NEW: After fighting to keep emails between Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s office and billionaire Elon Musk’s companies secret, officials have released nearly 1,400 pages of documents to The Texas Newsroom. All but about 200 pages are blacked out.

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Altman is saying over and over "we can't generate the obscene amounts of power required by generative AI" and everyone's pointing and laughing and saying "he thinks Dyson Spheres are real! he thinks you can make electrons!"

Paul Ingrassia, who got caught texting about his “Nazi streak,” is now being tied to attempts to thwart the investigation of his former client, self-proclaimed misogynist and accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate. We're investigating to uncover the FULL truth of Ingrassia's indiscretions.

To the contrary, the laws of thermodynamics are one of the most serious real-world constraints on AI.

We're in federal court today challenging President Trump's illegal use of the Alien Enemies Act to send Venezuelans to a brutal El Salvador prison with no due process. Everyone deserves their day in court. This administration's actions are cruel and unlawful.

One could even argue that by spreading the idea that he was talking about literal electrons, which he clearly wasn't, YOU are spreading disinformation. But you are going to subtweet me with something childish for saying that, aren't you?

LARRY SUMMERS RESIGNS FROM OPENAI BOARD AMID EPSTEIN DISCLOSURES Larry Summers, former U.S. Treasury Secretary and ex-Harvard president, has stepped down from the OpenAI board, Axios reported. The move comes after newly released emails and texts from the Jeffrey Epstein

We know these situations. Who wins if our hands are tied? "ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions. Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her."

Wow

Hello @ec.europa.eu , or whoever is responsible for enforcing the rules, X's AI, Grok, is denying the Holocaust. Holocaust denial is illegal in France. Please don't make an exception when it comes to a billionaire, as usual. Please take concrete and firm action against this cruel disinformation.

Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

People have largely tried to act like ICE/CBP failed and retreated from LA and that is completely untrue. If it weren’t for the relentless coverage of places like @lataco.bsky.social these stories would be completely under the radar.

I legitimately think none of them have read it, that the first MAGA FBI guy who opened the "Every day really was another wonderful secret" evidence folder visibly aged twenty years and went 90% nonverbal and now they treat it like the Ark of the Covenant

This is so gross. One of the reasons I’m childfree is hatred of watching youth sports, so I can’t even imagine the rage I would feel over being forced to subscribe to this shit instead of getting like a clip of my kid’s one decent play from another parent.

If indicative of the mood across SWFs and institutional investors, this feels like it's an important story on.ft.com/3X53iVF

OMG, so I'm watching Johnson's powerpoint (it's floorcharts), and 1) @c-span.bsky.social couldn't even split his speech, it's just a WALL of text, instead of a paragraph of every few minutes, and I'm from the south and talk fast and did debate, but damn

When Evanston found out that Flock was breaking the terms of the contract, & was sharing data with other departments, that then shared the data with ICE, Evanston immediately put covers over the cameras & left them covered while they cancelled the contract & they were removed

Court blocks Texas redistricting, finding it likely unconstitutional, with DOJ largely to blame. Pam Bondi is doing … one might say … a heckuva job.

Excited for the next Oakeshott lectures, to be delivered by a teenage gamer who uses the n-word & makes memes about the Holocaust.

To default at trial for refusing to respond to questions about why you replaced your lawyers with randos who weren’t admitted in the jurisdiction…it’s close to sovereign citizen behavior, and I can only assume Byrne (who is a crypto nut) will soon be busy hiding his assets bsky.app/profile/saba...

Powerful piece from High Country News about how heavy metal, culture and community are helping Blackfeet teens carry each other through grief and toward hope. If you care about music, youth mental health and Indigenous voices, this is absolutely worth your time. www.hcn.org/issues/57-11...

US construction of factories & other manufacturing structures inched down to the lowest levels in nearly two years in official data released today Construction is down roughly 8.6% over the last year as CHIPS Act projects complete and tariffs weigh on manufacturing investment

Ai Corp CDS spreads is what’s gonna kill the ai rollout, my take. Market signaling no appetite for the projects. Nobody’s gonna buy your debt (or will, but at Ccc rates…) to build another datacenter if your CDS is >100bps. Even at 60-80 it’s dicey

I think one of the underappreciated races on “people need to run for these jobs” lists is state bar associations. Every state should see a slate of “we are going to sanction and disbar with a VENGEANCE” candidates in the next few yrs. (You know this is why Bondi’s bro ran for the DC Bar Assn.)

if dems win congress next year they need to introduce an impeachment resolution against emil bove

Everyone's missing potentially the most interesting thing about this order, which is the judge's finding that Halligan may have returned an indictment that was never presented to the jury

"The fact that JD Vance has openly cited Curtis Yarvin as an inspiration and that Thiel is the person most responsible for creating Vance as a politician should be viewed as a national emergency." My comments to @thorbenson.bsky.social madness.ghost.io/we-need-to-t...

"$100k in credit card debt" is itself absolutely fucking crazy to me as someone who regularly represented poor people getting sued for like $600

“The Securities and Exchange Commission announced Nov. 17 that it will not respond to most no-action requests this proxy season.” Mixed feelings about this. 14a-8 needs reform, but not reforming it and pretending we did undermines rule of law. www.pionline.com/rules-regula...

I know we're in a unprecedented moment of conservatives handwaving away adult attraction to minors but, to throw one more thing on the pile, the company American conservatism has thrown all their weight behind producing products that engage in discussions of kink w/ children is just too on the nose.

“Hodgson, the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office alleged, was drunk at the Yard House restaurant on Long Beach’s waterfront, where a woman saw him in the women’s restroom, his gun and ammunition clip visible. He quickly put the weapon in his waistband… and ask[ed] her on a date.”

The lack of accountability for the torture lawyers helped bring us to this moment.

I need white women to be clear that men of color who perpetrate sexual misconduct against women are more likely to target women of color because the way white supremacy is setup, it’s not nearly as safe for them to target white women
