The Nazis rose to power legally. Every mechanism they used to take complete control was within the laws of the Weimar Republic. Once they got total power they didn’t give it up until millions were dead at their hands and parts of Germany were flattened.

March 1933 The Enabling Act becomes law in Germany, giving the chief executive power enforce his own laws without checks and balances. The passing of the Act marked the formal transition from democratic republic to totalitarian dictatorship. 6 months later, it was a 1 party state

this quote perfectly captures how coddled suburbanites are. they are a primary source of traffic driving into Manhattan! I live in Manhattan and don’t have a car and have to breathe your air pollution!

In 2024, "centrism" isn't cautious, it's reckless. It creates the conditions under which the radical racist right is surging. Fight the far right by redistributing ill-gotten gains of pandemic profiteers + polluters to pay for Green New Deal-style programs. That's pragmatic.

🚨 New Preprint 🚨 OpenAI says that the new GPT-4o model is carefully designed and evaluated to be safe and unbiased. But implicit biases often run deep and are harder to detect and remove than surface-level biases. In our preprint, we ask, are GPT-4o and other LLMs really unbiased? Details in the🧵 below!

Interesting research out now on revolving door and more career notes in #civictech (aka what academics now call “public interest tech”) and related realms. Presidential Innovation Fellows (PIF) program has highest rates on many civic evaluative criteria.

It seems like there are just endless bad ideas about how to use "AI". Here are some new ones courtesy of the UK government. ... and a short thread because there is so much awfulness in this one article. /1 ft.com/content/f2ae55bf-b9fa…
Screencap: "UK ministers are piloting the use of generative artificial intelligence to analyse responses to government consultations and write draft answers to parliamentary questions. Oliver Dowden, the deputy prime minister, will on Thursday unveil tools that the AI “crack squad” at the heart of Whitehall is trialling with a view to wider rollouts across central departments and public services."

We need new frames. This 2021 report from World Inequality Lab by Piketty and others is worth digging into: reversal of the education cleavage, where higher educated voters now support left-wing parties after historically supporting right-wing parties. wid.world/document/brahmin-l…

Very nice of @BrooklynSpoke from @TheWarOnCars to join @Streetfilms to chat about the #daylighting adjacent to the intersection near his kid's school on how it's good - but could even be better with physical elements to eliminate illegal parking. @OpenPlans @StreetsblogNYC
