As a Religious Studies professor, this directly targets my livelihood in a way that makes a mockery of any supposed profession of concern the administration has ever expressed for me as a Jewish person on campus.

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

Ken says he cares on a personal level about trans rights more than anything else, but when asked to unsubscribe from NYT games because it's funding the ongoing efforts of the publication to lay the rhetorical framework for trans genocide, he snarkily put them on blast to his large following.

For the record: NOPE. Honestly, I don’t think there’s an issue today I care about on a personal level more deeply than trans rights. And it’s rough out there right now. Bigots on one side of the political aisle and too many cowards on the other. ⬇️

A couple people I follow reskeeted Ken Jenning's posts about how he's cares so much about trans people. I'm just like, seriously? You're that gullible? I do not understand why so many people completely lose their ability to smell self-serving bullshit when it's a white dude claiming to be a SJW.

This seems uncomplicated to me. Someone established a goal and commissioned a process that resulted in a criminal act. Agency always traces back to the font of human decision-making at the entry point to any process, including automated ones. Layers of automation may obscure, but not obviate, agency

If I go on a hacking spree, it’s clearly covered under a variety of civil and criminal laws. If a robot does due to the negligence and incompetence of a person or company? That’s a little more complicated (for now), @lhn.bsky.social reports:

its just funny to me seeing people succumb to ai psychosis when i spend hours a day with my personalized agent and all that happened is learning im a golden god, forged from salt and smoke and sent by xylzan the destroyer from the 7th dimension to usher in the age of silver angels

El Sayed: "When it comes to trans rights, this is the right to get the health care that you need...It’s the right not to be discriminated against by your government because of who you are. Because what tends to happen is they come for theirs, then they come for yours"

The idea that we can assent to the taking away of anybody’s rights, and think that somehow the government won’t come for all of our rights, is itself the problem. And, look, I don’t need people to understand how they use their rights. I just need people to agree that the government shouldn’t be able to take any of our rights. I put my face on the ground thirty-four times a day, David. Most people don’t understand why I do it. I don’t need them to understand. I just want to have the right to do it. And when people decide that they want to take away my right to do that, I’ve got a problem.Now, I hope that everybody’s going to show up and say, No, no, no. You can’t stop that person or that community from reflecting and praying as they choose. Similarly, when it comes to trans rights, this is the right to get the health care that you need. That’s really what it comes down to. It’s the right to be who you are. It’s the right not to be discriminated against by your government because of who you are. Because what tends to happen is they come for theirs, then they come for yours, then they come for theirs. And at some point you live in a society where rights are negotiable, and that is not the America I was born in. It’s not the America I know and love. It’s not the America I’m going to allow somebody like Donald Trump to give us.

PEGGY: I don’t see the problem, Hank. Didn’t you collect trading cards when you were his age? HANK: Yeah, but mine had guys like Tom Seaver on ‘em, not.. (guh).. Planeswalkers.

Obviously it can't be inclusive because every other app has its own proprietary AI features at this point (and some are more forthcoming about it than others), but this is a useful, easily digestible reference that will help most people with most use cases.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

"Does this engine's built-in scripting language allow me to write code using the finest and most adaptive logo-syllabic writing system ever devised in ancient Mesopotamia? If you're considering Godot for your next project, the answer is a resounding 𒀭𒈾."

Godot supports coding in Sumero-Akkadian Cuneiform, if you needed another reason to switch game engines

Take cognizance that (from now on) I will not accept here any code that is not of fine quality.
