training
You know which police department was nationally regarded as the most well trained PD in the country re: deescalation prior to 2020? Minneapolis.
Lack of training isn't the issue.
I say it elsewhere, that I have a difficult time identifying Ai generated text, for whatever reason. Ai pictures and voices, I can spot right away. But for whatever reason its not super apparent to me when people use ai to generate text, its more of an afterthought rather than something that stands out to me. Its interesting because I have an art and music background, but I dont have any formal training with writing, even though I do it quite often, and I'm a strong reader. It makes me uncomfortable that there's still some vector where they can trick me
Okay I agree and on second thought comparing Hunter Biden to Paulo Friere is, um, a stretch. I'm more responding to this trend where people say, oh you can tell its ai cuz there's em-dashes, or cuz it fits the pattern of "its this not that."
With a political subject, people can be very bad faith. Centrist Democrats calling argument a "whataboutism" or a Russian bot, are two very prescient examples. Meanwhile, I find this method of defining a subject in the positive and the negative to be very useful in political discussion, to define not just the essence but the contours/limits of a political subject. It is a good way to make a subject concrete. It makes me nervous to see these arguments more and more. People already accuse each other of being "bots" way too often.
If the algo detects you have left wing views, it sends you ultraleft conspiracy theory stuff. If the algo detects you're liberal or moderate, it sends you right wing punditry. That's why Bad Empanada is such a fucking maniac, its his job to be unhinged ultra, he plays a particular role in the hegemony, whether he does it intentionally or not.
All insta shows me is hotep content and conspiracy theories.
Tbh I can't really detect AI text. I can detect AI pictures and voices, but text fools me, so I'll take your word for it
Well in the interest of good faith, this is the most coherent thing ive ever seen from Hunter, so I think either had AI write it or some wonk wrote it for him
Incredible how "its not x its y" is being weaponized against critics of the establishment. Like, I really couldn't give a shit about Hunter Biden, he's a joke. Also fuck AI, I wouldn't defend it.
But what you're describing is a teaching method. Just because it gets aped by ai doesn't mean all comparisons are AI. Paulo Friere uses it heavily in his pedagogical method. It was also the name of a book series on teaching methods.. Both were written years, even decades, before the invention of generative text.
Its a basic way of explaining complicated concepts, where you not only have to describe what something is, but what it isn't. You are using a negating method by saying that the text of this tweet is actually not worth considering, because it was generated by AI. Its rhetorical sophistry, presented without evidence, to create confusion and cheapen people's ability to explain or understand complicated concepts, and criticize our own reality.
I dont agree with all of his points, but your argument is cheap and socially toxic.
Hunter is gonna run. Maybe not in 28, but he will run
if there is to be talk about philosophy, there should be less trifling with the label “atheism” (which reminds one of children, assuring everyone who is ready to listen to them that they are not afraid of the bogy man), and that instead the content of philosophy should be brought to the people.

The other day a mod on Hexbear told me that "now is the time for monsters" referred to "what we must become during the revolution." I was like no, its about old people

300+ hours in Nightreign, prob 200+ on one character: Executor. Generally, the worst character in the game. Low HP, low damage resistance, low damage except for status procs. If you go in unga bunga you will die, you will suck. Has a special ability called suncatcher that looks very flashy but itself does almost little damage.
So let's focus on his most important feature, arguably the most important gameplay mechanic in any soulsborne:
looks very flashy
Suncatcher is basically Sekiro playstyle. He has a cursed sword that can deflect all damage, with a satisfying clang and bright sparks, if timed near-perfectly. After 5 deflections, it lights up, and lets you do a golden sweep attack. Deflecting with Suncatcher builds up some stance damage, but the weapon itself did minimal damage on its own, even the flashy golden sweep.
His ultimate was a free heal that does a little damage but ever dark bosses and Deep of Night games would kill you easily despite being a giant horned beast. His ult has some utility, like healing other players when roaring with a certain relic. Synergies were found when using the seppuku skill with his special ability, but sacrificing a huge chunk of your health pool for a brief damage buff took a lot of situational awareness to make sure I didn't get ganked mid-buff, and it still happened frequently.
A lot of players use his high Arcane stat to proc statuses but dont really even use suncatcher. I myself became obsessed with it. Eventually I developed a "stance/status/tank" playstyle: after practicing with suncatcher for a long time I got pretty good at deflecting enemy attacks, and could hold off most bosses by myself while teammates did damage, or if one team member needed to go revive another. I learned that Executor's charge attacks are best after ive procced status a couple times. I could carry teams through the base bosses as long as both players weren't completely worthless.
But ultimately, the character had a high skill floor in order to become like a medium value character. It could be argued that his sekiro-deflect is too powerful, it has a generous "perfect" window, more than we got from Sekiro, but other characters were straight easy-mode. Raider has great damage resistance, a huge health pool, incredible DPS, and the ability to nullify attacks with his special poise-counter.
But last week, they buffed Executor. They buffed suncatcher immensely. It does more stance damage, it does significantly more damage, blocking uses less stamina, can't be stance broken with perfect deflects, and many atack up relics now apply to suncatcher. This character gained immense value. I was absolutely stuck in the new Deep of Night hard mode, I struggled to make any progress in depth 2, and while ive only played a single DoN match since the buff, we easily cleared it.
With a few relics, suncatcher can be made to be significantly stronger than even a legendary Katana, available at level 1. His HP and damage negation are still low, but he can't be stance broken on perfect deflects anymore, making him much more reliable and dependent on skillful deflecting rather than the enemy's attack spam.
I have become so powerful, it is intoxicating. Absolute incredible week for Executor mains

It's relevant information imo. The whole "separate the artist from the art" is such nonsense. The only people who want to separate the work from the people who create it want to get rich from somebody else's work. There is a dearth of surrealist art that is largely antifascist, but the only surrealist artist that most people are aware of is by a fascist who was rejected by the rest of the movement in his own time.
Art isn't just a picture or aesthetic experience, it is a relationship between the world and the people in it. You can look at art throughout history to understand culture, and culture is where people derive their sense of morals and truth. Fascism, by its nature, works to dissolve truth and culture into relations of naked exploitation. Dali was a good painter, but there's no shortage of principled criticisms about whether he was a great artist. So he doesn't objectively have amazing art. On the contrary, objectively, he was quite shallow and self-obsessed, and if art imitates life, what it is his art imitating -- the world around him, or the shallow and self obsessed artist himself? Perhaps that is the root of his fame, its incredible lack of substance promoted by a class that does not value substance, since substance is not a consideration in profit.
