We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas
@MattWalshBlog What most people don’t realize is the same people are also in the Republican Party as well. Your local officials would replace you in a heartbeat, and they’re trying to
While I get Governor Abbott’s point, no permits, no city, rules matter, I wonder if he’s seeing the root cause…
You import millions from places where “permits” don’t exist, government runs on bribes, and you build whatever you can get away with. Then we act surprised when they do the same in Texas?
This isn’t mainly a permitting problem. It’s a “who we’re importing” problem.
Fix the border filter and most of these headaches disappear.
Everything else is just mopping the floor while the faucet’s still wide open.
What am I missing?
@johnsmithyson0 Latinos have more pride and in-group preference to whatever country their grandparents came from, even if they themselves are mostly Anglo and were born in the USA. So no, they aren’t “basically white”
@Sandy1Texas Insane bc if we had a “Christian heritage month”, everyone would freak out. It’s one thing to call for an ethnic resolution designation but a theological one is purely for conquest
@JoeTalkShow These numbers account for the creation of MUD and other special districts, because voter approved rates are capped at 3.5% and value increases are capped at 10%.
Basically, your stats aren’t showing increasing rates, but rather development in Texas municipalities
@NDRepublicans America had only 2-4% of the total slave population in the total slave trade and somehow the U.S. is the big bad wolf compared to Africans who sold their brothers and sisters for profit?
@mehdirhasan It shouldn’t be a national holiday. It should be a local holiday for Houston and Galveston, TX. Make a real holiday then for African Americans
@SmorglesBord “After I finished my undergrad”. So, an undergrad in India isn’t the same as in America btw. They actually get “diplomas” (only 2-4 years school) not “degrees” (4-6 years school in USA). Then, the masters programs are largely bullshit and are largely used to import more Indians
@Mary_is_Queen Even the whitest passing Latinos will have a higher affinity and loyalty for the Latin country they didn’t grow up in than that of the United States.
@thisisnew_me1 Boomers will in one breath say “we need to subsidize x” but then complain that x is too unaffordable. Especially housing, in which they are all too happy to try and sell their house for 10x but wonder why their children can’t afford homes
