My favorite thing about arguments like this is presumably Andreessen wants us to remember and internalize his point. Despite the fact that he is arguing against things like “remembering” and “internalizing.”

If an AI is going to rip off a few dozen things I wrote, at least I have the small consolation that the Trump government will not be using it.

RIP Dan Simmons. Hyperion taught me not to be _too_ sad about my children getting older.

I'm glad the ACLU is suing Kansas over their anti-trans laws--makes me happy there's a Shadowrun Humble Bundle raising money for them! And it has a crapton of great PDFs, also. www.humblebundle.com/books/shadow...

Lots of options from my high school, but I'll go with Charlton Heston.

Ted commits a basic violation of game night etiquette--when you pick the game, you don't get to complain that you don't like the game.

Trump is a real-estate tycoon. His whole career was based on hyping a property enough to make people believe it was worth more than it was before, or more than it should be. The fact that it worked sometimes led to one of his central beliefs: Enough hype can shape reality.

Document I'm working on confused "stumping" in the political sense with "stomping," and I am here for it. Give me politicians stomping through their districts. Delivering stomp speeches. Stomping for votes. All of it.

"Organized gangs of wine moms" sounds like a Monty Python sketch guest written by Bill Lawrence.

(Thread) In light of the latest Grok abomination, a few thoughts on AI and guardrails. First, if generative AI truly lived up to the I, it wouldn’t need constant tinkering with guardrails. At some point it would, you know, figure stuff out. (1/)

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t nirvana, pearl jam, soundgarden, or alice in chains

Darn liberal media skewing things again. Why not report this as “Measles cases at lower levels than the next three years”?

In my defense, the duck really was very mean.

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen— Squeeze Cowboy Junkies REM Neutral Milk Hotel Arcade Fire

WE SOMETIMES PEPPER SPRAY GEOGRAPHIC AREAS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT CONTAIN CHILDREN, IS ALL.

Opening a court hearing by singing the song of my people. That's how you do it.

So why the paper Oval Office sign? Is there someone who regularly uses that entrance who, like, keeps forgetting where he is, or where he should be going?

Pundits today: How did a candidate touting affordability beat an indicted incumbent, a serial sexual harasser, and a perennially losing Republican? We'll somehow conclude that it's because Mamdani is a bigger antisemite than Nick Fuentes.

Not gonna hold my breath waiting for any mainstream news headlines reading "2026 election results show Trump and Republicans must move more toward the center."

"Remember to think of Republican's feelings when you vote" is really not a message resonating with me right now.

"Andrew, man. What the hell."

My wife and I are staring at an increase of more than $150 per person, so I guess we're each picking up the average for about twelve other people?

Pope Leo? Born in Chicago. Mar Awa III? Born in Chicago. Dallin H. Oaks, new leader of the LDS church? Went to law school and worked in Chicago. It's clear: These days, the road to religious leadership goes through Chicago.

Guess I know what that baby's doing for every remaining game.

“Be happy that we still let you protest” may not be the flex they think it is.

My connections there said everything, including treatment by the ISP, got worse when Bovino came out. ISP responded to him.

This completely gives away the game on the lack of I in AI. If there were actual intelligence in AI, you would not need to tweak its algorithm or train it on the right data or whatever—it would be intelligent. It would figure out truth and accuracy by itself. But it can't—it doesn't know how.

I feel so much safer with eight doofuses downtown trying to stop food from being delivered.

Humans: We're concerned about LLMs' misinformation, psychotic tendencies, and inability to know what facts are. Altman: But what if it provided all that before you even ask for anything_?

So … he lets sex run by him but kills it if it gets too close?

Tuesday Newsday is coming right up, and I'm gonna be on it! I'll talk about Shadowrun Anarchy and more!

Ah yes, the timeless AOTETTTRASOMWHBPATDUASWHBGFTPOFOGWAMIITSOTGPOMOAOTUSAFOPTM

Sorry, I was too busy working on what will be my eleventh published novel to deal with whatever he's going on about.

I made a meme based on a type of discourse that keeps happening. Use it with my blessing.

Look, everyone knows that the first step in building a big-tent coalition is being upfront about who you're willing to throw under the bus.

But then how do they know how many snacks to provide?

“Antifa” is neither domestic, nor terror, nor a group. Discuss.

Share favorite covers for a timeline cleanse: Cowboy Junkies are a great band but also a great cover band--"Sweet Jane," "The Post," "Oooh Las Vegas," and "Powderfinger" are all great. So is "Lost My Driving Wheel." www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXTl...

So officials say the weapon from yesterday’s shooting was recovered. I’m sure the national gun registry will be vital in helping track where the weapon came from and finding the perpetrator. <touches earpiece > Okay, I’m getting an update …

I mean, I get it. Just because you want to overturn a longstanding precedent on a hot-button political issue and also make up the existence of presidential immunity doesn't mean you want to get _political_.

I see we're doing the "Democrats talked wrong, so people had to vote for Trump" thing again, so one more time: If someone had to vote for a racist, sexist, sexually assaulting convicted felon because of the other side's word choices, the actual problem just might have been deeper than words.

Full Force Sandwich Dibs on the band name.

But does this mean the Bears finally know how to throw a quick slant?

Sure. Reagan was demonizing welfare recipients in particular and Black people in general with his welfare queen myth for years before Bork, but things didn't get ugly until a college-educated white guy with a good job was criticized.

Challenge: post your last photo taken in DC to show what a hell-hole it is. I mean, we all have to be terrified of that all-black silhouette in the lower left, don't we?

The Oval Office has a much higher felons-per-capita ratio than my Chicago neighborhood, so the Oval Office should stay the hell away from my neighborhood. And city.

So we could give tax breaks to you and your friends and hope maybe some of them want to treat workers with dignity? Or how about transfer those resources to workers, who already know they should be treated with dignity? P.S. “Dems never innovate” is cheap Third Way slop.
