I don't think the point is "academics more so than other professions", but that "any marginalized people with a choice" are ditching FL. Having that sort of choice is more common among knowledge workers, thus the brain drain.
Florida being a shit place to live for many reasons, most of which (including your examples) are political. But it's hard to deny a governor criminalizing your identity is a major deterrent.
To flip it, this means that only AI which responsibly manages it's initial data set will be successful. Can't simply scrape and pray, need to have some level of vetting with input.
More labor intensive? Sure, but AI companies aren't entitled to quick and easy solutions they started with...
Even as a vegan, I'll say, robbing folks of autonomy over food is truly awful. Food holds deep cultural and psychological meanings.
I'd take a few folks eating meat less regularly (willingly, and seeing value in it) over any number of folks forced into vegetarianism.
It helps to reminder that at every turn fascism faces opposition. It's an unnatural and despicable trend seeding its own destruction.
People fought this, people will fight to reverse it, folks will make sure books get to kids. If you're in the area, it could be you.
And NYC is wildly over-policed.
I swear, some people have never met a societal problem they didn't want to throw a cop at. Meanwhile we have more cops and prisoners per Capita than most of the world, funny how that works...
Dangerous to think you're more media literate than you are.
Very common for reports or scientific articles, where a sharable link is not readily available. Take it up with the city council who received the report being slow. The claims are sourced, and that source is credible, that's what matters.
Aka, a website you don't know. Nola.com is a reputable local site, but that hardly matters here because the link is backing up a matter of public record— the previous FR ban was reversed.
It's funny, what representatives say publicly is indeed newsworthy. When such statements happen on Twitter, you link to Twitter. Shocking, I know.
Maybe you haven't read a news article before, but providing the opinions of both sides of an issue is common practice, so that the reader has context and can consider their own position
removing 1000 of the 2640 billionaires in a single project would be the most blessed timeline
To be more precise it is anti-US-imperialism and hegemony, which itself is a fine sentiment but when you're willing to let any right wing dictator lead that fight you've really lost any credibility as a leftist.
If the majority opinion meant anything here we'd be out of this mess. The USA is fundamentally undemocratic, barring the flavor of enemy we get to vote for.
Nuclear (+ renewables) powering walkable cities ftw.
Not even just for the climate, we'd probably cut asthma and a dozen cancer rates with the clean air.
To be clear I'm not saying there's no value to such improvements, but specifically want people to exercise caution in the realm of the hypothetical.
Rather, we should lift up actual evidence and voices of the people affected. If such disabled people are hard to find, that's a good reason to reframe. Sometimes the actual needs are much less hypothetical. Sometimes the hypothetical greatly overestimated the tech.
To root this discussion, maybe linking to paraplegic speaking on creative AI tools? Or similar examples of AI being used for a11y today which indicates this trend is realistic and a priority.
Instead of "people are too lazy", can we acknowledge how unnecessarily difficult it is to vote?
You dismiss gerrymandering, but we can't exactly vote in a district we're not a part of, or rely on convincing the biggest supporters to flip their politics.
Meanwhile, mostly targeting minorities, voting is made overly complex with people waiting for hours after work to be told they need a document or didn't register correctly.
No wonder only retirees in affluent areas vote, they're the only ones not jumping through hoops to do it. We need voting to be handled federally, with universal registration and mail in voting. Election day should be a holiday, and the polls should be open for a week.
THEN we can complain about people being too lazy.
