You guys want a drink or something. I think I have diet coke and lemonade and maybe some coffee from this morning. He/him.

We threw open the gates of Heaven and stormed its ramparts, torn the wings from angels and smashed their lyres. We rough and savage things have beaten our chests and roared our mighty yawp at the firmament, all to lay hands upon our creator and ask him why, why, but all we find is an empty throne.

their end vision of the world, and it is the end of the world where they see us, is basically one large fascist military state that is mowing the grass at the border which itself is a semi-occupied state to constantly extract human life for capital. there's not a subtext, they're just saying it.

I know we're all tired of the "they just said it out loud" shtick but it feels noteworthy that the secretary of defense is articulating the Garrison State as an explicit objective of the American christian fascist project.

It’s okay to like low brow art, lord knows I like a lot of it, but don’t do the hit dog hollering thing when someone points out that it’s low brow and formulaic. Do you know how many different Star Trek episodes I could watch about the same general idea?

Sweden should just take 36,000 acres back from him and I'm not joking. Do you know how big a hundred acres is? I do. I have walked a 100 acre property my entire life. It is enormous. 37,000 acres under the sole ownership of one man should never, ever be allowed by any government on earth.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp quietly purchased 37,000 acres of forests in Sweden—and locals found out when hunters lost leases to use the property | Fortune
Cladonia Skog AB, a newly registered company owned by Karp, said it would use the land for “forestry and other related activities.”

Every picture of Kojima looks like he's one of the most successfully integrated aliens that M.I.B. tracks and that they bring him in to teach new groups of fresh aliens how to be a person.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

If rapists actually faced consequences for their actions we wouldn’t have nearly as many rapists. In reality many rapists actually benefit from their actions

Seeing people post about how unfair the “mob justice” against the Cornell rapists is doesn’t really move me when there is no justice for survivors. The system doesn’t work; it enacts further punishment on the victims. Society is even crueler. So spare me the “mob justice” rhetoric about the accused

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

Listening to Naomi Novik's Temeraire series, which is awesome, but also coming to the belated realization that being a marine in the Age of Sail was probably one of the most nightmarish existences humans have ever endured.

Since we’re doing another round of “AI will destroy humanity” doom-hype, it’s a good time to announce a new paper myself and my postdoc advisor just had accepted by BioSocieties on just this. TL;DR: almost all the “AI can make bioweapons” literature comes ultimately from the Effective Altruists.

This is my absolute favorite genre of tech stories. The beautiful thing is that now in the age of AI, these same kinds of things are happening but even the guy building it doesn't understand what's going on under the hood. We are going to see future tech companies fully implode with no explanation.

Did your faith waver? Did your hope diminish, the barest candleflame held against the whirling maelstrom of an unforgiving universe? Take heart, and fortify thyself. For in this dark night of the soul, there are yet signs of the turning of the tide. A new dumpling emerges, and sings of new dawns.
