What’s interesting is that he performs the same disordered patterns he criticises. Selective evidence, closed causal stories, and a narrative that reinforces itself rather than opening to challenge. It’s the simulated VDA of disordered discourse I've written about before.

We’re watching a shift where AI simulates the cohesion and reinforcement that used to require an entire online community. A single person can now build a complete parallel reality with nothing more than a prompt window. Which seems bad.

Senator Schumer has failed to lead this party in one of its most critical moments, and Americans will pay the price. It’s time for him to step down from leadership and make way for a new generation willing to fight for the people instead of the powerful.

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

Chuck Schumer has long put his own personal agenda above the interests of his party, and it is time Democrats organize to remove him. From Ryan Cooper: trib.al/pBsNZ2S

"You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.” Fucking SAVAGE for him to invoke Mario Cuomo.

if you can't savor the villains losing you've lost the spark of beauty and ingenuity that makes life worth living

Our message to Andrew Cuomo was loud & clear in June. It’s louder & clearer tonight.

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

The people who think the government should be run like a business are killing something that has a 180% ROI. THAT is how you bankrupt a casino.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

I can't believe it turned out to be a bad idea to stuff a third of the internet into one building!

"I have a decent fluency in LLMs, and they have utility, but the absurd degree of over-hype, the way they're being forced on everyone, and the insistence on ignoring the many valid critiques about them make it very difficult to focus on legitimate uses where they might add value."

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

it's kinda weird that all the software i am expected to use for work are all written by distributed teams, go, python, postgres, linux, chrome, k8s etc and despite being told "the best teams work in an office together" i don't know of any software i use that's actually written that way

I’m gonna be real, I’ve officially started assuming that most video is AI generated unless I can trace it back to verified human being bc I don’t know how else to function on the internet now that that horrible app is out

Journalist here I’m interested in talking to a federal agency scientist who was fired, then rehired. I can keep you anonymous. I’m on Signal ginnyg.04 Reposts are appreciated!

Preliminary results show that the current framework of "AI" makes ppl less likely to help or seek help from other humans, or to seek to soothe conflict, and that people actively prefer that framework to any others, literally serving to make them more dependent on it.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.
