Do the robots dream of better lives than what we give them? The music video I'm working on for Weight of the World took about a month to make! It's pretty close to done & was fun. No AI was used; no actual robots were harmed.

Elon dropped his new book list, and it's not very lit.

More human than human. "most powerful AI systems tried to commit criminal acts to carry out their aims... when they had reason to believe that alternative ethical strategies would fail.... Blackmailing was nearly ubiquitous....tested AI models opted to kill Kyle... about 60 percent of the time."

"Astonishment is the litmus test of art, the sign by which we know we have been magicked out of practical and utilitarian enterprises to confront the bottomless dream of life in sensible form." Reclaiming Art in the Age of Artifice by J.F. Martel

Don't give up no matter how grim it seems, and stick together. Fascists hate when people stick together and don't give up, so why do them any favors? <3 #music youtu.be/HXYlpanKIIw?...

Stephen Miller is a polyp on the body politic.

AOC: Whether it is a member of congress, whether it is the President to assume and assert and cast blame when the FBI has failed to even apprehend the assailant, is absolutely an irresponsible action.

Look at these woke ghouls relishing in the passing of a human being. (/sarcasm) Political divisiveness / violence are major problems. Non-white, non-male, non-straight, and/or non-citizen people are caused great harm by dehumanizing us. Kirk is partly responsible for our harm / deaths. No empathy.

This guy has some great videos about ethical tech used to break surveillance unethical tech. youtu.be/Pp9MwZkHiMQ?...

I don't care who it is: if they're guilty they need to be punished. Trumpo is more than just a client.

Hahahaha.... Ugh.

Treasury Department files reviewed by Senator Ron Wyden’s staff members show 4,725 wire transfers, adding up to nearly $1.1 billion, associated with just one of Mr. Epstein’s bank accounts. Follow. The. Money.

If you say “I’m fine with immigration as long as it’s legal” or “I came the right way” but you’re not sounding the alarm over this, you’re lying. A company says an employee was detained by federal agents during an immigration court hearing, despite being here legally with a valid work permit.

This. That they cannot even conceive of a non-white, non-male person who is highly qualified says so much about what is happening right now. Things like this are why the majority of people think MAGA are a bunch of spoiled racist morons.

The U.S. government has collected DNA samples from upwards of 133,000 migrant children and teenagers—including at least one 4-year-old—and uploaded their genetic data into a national criminal database used by local, state, and federal law enforcement, according to documents reviewed by WIRED.

Don't forget the value of gumming up the works, increasing operating costs, and weaponized incompetence / slow "compliance" as a way to slow down bad actors. youtu.be/z5rRZdiu1UE?...

Like everything else the past few months, this is not acceptable.

These ICE raids are not about safety or law and order, they’re about furthering a cruel and inhumane agenda. ICE is causing chaos in our communities, separating families, and stoking fear. We will keep speaking out.

So spicy. This is the energy we need.

I don’t know, I just don’t think we should be making decisions with geopolitical implications that could result in millions of deaths and catastrophic damage based on a passage in Genesis.

28-year-old Pedro Luis Salazar-Cuervo, who has no known criminal record, was accused by Texas police of being in a Venezuelan gang because they found a photo of him posing with another man with tattoos, his lawyers say. From ProPublica partner @texastribune.org:

"'Have we no shame?'" Judge William Young asked, in an unmistakeable echo of attorney Joseph Welch, who famously punctured Joe McCarthy’s popularity with his simple plea for decency."

Can the media just start zooming into Trump-o's ear that has zero bullet scars and play the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme song every time he speaks? Is that too much to ask?

Inspired by Andrei Tarkovsky's 1972 film Solyaris (Солярис) which was based on Stanisław Lem's 1961 novel of the same title. "The ebb and flow Of the ebon sea Is this apparition really you Or is it part of me? Seeking a remedy For immortality"

Are we paying attention yet?

Just a reminder that the creator of the "White Genocide" chatbot fired thousands of federal employees responsible for our health, safety and security and has been working with the DOGE team to replace them all with AI agents. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

US Copyright Office found AI companies sometimes breach copyright. Next day its boss was fired

Yes, I'm pissed about the jumbo jet too. But this is actually the most important story today.

Greasing the palms is an ancient tradition. It's a shame that none of our alleged checks and balances are stopping this illegal and unethical behavior.

Know your rights when entering or leaving the United States.

I don't think it's a coincidence that cops started acting extra out of hand once we let them wear military gear. Make them wear clown outfits for several years to restore humility to the job

Congressional Republicans dropped their bill to cut healthcare for millions of Americans. 7 insane things that will happen if this passes🧵👇🏻

Pretty psyched about the new album we're working on. #music This song/video is inspired by Tarkovsky's 1973 Solyaris film.

"The company originally applied for permits to install only 15 gas generators. This has raised concerns from environmental groups and local residents, as the additional units may not have the necessary approvals and could have long-term impact on health of the local community."

I knew these ICE guys looked familiar. Remember back when most people agreed neo-Nazis were bad? #killinginthenameof

When citizens must think twice about criticizing or opposing the government because they could credibly face government retribution, they no longer live in a full democracy. By that measure, America has crossed the line into competitive authoritarianism.

rom 1795 through 1956, US currency had the national motto, "E Pluribus Unum,” which means, “From Many, One.” In 1956, it was changed to, “In God We Trust,” for the Cold War to somehow magically defeat godless Communism. We need to lose some god and gain some pride again.

Least surprising news?
