I think it's good for footage of executions to be released publically, but I must confess as well that the idea of livestreaming this seems a bit uncouth.

My issue is that, narratively, gender-swapped Draco Malfoy doesn't make any sense as a love interest for Harry.
There is definitely a male fantasy that a nice lady will fall in love with you for no reason at all, because girls and boys falling in love with each other is just a thing that happens naturally, no further explaination required. It took me until I was about 20 years old to realize that this isn't true. A lot of the stories you linked come off as quite juvenile. I suppose it functions as decent romance slop for teenagers.

You don't think autonomous drones, designed and incentivized to mimck soldiers, would form a hivemind?

They can become janitors too. Knowing complex analysis doesn't make one unable to clean toilets.

Running inference on data centers is a contingent and temporary state of affairs. At a minimum, autonomous weapons will have locally-running AI to protect against jamming.

That doesn't solve the problem. No one will be able to figure out how to bring people back from the dead without AI anyways.

"Tomorrow morning, is she going to wish she didn't do this?" I think is the question they should have asked themselves, and I think it was foreseeable that this would be a wise question to consider.

Polite society has been adding epicycles to the consent-alone (solus consensus?) model of sexual ethics for decades: People under 18 cannot consent. People under the influence of drugs cannot consent. People who are subordinate in a power hierarchy cannot consent. None of these really made any sense in the solus consensus framework, but jettisoning consent as the one true guiding light of sexual ethics would open up LGBT relationships to scrutiny, and that would be considered unconsionable.
Given the reaction to the Cornell incident, I think society is finally ready to start looking for alternative ethical models. Everyone has now seen the moons of Jupiter so to speak.

Very few bad things show up in the aggregate death statistics. In Israel, 2023 had less deaths than 2021, 2022, 2024, or 2025. Are we to conclude that October 7th was fake, or that it was no big deal?

Even Paxton’s estranged wife encourages people to vote for him.
This is an actual ad that I just saw on Sunday Night Football. The message is, "our candidates suck this year, but uh, we still need you to vote for us I guess."

My guess: In 2020 mail-in voting was huge because of the pandemic. In 2022 there was still likely a desire to "do it how we did last time" which resulted in a still-elevated level of mail-in voting. By now we have returned to the new baseline.
I will also say that I have not been impressed with the Paxton campaign in Texas. Both candidates are calling each other pedophile protectors. At least one Talarico ad used the phrase, "Epstein-style sweetheart deal," when describing Paxton's record as attorney general. Paxton is mainly attacking Talarico on trans stuff instead of the economy, and that's letting Democrats take the mantle of lowering prices.

It was not in the course of organizing prostitution-based social activities. It was on the application form for plzdontkillus, an AI safety "content creator" bootcamp.
I mean, will it be allowed on YouTube? Will Alphabet let the US Government upload cinematically shot HD footage of liter after liter of blood gushing out of a gasping human pincushion? Is it going to be aired on Fox News?
