Liberals are so hell bent on “saving democracy” as if it isn’t an extremely easily exploitable system that lead to and gave us Trump as president twice.

Like getting money out of politics is one thing, sure, but people still aren’t acknowledging the nearly 50 year Republican project to poison everyone’s brains into voting for demonic fascists like W and DJT. Democracy just doesn’t function when people are so susceptible to propaganda.

Everytime I see a liberal say “but Dems have to run on bigotry to win in red state!” I just think about how they could actually just shut the fuck up and not talk about us.

Obama saying this kind of bullshit while campaigning for a transphobe who all the libs are rallying behind because her Republican challenger made an attack ad featuring her estranged mother accusing her of lying about being SA’d as a child is sort of peak “the American experiment has failed” energy

Liberal: “Anyone who would vote for a right wing party right now is a moron” In most of the rest of the world the Democrats would also be considered a right wing party. That’s kind of exactly the point leftist are making and trying to correct.

Even just on the basis of libs wanting Dems to win: it’s a much better strategy to appeal to the largely popular leftist policies than it is to hedge on deeply unpopular right wing policies. Anti-trans ads are hurting Rs right now, so why is adopting anti-trans lines seen as good politics for Ds?

The Carrie show is interesting because it asks “What would Carrie’s story look like if it was connected to the wider King mythos?” The Jason show is interesting because it asks “What if we made up a bunch of random bullshit?”

I don’t inherently have an issue with creating lore in general, but the Friday movies are largely enjoyable because they have none. When Jason comes back as a zombie in 6 the movie just shrugs and moves on as normal. He becomes a space cyborg in X and it’s just business as usual.

Spent the last two days watching all four Carrie movies and the new show. The original is obviously still the best but I really liked the expanded take in the show. I thought it was interesting to shift the focus of the story on the people who were most to blame for the disaster.

We urgently need to come up with a term for “proper uses of machine learning that are good” so that every anti-ai conversation doesn’t have to spend half the time with people saying “well of course I support use /xyz/ use cases”.

As with all technological advancements, they are tools that can be used for good or evil. Right now it’s more important that we stop the evil uses of AI than it is to preserve the good uses of Machine Learning.

I didn’t understand why people didn’t leave when it became the Nazi site, but anyone still using Twitter at this point is contemptible.

In 10 years the way every TV show casually references Bigot Wizard constantly is going to be viewed with the same disgust as the shows over the last 10 years that have glazed Elon Musk as being one of the greatest minds of all time.

“Grandma, why is this old tv show praising the work of a fascist bigot?” “I’m afraid it was the style at the time.”

Sometimes I feel like the only leftist left that still likes the MCU.

Also now the DCU is tainted by Nikky Hoult being cast in the bigot wizard show. Is no cape shit sacred anymore!?

The issue with Hank Greens whole “my takes on AI are more impactful because they are nuanced” thing is that at no point does he recognize the primary issue with “AI” are the ways in which is, by design, entirely corrupted by the perverse profit incentives of capitalism.

Like could machine learning have practical use cases if it was made ethically? Yeah obviously cause we do have some of those (funded in socialist ways). Will it ever be made ethically in a fully capitalist framework like LLMs and GenAI are? NO. OF COURSE NOT.

The Ken Jennings thing broke Bluesky containment to Reddit and people there are hailing Ken as the best ally of all time while saying trans people are too sensitive about him supporting the institutionally transphobic NYT.
