my god look at this - they played an invisible woman to hide their deeds (T2), then an Electro (T3) to afford a Modok a turn early (T4), then a Nick Fury to stack their deck with sixes (T5), then T6 MODOK razes them all and Hela brings them back (along with an unspent Black Cat).

That’s Adeline Kane.

We’re out of continuity in this miniseries. But if you read her flashback story in ‘The Judas Contract’ and had… questions about her career, WALLER VS WILDSTORM is for you.

@RottenInDenmark I am trying to get you to explain your position specifically on the Reed allegations. It's not a trap. I take it you find the entire affidavit ludicrous. Do you think, if it somehow proved to be true, it would indicate a serious problem?

@attackerman ("Spencer Ackerman") replied to a tweet by @attackerman:

1. @jfornes74 is unbeatable, I can’t believe I’m lucky enough to have him establishing the book’s vibe with covers like these.

2. Yes, that’s Deathblow, yes Deathblow is in WALLER VS WILDSTORM, yes I love those Jim/Brandon/Tim Sale (RIP) books

3. Who’s that white woman? Well,

The trans panic is indistinguishable from a conspiracy theory. We're supposed to believe that thousands of parents and medical professionals are advising irreversible medical procedures for children with no caution or forethought.

This (whole thread) + the attendant quetsion:
Why are some people (some you may know!) so ready to believe that anecdotal tragedies (which surely do happen in some cases) indicate a mass epidemic in this particular case, when there's no sign or plausibility beyond anecdote?

Some of us are gonna be beating this drum for a long time. And it probably won't work.

But what I've been thinking about this week is how these ai tools are already in danger of receiving more empathy than some living breathing humans are afforded.

I cannot tell you how much the things we call AI are not intelligent, or sentient, or alive. They don't have will, or agency, or desire. They don't have hopes, dreams, fears, wants, or needs.

They are sophisticated word scramble generators. I am begging you to see this.

It will still have to be figured out how to train such an LLM, but I have a hunch that it could be overcome relatively easily. We've figured it out with kids. First we follow the steps with them, then we teach them not to say the steps aloud, but do it in their head. /10
