We have also received messages from some states close to #Russia, saying that their representatives plan to be in #Moscow. An odd desire in these days. We do not recommend it"

"‘No one has done this in the wild’: study observes #AI replicate itself"

I find this article to be sensationalistic, but I agree there is a reckoning coming

People conjure dramatic scenarios like the movies, but I feel if AI does fuck us up, it will be according to the most boring and mundane of ways

My particular terror is turning all of #socialMedia into a wasteland of exquisite mechanized #psyop for #politics

Until such time, unplugging the damn things can work

#primaries tomorrow

#VOTE

get left #candidates in the general #election for November

if you don't vote in the primaries please don't complain the candidates suck!

it's everyone's job to show up in the primaries to get the candidates we want

it takes 1/10 the energy we see expended complaining on social media about sucky #democrats if everyone just showed up in the primaries

Always #vote folks. You won't get everything you want. But better over worse matters.

changing the world for the better doesn't mean a damn thing to them

there is no such thing as morality without action

and action is always messy in the real world

they can't handle that

so they choose the "purity" of doing nothing at all

There *is* something entitled to your vote:

Your society

You're not trans or an immigrant etc so Trump's malice doesn't threaten you

So you are privileged to play silly games like "teach dems a lesson" and allow your society to go to shit. Because it doesn't affect you (or you're too stupid to realize it affects you)

Centrist dems aren't listening to your "lesson." Not voting means you don't care

You have to show up and *replace* centrist dems in the primaries

i don't understand your complaint

"what if something bad happens"?

of course. there's numerous other scenarios where something can go wrong

or the centrist dem can straight up beat the leftist dem in the primary

and?

the simple point is:

if you vote, you may lose. if you don't vote, you *will* lose

nevermind that if leftists show the fuck up, their concerns will be addressed rather than ignored

no elected official cares about people who don't #vote

anyone who doesn't show up in the primaries, then complains the dem candidates suck, needs to shut up: they are the reason why the candidates suck

we show up in the #primaries and get 50 Mamdanis on the #ballot for the November #election
