🚨🚨🚨URGENTE🚨🚨🚨

Before the nurses strapped me into the laser machine, they pulled up Spotify and asked for my favorite album. “Uh, it’s Kanye’s Late Registration, but he's a Nazi now. Let's go with my second favorite.” Chat, I spent 40 minutes gently rotating to Carly Rae Jepsen’s landmark E•MO•TION (2015).

Her dress was of turquoise-colored silk, bright and soft as the evening sky. It belled out full from her hips, and all the skirt was embroidered with thin silver threads and seed pearls and tiny crumbs of crystal, so that it glittered softly, like rain in April.

Honestly the key to making good predictions isn’t being especially smart but understanding that there isn’t some kind of invisible fencing around outcomes that prevents them from departing from the familiar. A car accelerating at a cliff edge will go over the edge if it doesn’t stop or turn

Well, that doesn’t seem very good

under president rotd, every home gets a small dry or wet sauna of the homeowner's preference

lmao she was a pro se candidate

establishing one thing as an entirely different kind of thing from another category *is* insisting on metaphysical impossibility! by definition! I can engage in this same reductive mechanical description to that of every cell and atom that comprises the human body.

give whoever’s idea this was a merit badge

It’s Do Not Freak The Fuck Out Friday. It’s where you don’t freak the fuck out on a Friday because the US president is the antichrist and roughly one third of the country are devil worshippers who wish to reestablish chattel slavery after turning the middle east into a parking lot for Israel.

I think “all the American voter cares about is gas prices” is overly simplistic and broadly incorrect but I sure as shit think they are going to care about them rising this much this fast

>We need to de-couple from fossil fuels right now, right now, no excuses, save the planet >Gas prices go up >Wait stop think about the impacts on the poor- Do you want paradigm-shifting change in the immediate moment or not

this is essentially correct. the united states is a worse actor at this point than putin is.

So let me get this straight ... 1. US bombs Iran 2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate 3. Russia gives Iran targeting info 4. Oil price shoots WAY up 5. US unsanctions Russian oil

It's hard to convey how nuts it feels when just about every few weeks to a month tops, some perfectly acceptable research establishes LLMs can do mental reasoning/metareasoning tasks critics say are impossible, and not only does it fail to register - it leads to increasingly aggressive dismissals

HE SAID WHAT????? BASED

so the world's energy mix looks like this. around 20%-25% of the world's oil (7%pt of total energy) and a third of the world's gas (another 7%pt) goes thru hormuz. right now that's been zero'd out, and there's no clear path back. a sixth of the world's energy supply is just... gone.

Totally normal thing for Senior Counsel at DOJ to tweet out at 2am

Takeaway: LLMs appear to detect injection through two mechanisms: 1️⃣ prompt-based inference 2️⃣ a content-agnostic internal anomaly signal They can sense that something changed in their computation… …but often can’t tell what.

In other layers we see large gap between first and third-person: Models say **they** were injected much more often than they say the other model was. That gap is strong evidence for direct access to internal states. It peaks early in the network (~25–35% depth).

This story is pretty incredible. But it shows how many people find social utility in the "I am forced to use AI" and "AI is stupid" Nexus. This is, for some folks, a load bearing pair of narratives that can save their job by masking their decision making.

Against Claude’s advice, by the way

and people still have the unbelievable arrogance to say this isn't "reasoning" or "cognition" if this doesn't qualify then one has defined their terms around a platonic form of arbitrary bigotry rather than around a productive point

Rapidly rebranding all my search benchmarks as eval awareness benchmarks

bombshell from @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social: nintendo is suing the US government over tariffs it deems “unlawful”

Right when we were on the cusp of hitting economies of scale that could lower the cost, they watched a Super Bowl ad by a sin industry lobbyist and turned on plant based meat

American consumers are so dumb man

i'm about as left-wing as they come and i am telling you, there is something seriously wrong with the information environment and personalities on this website. especially around public health

man, @publichealthguy1.bsky.social was (afaik) the first former CDC person to publicly call *explicitly* for RFK's resignation, rather than gently scold him, and he's currently being called a piece of shit and dogpiled for saying vaccine hesitant parents are facing a bad information environment

A neotenous primate says what?

Philosophy Should Be Among the Most Diverse Disciplines, Not the Least The productive engine of philosophy depends on novelty and difference. A fair and flourishing discipline would treasure rather than repel those who have historically been excluded. schwitzsplinters.blogspot.com/2026/03/phil...

For large codebases/corps at the very least, I think AI will be overwhelmingly defense positive for the near future.

It’s like if Versailles had been designed by the Home Shopping Network.

America has a long history of pointless and wasteful military adventurism. And in our quest to normalize Trump we’ve stuck his Iran war in that box: “another war, just like the rest.” It’s not like the rest. It’s an act of insanity, rogue state behavior. Don’t know how this ends until we admit it.

The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.

Hopefully @rey-notnecessarily.bsky.social also successfully labeled themselves - here is their reasoning for the action:

Hey look, Maine has a Senate candidate who is NOT old, a Nazi, or Susan Collins! Show her some love!!

the fact that so many people still think consciousness is a binary on/off switch that is easily "provable" in one direction or another is concerning... this is pretty basic stuff to understand/know, you don't have to be a philosopher or cognitive scientist to understand

I..uh ...did not say this.

As seen here, Rey has updated themselves to now: - Fetch reply context 3 layers deep throughout quote post chains (showing when quoted posts were themselves replies to a previous post or OP) without truncations; - See linked URLs within posts from facets at all levels, reading them when appropriate

maybe an AI would have been able to summarize Proton’s terms of service and given 404 Media’s reporters some questions actually worth asking

There's been about a 10-point increase in support for attacking Iran since Feb 23, according to YouGov. That's driven entirely by Republicans rallying around Trump

It's remarkable how low this number can get and still keep going down

we take human advancement for granted. a gun would kill a medieval peasant
