This congressman could've been an email.

Okay. Trump has now contributed to losing us the AI race. All of the H1B Visa workers in our tech industry just found out they'd make more money working for China.

Excellent word creation.

Please don't let me die to a bullet with "OwO" carved into it. Literally any other death is preferred. Set me on fire, dump me in acid, just please don't let me go out to an OwO bullet. My mom asked what it means. Didn't have the heart. I just told her it was our generation's "Sic Sempar Tyranis".

Karl Popper described the "paradox of tolerance". But... I do not believe it is a paradox to be intolerant of intolerance. No more than its a paradox to use violence to stop the violent.

I think I might be a cynical optimist. I look at the most positive aspects of the worst case scenario. For example, every time a genocidal tyrant is overthrown, social progress takes a leap forward. So we can look forward to social change... You know... After we go full Nazi first.

At the intersection of not upgrading our power system, and not putting money into government computer research, America has already lost the AI race with China. We lost it years before Trump would put hands on the controls of the country. He didn't lose us this war. He's losing us the next ten wars.

@hankgreen.bsky.social I have a question. Why is it my bean appears to be as addicted to this device as I do?

Leaving Atlanta.

(being arrested) Them: you have the right to remain silent. Me: I plead the first amendment. Them: you mean the fifth? Me: no. The fifth is silence. I'm gonna say all kinds of shit.

Them: EVs burn fossil fuels to make the electricity. Me: Power companies are idiots for just having a bunch of V8 engines making electricity. Them: They use big turbines. Not V8 engines. Me: why? Them: they're more efficient. Me: they're what? Them: they're more efficient. Me: they're what?

Okay this may seem weird. But if you're going to buy something guitar related m best do it in the next month or two. Because the quality of everything is about to tank. We're about to see a quality desert in the United States that I do not believe has precedent.

Hypothetical question. I need your thoughts. Would JD Vance stand by while Donald Trump has sex with his wife?

Confidence is worse than foolishness because foolishness can't harm anyone if not acted upon. There is simply nothing worse than a confident fool. Double so for a confident fool with power.

Am I screaming internally? Or can you hear me?

OK it’s funny to flip the video of the Australian rocket failure. Haha they’re upside down. But when presented this way, it’s actually a fantastic, visceral demonstration of the power of gravity I’ve never seen before. Makes you feel the gravity well. I’d watch more launches like this.

The only thing AI can actually do, is to build a framework on which a better system can be built by better creators. The only thing investors in AI want it to do is to replace the better creators and lower the amount of money paid to humans.

The goal of the DNC is now, as always... How do we get progressive votes without actually having to support progressive policy? You know... I really can't help you with that. Now stop asking for donations.

I'm sorry. Did you say the sex scandal lady's name is "Jizz-Lane"?

Does @techconnectify.bsky.social have anything to say to @jacobgeller.com about the induction stove slander in the nebula only video on cooking he put out today?

You will never be thought of as smart until you are fully capable of saying I don't know. I can't even begin to express how true this is. Have you ever heard an AI say I don't know?

What does it mean to love someone?

I now see why Benedict Shapiro criticized Superman for being "woke" because of immigration... It's because he didn't want to admit that it's actually critical of something else he supports.

A cult will often use loyalty tests to 1) see if you can be trusted to be taken advantage of. And 2) increase the sunk cost in sunk cost fallacy. These typically involve having a person reject loved ones or renounce things they know to be true. The Epstein cover-up is a cult loyalty test.

I see a party. Social. A community that knows each other and its quirks. They are friends. They coming in front of a king. But there is no king. A false painting of a king that sits silently to avoid interfering with the community.

Oh no. The new Superman movie is getting terrible reviews. Ben Shapiro really didn't like it. In fact, all the worst people you know really hated it. Oh no.

Happy declaration day.

Conservative: define "woman" Me: It's a word we made up. Conservative: you think we made up"Woman"? Me: all words are made up. Every single one. Them:

I have a question. To what degree are you obligated to keep your mental illness from affecting others? We all agree that mental illness is not an excuse to harm others. But we also agree that no one should have to go through it alone. We demand understanding from others, but support? Maybe not.

If you want proof that God loves you, look no further than our ability to organize vibrations into sound and sound into music. If you want proof that God hates you, look no further than the fact that he put pain nerves in your teeth.

A statement proposed by the game Clair Obscur, that I think ought to be a question. Grief needs you to avoid escapism and face your pain immediately and fully, to avoid hurting others. I realize the creators likely don't intend this as a universal message. But it's hard to not feel pressured to it.

-KAVEH AKBAR

It's incredibly frustrating when conservatives think you are blindly devoted to politicians the way they are blindly devoted to politicians. And cannot comprehend that you might not be. Me: prosecute the Epstein list Them: Clinton is on there. Me: Yes. Him too. And Trump. Them: ... ... ...

Conspiracy theories only work when the believer doesn't understand the topic. You can't believe in flat earth if you understand how gravity works. So we should reframe it that way. "Oh, I see. You don't understand how archaeology works." Don't debunk the belief. Debunk the believer.

1/3 of NASA projects proposed to be cut. Including Juno. This is... Unfathomable. This is what the burning of Alexandria felt like.

I cannot describe the bad advice I got when my ex left. I can't describe the guilt that friends made me feel for not being over it. I can't describe the pain of not being what others said I ought to... Indifferent. This advice is painful. But genuine. Rare from this channel. But good.

Permission to use art to train AI is too hard to obtain. Trials for every person being sent to concentration camps is too hard. This administration can't stop bitching about how it's too hard to do the right thing, as though that's a justification for doing wrong things.

This cabinet would fail an open book citizenship test.

I just read a simple statement that I think needs to be stated out loud. "Disease is not the fault of the sick" And I just think that's a statement we should say more on conversations about mental health.

What if we judged a man, not on his power, but in the amount of cruelty he can tolerate? For me a good man can tolerate zero cruelty. I'm not there yet. But I hope to be. And a man who revels in cruelty is a bad man. Someone who wants people they don't like to suffer. That's the worst person.

I promise to never willingly look at the nonconsensual material made about you. I think this is something we should be able to honestly say.

Decided to let you know, in case you thought it was a good idea. I would like to not be represented by AI in court. Even after I'm dead, do not create an AI version of me to say things you think I might say. I promise I almost never think what people think I'm thinking.

Describing life under capitalism feels like cosmic horror. You're forced to find a place to be valuable, except many places of value have no actual value, only pretend value. And if you are unable to find a place or pretend, you are slowly and brutally killed. This could be a Twilight zone episode.

Weird selfie... I'm trying something new.
