Okay, folks. I’ve been asked by a lot of friends who aren’t following the AI discourse to sort of clarify what the main camps are arguing, how they approach the issues, etc. As a thoughtful observer, I’m happy to provide this orienting service. No questions or comments, please. Hope it helps!

Use Signal. You don’t have to use your own phone number now. To respect their privacy do not give it access to your contacts but adding them manually works just fine.

For the record, no one should joke here about "packing the court... with high explosives!" That would be in terrible taste and could be misconstrued. Surely we are all above this.

It's right there in the Pittsburgh Platform, the foundation of Reform Judaism from 1885, too. "We consider ourselves no longer a nation, but a religious community, and therefore expect neither a return to Palestine... nor the restoration of any of the laws concerning the Jewish state."

Forbidding people from wearing masks is not only unconscionable but also a violation of Jewish tradition.

Karen Bass just announced that LA is looking into a mask ban and it is a move that would essentially ban me from public life. I am humbly asking, if you are an LA resident, please call the mayors office and tell them about what it would do to those of us who have no choice but to mask for health.
