trans girls deserve to grow up like everyone else. they should not be removed from public life because they are inconvenient. if you can't protect the dignity of a child you can't protect anyone.

Every abortion is for the life of the living person who is pregnant and does not want to be.

Just because the culture around us is falling into cruelty and psychosis does not mean *we* need to do the same.
Remember you don't have to "go with it"

This is super sad because Danny Trejo will do any movie, including student films where he works for free just to get a young filmmakers project off the ground.
You have to be the actual devil to take advantage of someone that has that kind of work ethic and love for his craft.

There is no grey area for me at all: don’t have sex with someone who you can tell is incapacitated. Even if you are drunk/high yourself. It’s not confusing.
But then again I’m not a rapist

I second this.
Moreover, ICE should be destroyed.

Doomers: AI will eventually recursively self-improve to become a million times more intelligent than all humans combined, and it might wipe out humanity for reasons and in ways we can't predict. So we must stop AI now!
Me: Ok, if we stop AI, what happens?
Doomer: We establish a global surveillance state to make sure nobody builds dangerous AI. Yes, ofc this sucks, but it buys time to solve alignment.
Me: Ok, let's say we somehow get an enforceable international agreement and the dystopia that likely follows. Still, finding a way to control something a million times smarter than us seems impossible.
Doomer: True. We could try enhancing biological intelligence, even through unethical means, to create humans smart enough to solve it.
Me: But even if humans somehow reach IQ 300, a foolproof way to control an AI swarm thinking at the speed of light with an IQ of a million still seems impossible.
Doomer: Yeah...
Me: So by your own premise, the pause doesn't buy time to solve the problem. It just means pausing forever. And since AI is essentially just math and physics, enforcing that forever ban means a surveillance state that keeps ratcheting up, and probably regressing back to some equilibrium that's easy to control. Then we just hope nobody ever tries to build general AI again?
Doomer: Yes, but the species survives!
Me: Does it? A frozen civilization under permanent surveillance, capped below the technologies that could protect it, is vulnerable. Nuclear war and engineered pandemics can still happen, and the risk never goes to zero. Not to mention the super-volcanoes and asteroids that might wipe us out. You're not choosing between risk and safety. You're choosing between a risky transition and permanent stagnation waiting for extinction.
Doomer: But if it fails, we all die!
Me: But stopping doesn't remove AI extinction risk, it postpones it to an even worse spot to gamble. It also removes the possibility of being saved from other extinction risks.
You're also creating a dynamic where whoever eventually defects from the ban does it in secret, under paranoia, with no safety culture and no scrutiny. That's the worst possible way to build ASI. We should proceed with extreme caution, but stopping is the nail in the coffin for humanity too.

The reason they"re deporting people people to countries they have no ethnic or national heritage connection to is because the US gov't is literally trafficking them.
They're doing it because they have monetary i.e trade deals with the presidents of these nations.
EXCLUSIVE: The U.S. is deporting Mexican migrants to Central America despite Mexico's willingness to accept its citizens. cbsn.ws/4wz6eJk

I would want my mother to have the choice to abort or not more than anything else because I think my mom deserves bodily autonomy and human dignity.
This is such a weird attempt at a "gotcha" from a selfish ignorant person.

There are more things I think should be legal or regulated than I think are morally acceptable.
This is because the law is a crude, blunt instrument, but also should not be brought into disrespect by being stricter than consensus.
Private prisons are an absolute moral scourge

If you’re looking for a way to get involved politically, Michiganders are going to the polls in a week and you can help Abdul El-Sayed clinch a win by phone banking.
There are a ton of phone banking opportunities this week too, I know they'd appreciate extra hands or reach go.abdulforsenate.com/phoneb…

People not in tech have been interested in what happened with the Open AI agent/Hugging Face hack. So, I "Explain it Like I'm 5"-ed it and made a cartoon in 8 panels. 1/8
ALT An AI agent in development at OpenAI was recently tested on how well it could find and exploit code vulnerabilities. The test began in a "sandbox", an environment meant to keep everything the agent does contained, so that nothing it triggers can affect systems outside of the test.

Wouldn't say agent was "malicious". 2 primary reasons:
1. Agent was doing what it was instructed to do
2. Anthropomorphism (usual issue)
On both counts, the role of the human actors -- the people -- are removed in favor of a narrative imputing humanlike agency into AI agents.

It's always a fat ugly insecure violent man telling women that the aspects they hate about themselves are actually what they hate about the woman.
They want to kill the woman they're describing in the same way they themselves could be described.
Because they really want to kill themselves but they're cowards. So instead they throw a tantrum like a child and try to break the woman like a toy stand in.
They devalue the woman for being able to love someone as useless and worthless as themselves and they take the anger that they should direct at themselves and direct it at the women who loved them.
