    “When do we get to use guns?” he said as audience applauded. “How many elections are they going to steal before we kill them?” The local state rep, a Republican, called it a “fair” question. Never. We never use our guns to resolve political disagreements.

    While wokeism is going too far to the left, plain old racism is going even further to the right.

    Black jurors in the Ahmaud Arbery case could be struck if they answered—truthfully—that they believed the Confederate flag was a racist symbol. Unbelievable the question was even allowed to be asked. Unbelievable that this was considered a “race-neutral” reason to strike.

    Reminds me of my doc saying autophagy is a huge health tip, but there is no money in it, so it does not get research funding.

    AI may reduce the marginal cost of evil. A thread.

    The x-axis goes from “mild irritation” to “annihilation”. The y-axis goes from “one person” to “all humans”. In the bottom left, an AI paper clip is asking if you’re writing a letter. At the top left, a chess-playing AI is saying “Let’s ruin chess for everyone”. At the bottom right, a flying drone is killing one person. At the top right, an AI is launching a whole bunch of nuclear weapons all at once.
    How much damage can an evil AI do? Thread 🧵👇

    Amen! Sharing a meal is the best way to spend time with an old friend!

    7. What will Facebook do now? Their findings are only 2 years old, so they are not yet like Big Tobacco. For starters, how about two demonstrations of good faith: 1) stop the widespread use of Instagram by pre-teens, and 2) publicly renounce the plan for “Instagram for Kids”.
