Photograph of turkey vulture on sign, wings spread open. Sign says 'kayak rentals available on request.' The joke is you can rent kayaks from this bird. I did not take the photo or make the joke, but both are excellent.

4 frame comic. the first frame shows a tangram swan. text reads : 
they call it "aI", but
large language models (llm)
such as chatbots are far from
intelligent: they are pattern-
recognition machines that
churn out whatever might sound
like a reply to the thing you
last said.
2nd frame shows inside a data center. text reads : 
that distinction matters,
because the technology for
actual aI simply doesn't exist.
the only way for llm to get
better is to feed it more data,
transiting in bigger polluting
data centers, scavenged
always deeper into our
devices.
3rd frame shows a child blowing bubbles. text reads :
but once
the whole internet has been
fed to their llm, how can these
companies promise neverending
growth to their shareholders?

that's what makes "AI"
a bubble, kept afloat by
circular investments
and hype.
4th frame shows a chatbot logo. text reads :
llms need us to keep interacting
and coming back in order to grow.
they are sycophantic by design.
they amplify delusions and will
never disagree with you or
challenge your worldview.

it's ripping apart communities
for a few billionaires' hubris.

I Want You to Understand Chicago
Politics Chicago
2025-11-08

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.

Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again.

An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next.

Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. β€œWe could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st.

Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

a painting of a woman laying on a bed with a man sitting at a table Alt: Slightly low resolution gif of Howl from Ghibli's film version of Howl's Moving Castle. He is lying in his bed in his room, surrounded by trinkets and stuff and curios. Sophie is sitting at his bedside, old. Many of the gold trinkets rotate, sway, and move, glittering.

Every day I become closer to Howl's bedroom, unclear complimentary or derogatory.
