Only one of these is protected by law.

Being exempted for belonging to a special club is ass completely normal.

Being exempted because personal moral conviction despite not belonging to a special club: cool prohibited by law.

This is how USA has always worked.

Yes, humanists are now in the same camp with the amish and orthodox jews apparently.

Things don’t cease to exist just because there’s a german word for them.

Gotta be a religion to get privileged in USA. Reason and rationality get thrown out the window.

There’s no objective difference between religion and philosophy.

You should have seen me getting out of jury duty. Legendary sermon. They dismissed our whole group.

I would have preferred to talk about rational reasons to oppose the torture/gulag system, but unfortunately this enslaver state only privileges religious ideology.

Yep, a society based on privileging religion will support almost any wacky ideology that doesn’t oppose the state.

This is a large part of how we got here.

There’s no greater validation for an ideology than the state endorsing it as a religion. smh…

Imaginary religion gets exemption from imaginary technology within a society of religious privilege detached from reality.

Imagine working at Boston Dynamics and not seeing this coming.

Whatever keeps that DOD cash flowing… Shameful “science”.

Imagine believing that they need “AI” to record us.

It’s funny how the “AI-assisted” in the headline turns into an “LLM-assisted” in the article.

The graphic with the magic “AI” hand is even funnier.

Clown “AI” journalism.

If you think the title is bad, wait until you see the graphic of an imaginary “AI” hand.

They’re gonna stay disgustingly privileged while we continue to pay for it.

Three-quarters of these experts were men—a higher proportion than the actual AI talent pool, which is roughly 29 percent women.

They make the reader do the math here, because 25% vs 29% is not statistically significant.

the actual AI talent pool, which is roughly 29 percent women.

Curious how this was measured.
