Over at the Bad Place, I made a tradition of posting Douglass' "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth of July," and I intend to carry on that tradition here. Since most versions you read in classes or in textbooks have parts omitted, the link below has the full text of the speech.

No shame in feeling scared, overwhelmed and not knowing what to do. To me feeling one's feelings doesn't preclude taking action. These are confusing times. Give yourself some grace.

Okay so to be clear we are destroying power grids, the livelihoods of actual humans beings, and communication/research infrastructure for the sake of an algorithm that converts stolen data into unreliable stolen data and consistently loses millions of dollars. Just to be clear

I keep coming back to this about the current AI craze. 1. It attempts to create something that statistically resembles what an intelligent mind might say on the subject by statistically approximating such information. 2. The results will always be worse than the inputs. 3. It's hideously wasteful.

but now that meta is going to be using user-generated content (ugc) to train its ai and i'm seeing rome statute-like disclaimers trending on people's ig stories, do social media companies even want ugc anymore? is the endgame for all the content to be ai-generated? i genuinely don't understand

instead, if you're lucky, you sort of learn what the stock market is but it's still decontextualized from what goes into quantifying value. and i doubt the humanities part of economics is taught in business school. that said, i didn't go to school for fucking math or whatever katya z said

i read a thread yesterday (forget what social network) that mentioned the economist who created the gdp metric was highly critical of it because it doesn't give additional context about why the gdp is going up and it made me wish that more of us learned the humanities part of economics

i used to hate valentine’s day and all the sexist bullshit it comes with so vehemently as a teenager and young adult. but after a certain amount of time being unpartnered it kind of stops mattering. also you realize there are way worse things to hate than valentine’s day

This is the way. If low marriage rates are denying people the benefits of marriage, the answer is not coercing or shaming people into marriage--it's granting those benefits to support the many ways people do build community, stability, and family.
