Iโ€™m sure youโ€™re right. โ€œThis isnโ€™t a one shot game, we just play again with the next generationโ€ feels very on brand

My thoughts on a major reason why the DOGE mindset is bad. If you thoughtlessly f*ck about at this intersection then you will find out.

Is anyone maintaining some kind of simplified account of whatโ€™s happening in the US? I canโ€™t tell what matters and whatโ€™s noise (which I assume is deliberate) and want a scant โ€œin ten years we will see that this stuff matteredโ€ timeline or something (obv itโ€™ll be speculative).

Facebook is truly broken at this point. This is about 60% of my feed now - โ€œlook at this things thatโ€™s obviously AI. I know no one will praise me for making itโ€. Is it just a scam victim recruitment pipeline now?

I asked ChatGPT to generate 5000 random numbers between 1 and 10 and then simulate 5000 humans choosing numbers between 1 and 10โ€ฆ yeah, it knows us

I swear to God, if I see one more person excuse Musk's absolute and undeniable support of fascism, obviously not meaning @stevepeers.bsky.social, because "he is autistic" I will lose it. Amazingly I've managed to make it 43 years on this planet as an autistic individual without supporting the Nazis.

I donโ€™t have anything profound to say but I need to say something because that was a Nazi salute and silence isnโ€™t an option
