Liberals DNI. Just kidding, I love you liberals. Don't block me just because I'm right
@Plebcouncilman @yuknowhokat orrrr, leftists realize that automation doesn't guarantee anything in terms of political arrangements and, having analyzed the structure and ideology of current LLM ownership, recognize that the dangers of expanding water consumption and GHG emissions are certain, the capacity for disinformation is immense, and the theoretical benefits are decades off, if they ever happen at all.

Scholars of right wing politics/economics: "All these right-wing thinkers are much more comfortable thinking about the blurred lines between sexual and economic politics than many thinkers on the left. And they understand that Keynesianism rests on a certain kind of sexual contract. Any challenge to this order—whether it be an escalation of wage or benefit claims, or the flight from sexual normativity, or unmarried women claiming welfare benefits—disrupts the fiscal and monetary calculus on which Keynesianism rests."

@Cyrus @bookstodon Which, that kids regrow fingertips? I can't verify it myself, but the book does provide a wealth of information showing how recent discoveries (and older, forgotten ones) make this a plausible thing for our bodies to do. The history of bioelectricity is fraught with con artists and fakers, but in this book I've found reason to think it's an idea whose time has come.

This is from "We Are Electric" by Sally Adee, which is all about the body's bioelectric code. Apparently electrical fields and electrical charges are the software to the hardware that is our DNA.
The fingertip regeneration was discovered by researchers investigating how salamanders regenerate limbs. Of course it's not something you can easily test, but there are enough people who grew up without easy access to medical care that this is a known fact.
