Anthropic is out with new nonsense about Claude (or the collection of models called Claude) deserving moral consideration and/or be able to feel distress, so my inbox is filling up with journos asking me to comment. I've also got a day job, so here is a brief set of public comments on this: >>
Here's the thing: most books that are banned don't make the lists that get circulated each #BannedBooksWeek. If you're a book creator and your book gets banned, please respond to this post with your book and its buy link on bookshop.org. That way we can support indies and banned books 💛
Bookshop.org: Buy books online. Support local bookstores.

Not to insomnia-weigh-in on the concept of restorative justice, but I thought long and hard ten years ago about what I would say if someone asked what Alex Kozinski could do by way of restorative justice. (Nobody ever asked.)
In almost every poll, Mike Rogers can’t seem to break past 45% while Abdul El-Sayed is doing well (even clearing 50) but doing worse than Jocelyn Benson. The results in November will likely allow people to shoehorn their own narrative regardless

My rocket engineer told me the ocean keep eating his rockets so I asked how many rockets he has and he said he just goes to the Starbase and gets a new rocket afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding rockets to the ocean and then his CEO started crying.

My conspiracy theory of the day: I've been getting more spam emails make it to the inbox with Gmail. My theory: google is allowing more spam through intentionally because it makes it seem to spammers that GenAI is crafting better/harder to detect spam, so they can sell more LLM tokens.
It’s life and death. Until we snap out of it and address that, we’re going to see arguments about visible tattoos and short skirts and hairstyles and religious (not Christian) symbols. They’ll make it feel petty. It isn’t.
Meanwhile the real miraculous future tech is solar & mRNA vaccines: preserving the planet and curing cancer. But we’re supposed to hand everything over to malevolent peeping toms and resource oubliettes for an ill defined ‘pay no attention to the man behind the curtain’ progress. It isn’t rational.

I'd have thought that the goal of a nominally centre-left political party would be to build a voter base of marginalised groups with overlapping interests and not to deliberately alienate minorities and then get arsey about it. But, what I failed to consider is, they don't want to.
