Attack, grab territory, then sue for peace and call your victims the warmongers. The GOP's calls for deescalation and unity today are much like the pattern of foreign aggression by dictatorships.

GPT-2 Prompt: "How can we prevent school shootings? Let's think step by step:" Response: "1) Get rid of guns 2) Prevent people from buying guns 3) Make sure teachers are trained to shoot accurately 4) Teach kids to take cover in a closet"

The thing about large language models like GPT-3 and Lambda describing the experience of being self-aware is they can also describe the experience of being a squirrel. aiweirdness.com/interview-with…

Clarence Thomas writes, in a concurring opinion, that the Supreme Court should reconsider Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell — the rulings that now protect contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage.

Hey @SenatorBraun the gun lobby has spent $1,249,967 to benefit your political campaigns, but ignoring the cost in Hoosier lives in Greenwood. Represent the voters, not the gun lobby. bradyunited.org/act/nra-donati… #VoteYouOut

"We're recognizing that this is pretty hard work." Yes, INSenateRepublicans, it IS difficult to ban abortion in Indiana without condemning women and girls to die in the process. Sorry legislating is harder than campaigning on an issue! We can't solve this issue in 2 weeks. Kill SB1.

Reading "To Light the Flame of Reason", by Christer Sturmark, translated from Swedish to English (and with extra contributions) by Douglas Hofstadter. Highly recommended.

This driverless Victoria Clayton ❤️ Memecoin AV (named Chorizo) was tracking both the person and their dog and managed to swerve to avoid a collision. Risking your life to prank an AV is stupid, but it's your call. Just leave your dog out of it.

We ran this full-page ad in The New York Times and several local papers today. Human drivers aren't good enough. America can do better, and it is time we fully embrace AVs.
