I was a bit turned off that the apartment I'm applying for needed three bank statements, three pay stubs, two forms of ID, a background check, a credit check, and a face scan. I nearly asked them if they needed an anal swab, too. But maybe they have a reason for asking. https://image.nostr.build/21f615b409dd434a0fc21c9f2d0174d920c64db64d2df9a9dbad4c2abdf5f7ac.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1152x1331&blurhash=%7BZF%7EU4E2D%25RPMxWBRjjY00%252x%5Dozt7j%5DoffkNGozjFkCkDaekCj%5B%7EpM%7BRkV%40Rjj%5DWBae4.xaxuj%5Dofflofj%5BxubbV%3Fbbbbaefkj%40WBWAo%23jZjYogayWB%25MWqRjaeWBWVfQj%5BD%25s%3As%3AkCogjZoLjt&x=644bd6d7ab067b045e8f9058b7a20cd490115b8fcdcb3325114e5b276d09e803

Sticks and stones can break your bones, but pixels can never hurt you. Greater dividends can be reaped from cultivating emotional resilience than from "regulating" AI (particularly for open-source AI, where any regulation is largely futile). https://image.nostr.build/836ddc915ba77b3cf0cbe4f8925f1ccb7dd3ac1a29ab144f0afb8ea1a0ec18e7.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=645x816&blurhash=_HM%40Q4M%7C_MNG_2%250X800xv%25gS4%252s9M%7C%25MkDofWXIoafRQ%3FwWYs%3As%3BIoWWRjtSo%23RPxaM%7Ba%7BWV00RjxZs%3Aa%7Bt7W%3BIVflt7oeofaef%2B%7EqRkWBayfkj%5BofxaWBxaflofofay&x=4d2672efb7b9695f1f64054571dde64871330f07cf4777fa48c8a6dce196612a

The Supreme Court has held that the federal government can imprison you for growing weed in your own backyard for your own personal consumption under the Interstate Commerce Clause (even though that isn't "interstate" or "commerce").

We need to reevaluate defamation. Courts are enforcing bankruptcy-inducing jury awards for speech wherein falsity and damages are decided by a mere preponderance of the evidence. IMO, ruinous awards should require more than "eh that statement was probably false."

There's a debate as to whether the 2011 Tuscaloosa–Birmingham tornado was an EF5 or a high-end EF4, but the distinction wasn't important for anyone in its path.
