I don’t care what great policy they are pushing. Find someone that isn’t a rapist that has the same policy position. It’s not hard.

Mike Rowe, the guy who got famous for being a "reality" TV persona? That's a real job?

I mean, this would be the most McConnell thing

Someone will steal this line I suppose. But it will always be hers.

what is wild is we're supposed to get all butthurt about air conditioning for humans but be ok about air conditioning for nvidia gpus

“I have done all of the things that one is supposed to do to earn a tenure-track position. And I have done approximately 85% of them by typing prompts into a large language model and then moderately editing the output.” 🤣🤣🤣 brilliant 👌🏽 open.substack.com/pub/inprepar...

We've now reached the point where China has a free market with multiple competitors and the US has a government permission system for selling products. Amazing

you people need to show more respect for the political machinery that lost to donald trump twice

detective: you're a sick son of a bitch, you know it? that bird was your friend of 10, 12 years and you drop a big fuckin boulder on him. wile e. coyote: i swear to god man i didn't think it was gonna work. it never works. oh god. detective: nevada's a death penalty state.

Humanity's ability to know, reason, judge, and act well is the foundation of science, democracy, crisis response, & management of AI itself. AI poses serious risks to that foundation. New paper on epistemic risks by 30 experts calls for attention and proposes solutions. Link in thread.

Remember when Biden met with a doctor who specialized in Parkinsons like 8 times because he was working on some Parkinsons initiative and the NYT was like BIDEN HAS PARKINSONS anyway

Have actually been considering jumping back to an iPhone (not a pro model) because of the shitshow that is Google's jamming of AI into everything. This may have solidified that decision - I *don't* want AI in everything! Yes, give me a second class experience, please.

'In a preliminary MIT Media Lab study, 83% of participants who wrote essays using ChatGPT couldn’t quote a single sentence from what they’d submitted moments earlier.'

Weird I wonder why more professors aren’t giving money to the party whose stated aim is to destroy American universities.

Serial killer says being caught and put in prison wouldn't help the average American

yes of course we expect authors to check every citation what the fuck are you talking about

Gerontocracy is how I still occasionally see people talk about AOC being too "young" and "inexperienced" for a presidential run despite the fact that in 2028 she will be 39 and have spent a quarter of that life as a US congressional member sitting on 5 different oversight and finance committees.

not just anecdote! "graduates in the least-exposed quintile—studying subjects such as education, philosophy...—saw their avg full-time employment rate fall by just 1.5%. Those in the most exposed quintile—including computer science, computer engineering and information science—suffered a 6.6% drop.”

read the article making this argument and it just reinforced the 3d printing analogy. the industry hype with AI is 100x larger, but the pattern was a similar "this is going to change humanity" to "this is going to revolutionize specific industries" to "this will be a fun hobby for eccentrics"

I’m sorry but “everyone is going to use AI to code their own apps” sounds like “everyone is going to learn HTML and code their own websites.“ like … have you met people? no they’re not

If you cancel your subscription to Raytheon's Missile of the Month club before you make your first selection, you get to keep your ten introductory missiles for a penny, and then you can use your buddy's address to sign up again and get another ten missiles for just one cent!

It’s a grim observation, but here it is: if Party A plays for only half of the votes, and Party B plays for all of the votes, then Party A’s voters will be more loyal, more motivated, and easier to please with policy. Party B needs every election to be a wave election. Party A doesn’t.

the severe misread of youth by ai prophets is that at 22 you’re starving for agency. all your life you’ve waited to call your own shots. the idea that what you get instead is “tell the machine to draw a horse” is inherently offensive

I've been seeing a lot of posts about this as if IU has been "collaborating" on this type of thing - rest assured, we've gone full fash over here on our own (really started kicking off pre-current regime, full force now), thank you

Edtech giant Instructure was hacked (twice) — and finally put up a security incident page after the mass-defacement of Canvas school login pages. But you might not find the page because right now it has a "noindex" tag in the page's HTML code, which prevents it from being listed in search results.

How did the “deep cuts” happen? Are any political leaders or political parties responsible for them? If so, might it be worth mentioning this? www.nytimes.com/2026/05/06/c...

This statement is meant to be left-punching, but notice that the most popular left-wing candidates (Bernie, Mamdani, AOC) are superb at plain-spokenness, and it is the moderate wing that usually offers language that has been optimized and focus-grouped to death

German SPD, Greens, and Linke will stop posting on X. An important step and signal. X and its owner have long become a megaphone for the far right, a venue that is actively used to encourage abuse and violence. It‘s simply shameful how many in politics, media, and academia still actively post there.

inspired by a post I saw on here and have since lost, I've started reading "AI companies" as "cigarette manufacturers," so something like this becomes "maker of Newports backs bill to fund smoking literacy in schools"

I mean, considering how horribly invasive starlings are, by saving it?

I find it incredibly telling when men like Dawkins are convinced that the LLMs are ‘intelligent’ because it ‘agrees’ with them or tells them how insightful or clever they are

(I make a "mouth" with the side of my hand and draw little eyes above it) Richard Dawkins: hmmmm (I put lipstick around the "mouth") Richard Dawkins, suavely: well hello

“It will not be AI in government. It’s going to be AI as governments.”

Shame on anyone who thought it wouldn't go this far.

Friendly reminder that it is easy to drop Prime (detaching from *all* Amazon services is.. difficult given AWS + Internet). I was a Prime member from pretty much the beginning and dropped it about 2 days after I saw Jeff B at the inauguration. It is *freeing* to not take part in that any longer.

It’s the 250th year of American independence, and the Pope and the King of England are reminding Americans of their revolutionary values, principles, and ideals Somewhere, John Adams is confused as fuck

Your periodic reminder that if you ask "frontier models" questions about something you actually know something about, you'll quickly realize that they're completely full of shit.
