AI models suck slightly less at math than they did last year www.theregister.com/2026/02/26/a...

Not unlike the dreadnaught factory. Not unlike Boring bricks. Not unlike Roadster. Not unlike Tesla Phone. Not unlike Hyperloop. Not unlike ICBM passenger flights. Not unlike Martian colony. /fin

Robotaxi works best for #$TSLA as a perpetual future product. It loses value if it becomes a current product. Not unlike Cybertruck. Not unlike Solar Roof. Not unlike Optimus. Not unlike Semi. Not unlike battery swap stations. Not unlike self-delivering cars. Not unlike Cyberquad. Not unlike 4680. /1

ParaWarner SkyDiscovery sounds like a terrible outcome for the industry, consumers, and democracy. Looking on the bright side, nobody owns Warner Bros. for very long. www.cnbc.com/2026/02/26/w...

i always thought my dad had been a good one but now i’m realizing he didn’t even buy me ONE entertainment conglomerate and i am livid

Content will get worse, audiences will disappear, new media companies will arise to take their place. Fabled brands get ruined all the time when they turn into anti-populist propaganda shops.

Clinton: It then got at the end quite unusual because I started being asked about UFOs and a series of questions about Pizzagate. One of the most vile bogus conspiracy theories that was propagated on the internet.

1. Make payments dongle for iPhone 2. Expand into a bunch of payments-related stuff 3. Crypto! 4. Uh-oh, sad face 5. Layoffs, blame AI, stock up 20% 6. Yay!

Apparently a good way to get the stock price to go up if your stock price has fallen by 75% in 5 years is to slash the workforce nearly in half and say it's because AI is changing everything. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

math is woke, obviously

Latest ORCA benchmarks are out and they provided us an early glimpse. Surprise, LLMs are still not that good at math, getting a C grade. However, most have gotten better since last time, with the exception of Grok, which slipped slightly: www.theregister.com/2026/02/26/a...

He has so many casually devastating lyrics about being an adult. I was just punched in the stomach by “Slip Slidin’ Away” earlier this week. We work our jobs Collect our pay Believe we're gliding down the highway When in fact we're slip slidin' away Shit, man.

The Teamsters’ support of Trump is paying off for more and more truck drivers every day.

"A Gallup poll last year found 40% of American women, ages 15-44, would like to permanently move overseas, if possible. By comparison, in 2023, the same pollster found that a slightly smaller proportion of sub-Saharan Africans—37%—wished to do the same." www.wsj.com/us-news/amer...

Nvidia hasn't made a cent in China lately - and might not need to given $120 billion profit

If AI causes massive unemployment, we will have a depression, thus no one will be able to pay for AI services, and the AI companies, which have huge debts, will go bankrupt. So, as seems to be common these days, all of this is nonsense.

Come say hi to me!

CEOs are using AI as an excuse to fire / not hire. AI isn't the 'reason' in most cases

Good time to rewatch Borat. In among all the clowning it’s good to remember he was clowning on real people with repellent beliefs for large parts of that movie.

I’ve experienced a small and relatively harmless version of this when people I’m acquainted with, not realizing that I have a Jewish last name, use antisemitic slurs as a casual insult in regular conservations.

DEMOCRATS IN POWER: We would love to be able to do nice things to help you, really we would, but the institutions! They must be respected! TRUMP ADMIN, HAVING JUST HAD THEIR TARRIFFS RULED ILLEGAL BY SUPREME COURT: Fuck it, Tariffs 2: Electric Boogaloo. Enjoy your new sales tax, poors!

Trump illegally imposed billions in tariffs (taxes) on U.S. corporations. Much of those costs were passed onto consumers. The corporations might get their money back. You never will.

This is a really embarrassing mistake for the @nytimes.com to make. I expect it from random blogs and entertainment reporters or whatever, but... the Times has staff who know better.

Great post by @masnick.com here. “…the “free speech” grift was never about protecting individuals from the state. It was about protecting a specific type of speaker from the social consequences of their speech.” www.theunpopulist.net/p/what-are-h...

New — This was projected on the US Institute of Peace building this evening ahead of the first meeting tomorrow of Trump’s farcically-named “Board of Peace.” Photo taken by person who was over there tonight. Unclear who’s behind the projection.

First the Washington Post gutted its climate desk. Now its editorial board is cheerleading for Trump’s biggest and most dangerous climate rollback. My latest for Climate-Colored Goggles: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/jeff-bezos...

the president of my alma mater canceled all the diversity scholarships bc of this and I showed up at a fancy event he had in Georgetown and got in his face about it and told him this is how it would end up pretty sure he just wanted to do it anyway

I had a section on that, but elided it because it would have ended up being quite lengthy and it's actually worthy of its own piece. But yes, that's a huge part of the cause as well. The crux of it is, platforms that prey on kids are made by people who prey on people.

Thank you. My one comment is that we need to consider the personalities of Sam Altman and Elon Musk in this analysis. We have allowed people of terrible character to control large parts of our lives.

It is a vile scandal that 2 of the biggest AI companies in the world attack children by inciting them to self-harm, and by generating sexually exploitative imagery of kids for profit. I wanted to document this so that people in tech will stop saying they don't know: www.anildash.com/2026/02/18/t...

The second Dr Strange. That was when it became clear that Disney was killing the Marvel goose and eating it.

It is 1996. The American president was born in 1946. It is 2006. The American president was born in 1946. It is 2016. The American president was born in 1946. It is 2026. The American president was born in 1946.
