Jesse Jackson was the 1st person I voted for in 1988. I'm not Black. I'm not Jewish. I'm not Ukrainian. I don't even know anyone from Iran. I just know what is the right thing to do. If my neighbors are pushed out of the Big Tent then I will go with them. #Pennsylvania #Democrat

There is a systematic effort on Wikipedia to erase the Jewish identity of Holocaust survivors

@alt_echo_ Hit the "talk" tab on Wiki entries & see the Qatar-funded pro-Pali propaganda war being lost in real time. Pretty soon Hitler will just be an under-appreciated painter. The downside of collective open-source editing. They've put up a good fight but they're getting swamped.

College students who do their work with chatbots LEARN NOTHING. What is morally repugnant is lopping 50 IQ points off every student in America by allowing them to outsource their thinking to a token predictor.
Tim Gill@timgill924

Let’s be honest. All these people upset about college students using AI are just jealous they didn’t have it when they were in college. They just want them to suffer like they did. It’s an old story: “Well if I suffered, they should too.” It’s also a morally repugnant position.

@jimstewartson My AI bought a really fun & cool complex puzzle for me, then it did the puzzle & took pics & posted them on my social media. I was already dead, tho. Nobody noticed.

The AI discourse dances around one fundamental question: Why live? As humans, what is the purpose or joy of living? If we just let AI do it all while we, what? Nap? Die of boredom or lack of movement/thought? Just waste away? Not a good trade.

the complete embrace of AI by college admin is one of the great betrayals and tragedies in the history of not only education but human thought itself. even at a small lib arts college, I'm constantly getting emails inviting me to learn how to "integrate AI" into the classroom.
Ryan Broderick@broderick

So I'm 36 years old and, you know, out of touch with what's going on at colleges, so maybe this is a dumb question, but did every school in the country lose their fucking minds lol. Why have all these universities baked AI into their graduation ceremonies? What fuck is going on?

@barrykane760 You may be familiar with "squad" Rep. Summer Lee of Pittsburgh. She slid thru on 3rd party contested races, now holds a deep blue seat. She erased her old posts & promised oh no she wasn't DSA anymore. Guess what? Now she's buddies with Hasan Piker. I fell for it, at first 😡

@MobiLibrarian Very aware of them back then. No one would listen. I had to deal with them in the Santa Cruz County DCCC and at several CA State conventions.

Google announces it will now prioritize AI-generated answers in search results over human-written website articles. A move that could make it significantly harder for independent websites to gain organic traffic starting next Tuesday.

@barrykane760 The DSA & fellow travelers said straight up ~2015 they were coming to wreck us & hoping to rule over the wreckage. We might have just listened... It's an old commie strategy: Entryism. Look it up. *sigh*

John Fetterman votes with Republicans 7% of the time and Democrats 93% of the time. Yet Democrats hate him and Republicans love him. Great example on Democrat insistence on complete agreement on all things. There is no marketplace of ideas in the Democrat party.

Feels bleak that people have grown so sick of having to read and learn, two of life’s greatest and most rewarding pleasures, that they built machines to spare them from ever having to know anything again. I feel as though I’m living in a prequel to Fahrenheit 451.

I feel a cold fury whenever I open a pdf of some paper to read and Adobe is like "Hm, this looks long. Would you like me to just summarize it for you?" No, fuck you, Adobe. The paper is long because it contains a lot of details that matter. Why wouldn't I want to read them?

@killinger_95944 @JamesHayesforPA Maybe. But I loved her when she was new. Don't underestimate how many like me are disillusioned with her now. It would've been so easy for her to reach out. I guess we'll see in November.

@jjabbott Finally talked an Indy friend today into registering Democrat in Allegheny County (Pittsburgh area.) Most of our stuff gets decided in the Dem Primary, so it's just pragmatic to make sure your vote counts.

I’m generally fine with open primaries in PA but I dislike how it’s framed as an impossibility now for unaffiliated voters to vote in a primary. Why discourage participation? It’s quite simple to change your party registration online before and after. It takes about 5 minutes.
