When I talk about how AI is used as a blind for the actual problem, even by proponents, this is what I mean. The problem here isn't that coding velocity will increase. It's that insurance companies are empowered to do their obfuscatory cost ratcheting practices faster.

Yeah man if only we could do something like regulate the system or increase the size of the pool we negotiate for to provide any sort of downwards trend. If only we could reduce the costs and limits of being a health care professional to help reduce the scarcity of trained professionals.

Isn't it fascinating how these supply chains can be so incredibly thin when they're geographically constricted?

As an aside US missiles need ammonium perchlorate. The only domestic source is a facility in Cedar City, Utah US missiles also need RDX & HMX. The only domestic source is a facility in Kingsport, Tennessee US missiles also need engines. The only domestic source is a facility in Pontiac, Michigan

Did you hear the story of the one man $1.8 billion business built by AI as portrayed in the @nytimes.com? Turns out basically every aspect of that story is bullshit and the story should be retracted.

$2 million per ship — to cross a Strait that was free six weeks ago. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/w...

Looks like I offended some woo woo weirdo by laughing at a video in public and now he is challenging me to a live debate. Kinda feels like a puppy is asking me to kick it, except puppies are cute and have redeeming qualities and this guy is a deist libertarian.

ah, well,

Wow, I hear a lot of crazy things on YouTube but "pee comes from the uterus and that's why women need special bathrooms because the normal pipes aren't meant for something so potent" is a new level

Periodically people will tell you that LLMs are plagiarism machines or are not capable of useful work. Inn case you still think this, read the work Anthropic has done with its (appropriately named?) Mythos model on security. They found a bug old enough to vote in OpenBSD. #casenightmareclaude

BTW the people who spent the last few years advocating for Palestine were clearly 100% right that normalizing war crimes and genocide there would just increase the likelihood of inhumane actions elsewhere. Just saying.

I just disagree with a lot of people about a lot of stuff, but most of the time I try to find meaning in what we do agree on.

I'm not sure "token efficiency" in that mythos announcement is an interesting feature.

nobody wants soulless mechanical CVEs slopped out by a slop machine. people want to get pwned by something real, something deliberate and human,

New Claude found zero-day's in OpenBSD, ffmpeg, Linux and FreeBSD.

It's incredibly important as we go through this Iranian crisis that we hold people to task for Reactionary thinking. It's what got America here. You cannot treat evidence as a decorative feature of your goals. If you do you're creating the conditions for fascism. You *are* the problem.

after a quick review of my timeline i feel the need to point to the sign

The post-quantum cryptography timeline accelerating at the same time that mythos is creating mass CVEs is really threatening to alter my roadmaps

During the anti-ICE school walkouts in January, a group of students in Chandler were targeted by an armed agitator. Turns out it was Phoenix PD Sergeant Dusten Mullen. He admitted his plan was to try to get purposely assaulted so the teenager protesters would all get arrested (it didn’t work).

an industry secret is that you can make up any old shit about LLMs and say it's "because they're autoregressive" and ppl will just believe you

This is not foreign policy, it’s a deranged mad man threatening to wipe out an entire country. It's past time. The 25th Amendment must be invoked.

God, I love her so much. Just banger after bager. She's in it purely for the love of the game and I respect that.

“We’ve lost out on the ability to continue to improve this work to make it more effective, and to explore how to apply it to other areas…There are a lot of different ways that genetics has been used to justify prejudice and…that human-made social categories interface with biological categories“🧪

Just like when you ask these folks if they also hate streaming video, which has a massive carbon footprint and requires tons of data centers, they have an answer: "I've decided it's okay because I like the outputs." In this case: they like bacon and beef. "Treatler" was a very good read.

The grand irony of these fed posting comments is that it was actually the voting that managed to save the Jan6ers. Stochastic violence hurts individuals. Without organization it doesn't do anything at all.

He's like every super rich person I've ever met. He has money psychosis.

It's simultaneously beautiful and terrifying.

I haven't been slain by a video in some time so I thought I'd share.

The only way to move forward is to abolish ICE and prosecute its leadership and employees for their evil fascist murder campaign.

What's fun about this is that it seems impressive like a trick shot (and it is) but then you consider the geometry and go, "Oh, it couldn't be any other way, all trips to the moon and back look like this unless you land."

I love science 🌗

Remember that time when ICE shot a man as he fled into his home and then claimed he beat an agent with a snowshovel? And we were all like "you're lying"? They were lying www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/u...

the bsky server issues aren't caused by ai obviously. that's stupid. they're caused by the moon mission

It's always some psuedoliterate dipshit who's never actually done any direct action mutual aid in his life that goes, "Oh yeah we might as well try and gun down a city council or over a random vote. There is no choice really." These folks don't even understand how that could be counterproductive.

Nothing to see here. Just an incredibly warm Pacific Ocean

most things: here is some detailed and/or jokey analysis artemis: SPACE IS SO COOL YOU GUYSSSSSSS LOOK IT'S A CRESCENT EARTH

What's so strange about the replies and quotes is that folks act like there is no other recourse. But of course there is no other recourse, this is a local politician. It's relatively easy to remove them, compete with them, make their opinion unpopular, etc.

Artemis II seems like it's just straight-up happening in a parallel reality. The Apollo missions happened in the depths of the Vietnam War, but Nixon, for example, communicated with the astronauts. It almost seems like Trump has no idea either Artemis or the moon exists.

Just uh, folks. Generally feature changes don't cause substantial downtime? Unless it's a data platform change you just roll it back. It was just wishful thinking to assume it's AI related changes.

@lookitup.baby I guess it's good to delete that screenshot, it was a pretty blind fire take.
