"Ideas is infectious, more than diseases." โ Wayne Terrisborn, #TheLostMetal by #BrandonSanderson
There are a lot of problems with an approach to AI centered on using language to interact with humans. Firstly, language is absolutely great at building consensus and persuading people. That seems to be what it excels at. Language allows lying and insincerity. Language is pretty awful at logic. It is bad at sharing facts (e.g. describe a face so that someone else can recognise it). See: Language vs Reality, by NJ Enfield.
Secondly, the entire field is terrible. See: Your computer is on fire, by Thomas Mullaney et al.
The members of a Christian Nationalist movement are disgusted that a rising star within the Christian Nationalist movement wrote a bunch of things that were definitely anti-Christian.๐ค
Which boggles my mind b/c by definition, a "Christian Nationalist Movement" is entirely anti-Christian.๐
Bought the kids grappling hooks for Christmas.
Because we're all #GravityFalls fans.
Also because how else are they gonna learn to scale walls?

For me, #1Password, ride or die.
You do you.
I'm firmly in the "#HostProof or GTFO" camp. No need to worry about cloud breaches if your master passphrase is sufficiently complex.
At some point, y'all are going to have to accept that the problem is not Ye, or Nick Fuentes, or Richard Spencer, or Tr*mp, or Elon, or DeDesantis, or Stephen Miller, or any of the n*zis, fascists, racists, or white supremacists.
The problem is the fact that you all *repeatedly* give these worst elements of society an outsized platform to speak on. Every element of US politics and society, from the electoral college to "rules of civility," are designed to give them more voice than Black folk.๐คท๐ฟโโ๏ธ

@GeePawHill I once worked on a web application project where we maintained a `humans.txt` file. https://humanstxt.org
Weeks the median male worker needed to work to afford a year's worth of major expenses (house, a car, health care and education) for a family of four in
1985: 30 weeks (out of 52)
2018: 53 weeks (out of 52)

@edyother @Liveotherwise @newtsoda "Overly cultivated concept of compassion."
"Pathological tendency to philosophize."
@Liveotherwise @newtsoda Before my #autism assessment I had been tested for personality disorders and I remember one of the results in the report was that I "may be too concerned with morality".
There has been a lot of research about autistics over the years, but this one really took the cake! ๐ฐ
Find out what happened when researchers attempted to compare the moral compass of autistic and non-autistic people... (1/2)

It's perfectly reasonable and possible for *both* of these statements to be true:
* it is better here than on Twitter
* this better *isn't good enough*
Federation and decentralization *as currently and inconsistently and idiosyncratically practiced* while better, are not good enough.
Digging in and saying that decentralization and federation *is* good enough is really, really unhelpful.
Also, the potential for better does not mean the practical experience is better.
