I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

this guy's smart and he found it useful, what does that mean for the rest of us? well it's still blood soaked machinery you rent from fascists so it's not affecting my analysis really

i think enthusiastic LLM use is mostly a stack of cognitive biases, unacknowledged plagiarism, and unmet needs in a trenchcoat but also my main objections aren't about them being bad at tasks so i don't care if you think they've gotten better at it

🌞 SOL CESTO - FULL ANIMATED TRAILER 🌞 Sol Cesto 1.0 finally has a release date! Dive into the final version of our weird roguelite on April 10, 2026. We can’t wait for you to discover all the endings 👀 Please help us spread the word 🙌

I visit GoDaddy just once per year to manage some domains, and every time the experience is just worse. The site loads more slowly than ever, I am bombarded with "AI Opportunities" and design prompts, and I cant even update my payment info because the site gets an unknown error.

There you go. An overt technofascist Trump ally will now own CBS, CNN, HBO, Paramount, Warner Brothers, Discovery, and a big chunk of TikTok

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

I could write for days, months, years. I could read decades of sci-fi from the most annoying Golden Age authors. I could peruse the most cringe things on TikTok. And still, I could never come up with the deeply embarrassing things Sam Altman says on any given Tuesday

Happy Zelda 40th anniversary!

"Bedford Borough Council holds no authority over the Council of Nicaea and was not responsible for the creation of the moon 4.53billion years ago."

I was disappointed to read Cory Doctorow's post where he got weirdly defensive about his LLM use and started arguing with an imaginary foe. @tante.cc has a very thoughtful reply here: tante.cc/2026/02/20/a... A few further comments, 🧵>>

This article by @tante.cc is wonderful and will improve your day significantly.

A post so smart I'm almost afraid to share it. www.garbageday.email/p/the-only-t...

De forklarer aldri *hvordan* KI kan føre til bedre klimaløsninger. Her gjentar NRK ren propaganda fra de som vil blåse opp KI-bobla. Heldigvis har @ketanjoshi.co nettopp skrevet en rapport som avslører bløffen og som viser den åpenbare sannheten: Generativ KI er en klimaversting.

OKAY BIG ONE FOR YA NEW report out today: I dig deep into how big tech has been muddling tech types and overstating evidence to claim "AI" will make global emissions drop like a stone.... Not only will it not, it seems to be verifiably doing the opposite!! ketanjoshi.co/2026/02/17/b... + 📼+🧵>

What’s happening in America is technofascism. It could happen here Peter Thiel's data company is powering ICE operations in the US. In part 2 of the Nerve’s Palantir series, @carolecadwalla.bsky.social argues that the UK will be next - and we map Thiel’s network🧵 www.thenerve.news/p/technofasc...

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

The nazis raided and burned the first gender clinic. The Reagan revolution closed down most of the gender clinics in the US and left coverage uninsurable for decades. We've been here before. We'll get through just as we always have. With strength and resilience in community. They can't eradicate us.

The only surprise is they admit it

‪Don't love the wording of this - it feels a bit like saying ChatGPT is down, forcing news writers to take a long coffee break. It is a sign of things to come, though, if we don't change course: power and reliance on fewer and fewer superwealthy companies, that can squeeze you for all you have.

Siemens is pumping $1 billion into manufacturing fossil fuel infrastructure on the bet that power demand from ultra-inefficient text, image and video generation based off plagiarised internet content will grow massively in the future Gift link -->> www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/b...

this is pretty wild. good argument for lockdown mode if your threat model is one where you might have your phone seized by the Feds: www.404media.co/fbi-couldnt-...

There's so much rotten in the world. Rejoice for a moment that some justice has been won, that some heroes were saved by their peers. The world will only become better if we make it so. Justice for Palestine.

the $75 million Jeff Bezos set on fire for that Melania propaganda piece could have funded most independent newsrooms for literally decades

I'm not sure people appreciate quite what a blow to Starmer's government the acquittal of the Palestine Action protestors is. It both blows apart the whole proscription idea and demonstrates how out of touch they are. This was a jury. Juries represent the public.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Post says one-third of its staff across all departments, not just the newsroom, is being laid off.

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

bezos is simply following in the grand rich idiot tradition of gannett, advance publications, and many other private newspaper owners before him. he's merely wealthy enough to sink a more prestigious brand than the times-picayune

Most of the Washington Post’s tech reporters were laid off today, including me. I have loved my time at the paper, which is where I wanted to work from age 15. I take some consolation in not being among the survivors who will have to work harder with less for fewer readers. On to better things.

INBOX: Washington Post Ukraine Correspondent Lizzie Johnson announces that she has been laid off in the middle of a below-freezing war zone without power, heat, or running water.

"mmm i think it should be more like this" warps ass to be larger

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

This is old but I am still feeling this way up to this day.

Kansas just passed a monstrous bill enabling criminal penalties and vigilante lawsuits for trans people using the bathroom according to their gender identity and requires them to surrender their current drivers licenses and birth certificates if it does not match their sex assigned at birth.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Also you can still participate if you need more time :) share it whenever and bug me about it genuinely

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

i dont know if it matters but jd vance and stephen miller are getting absolutely fried on X re: ICE and Minneapolis. Even on their heavily rigged propaganda social media network what they are doing is wildly wildly unpopular
