If only

At this point we need a ban on pieces that are 100 percent sycophantic interviews with desperate techbro CEO’s spewing word salad about how great AI is while they sweat bullets about their massively overvalued stocks that are about to crash. You should have to ask one substantive question.

Waiting for those Wapo opinion pieces on “free trade” lol

Wait that’s not personal liberties or free markets, WTF Bezos?

"the dominance of small-dollar donors who...may not reflect the broader electorate"? As opposed to rich people and giant corporations? This doesn't even make sense.

I feel like this is the dumbest concept in the history of the world, that a currency that only works with a giant infrastructure of data centers running on complex software and enormous quantities of fossil fuels is going to somehow be useful in case of economic collapse.

The odds of a 'city-killer' asteroid hitting Earth have fallen to zero After weeks at the top of the Sentry list at the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies, the asteroid 2024 YR4 is no longer considered a threat to Earth.

Sad. So many people were rooting for the asteroid.

lol. I dodged it twice and haven’t regretted it.

Do it! Run I mean. Something new. You’d be great!

A lot if historians would say that KKK 2.0 does put because it achieved so many of its aims.

One of my musician friends used to say when performing a blues song, “you know this is s an old song, because in a minute I’m going be talking about a landline.” I miss you, Carl.

Historians remind you that, for now, it is theoretically possible for Congress to stop DT, but that once he fires a lot of generals and replaces them with loyalists there may be no practical way to stop him other than blood in the streets.

The entire burden of preventing this is being placed on educators, by the way, facing enormous headwinds. Be kind to your kids' teachers and professors.

It's like how Uber destroyed the competition (taxis and public transport) and then raised prices, but this time the "competition" is people with genuine cognitive skills.

My daughter Rachel can write a good report for way less than the cost of production of a "Deep Research" report that cites mainly SEO trash and contains bizarre errors you won't catch without hours of fact-checking. By the time VC runs out and prices rise, there will be few Rachels with the skills.

Delves into lol

Fun times!

It feels like no one should have to say this, and yet we are in a situation where it needs to be said, very loudly and clearly, before it’s too late to do anything about it: The United States is not a startup. If you run it like one, it will break.

$1 billion Georgia electric grid updates on hold amid Trump funding freeze A least $1 billion in projects designed to modernize Georgia’s power grid remains in limbo amid President Trump's efforts to freeze certain federal funding.

Despite two court orders, funding from the Infrastructure bill remains frozen. In Georgia it’s $500 million (with local matching funds = $1 billion in frozen projects), mostly for modernizing the electric grid and possibly including repair of the bridge down the street that’s been out since October.

"Silicon Valley built the world" LOL this is what happens when you eliminate history from the high school curriculum and nobody knows about anything that happened more than 10 years ago. I used to talk about this as a wild thought experiment with my students, now here we are.

I think they absolutely realized.

What could go wrong?

This has always been my response when I hear people say they don't know what the "killer app" is. Sure they do. Right now: cheating on college classes. In a year: surveillance.

It would be good to change our bird flu policies and be ready to deploy human vaccines quickly, but a simple solution to the price of eggs is just don't eat them.
