GCHR has published a rundown of recent arrests and crackdowns. This is *terrifying*. www.gc4hr.org/the-gulf-reg...

Many of y’all also count Ahmed Shihab-Eldin as a friend from way back in the Arab Spring days. He’s been arrested by Kuwait and held on undisclosed charges (likely related to Iran war coverage) for the past six weeks. This is horrible. x.com/dropsitenews...

In a rare turn of events, I actually agree with Ed Zitron on something: the AI companies are absolutely cribbing lines from the AI doomers, but spinning it as hype. I mean, many from both sides *are* from the LessWrong set, so… not even a horseshoe, really.

quick reminder that if you can see the explosion, the explosion can also see you and you should probably duck or at least not stand with your face plastered to the window filming it for instagram

evangelical protestants being wildly perturbed that the vicar of christ doesnt get into a twitter bitch fight like their favourite mega church scammer does is very funny

You act Scorpio coded or Fire sign coded with that revenge driven ideology.

this was demonstrated by attempts to make luigi mangione an early 20th century left-anarchist rather than a libertarian into LessWrong essays and “Uncle Ted” Kacynski.
