In classrooms and public events and private conversations, my campus regularly facilitates discussion (often heated) about the virtues and dangers of capitalism and Marxism and every economic theory you can think of, about human rights and AI and abortion access and data centers and civil wars and genocide and myriad other subjects of •extreme• controversy.
We do not, however, make space for and amplify people who believe the Earth is flat, because that would be a f***ing waste of time.

I stepped in the elevator - a colleague on the phone:

Me: which game?
Him: "Baldurs Gate 3"
Me: stepping out, "omg! I still need to finish it!"

This. The conversations are incredibly fraught. I hear this over and over
.. and also, the flip side. Anyone who finds it useful tends to find the need to keep it hush-hush on the fediverse. It's really preventing the "how do we steer" harm-avoiding conversations from happening. The net result is that only the careless touch the stuff. It’s not a good time.
The common thinking in the US is that Trump either blundered his way into the Iran war or was goaded into it by Benjamin Netanyahu.
There’s a bit of truth to the second idea and a lot to the first.
But it’s MBS and the leader of the UAE along with other gulf princes who are really Trump’s guys,
much more than Benjamin Netanyahu.
The way the Trump White House has interwoven US security,
money and geopolitics with them runs much deeper.

RE: https://dair-community.social/@timnitGebru/116332667717903322
I really think that we _are_ starting to build those tools. I'm party to a lot of discussions about how to use these tools well, and a lot of that starts to look like systems design: what are controls? What are the feedback loops? Where do we need to add new frictions? Where do we need to eliminate old bottlenecks?
We are still very, _very_ early in this.
But the work is getting done, and a lot of us 'haters' need to get in the drivers seat and start putting up useful critique like mttaggart's. I don't agree with the entire article, but it's solid work and solid case report. It’s very good stuff. We need a lot more of these conversations.
And we need to let people hate it. Not to be confused with obstinate blocking, but to have the feelings of hating it, of disliking the processes it engenders, of finding those new footings — or rejecting the bad ones. We can't look at this clearly unless we have the space to hate it.
