"AI will let us turn PhDs from 4 year degrees into 6 month degrees!"

Literally shitting on the part that makes it intellectual development. It requires things like *reading* for yourself and *writing* for yourself. Those aren't chores, they're part of skills acquisition and critical development.

The blatant bigotry of this has already been covered, but "we're not making therapy" is pretty rich from the guy who made for example UP and INSIDE OUT.

Don’t worry, America, will let some of your states join Canada as provinces after your Civil War. In the meantime, please keep your shit show on your side of the border.

we've shipped out 984,000 whistles pretty much entirely driven by this website, and sent about $25-30k worth of requested supplies to the twin cities on top of it, AND we've begun bulk buying red cards for various immigrant rights groups.

bluesky gets shit done.

Paramount/WB’s first movie will be an animated version of Monopoly where Mr Monopoly, recently questioning his life’s choices, will meet an Angel Investor who reminds him that “having it all” literally means having it all and at the end he buys Australia.

On NVIDIA and Analyslop Editor's note: a previous version of this newsletter went out with Matt Hughes' name on it, that's my editor who went over it for spelling errors and loaded it into the CMS. Sorry! Hey all! I’m going...

Free newsletter: I go over NVIDIA's earnings, the reality of OpenAI's $100 billion round, and the "analyslop" phenomenon of speculative, lie-ridden fan fiction that gets framed as meaningful research and promoted by the mainstream media.

Yeah. Why don’t they use it to see if their employees are getting paid a living wage? (I’m kidding, they should not use it for anything).

"Everyone is giving us backlash for all the social media stuff today," the Devils star continued, adding, "People are so negative out there and they are just trying to find a reason to put people down and make something out of almost nothing."

@newwestminster.bsky.social is still doing the same I believe. It’s complete nonsense and well past any reasonable explanation.

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.”

They pulled a Target.

I love that Anthropic is somehow both a big powerful ai lab with such powerful unique tech and also a tiny small bean trembling in fear and screaming in agony that somebody was able to extract the value of its product by using its outputs. Both hypocritical and pathetic. Washed.

Hegseth and Noem keep mightily pissing off and humiliating those who serve under them and history informs us that that often does not work out for leaders such as them when regimes collapse

Enough talk about Diane Warren and her mediocre sonic wallpaper. This is a man who is seriously goddamn overdue. GIVE. HIM. HIS. OSCAR.

Positive take (relatively) on “we have lived among such people this whole time”:

Yes, and that shows things don’t need to be like this. There will always be the sort of people who’d try to get the state to hurt kindergartners. We just need to keep them out of institutional power, and on the fringe.

"Corolla-sized vermin" Girl you are living in their habitat. Those sea lions are your neighbors. This is like when people call the ocean "shark infested." The sharks aren't infesting the ocean, that's their fucking house

If anyone casts a vote for this, they should be treated as incompetent and their vote should be permanently taken away from them. JFC, I hate this timeline.

Hear about his experience with Coprolalia, his thoughts on how BAFTA mishandled the moment, and the need for care for all who are harmed:
