Mamdani is going to start an arms race of elected officials actually doing good things for their constituents. It's going to infuriate most Democrats who prefer to tell their voters to fuck off while texting for dollars.

Lambchop puppets w realistic human asses are here to stay. We need to stop fearmongering about these Lambchop puppet technologies and start finding the ways that their realistic human asses can be used ethically and to support our causes. This technology is inevitable. clickhole.com/latest-attac...

UC Berkeley Law creates new AI policy that bans AI for "conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit" or exams because "thinking remains the sine qua non of good lawyering (and of a quality legal education)." That's what I'm talking about.

My kingdom for a tech ecosystem that will stop smothering me with apps and devices that constantly try to engage me in conversation against my will

strangely most people do not want to go to space, a place that hates you and wants you to die this is both literal and metaphorical

Eric Schmidt really said, in his much-booed AI graduation speech, “if someone offers you a seat on the rocket ship, you do not ask which seat, you just get on.” Unbelievable

The tech sector's fall from grace should show us that the path to a more convivial life does not emerge from purchasing individual consumer technology. Those devices are build to alienate and isolate us. The "convenience" they promise just means "you do not have to meet and talk to others".

This has been another episode in our continuing series, “How Much Shit Will America Eat?”

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

Very true. In scientifically verified studies of pedagogy, study methods that FEEL effective are not (rereading highlighted text eg) while methods that feel harder actually are more effective (spaced recall eg)

What about this remix

Behave accordingly

vance is such a fucking asshole

I think the reason I've been a little ambiently mad all day is because January 6th rioters are statistically the most likely group of pedophiles in the world and they clubbed a guy to death and they're going to be rich from the tax money that I give to the country I live in.

Separating more than 100,000 children—including U.S. citizens—from their families is despicable. The trauma DHS's cruel, inhumane violence will have long lasting impact in our communities. DHS can’t be reformed. To protect our children, we must abolish ICE and dismantle DHS.

Years ago, the tech industry's goal was "Don't make users think." Now with AI, Silicon Valley's mantra is "Take away the users' capacity to think."

The fact that people are using AI to steal my writing, churn out a shittier version of it, falsely attribute it to someone more famous, and get more press coverage and sales for their book than I ever will is *chef’s kiss* pure 2026 energy

the president is raiding the treasury to put your tax dollars into this mans personal checking account as a reward for what hes doing in this picture

If I were the opposition party I'd be saying anyone involved in creating this corrupt scheme will be prosecuted but also anyone accepting payments from it will at minimum be required to pay back the full sum with interest

What is called AI today is, in some ways, the combination of big data, machine learning and the ideology of scaling. In this respect, AI is not merely a technology (that would be machine learning), but an assemblage of cultural, economical, infrastructural and ideological dimensions 3/

Sometimes NATO members have to “suck on this”

"in the future users will have agents that..." Bro, users can't even log in to their fucking email

The coolest thing about programming (not with LLMs, actually coding) is how close it is to spells. When you know how to code, the computer does what you tell it to. It's pleasing and beautiful. Chatbots take away that ability and skill, in totality forever, since they cannot follow instructions.

tech companies: AI is going to take your job, decide whom to target in future forever wars, supplant all human connection, and entrap the average voter in a funhouse mirror version of reality that will make them incapable of making rational decisions. also tech companies: Why so afraid of AI??

call me controversial and finicky, but if I buy a car, I don't think it reasonable that I have to learn how to "hack" it so it doesn't kill my family But that might just be me. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

Surely they've suffered enough?

“Use AI to brainstorm but not to write.” “Use AI to help you outline but not to write.” These are commonly proposed as “ethical” ways for undergrad students to use AI, but I’m sorry, brainstorming & outlining are just as integral to writing as the actual construction of sentences.

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

Modern technology could learn from older stuff that does what it's supposed to and doesn't bother you. My toilet just works and never sends me emails like "Good news! Flush® is now Floosh®"

Deepfakes are everywhere, but digital forensics investigators are fighting back. Learn more: https://scim.ag/42dMPBg

I have said this before and I will say it again, but it is my firm belief that given the blatant and naked corruption exhibited by some members of the Roberts Court, decisions of the Roberts Court should not be treated as precedentially binding on later courts.

It’s time.

i am tired of having to listen to dumb assholes just because they have a lot of money

Teachers: "Please help us get AI out of schools, it's ruining education!" Students: "Please don't make us use AI, it's ruining our lives!" Politicians: "We hear you and we want to help you harness the power of AI." #NihilismAndTechnology

I think my most capital C Conservative position is that 'edtech' is almost always an expensive con that distracts us from what we know works best in education and that there really is absolutely no harm in a classroom looking broadly the same as it did 20 years ago most of the time.

You remember last year when 500 South Korean battery production experts were kidnapped from a Hyundai plant in Georgia and mass-deported? This single act completely destroyed the willingness of foreign EV experts to work in the US to advance American battery and motor manufacturing. 7/x

Imagine a world where people who made money from music and art liked music and art, people who ran government liked government, people who invented machines to help do work liked and understood the work that needed doing, and what didn’t… Just a bit of fucking skin in the game.

Every day I watch the tech industry build The Boot On the Neck Of Humanity Machine and watch universities say “we are going to sustainably and ethically prepare our students to become innovators in The Boot On The Neck Of Humanity Machine space”

In order to be worthwhile for investors, AI companies need to simultaneously: - increase demand 100,000x - increase capacity to support that usage - make a profit instead of a loss on each token Which, well, lol.

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.

1 year ago today I was terminated by DOGE from USAID where I worked to get humanitarian aid into Gaza. Everyone I knew across almost 10 years of my career across 3 prior jobs became unemployed as well. My entire LinkedIn network suddenly became "open to work" I'm a one issue voter. Punishment.

We’ve got heads on sticks You’ve got ventriloquists The rats and the children follow me out of town Come on kids
