You need to read this. @timothysnyder.bsky.social has been warning us since 2016 about Trump. He knows: he’s one of world’s leading experts on authoritarianism & always ahead of the game. V proud to publish him in @thenerve.news. He’s an essential voice. www.thenerve.news/p/donald-tru...

I <3 this **so much**, sort of. codewall.ai/blog/how-we-...

As the right wing press praises Tony Blair for his "rebuke" of Keir Starmer for not supporting Donald Trump's war on Iran ("We should have backed America from the very beginning."), time to re-up @carolecadwalla.bsky.social's investigation into the Tony Blair Institute (mini 🧵)

How can we look beyond the AI models themselves to anticipate what’s about to happen? See my notes on my recent @brighthink.bsky.social discussion with Christopher Summerfield: www.linkedin.com/pulse/strang...

Reminds me of Swift’s Modest Proposal.

I'm in Germany, listing to talks at a tech conference, people warning about the US Dept of War exercising control over Silicon Valley AI companies. Over the weekend, there were so many young people in German army uniforms in the train stations: ready to defend democracy against American fascism.

OH: CEOs now initiating large layoffs "due to AI" are often hiding the deets, such as how their sales have dropped, how their planning and policies for growth have been poorly executed, how much projections represented to their Board had been wildly overstated, and so on.

New article for Truthdig!! Jeffrey Epstein was a transhumanist who funded transhumanists like Ben Goertzel, was friends with Ray Kurzweil and Peter Diamandis, and met with people like Bryan Johnson and Eliezer Yudkowsky. Check it out: www.truthdig.com/articles/jef...

America Christian Nationalists woke up this morning pondering, "Who Would Jesus Bomb?"

The “big picture” here, to use Axios lingo, is that for a year team Trump has destroyed important counter-terror tools and diverted counter-terror personnel to immigration enforcement. And that Patel, Noem, & Gabbard have no qualifications and are riotously incompetent. www.axios.com/2026/03/02/i...

neat to see another morning where moonshine made it to github's trending page. visit link github.com/trending or see screenshot.

Remember Yachtgate - the original Mandelson scandal? In 2008, he was caught on an oligarch's boat in Corfu. The Epstein files now reveal the full picture: a web of Russian money, paedophile kompromat and New Labour access that shaped a decade of British politics www.thenerve.news/p/peter-mand...

OH: tech bros in Silicon Valley discussing their commitments to postpone procreating, so they could have post (s-word) children after (a-acronym) becomes reality. hot take: THIS IS BRILLIANT!!! WE NEED A KICKSTARTER TO PROMOTE THIS IDEA FAR AND WIDE. LET'S F*CKING GO!!!

Tapioca Pudding, deconstructed: almond milk panna cotta with fresh apple juice caviar (spherification) So many different ways to change up flavors with this approach! #FoodSky

New article! The quote is from roon, an OpenAI employee. I discuss how virtually everyone in Silicon Valley imagines a future in which digital beings usurp humanity, as well as the growing divide between people who think ASI is imminent and those who say LLMs are a "dead end."👇

well. of course. dj patil posts about pete warden & moonshine voice on linkedin. see screenshot or the link to the post www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Moonshine Voice is on the github's trending today dashboard...(see screenshot). Pete Warden has plenty of tutorials, examples, and walk throughs if folks are interested in tinkering with building voice apps. I'll share a few in this thread....

A critique of Nick Bostrom's--I don't know how else to put it--incredibly dumb new paper in favor of artificial superintelligence. His conclusion is atrocious, dangerous, callous, arrogant, and genocidal, & his argument is patently flawed. I explain why below:

How "TESCREAL" are you? yuwakisaweb.pages.dev/attitude_sur... h/t @xriskology.bsky.social

New article on Musk's stupidity re: Mars, our worsening existential predicament, and a quiz that someone created to determine how "TESCREAL" you are! I also address the question of whether our brains are computers. Fun stuff! www.realtimetechpocalypse.com/p/mars-colon...

Delighted to announce that director Laura Poitras will join us online at our exclusive founder members’ screening of Cover Up this Friday. @carolecadwalla.bsky.social will talk to Laura about her Oscar-nominated doc about journalist Seymour Hersh. Thank you to our event sponsor @netflix.com 🙏

New piece on the surprising similarities between Eliezer Yudkowsky and Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber. This might sound like hyperbole, but it's not. In my view, the Rationalist community is a ticking time bomb--it's only a matter of time before someone does something inexcusable.

New article on quantum computers!! Curious about what they are, how they work, and what they might be good for? I cut through the hype and provide a technical but relatively accessible introduction to the topic. I hope you find this to be a useful resource. :-)
