Like, i genuinely feel bad for this dude, but in large part because he so fundamentally misunderstood the man he called his hero. I mean, that has to be just utterly devastating.
And yet here we are, over a decade on, and this shit is still shocking to like, Most People.
Good, hope it continues to. google still never should have integrated "AI" into their bullshit like this, in the first place.
Just literally zero consideration of social implications or harms. Jfc
No, but my point is that where we are right now was prefigured by a LOT of people workkng in various intersections of philosophy, technology, sociology, etc, and not nearly enought people (regulators, governments, societies) tried to get out in front of it
From what I hear, that's called "psilocybin" but even that needs a bunch therapeutic talking afterward :\
It's ingrained into so many parts of our society. It's a mess.
One of the most unfair things about this universe is that healing takes so so much longer than the harm that caused it, and it Fucking Sucks 💜🖤
The key, unspoken word for the people who claim to believe in both of those propositions, is "some."

Really exciting stuff happening in oncology, y'all.
A doctor with glioblastoma—an aggressive brain cancer that kills most patients less than a year after diagnosis—has now been cancer-free for a year, thanks to a world-first personalized vaccine.

Like… handwritten post hoc police reports notoriously distort and amplify certain elements, especially concerning race, and often in a reciprocal relationship to whether a crime is charge, for whom, and of what level of severity.
This is going to be a fucking mess.

And this absolves admins of NOTHING. They could hold firm on principled ground but instead they collude with or cowardly capitulate to billionaires and politicians. So no, "the donors made me do it!" isn't an excuse.
Collusion gives no one an out from anything

oh wow that's exactly what it is
And a large swathe of us were idealistic kids who wanted, desperately, to believe that such amazing, world-changing, above-all-else GOOD things were really possible
That's why I put them in quotes
Everyone spent the last 30 years going "oooh gee whiz!" at the internet and new tech, while simultaneously declaring that we should listen to & revere nerds, doing that thing we constantly do of thinking there's some value-neutral category ("tech," "nerd") and not just human values all the way down.
A scam is a spell that taps into your desires & beliefs, then turns them inside-out to leave you empty but (for a time) grateful. So we craft a spell to feed our needs & desires, & maybe even seems to prey on fear, but transmutes it into caring & compassionate Scamming people into their best selves.
Exactly! I was so happy with all the conversations we got to have with everyone, and all the genuine consideration in the rooms. And then to end with THAT
All the worst people have realized and accepted that magic is real, and are using it to enrich themselves and amass power. Imagine what we could if the rest of us accepted it too.
Truly and deeply so. And so much is right now.
Doesn't look like they're inclined.
Blocked me too. And that was the NICE version of what I could've said 🤷🏾♂️
Cool. That's *a* good use case out of literally hundreds of places people are trying to cram this stuff in, regardless of whether they should, or whether it does anything at all like they claim it does. In fact, with active evidence to the contrary. It has some good use-cases. And the rest is hype.
Hoping for the same, on this

Yeah nah those are not morally equivalent things. Bye
Anti-protest, "crime-fighting," "law and order" bullshit. D.C. did the same thing, recently.
Both of those things, and frankly even if and when the state breaks that, the damage the republicans will have done by that point will be deeply entrenched
