@dansolomon.comi get that many of these fellas would really prefer to be a brain in a jar, and that probably colors how they think about it, but feelings are not just cognition where you think the words “i am sad” or “i am angry!” genuinely not sure how many of them know this
@dansolomon.comdoing somatic therapy several years ago made the “does ai have feelings” question ridiculous. it doesn’t. it can’t. it doesn’t have a body to feel them in
@dansolomon.commy ai hot take is that it is good if people who want to type slurs at claude get told that it’s not acceptable to do that and it will stop working if they do, but not because i care about claude in the slightest
@dansolomon.comthat’s not how you play
@dansolomon.comyou nailed it
@dansolomon.comjust had occasion to revisit this, which is still one of the more unhinged things @texasmonthly.bsky.social let me get away with writing www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

@dansolomon.comthere's no such thing as a failed execution. if the state needs her dead it can make her dead. the governor should have either immediately commuted her sentence or gone to the hospital to put a pillow over her face. everything else is torture and every justification now is so fucking dishonest

@dansolomon.comevery single part of this situation remains just completely baffling and nonsensical and so thoroughly, thoroughly dishonest and cruel
@dansolomon.comwhen missing posters go up, ken paxton takes them down when missing posters go up, ken paxton takes them down when missing posters go up, ken paxton takes them down when missing posters go up, ken paxton takes them down when missing posters go up, ken paxton takes them down when missing posters go u
@dansolomon.comweird thing to not have in an email program!!
@dansolomon.comin outlook, i know how to: get an ai summary of an email, how to get "viva insights," how to respond with a single emoji rather than with words, and how to send the email to teams or onenote i no longer know how to mark a message as unread or how to pin it to the top of my inbox
