The most depressing lesson of the Trump era is that scandals don’t matter if the perpetrator and their supporters don’t feel shame.

Shamelessness is now a political superpower.

AI-Generated “Workslop” Is Destroying Productivity Despite a surge in generative AI use across workplaces, most companies are seeing little measurable ROI. One possible reason is because AI tools are being used to produce “workslop”—content that appea...

The article echoes what I’ve seen and heard from peers: AI makes it easy to produce slick but shallow work that looks plausible on the surface, yet riddled with errors or bad assumptions underneath.

Your coworkers end up having to fix or redo it.

It’s workslop, and it’s spreading fast.

Man, I always used to say that the US would always be ahead, no matter what, because they have strong institutions.

You guys have no idea what is coming for you. I live in India, and even though it's a democracy just like the US, the media cannot speak against the gov. I am terrified for you guys.

The 2020s feel like an inverse of the 1960s: instead of a wave of permissiveness and expanding rights for women and minorities, we’re watching that progress recede.

Then, as now, marked by violence against the leading voices of the cultural movement.

Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.

Marvel Studios leaving Georgia and taking all its productions to the UK because they don’t have to pay for employees’ health insurance there due to universal healthcare is a valuable lesson for America.

We’ll ignore it but the lesson still stands. Universal healthcare creates jobs.

Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…

Good to see fellow cricket lovers on this platform 😁

We must build AI for people; not to be a person Personal site of Mustafa Suleyman, AI pioneer and author.

Looks like there was a “pump the brakes on the AI hype” group chat this weekend. Microsoft’s AI chief Mustafa Suleyman warns against building AI that seems conscious, saying it fuels “AI psychosis.”

He argues the industry should stick to assistants, not AGI.

Altman, Schmidt, now Suleyman.

The fact he seems to legitimately believe in the anti-Christ while also investing in companies and policies that would actually make his fears manifest is a modern day paradox.

We’re at the point in the AI hype cycle when even boosters sound skeptical. In six months, Eric Schmidt went from “AGI is near” to calling its pursuit a pricey distraction.

I’ve long felt LLMs are useful, but this tech won’t give us Ultron or JARVIS. Useful tech, yes. Superintelligence? Not really.
