Get fuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked

“This isn’t going to stop,” Allen told the New York Times. “Art is dead, dude. It’s over. A.I. won. Humans lost.”

"But I still want to get paid for it."

Not that anybody asked, but I think it's important to understand how shame and guilt actually work before you try to use it for good.

It's a necessary emotion. There are reasons we have it. It makes everything so. much. worse. when you use it wrong.

Shame and guilt are DE-motivators. They are meant to stop behavior, not promote it. You cannot, ever, in any meaningful way, guilt someone into doing good. You can only shame them into not doing bad.

Let's say you're a parent and your kid is having issues.

Swearing in class? Shame could work. You want them to stop it. Keep it in proportion, and it might help. (KEEP IT IN PROPORTION!!!)

Not doing their homework? NO! STOP! NO NOT DO THAT! EVER! EVER! EVER! You want them to start to do their homework. Shaming them will have to opposite effect! You have demotivated them! They will double down on NOT doing it. Not because they are being oppositional, but because that's what shame does!

You can't guilt people into building better habits, being more successful, or getting more involved. That requires encouragement. You need to motivate for that stuff!

If you want it in a simple phrase:

You can shame someone out of being a bad person, but you can't shame them into being a good person.

It was nice to see this put so clearly. This election cycle has left me exhausted and demotivated, and this hits it square on the head.

I wish it was like tv. The judge would say "and presumably smacking your client on the ass..."

NEW: In a sidebar today, Judge Merchan directed Trump's attorneys to tell him to stop "cursing audibly" and "shaking his head," which could intimidate the witness and affect the jury. "I won't tolerate that," Merchan said. (via Kaitlan Collins, CNN)

Was just think about the ‘bounty’ as equivalent to IMF loans, etc. Han was packing heat to protect himself from a threat to his existence, just like all the AES having to defend themselves from imperialist plots.

Only problem?

I don't know what it should be about.

Is there anything we really need as a community, the ML community?

I just want it to be kinda useful, you know?

From the article:

Mayor Brandon Johnson‘s office said they were informed of the University of Chicago Police Department’s intention to dismantle the encampment early Tuesday morning and reached out to “reiterate serious safety and operational concerns about this plan.”

In an updated statement released Tuesday afternoon, the mayor’s office said University police requested Chicago police’s assistance but CPD “expressed an unwillingness to participate.”

University police “ultimately decided to move forward with the removal independently,” according to the mayor’s office.

Damn, even Mayor Brandon Johnson can't get them to stop and I like that guy.

Can someone come collect their granddad he's talking shit again

studying your enemies is how you win.

Beating up Nazis and taking their wallets and seeing how many bank accounts you can drain by just trying the PIN 1488 on every one.

Police took 2 minutes to find the "living" one, as he did not harm the relics, he was not arrested or charged but only given a criticism, and outfit was confiscated.

Dudes rock moment?
