I genuinely think the president and many of his advisers, scammers, hustlers, and keyboard gangsters, don’t understand this concept at all and you can see it in the pattern of their mistakes from Minneapolis to Tehran www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/o...

I’m going to wheatpaste this article to telephone poles until everyone reads it

A truly wonderful article to unpack the nonsense discourse around the role of LLMs in the war machine.

My friend wrote a piece for Esquire about the passing of his wife (an extremely talented composer) and the music she left behind. It’s a beautiful meditation on grief and art and the way the two things inform each other; please read if you’re so inclined. mcusercontent.com/b2fc960a6273...

my first book (2020) was about online neonazis and my second book (2024) was about christian theocrats. they gained strength, voltronned and became a government. my third book (2027) is going to be a history of notable sandwiches so i hope this means we will be governed by sandwichocracy

Every old fuck tells you how fast time goes, knowing you won't believe it, just as they didn't. It is the essential human cognitive crime. Having all the facts and only complaining later you didn't listen. You couldn't, because delusion is the magic that builds empires on occasion it works.

For the love of God stop showing me bad takes from Twitter. If I wanted to see bad takes from Twitter, I'd be on Twitter.

I'm disheartened by how toxic and violent some responses were here. There was a mistake, a quick follow up to mitigate and an apology. I worked with Daniel for years and is one of the persons most preoccupied with ethical implications of AI. Some replies are Reddit-toxic level. We need empathy.
