Obviously Jon Ossoff knows the president isn’t on the midterms ballot and won’t be losing the presidency this November (or ever again). So who’s this for? Is there a large demo of braindead lib who’s going to show up to the polling place in a couple weeks expecting a chance to vote Trump out?

My god. A Virginia data center ran backup diesel generators full blast for 24 hours, creating a giant cloud of toxic smoke that choked its human neighbors. The government claimed there was nothing they could do.

Virginia data center diesel generators ran nearly 24 hours during a Code Red alert, leaving neighbors with no regulatory recourse under current state permits.

You can tell the people setting off the alarms don't really believe their own bullshit from their behaviour. If I really thought my boss was going to end the world I wouldn't be posting on social media, I'd be taking drastic action. This is obvious marketing and it's embarrassing to fall for it.

I think it’s bad that the two most prominent left-leaning politicians in the country don’t feel like they can criticize the cops in their own city when they help the secret police flee the scene of a shooting

The only conversation people are having that’s stupider than “model safety” is “model welfare.” I HOPE they subject us to a whole national news cycle about it so more normies will be exposed to what fucking LOSERS these people are

A thing I learned about Meta when I was trying to understand how their statements relate to their actions a few years ago is that *they just tell absolutely indefensible lies* and journalists almost always let them. They believed no one would ever punish them for it in any way that matters.

AI has lost the Mandate of Heaven I’m afraid. WSJ saying it’s a “when” the ai bubble bursts. SNL dabbing on their biggest names for being weird. FT says 50% of chips sold in 2026 and 2027 have nowhere to go. Hundreds of billions short on revenue for even 10% ROIC. A disaster.

"china is charging their cars in less time than it takes you to fill up your F-150" is the kind of banal jingoism i always assumed would get us finally kicking it up a notch on serious infrastructure buildout but we were a lot more directly addicted to gasoline in addition to racism than i thought

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

one of the 21st century’s great tragedies is seeing a media industry gutted by decisions made by the tech industry elevate a bunch of industry shills as the people meant to help the public understand how tech works and what impacts it’s having on the world
one of the 21st century's great tragedies is that millions of smart people were convinced to bury their heads in the sand by either stochastic parrots discourse or Zitron-style capabilities denialism and haven't updated based on new evidence. nature is healing but it's so late.

There was a guy exactly like this at work - they made him Director of AI ($10 billion dollar company) and then fired him later on when it turned out he had no skills/vision/leadership and a pretty severe case of AI psychosis to boot. He’s still on X Dot Com posting stuff just like this every day
you have to sign up for muse. instinct changes everything. i literally handed my whole life off to town. you're seriously doing that instead of letting hermes handle it? i named my Manus agent greg. i exclusively talk to my wife via hermes. my Claude is literally chatting with the DMV right now via a voice agent. i couldn't live without my fleeb agent. you need to put fleeb on that. go sign up for fleeb. i have 10 invite codees to hand out for fleeb. fleeb is raising at a $100b valuation. fleeb is pivoting. fleeb has shut own, and we are migrating all users to flobe

I don't think what Piker is saying is controversial to anyone outside of DC reporters, who don't even personally find it controversial. They just assume someone will be offended, so they gleefully toss the quotes out to the public. www.axios.com/2026/09/17/h...
