TIME magazine is owned by Marc Benioff, owner of Salesforce, who literally ran an AI agents puff piece about his ow company in the magazine. I’m unsurprised he thinks a bunch of grifters are person of the year, he thinks they’re cool

"the attempted patriarchal mass murder of this woman's career and her personhood is a freaksome lynching the likes of which we will look back upon with a dazed compunction"??? why does this story make everyone take fistfuls of overwrought tortured prose pills??

It may sound radical, but if one guy has so much wealth and power that he can use the large newspaper he owns to publicly threaten to ruin a service we all rely on, presumably as a bargaining tactic to get lower rates, we probably need to tax that guy until he can't do that anymore.

no right, this makes sense, because the business here is bad

this is actually insane

it's possible that no one has ever misunderstood anything harder than olivia nuzzi and her ostensibly human editors have misunderstood dante

also think this fantasy of mastery expresses itself as an opportunity for total surrender, to expect nothing from yourself

i have the opportunity to see a movie solo while wife+family see wicked 2: 2 wickeds. options are running man, predator, and hamnet — and I feel like the universe would like me to sit through hamnet, despite my being filled w conviction that this will be a bad movie cloaked as good. anyone seen it?

abbye keeps seeing commercials with marshawn lynch and adam devine and asking me "is THAT mr. beast?"

it's that time of year where i can whip out this, the craziest ad of all time. what happens at the "climax" is so funny—i don't understand how the actor at that moment could have been directed sincerely by any person. other than maybe some total saboteur tim robinson type. youtu.be/PDonPiUV07E?...

well, this clock's shit got serious in a hurry

Laughing at Donald Trump saying he'd definitely feel comfortable living in Zohran Mamdani's New York on the same day that half the consultant brain-poisoned Democratic party voted to condemn socialism

hang on I have a great idea for an economy.. what if we all gave all the money to the GPU company, and uhh, I guess that's it. end of idea. what do you guys think

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

I guess you make a protracted 12-hour series on solitude and isolation and you invite this sort of thing, but: it is shocking to me how little I myself have progressed from the first conversation in this first episode—recorded with @juskewitch.bsky.social & @lazenby.bsky.social in april 2019. fuck.

you're doing it, aren't you—you're writing your ABIGAIL SPANBERGER IS THE DEMS' REAL STAR editorial. listen I am glad she won but do you have eyes on this man in ny? she is a milquetoast cia-bot who couldn't possibly be more boring. I'm obligated by all that I hold dear to catapult you into the sea

you really couldn't do better than 25 years after 9/11 dick cheney finally dies on the same day as a majority of NYC voters elect a socialist muslim mayor. that is some mythic lightbearer being sweatily forged in the darkness type mythos.

i guess this is my occasional reminder that falling in love, for some people, is issuing forth a kind of organized cruelty

i’ve said this before but lemme say it again. it makes absolutely 0 sense to talk about “misuse” of llms because there is no clear use or purpose for llms to begin with. genAI is a purposeless tech floating around looking for uptake 1/

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine. My latest @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/ice-is...

Just walked by a guy on a busy sidewalk with a bow and a quiver of arrows

forget what's actually under the hood here (which I'm sure is ML powered by a clearview-sized database, if not just clearview). but to make an analogy: the elisions, reversals, and swap-outs that turn this ostensible exercise of justice into its opposite are what genAI will enable *for everything*

a thing to think about in the future is that this is something a democratic congress will need to reign in, and we desperately need more democratic congressional reps to actually take the time to learn and understand how technology works, wyden isn't going to live forever

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

y'know, 10 years ago to the day, the world series also went to the 14th inning

While the feds continue to play stupid games, SNAP recipients are set to lose food aid for the next month. In the Bay Area, a growing number of restaurants are stepping up to help, and we're maintaining the list. Share with anyone who needs it. www.coyotemedia.org/these-bay-ar...

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Tesla's "Full Self-Driving" hallucinates pedestrians and people on TikTok think it's seeing ghosts... it's not an all-too common failure mode in a safety-critical system, it's seasonal marketing! insideevs.com/news/776769/...

If the AI bubble pops, it'll make dealing with our political crisis easier. But if history ends up rhyming, it'll pop shortly before a Democrat becomes president, whenever that may be, and a lot of the public will blame the fallout on whoever is in power at the time, not on those who inflated it.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year. In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.
