- Comment on Why democrats under Biden administration didn't release Epstein files? 3 hours ago:
Well specifically, it is still an ongoing investigation. What happened was Pam Bondi had the first half of files in her office, made a big public announcement about having requested all remaining files and waiting on them to be delivered, wrote a letter to Kash Patel about it and publicly released it.
Then when she read whatever was in that second half of files that got delivered to her, she suddenly wasn’t so eager to release it. Image

- Comment on Ted Cruz's plan to punish states that regulate AI shot down in 99-1 vote 2 weeks ago:
Fair enough. That’s never been a doubt to me. I still don’t understand how the Zodiac killer could hold office as long as he has, but as long as he’s got power, he’s going to keep trying to destroy this country.
- Comment on Ted Cruz's plan to punish states that regulate AI shot down in 99-1 vote 2 weeks ago:
? I don’t see them trying to sneak an AI regulation ban again anytime soon. This is about the strongest bipartisan support against a bill I can recall in my life.
Many of the people that voted against this are to blame for many of the other problems we’re about to be hit with.
However, of all the scary shit in that bill, this was one of the most concerning to me. Specifically in terms of irreversibility to the damage it would do, the creation of national AI surveillance databases being built across the country, and the kind of environmental and safety regulations that will have to be ignored in order to power them.
The closest thing to hope, I hold for my own state, is that I just hope whatever lesson we ended up serve as in future history books isn’t on the same scale or worse than Chernobyl.
I can breathe a little easier knowing that the entire country won’t be facing a mandatory federal law demanding they be more like Louisiana in terms of deregulation in order to make a terrible idea actually profitable, regardless of how many people it hurts.

I’m sorry, but that’s bullshit. This would have been the inverse of how a federal government is supposed to work. Rather than keeping individuals from being exploited at the state level, the exploiters are now at the federal level creating policy. They’ve had a plan in place since Trump’s first term, and they don’t want blue states interfering.
Governors of states are already looking to remove federal safety regulations to build small modular nuclear reactors in order to power these dumb fucking data centers they will likely be using to store very unethical surveillance data.
They are also planning to use AI to more efficiently build nuclear reactors. While removing federal oversight and safety regulations that have been in place for 50 years… What could possibly go wrong?

- Comment on We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent 3 weeks ago:
It’s only as intelligent as the people that control and regulate it.
Given all the documented instances of Facebook and other social media using subliminal emotional manipulation, I honestly wonder if the recent cases of AI chat induced psychosis are related to something similar.
Like we know they’re meant to get you to continue using them, which is itself a bit of psychological manipulation. How far does it go? Could there also be things like using subliminal messaging/lighting? This stuff is all so new and poorly understood, but that usually doesn’t stop these sacks of shit from moving full speed with implementing this kind of thing.
It could be that certain individuals have unknown vulnerabilities that make them more susceptible to psychosis due to whatever manipulations are used to make people keep using the product. Maybe they’re doing some things to users that are harmful, but didn’t seem problematic during testing?
Or equally as likely, they never even bothered to test it out, just started subliminally fucking with people’s brains, and now people are going haywire because a bunch of unethical shit heads believe they are the chosen elite who know what must be done to ensure society is able to achieve greatness. What must be done just happens to make them a ton of money and harm people using their products.
It’s so fucking absurd to watch the same people simultaneously forcing traditionalism, and a legal system inspired by Catholic integralist belief on society.
If you criticize the lack of regulations in the wild west of technology policy, then you’re trying to hold back progress.
However, every other non-tech related policy should be based on ancient traditions and biblical text.
What a stupid and convoluted way to express you just don’t like evidence based policy or using critical thinking skills, and prefer to navigate life by relying on the basic signals from your lizard brain like feels good so keep moving towards, feels bad so run away, or feels scary so attack!
