Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it Workers should learn AI skills and companies should use it because it's a "cognitive amplifier," claims Satya Nadella.

Lots of them are panicking that AI uptake isn't fast enough and they might run out of momentum to do the sweep they are attempting to do on society.

This isn't about AI, it's about the window in which they have permission to remould society.

Tech Gossip Columnists are not Analysis YouTube video by Quarantine Collective

So it was discovered that Taylor Lorenz plagiarized her latest Section 230 video. She copies a blog post *phrase by phrase* and passes it off as her own original thought, the only transformative aspect being when she cuts in like a drama streamer. It's so shameless it's astonishing (see 4:22:22 on):

The amount of labor and resources exhausted to respond to this ‘threat’ is immeasurable… and it was all for literally nothing except stoking fear.

This also ignores that the FCC didn’t stop Colbert from putting on Talarico - CBS did. Crucial difference.

No ‘alternative’ - like Erickson claims - was even offered. CBS simply shut it down themselves.

This sentence alone is horrifying. The whole thread is so hard to read

The regime is now dictating what political views are acceptable to air on television and paramount/cbs are collaborating in that censorship bsky.app/profile/ditz...

Preying on others by appealing to their empathy is psychopathic. It’s serial killer shit. Abolish ICE.

Immigrants pay more taxes than billionaires.

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering

The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

ir's also by people who use "woke" don't want to define it. it's not that it's indefinable. it's that it's a dogwhistle/racist slur, and if you defined it, it would lost its respectable utility.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

One person at a time. One tea stop at a time. One vote at a time.

Walks like this not only remind us what we’re fighting for but also how we can represent our communities better.

We’ll be on Devon again today! Hope to see you there 🧡

Opinion | Affordability and the ‘Epstein Class’ Will Define American Politics

“When Citizens United was decided in 2010, billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 election, $13M 2004 and $16M in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 it was $231M, and nearly doubled again in next three election cycles —to $682M in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024.” Gift:

Holy 💩!

This article immediately labels @emilymbender.bsky.social and I as "curmudgeons" because we don't think that the spicy auto complete has a concept of the self.

‘I can’t live without AI!’

Were you born three years ago? Is this your first time experiencing the wonder of human thought and free will?

‘Can’t live without AI’

How embarrassing.

"Trump won't last much longer" should be a call for action, not an excuse for inaction. The next maggat, the next trumplet won't give 1/10th as many blatant crimes and scandals to choose from. He's your last chance to set a precedent on literally anything you want.

Good news! All my students also found the Ring “Lost Dog” commercial terrifying! The kids get it

The best part of the Bad Bunny halftime performance is the only way you can call it "offensive" is if you believe the idea of non-white, non-English speaking people being American is offensive.

Punter MVP. No joke.

Bro literally came out and said “it’s our labor and culture that has always made the Americas great: y’all are just the beneficiaries of slave owners from sea to shining sea,” and I am here for it.

Mike Judge. He isn’t really open about it, but by most accounts he is at least a traditional libertarian.

When Republicans do it / When Democrats do it

Government can and *should* be good. Honestly, it’s not left vs right anymore - it’s people who care and people who don’t.
