Add another one to the list of hilarious examples of why generative AI doesn't produce correct answers, just statistically likely ones.

(Customers asked for how-to videos, which the company doesn't have. The AI chatbot decided that a million internet users linking to this video after similar requests couldn't be wrong.)

I'm sorry, I don't believe that anyone who has read regularly since childhood would still count Harry Potter as the best book they've ever read.

"If anything, it gave me a few moments of respite from the torrential flood of emotions and thoughts that rage through my head.

So, thanks."

"No... impossible! That spell should have driven you insane!" "Buddy, lookie here. I AM insane."

Something that keeps me up at night is the fact that, despite how much we all wish someone would just do it, that alone wouldn't save us.

These systems are intricate and built to be self perpetuating. We cannot dismantle them by removing whoever is running them at any given time. The gears will turn and more will always take their place. Like a hydra, it doesn't matter how many you remove, more will always come.

Liberation comes from the ground up. From replacing their systems. Which is much harder to fantasize about, because it means one person acting alone is not equipped to save us.

We have to act together.

Which means overcoming the decades of propaganda devised not only to divide us, but to make it outright dangerous for the most marginalized to organize with the privileged.

It means addressing internal biases and recognizing which parts of the machine we're helping to turn and learning how to stop.

And that's a much less satisfying power fantasy so instead we all just wish someone would do it. But what then? What happens next?

The Claims Adjuster made a dent. He sent a ripple that had tangible effects. But there was nothing to back it up. Nothing to keep what he started in motion. And now that effect is fading.

There's only one way out of this and it's a path none of us can walk alone. Either all of us will be free or none of us ever truly can be. Whether we like it or not, our fates are tied together.

each year congress people should be required to go on a field trip where they each get dumped in the middle of a random u.s. town & handed a phone with google maps & forced to find their way back to washington solely through the use of local public transportation systems.

to be clear i don't think this would improve our political reality in any way, but it would be fun to watch

So we can charge people protesting the likes of Cop City and ICE with domestic terrorism. But the man with a list full of Democrats to murder, and who we know visited the homes of other lawmakers, just gets murder and stalking charges? Interesting.

“When George Hornedo, 34, was still deciding whether to run in the Democratic primary for Indiana’s seventh congressional district against longtime incumbent André Carson, a party elder looked him in the eyes and said: “You are gonna get hurt.” Hornedo went home that day and posted a TikTok video recounting the encounter. According to him, it highlighted the reality of the Democratic party. “The people in charge don’t just fight Republicans, they fight anybody who challenges them,” Hornedo said. “That’s not democracy, that’s machine politics.””

‘They got us into this’: Indiana Democrat says party leaders cannot lead

It’s time to clean house. It’s time for the old guard who paved the way for all of this horror to retire, and make way for younger leaders who are ready and willing to fight against that same horror.

I say it all the time: these feckless, useless, conflict-averse, politicians are worse than Republicans because they don’t just ensure Republican policies are adopted, they block people who will fight to prevent those policies from being adopted in the first place.

David Hogg was right. Fuck the party power brokers who drove him out of the DNC because he threatened their gravy train.
