everybody gets digital mummies, lifeless nth-order approximations (as are we all), and the most wifeless neckbeards ever will chime in chorus "our consciousnesses have been DIGITALLY UPLOADED, we're gonna live forever maaan" (digital soul lost to data corruption, under/over, 20 years)

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

People keep saying I’m “brave” for speaking out, which is sweet, but if you saw this like I did you’d know that it’s much, much, scarier to sit quietly.

I love how tech keeps going back to humanoid robots even though literally any other design would be safer, more useful, and more stable for personal use. "no it has to be a SERVANT," screams the reptile hindbrain

not a new observation but Elon Musk genuinely isn't very bright, genuinely has no idea how most things work, and his entire supergenius engineer persona is a tech press-enabled mythology (they've never been held accountable for)

Twitter exchange in which a user makes fun of Musk for not understanding how SQL works and falsely claiming the government doesn't use SQL

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

Generative AI is essentially copy paste but with large datasets analyzed probabilistically. Maybe that's useful but it's not intelligence and doesn't justify the absurd amounts of investment it's attracted

The TikTok ban represents the most significant and widespread deplatforming of creators in American internet history. It far surpasses Vine's closure in 2017 in both scale and impact, and stands to permanently reshape the ideological tilt of the online creator landscape.
