#Biden fucked us all royally by not assuming emergency powers after #Jan6 coup attempt and by not restoring the balance to #SCOTUS after #Republicans stole at least 2 seats.

A coup attempt is exactly the sort of situation when a candidate who had just won an election can flex their muscle, but Biden was busy #virtueSignaling instead

Good AI, Bad AI: How to Distinguish Between a Good Idea That Challenges Real Problems and a Bad Idea That Only Virtue Signals

We are currently watching the internet tear itself apart over the metaphysical dread of artificial intelligence, resulting in marginalized groups cannibalizing each other for social credit. By tracing the historical blueprints of respectability politics and legal copyright infringement, this essay provides a functional, actionable framework to escape the doomism. It is a necessary structural guide to separating the human utility of AI from the exploitative nature of the tech industry.

From now on, anyone that comes at me over AI gets a facefull of Teddy Ruxpin. 👿

I'm #curious about something...
I've been getting a fair amount of #connection #requests here on #Mastodon from people on the far far far left, and almost none from the right, or the far right, or even the far far right.
Now, I'm pretty clear (or so I think, anyway) that I do not care to associate with extremists from either side.
#Fiscally, I'm #conservative - in the sense that I don't believe we should spend money we don't have.
#Regarding #people, I'm pretty #center-of-the-road, maybe #leaning a bit #left. I believe that everyone, regardless of their choices (or not-choices), should have the same rights as everyone else, and be able to live in peace, as long as they're not causing direct harm to anyone else.
I am, therefore, confused as to why people whose default mode of #communication involves #NameCalling, #VirtueSignaling, #condmenation of #otherism, and #looking for #fights would want to connect with me. I do not wish to associate with people who only wish to further divide this country with their #shortsighted #selfimportant #diatribe and #hatemongering .
If I have ideas that are different from theirs, or try to ask questions about their stance and point of view, all that will happen is they will turn around and block me, then report me for doing <InsertEvilThingHere> when all I was doing was clarifying their position so I know how to continue consideration of their position.
It's happened far too many times in the past.
Fist off, #Folks, #Mastodon isn't #Birdsite or #Twitter. Your hate-filled rants really don't belong here, in my opinion. That's what #Twitter and #FaceBook and #Instagram are for.
This is supposed to be a place where ideas can be exchanged, discussed, and mulled without fear of condemnation - where someone isn't attacked for their thoughts, or for asking questions.
There's a Mister Badger (with a number after it) who is an example of this. This person's obvious hatred of anyone who isn't as far Left (I believe they call it "progressive", but that's for another post and another time) as they are is palpably obvious based on their posts. I'm NOT that far left, (not even close) and would almost certainly be grouped in with Nazis and Klansjerks by this person.
So why did they reach out with a connection request? I don't know. Maybe they're looking for a new victim to browbeat so they can feel morally superior? Maybe they think that if I see enough hatred of <insert any group here> I'll start to feel the same? (That's the same tactic used by WS groups, Nazis, and the Klan, by the way...)
I'm just unsure of the motives, there, and that's why I rejected that connection. I've rejected others for similar reasons.
Perhaps I need to re-visit my profile and make it clear that I don't support hate, no matter which side of which aisle it comes from.

The other day someone shared this interview with us, we heard it before and it resonates strongly with what we've seen in #Australia too.

She even talks about the #individualism and yes, #virtueSignaling and the #stenographers of power in the #forcedNews #legacyMedia.
