What I’m addressing is the pattern where powerful people commit repeated abuses against less powerful people, and their fans, friends, and enablers immediately seek unearned redemption and restoration of power for them while minimizing or excusing the damage done by them and denigrating anyone who has no interest in…

That’s all well and good for you, but I’m kinda living it.

Fair, but there’s a difference between an honest fuck up and being a serial abuser.

Good for her for speaking out.
It’s a good reminder Franco was a scuzzy abuser for a long time.
And while part of me respects his friends for continuing to be good friends rather than fair-weather opportunists who immediately threw him under the bus when he was no longer good for their optics, there’s are ways to do…

And Voltaire quotes an Italian proverb stating “the perfect is the enemy of good.”

There’s no good takes.

The accuser was quite open in his statement about being lucid afterwards when, if he had been drugged, he should have been barely able to stand, let alone drive and fully remember the incident. He should have been out for hours, not under a minute.
He and Takei have spoken since and he has apologized for the…

If we really want to get into what AI learning is about, why not have it figure out when speech has hate intended,

It wasn’t bullshit. But it also wasn’t clear-cut. Because life be like that.
