Getting my Yolk on in anticipation of next week

Morning reminder that War-io Amodei is no more opposed to using AI for surveillance or automated weapons systems than Sam Altman and that his only difference is pragmatic. His current stance is just virtue signalling for the purposes of advertising.

So vibes then.

Must be Claude's fault

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

Ranking of dumbest countries. 1. United States. End list.

Putting this on for my midday run . Liked the prior album. Vibey

@cptn-incredible.bsky.social alert!

Remembering some Indie Rock guys morning. I still love this album

AI agents do have a use!

Here is an annotated version of the Citrini Memo with my own intro. It is analyslop - scare-fiction written to ingratiate AI boosters and analysts/traders with tales of ultra-automation and socialist data center policies. Shameful that the markets reacted at all. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/1p1n0...

Well this story blew up. Went to the front page of reddit, hacker news, Gizmodo. People donated thousands of dollars to the legal fund of Jeff Sovern, who dismantled 13 Flock surveillance cameras. The response was near-universal enthusiasm for the project of smashing invasive, exploitative tech.

Only the best people

One of these days Karly is going to put out a straight country album and I am so here for it.

When you hit "random album" and get reminded of what indie sounded like 20 years ago and then get ready to cry

Matteo Mancuso is the Truth. See him when he's in your town

JRAD tonight was special. Love Marco. And Tom Hamilton is even more powerful with his hat off which I didn't think possible.

Stumping for a local band today

This flipturn reimagined tune is a bop

I read Gary Marcus 's much nicer dismissal of this Snake Oil Nonsense yesterday. It was good. But this one is much funnier

Back to listening to Guerilla Toss 2025 album. I'm a Panglossian Mannequin, what can I say

That the entire unregulated fake money market is ripe for corruption is the point of the fake money market.

No more serious paper of record in the A. The last line below.

What Clown College did this guy get his degree from. Also, no taxing billionaires I guess

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

AI boosters be like

Not an oligarchy

Even worse it's an administrative warrant

AI: Just power looms.

‼️This famous photo from the Minnesota Tribune on Jan. 21 is from this incident, involving at least three of the same agents from Alex Pretti's killing. Thanks to the people replying who tipped me off to this.

MELANIA has been nominated for Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Screenplay, and Best Cinematography in the FIFA Oscars

I say again, this does not even approach a scintilla of the accountability that is required. These are PR moves.
