These are the motherfuckers the New York Times has dredged up to tell us "what we should do about AI"? Oh NYT, don't ever change. You're just as ridiculous as always.

Am I wrong for desperately wanting a Muppet Labs tattoo right now?

Twenty-four years since I defended my dissertation and I still get cranky some days that my Dissertation Chair (whom I loved) didn't allow me to use Benjamin in my analysis as I wanted (he was a dedicated Habermas guy).

Increasingly, I’m of the mind that single purpose devices, old preferably but in some cases new, are the only way forward. When everything became Computer/Slab O’ Glass, that’s when we opened ourselves to trouble.

This is the passage that made me want to throw my phone at the wall. What the author considers “incredibly bizarre” is something some of us have to do *every goddamn day* just to get by. Except our mirror is internal rather than external.

The more advanced I get in my career as a consultant, the more I tend to get this kind of call from clients. I don’t know whether to be flattered or horrified most days.

“Is this what you want for America?” Yes. Yes it is. I just wasn’t expecting the Texas GOP to promote it so hard.

It was probably a mistake to focus on microcredentials over degrees.

Holy shit, Trump has actually convinced Republican voters to get rid of the Republican pushing hardest for the release of the Epstein files. Lotta cognitive dissonance there.

Oh Andy Serkis can just fuck off all the way into the sun. www.msn.com/en-us/movies...

Screenshot of the following text:

Andy Serkis welcomes criticism of new animated ‘Animal Farm’
Backlash to the trailer included one particular sting: “Orwell is rolling in his grave.” But Serkis maintains his estate signed off on the adaptation when he secured the rights. He insists “Orwell would have wanted” controversy.

“He's sort of adored and abhorred by both left and right, and that's the other thing about our film. We're not having a go at any one administration or regime. It's about authoritarianism and our response to that and power corrupting,” Serkis says. “I welcomed it. I loved that debate because that's what it's all about, creating a debate. That's what I do in my job as an actor, storyteller, filmmaker. Any act of creating art for me is about saying to the audience or the viewer, ‘Think about this differently.’ And if you don't agree with me, that's not a problem, but think about it differently."

When he bought the rights, Serkis said the Orwell estate didn’t exert much creative control, only requesting that he not stray too far from what the book is about.

Representatives for the Orwell Estate did not respond to USA TODAY’s request for comment.

I was feeling good for a few minutes about the Bluesky tech folks, but I should have known better, really.

Here’s the creator of that list, who apparently only likes Normies. And anyone who objects to AI, along with Furries, is clearly Not A Normie. You see what I mean about the people running this site actively hating its user base.

Once again, in the wake of the Mastodon DDoS issues, I see a lot of this going on today On Here. I will never understand the defense of Bluesky leadership. ATProto as a protocol, sure. Atmosphere as a community, sure. Bluesky as a company? Fuck no.

Christopher S. Rice, Ph.D. @badfutures.com · 17/04/2026

I've said this before and I'll say it again, the Atmosphere nerds on this site are beginning to smell like a cult. Just incapable of accepting that the people running this place 1) probably hate them, 2) hate the site (but love the protocol), and 3) are not honest when things go badly.
