Oh, he was talking about a British TV show about MI5 and wasn’t sure why the name was different for the US version. It was funny in context but seems like one he’d want on his radar for future.

Excellent episode. Unlike the guy at the pub, I did listen to the whole thing.

Listening to Ilze’s episode now. Can you tell Simon that “spook” is a racial slur and that’s why Americans don’t use it? Seems like one he should be aware of.

@bennjordan.bsky.social we really need a video on this 2024 startup spyware tech being jammed into the courts. Like me personally & also the laypeople who might not understand why this is so scary.

So You've Decided to Target Random People with Military Force Here's why it's illegal.

ICYMI here is a quick explainer on why the strikes in the Caribbean are illegal and why you should care (hint: you might be next) open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

Jokes aside, the #2 is insightful in a way Justin doesn’t intend.

The absolute goobers who put “analyze the likelihood that my theory about quantum mechanics is correct” into chatGPT and claim to be doing “vibe physics” when the chatbot says “that’s a great theory” 100% think they’re in that group.

@tyleraking.com this is bad in ways I can’t fully articulate, in case you hadn’t heard about it. I have serious concerns about a new Palantir ai software company being set up inside the state courts.

Michigan courts just signed a contract to use Learned Hand AI. Florida is considering following suit. Learned Hand is owned/developed by Shlomo Klapper, a Peter Thiel/Palantir protege. The same Palantir that selected the DOGE kids to force Elon Musk’s ai on the federal government.

There’s a new video YT is promoting hard. The thumbnail is a comment from Hank Green. It starts out skeptical about “AGI” but quickly starts parroting Elon and Sam’s narratives.

If my guy is serious, someone should tell him that Elon took a bunch of OpenAI engineers when he left to start xai

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

I have had zero contact or updates since

"Wait until you're older, your body will stop working well."

Or, may I introduce a concept of people being chronically ill at every age.

It’s a gimmick so Sam Altman can secure funding for the next quarter. Sora 2 is too expensive and clunky to be useful to anyone, Altman just wants everyone to think he has a scary product that can threaten entire industries. It’s been his schtick the whole time

the most uncanny aspect of the 21st century is how many stories we have about charlatan showmen who conned the world—from PT Barnum to Andrew Wakefield—and yet we still take grandiose, provably false claims from tech CEOs as though they are harmless or, at worst, true

The ADL let Trump get away with complaining about Shylock bankers, so it’s fair to say they know exactly what they’re doing

You should post about him more. My next video essay is largely about OpenAI and how it’s been a scam since 2015 when he founded it with Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Microsoft and Amazon.

Since there are still people who think he started out with good intentions.

I guess you forgot that a bunch of people in the 2010 humanitarian aid flotilla to Palestine were shot dead by the Israelis. These “kids” (including an Irish senator) are only alive because the world was watching this time.

Imagine hating starving women and children so much that you mock the people trying to bring them supplies

I also love the article saying “canceling was used so much it doesn’t mean anything anymore” like yes. MAGA took canceling and woke and started using them as pejoratives to take them away from Black people. In response to #MeToo
Maybe the moment really was when they killed Harambe

I also do this one at least once a week. My ex and I used to say it to each other.

I’m not much of a gamer—Disco Elysium is the first game I’ve played since the Kingdom Hearts remasters

Just start screen sharing Disco Elysium, you don’t even need to say anything

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

As a court staff attorney I often describe my job to laypeople as “ghost writing.” It also makes sense for things like celebrity autobiographies, or books where a famous person wants credit. Self publishing is easier than ever these days but it’s only profitable if it’s marketable

Cover of Chuck Tingle's "tingler" titled, "Just Kind of Ignoring this Sad Lonesome T-Rex Who Is Screaming 'Debate Me' from his Folding Chair"

Next week, I hope Ezra Klein will interview Chuck Tingle about whether "debate me" guys are doing politics the right way.
