The Open Letter to Stop 'Dangerous' AI Race Is a Huge Mess https://szmer.info/post/301607

Here we go again: Mastodon is not just for FOSS and Fediverse purists. If i want to post highlighting that I am also on other platforms, some you may not like or want to use - just scroll to the next post. Be accepting that people are in other places. Lecturing people and hassling people about being in places you don’t like is unhelpful notification noise and I will block people who keep doing it.

RIP E3

Get your mail-in ballots in today, Wisconsin!

Signed.

After the Supreme Court issued its Dobbs decision overruling Roe v Wade last year, each state was left to make and enforce its own abortion laws. Many red states had already put abortion “trigger” laws in place that would leap into effect the moment Roe was overturned, while many blue states rushed to pass additional protections to guarantee the right to abortion access.

Then there was Wisconsin, where a law essentially banning all elective abortion procedures has Democrats in the state fired up and ready to fight back. They get a big chance to do so next Tuesday. http://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/reproductive-freedom-democracy-wisconsin-court

I'm not sure who needs to hear this but you don't owe anyone on the internet your real name or a profile image that's a real photo of you.

I’m gonna take some sleep

Good night my dear friends 🤗

A good percentage of my friends are Nazis. That percentage is zero; that’s a good percentage of Nazi friends to have.

I said I'd logged off for the night but I'm logging back on to share the news that in less than 12 hours we hit $100,000 to support the Texas Observer team. Here's an update from @jamescanup (former fundraiser for TXO) on why we are increasing the goal to $200K in the hopes it will convince the board to keep our doors open.

We're so immensely grateful to everyone who has donated or shared already. 🤠https://www.gofundme.com/f/laid-off-texas-observer-journalists-and-staff
