Sorry but this is cope. Young people use LLMs constantly, to the point that it’s ruining education. Talk to literally any teacher who grades essays, at any level. Cheating has never been so epidemic. It’s at crisis levels. The young will not save us from AI or whatever
Seth Harp@sethharpesq

Only older people are buying the magic beans of AI. It's rather sad, actually, seeing senior citizens bamboozled into believing that another industrial revolution is imminent. But they partly WANT to believe, perhaps to atone for their generational failure to make a better world.

@cmclymer @CheriJacobus I honestly don’t know how we’re ever going to tackle the big issues if we’re constantly doing this. People power requires people. Every strong political movement in history required this. We have a threat and we have to reckon with it.

When Marjorie Taylor Greene occasionally does something right, I chalk it up to a broken clock being useful twice a day. That doesn't mean ignoring that it's wrong the rest of the day. Those on the far-left attempting to prop her up as a hero have lost their goddamn minds.

@GMMeyer @NateSilver538 I'm far from an AI hater, I use gen AI every day. But I'm starting to think it'll be very difficult to emotionally engage the audience without real human lead actors giving real performances. Everything else can be heavily AI though.

@HeerJeet Pretty sure AIPAC didn't make him vote against the infrastructure bill or pull that fire alarm.

It's instructive to see how centrist liberals are trying to minimize what AIPAC is doing in the Bowman-Latimer race, where the lobby group has spent more than $14 million to make this the most expensive house primary in history. Denial is a big part of their ideology.

I think people just need to accept that AOC has chosen a different path than what DSA is moving towards. At this point I don't think we can do anything about it.
Kevin Frey@KevinJFrey

Rep. @AOC on her decision to contribute to the @DCCC for the first time, as first reported by the NYTimes: "If Democrats do not retake the House in November, I do not have confidence that a Republican majority would certify the results of a presidential election."

Hey all, just an FYI - there is no publication date set for my book yet, and the title is not yet decided, regardless of what you read online. We are hard at work, it’s a process. When there is a pub date and title, I will announce it. That said, I sincerely appreciate your excitement for the book. Will let you know when there is news to share.

@J_Drake @SwannMarcus89 I was around, I was just a dumb young right wing fundamentalist who believed in young earth creationism.

It wouldn't be as annoying as dumb leftoids in other countries pretending to care about the Palestinians as they work tirelessly to undercut America's left-of-center party in favor of a far-right that would be infinitely worse for Palestine

@thehill It’s not a Trump fundraiser. It’s for the 917 Society, a group strongly supporting the Constitution, and this event is held at Mar a Lago every year.

@SwannMarcus89 In the rich areas of Maryland around DC it's poor people, shitlibs, and moderate GOP that want the Purple Line. It's Progressives and MAGA that hate it.

The typical neoliberal elite is less likely to oppose a public transportation project than the typical DSA member and you have a totally inaccurate view of the world if you disagree with this

When we tried to build public rail in Nashville, it was overwhelmingly voted down and the DSA opposed it on bizarre anti-gentrification grounds The reason US socialists are so useless is because they blame elites for the bad opinions of non-elites (including their own allies)
Bhaskar Sunkara@sunraysunray

Stewart is playing into Tucker’s hands on the subway thing. Plenty of liberal democracies have great public transit. We don’t — that’s the price of austerity and elite neglect. (Stewart’s point about the groceries though is pretty obvious.)

I want TV back, man. Like BACK BACK. I want shows with 15-22 episodes back. I want shows with 6 seasons back. I want shows with appointment viewing back. I want shows where we get to watch the characters grow. With real arcs. I want theme songs. I want the TV experience back.
