Hot take: I know the edgy techno-left position on copyright is "intellectual property is property" but it's pretty lame for the techno-left to accept the narrative of capitalists abolishing the only type of property that can be produced by something everyone inherently owns, and no other property.

"Signal would exit the French market before it would comply with this law as written" Meredith Whittaker @meredithmeredith.bsky.social, President of Signal @signal.org

Yet somehow this obvious fact escapes the gaze of the American press

The Rich benefit way more from: - the infrastructure - stability - military - the existence of a country than the average citizen. Why should they pay the tax at the same % as the average citizen? 95% tax on highest earners.

Another leftist political take proven right over the liberal political take.

Claude: I fixed your code! Also Claude: *strategically omits 2,000 lines where all your actual problems are*

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

if you can look at what the US did to the kurds and still find a way to trust the US you are a fucking moron

Here's how some politicians spent their weekends in the backdrop of fascism: ✊ Jill Stein organized "Fight The Rich" conference together with Workers Strike Back 💪 Bernie Sanders launched nationwide anti-oligarchy tour ✨ Kamala Harris signed up for Hollywood talent agency

I might switch from Claude back to OpenAI tooling. Claude served me well but Anthropic is falling behind. - April 2024 cutoff date on info - Great at coding, but reasoning models caught up at this point - Too limited token count in Sonnet - And minor stuff like lacking image/TTS/video gen etc

I had Influenza A for the past 10 days and it absolutely wrecked havoc in my household. 41°C fever, coughing blood, migraines, vomiting - we had it all. Is this year's flu strain on some sort of steroids or are our immunities completely f*cked since COVID?

Crypto grifters: Pivot to AI grifting.

X: Nazi app Tesla: Nazi car

new from me: Elon Musk's X appears to be blocking links to directly contact users on Signal Signal, the encrypted messaging app, has recently become a major tool for government workers looking to blow the whistle on DOGE

Breaking News | An Israeli sniper has shot and killed a 15-year old child in central Gaza's Al-Buraij Camp. The boy was reportedly trying to inspect his family home in an area from which the Israeli military recently withdrew.

the neoliberal era is *obviously* over and has been for a minute. you can stop calling things "the ultimate in internalization of the neoliberal order" or whatever now.

I love how every conservative argument at any point someone moved the Overton Window further right in the last 40 years is: "No matter what you think of the [insane policy or person], you should all agree that [an even insaner policy or person] is normal"

As pathetic as Elon is, and as depressing as this sounds for the US, this isn't unprecedented. The tide will turn. Sooner than you think. Tesla sales, Trump's dumbass crypto tokens' prices should give you an idea how popular they are. But more importantly, history tells us conservatism never works.

ADL, probably: "He didn't actually mean that"

Remarkable lol

The few million Elon will save from government's science & weather administrations will be nicely compensated by the $1b aid to Israel. Congrats, you've been duped again.

I think countries around the world should levy tariffs specifically on Tesla in response to US tariffs, as well as banning Twitter as a national security threat driving a wedge between our co-dictators may be the most effective thing they can do

Claude is down. Yesterday DeepSeek was down. Last week it was OpenAI.

DeepSeek finally reached early 20s thoughts when you text with a crush

Love to see UNESCO talking about “UBS” now. While I’ve never used that term, I’ve long disagreed with the idea of UBI on the grounds that the market will just adjust prices to retain the same kinds of barriers to access we see now. This is a foil to that. en.unesco.org/inclusivepol...

Leftists have been incredibly skeptical of AI, and one thing they quoted often was how a day of 20 ChatGPT queries were equivalent to 30 mins of AC usage. I wonder if DeepSeek being 33x more efficient would change their mind.

I'm so happy I found some people on Bluesky that actually understands where this is going.

Dear anti-AI movement, you want to actually effectively fight large corps like "Open"AI, etc. and burst their centralized AI-bubble? Stop being copyrightoids (as that just helps these large corps) and start supporting locally running open source LLMs like Deepseek R1.

This is a big announcement. There will be a TON of gov't subsidies. OpenAI had no moat because open source models like DeepSeek R1 are beating OpenAI's expensive o1 (and doing it faster too). Now with an unprecedented government subsidy, OpenAI will finally have a moat: compute power. Thing is,

Leftists already know this but libs are not ready for the massive political price they're about to pay after crushing the left organization over the last 5 years (especially students in the last 2 years) Things will go to shit incredibly fast, and all the fight energy is vacuumed out.

Btw Free Palestine

nominally “liberal” mainstream media is now running cover for an out and about fascist. these are dark times we are living in and we truly cannot rely on these fascist sympathizers anymore

this is the neworktimesiest headline that has ever headlined

The ADL is a right-wing extremist org.

Yeah

Leftists warned ADL's fascist tendencies almost a decade ago. And they were proven right once again.

Have the mass resignations started at the ADL?

Revisionist Zionism

A Chinese firm released an o1 equivalent reasoning model at a 3% price of o1. And we're talking about the nerdlarping nazi.

Fwiw, this is what they call a "narrative violation".

"The Nazi salute I did while funding the neo-Nazi party in Germany & agreeing with Nazi accounts on Twitter was actually an art performance on how woke the left has become"

As a Leftist, I've championed and fought for crypto for years. It's a way to democratize access to financial tools that the exploitative banking and finance industry gatekeeps from you. However, watching oligarchs and institutions co-op crypto has me wanting to sell and never look back.

Scientists are shocked to find levels of gifting previously thought impossible.

I know tech leaders embracing the incel groomer racist persona is the hot trend, but I've never expected it from Vitalik

Another Musk-boosted misinformation spreads to 4M duped viewers, meanwhile...

Libs deserve all the humiliation from left & right, down & up, from all discovered & undiscovered dimensions. They were wrong every step of the way. - They appealed to right (they lost) - They said left & Muslim vote wouldn't matter (it did) - They said Trump would destroy Gaza more (he didn't)
