more often. Especially when he extends the arm fully. But don't forget: the defender is already moving in that direction so sometimes it looks worse than it is. I'm not sure there was a ton of influence by this push off tho

@DKThomp This is helpful because now I can just mute you.

Writing is thinking, and people who outsource the full writing process to AI will find their screens full of words and their minds empty of thought. But also: All writing involves and has always involved “outsourcing”—reaching outside of the writer’s mind to pull in pieces of the world, before and after the work of making words. Writers draw their ideas from other people, books, articles; after writing they often rely on outside copy editors, fact checkers, transcribers. Some of this stuff is just going to be done by AI in the future, and the boundaries between “good behavior” and “bad behavior” will have some blurry lines, and we should be honest and open about the blur rather than declare everybody with an open Claude window a part of the slopclass. Anybody who says AI transcription of long interviews obliterates the identity of a writer is being a little silly. But what about copy editing? Claude is a fast and decent copy editor, but it is inhuman to rely on it for that function? Is it moral to google “Econ papers on income transfers for child poverty” but immoral to write the same thing as an AI prompt? What about throwing 500 muddled words into ChatGPT and saying “does this make any sense? what do you think I’m trying to say here?” That’s going to be useful for some people. At an aesthetic level, I don’t like copy-pasting AI paragraphs into articles and pressing publish. That feels like me cheating myself. It feels like de-skilling. But the idea that “using AI” is anathema to the identity of being a writer is, in a few years, going to sound an awful lot like claiming that “using a computer” is a violation of the craft of writing. (Which, haha, maybe it is and we should all just go back to Steinbeck and his pencils; but talk about ships that have sailed.)
