Here for this team-up! 😂

A little learnin’ goes a long way… to not being a moron/dickhead.

Incredible. The Dollar General version of the opening of Saving Private Ryan.

There is a new Chotiner interview that really underscores what is unique about Israel's genocide in Gaza: it would be very easy for the world to stop it if only a few countries wanted to.

Not just paramilitary, secret police.

*Bounty hunting* paramilitary, secret police.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

Honestly, a lot of countries should just consider a boycott at this point.

Over 90 pages of "Alligator Alcatraz" files disappeared as I was looking at them and reporting on the situation. Our public records requests are getting stonewalled. A slew of experts told me this all seems to be illegal. talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/th...

AI Models Are Sending Disturbing "Subliminal" Messages to Each Other, Researchers Find When AI models are finetuned on synthetic data, they can pick up "subliminal" patterns that can teach them "evil tendencies," research found.

telling people "you will have to be killed in a hurricane because of israel" is definitely going to make them like israel more

un. fucking. believable.

Radical abundance for whom?

The claim that the Israeli government is ethnically cleansing the West Bank is somehow inaccurate or inflammatory is utterly insane.

Settlers routinely engage in murder and arson to get Palestinians to leave where they’ve living. That’s the textbook definition of ethnic cleansing.

One of the hardest things I’ve grappled with over the past nine months or so is the death of “normal”. There’s no normal to go back to. There’s just *this* and whatever we make of what comes next

Every day I become more convinced that Silicon Valley's long-term viability depends on instilling a culture similar to the U.S. government in one respect: Whereas the government relies on civilian control over the military, the tech industry should rely on humanities control over the technology.

There's nothing Stalinist about this at all.

Not long after Musk took over Twitter, I wrote about lost cities, the dead internet, and the demon-haunted online landscape. I can't call it prescient, because the writing was already on the wall

The Mask of Sorrow is a monument located on a hill above Magadan, Russia, commemorating the many prisoners who suffered and died in the Gulag prison camps in the Kolyma region of the Soviet Union during the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s.

Ok that time may have just arrived

My prediction is that in that scenario, he blames the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which puts out employment data. Calls them corrupt, run by Democrats, out to get him. Fires people there, insists their numbers cannot be trusted, White House puts out its own fictitious data to make Trump look good

Deskilling is real.

This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service.
