@bintalshamsa@twitter.com @TheRaDR@twitter.com Absolutely. I often remind people that there's a reason that particularly on the East Coast major cities had ethnic neighborhoods, Jewish Irish Polish etc. All of those people were not considered white until their utility was needed from WASPs in power. Only then were they White.

"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?

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)
