"You like both me and... Jesse Singal?" Fuuucckkkk. I would not have a good time processing that.
@bstacey I believe the collective noun for neorationalists is "cesspool"

If I were invited to this conference, I would have an intense "your approval fills me with shame" moment.

I am so proud @Paulatics is part of my government!! Thank you for talking about this huge issue! This is such an excellent speech, and I hope this makes some sort of difference (as I'm pulling my hair out trying to help write responses to Reflect Orbital's horrifying FCC proposal for space mirrors)

Also, this speech means that I'm officially recognized by the Canadian Senate as a goat farmer and orbital dynamics expert. That's right up there with having an asteroid named after me!

How about if you let qualified educators decide what is fundamental, Mr Lawyer/Politician Shapiro?

Saw an article about someone pushing vibe coding on their kids, and I'm incandescently angry now. We know for an actual fact that these things are wildly unethical, and at the same time, we barely understand the impact that they have on our brains. Turning your kid into an uncontrolled science experiment for the benefit of a few clicks is beyond disgusting.
who called it an AI girlfriend and not “slop! in the name of love”
Today in Stories Of The Resistance, the kid told me about his class where the substitute teacher was left a fifty minute AI-generated video going through the planned lesson, and when they started playing it, a kid got out of his seat and walked up and said, "No," turned it off and they had a tutorial hour where everyone just did their homework.
