@clientassist2_2 @SouthwestAir who are these jokers

[don quixote draper @sirsammc]

@SouthwestAir thanks for doing this to my wife’s suitcase I guess

Sorry we didn’t notice it before leaving the airport and couldn’t make it back to tell you in person within 24 hours. Great policy there. I’m sure it saves you from plenty of scammers as well as families arriving home stressed out to handle emergencies

@crousselle After posting this I finally resolved the question of his identity. Pray for the repose of Jessie Starr, killed 4/16/1953 by the state of Georgia

I can't stop thinking about Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, who was a prisoner in the Soviet gulag between 1947 and 1952. He had no pen and paper because anything written would be confiscated and read by guards, so he composed a 7,000-line autobiographical poem (The Trail) entirely in his head while using matchsticks and a rosary as mnemonic tools. That's how badly people have needed stories to survive the unsurvivable. Why does it feel like we're several generations deep into deciding that need is optional?

@carman_tessa Have you read the material on this from August Lamm?

Bibs are useless. May I present the humble smock. Daddy tshirt held snug around the neck with a clothespin. That’s it

[Romy @Romy_Holland]

@webdevMason yeah and even the bibs with the big pocket somehow don’t catch all of the food and it ends up all over his legs and stomach and collar. like am i supposed to get him naked first? am i supposed to change his clothes multiple times a day?

I’ve had enough. It’s “foreword” and “afterword,” not “forward” and “afterward.” Get a grip people

@IVMiles Miles, was anyone in the 1860s drawing parallels from the US civil war to the contemporary consolidations of Germany and Italy? Something like a “renegotiation of nationhood” going on?

[don quixote draper @sirsammc]

@scott_scharl @Thinkwert tacky!

@5h4wn4 Saw it from the highway. do you have a picture? It’s not a building burning?

[don quixote draper @sirsammc]

y’all are missing his garbage chart. you have to look at it. Six “steps.” Meaningless graphs with “moralization level” as the y-axis. “Modal” in place of “moral” in one spot.

Revoke this man’s degree. he’s not using it

Ask a colleague why they refuse to use AI. They say it uses up all that water. You point out the water use is far smaller than some would have them believe. Then it's the hallucinations. You mention accuracy has improved dramatically. Then, finally: the process is the point. The struggle. The craft. The deeply human act of sitting with uncertainty.

They're not reasoning. They're rationalizing their gut intuitions. My amazing student @vicoldemburgo, with Éloïse Côté, Reem Ayad, @yorl, Jason Plaks and I have a new preprint that explores this more thoroughly, called "The Moralization of Artificial Intelligence".

We started by asking how moralized AI has become in public discourse. Analyzing 69,890 news headlines from 2018 to 2024, we found that AI was moralized at levels comparable to GMOs and vaccines, technologies whose moral opposition has been studied for decades. It ranked above both. The sharpest spike came within weeks of ChatGPT's launch in late 2022.

When we surveyed representative samples of Americans, a majority of AI opponents said their views wouldn't change even if AI proved safe and beneficial. That's consequence insensitivity, the hallmark of moral conviction, not practical calculation. Across art, chatbots, legal tools, and romantic companions, AI moralization loaded onto a single latent factor. A global moral stance, dressed up in whatever practical language is available.

The behavioral data make this concrete: a one standard deviation increase in moralization scores predicted a 42% drop in actual AI usage, even when it would have benefited that person personally. The conviction preceded the behavior by up to 573 days.

The next time someone gives you three different reasons to oppose AI, each one dissolving under mild scrutiny, you're probably not watching someone think. You're watching someone feel.

@CTMathewes @maggiemphillips @PolicyWorkshop3 ah, Cathy’s link above is the source for this

[don quixote draper @sirsammc]

@CTMathewes @maggiemphillips @PolicyWorkshop3 yes, someone on here claimed recently that Poppy Bush was having a laugh at the John Birch society guys and made it his own quirky tennis serve joke, which Rubio has unwittingly taken seriously
