this is exactly the kind of interaction @gruber.foo was talking about when he namedropped the merriam-webster twitter account in his blog post the other week
a month ago people were complaining about how adam conover should know better than to help advertise this event, and now that the event has come and gone the women who attended can’t be blamed for attending, don’t blame the victim, they’re just helpless, stupid women,
Aella’s $18,000 slutcon thingy where she and a crack team will coach you on sex
the people who make big scary warnings about how You Yes You are susceptible to being brainwashed by a chatbot are the same people who love to make big scary warnings about how You Yes You can be tricked into giving $50k to someone because you got a call on the telephone archive.is/BEBoP
A lot of people think they could never get conned and that they would never fall for AI chatbot reality distortion. Please here me now: YES YOU COULD. And the odds are stacking up against you. One of the more unsettling interviews I've done in a while.
willing to bet if someone creates a starter pack, puts you in it, and then blocks you, this option becomes unavailable

"In its decision, the Court found that the Democratic-led states that sued to block the order had not yet been harmed because it hadn’t been implemented yet, agreeing with the DOJ that the lower court issued the injunction prematurely. " alright
just a heads up: anyone who is mad at me is getting six figgies from third way
The "centrist" think tank Third Way is looking to pay someone between $140,000 and $150,000 to spend their days trying to dig up dirt on DSA members. They're trying to sell this gig as "anti-extremism" work, which I find completely disgusting.
I feel like even if you've only been paying attention to politics for the six years he's been in office, or even the two years for the current term, this shouldn't come as a surprise? what exactly has the media done that would lead anyone to believe they'd snub him, or worse, at events like this one
Wait. They all shake hands at the end? What are we even doing here? He's the US President suing you for $20 billion for reporting on the birthday card he sent his friend the pedophile in which he drew a naked girl & mused about secrets. And they all shake hands?
