Among the many evils of "crisis pregnancy centers": they are not medical providers and so do not follow HIPAA or medical privacy ethics. Instead, they gleefully give away (to right-wing orgs) and sell (to data brokers) all information you give them. They should be illegal.

All of the discourse around how the entirety of the French left banded together to defeat the right so why can’t the US do that miss the crucial fact that our society lacks a fundamental sense of solidarity that in fact partially defines French political culture 🫡 🗽 tres desole

We're on like the 4th consecutive empty tech cycle - "big data" then "crypto/blockchain" then "metaverse" now "A.I." - while a huge technological revolution that will change our entire economy in the form of solar energy and grid storage happens basically unnoticed in the background.

If they could get the llms efficiency on JUST language interpretation down and build ML algos for their specific use cases we'd have something actually useful That said, I still would not trust ML in any life or death situation which should be ANY patient's care

I think the problem is the large language aspect is really really helpful in evaluating user input (in that you no longer have to) but the rest of it sucks. You really need a traditional machine learning strategy with very targeted training data.

a probably unpopular opinion is that the escalating culture of leveraging bullying and victim-blaming to coerce people into voting for democrats has actually been an acceleration mechanism for fascist creep, and bears significant blame for where we are today.

While I’m sure some of this “we’re doomed” is spoken earnestly, I think a lot of people ascribe to doomerism because they feel like it’s the only way to get people motivated, when in reality it has the opposite effect.

And they want them to die where they won't have to see it. It's sad to see what's happened in San Francisco, a supposedly progressive city. It's tragic how many people there don't see unhoused people as human. They resent them for making them feel bad.

Way too many people think of community as "me and all of my friends helping each other." You will not always like everyone you are in community with. You will need to support them at times, and at other times you will have to rely on them. You will still not like them. Community isn't about like.
