Obligatory End of the Year post
2011 was weird. Stuff happened. A lot of people were awesome, and some people were hurtful scumbags. I carried a chip on my shoulder far too long and let too many people live rent free in my head and heart for even longer. Then I gave myself an attitude adjustment.

UN Hearing On AI Rights
jephjacques:
The subject of this debate is whether AIs are “people-” whether they possess the same degree of personhood as humans, and whether that entitles them to the same rights.

Where there are differences, there is a current. A motion. Where there is movement there is more hope for change than in mere words. #AntiShock is slow careful...

Myth # 1: This bill does not codify indefinite detention
It simply cannot be any clearer within the confines of the English language that this bill codifies the power of indefinite detention. It expressly empowers the President — with regard to anyone accused of the acts in section (b) – to detain them “without trial until the end of the hostilities.” That is the very...
