Good God, that's a devastating analogy! When I first read about those monkey experiments as a college student, I felt sick for days. Shit, shit, shit, shit, SHIT!

I agree. In the delightful event that Democrats take back the House and the Senate, impeaching Hegseth, RFK, Patel, and Vought is where to start. Then Kananaugh. Trump will see the wave coming, and bail w/o a single vote. Or he'll have a stroke. But Rahm needs to be put on a slow boat to China!

Well, Hell! What is this, the 1950's coming back with Sheldon's assistance? The "Peaceful Atom"? WTF!!! This is the world's stupidest way to boil water, especially since we can now just scoop electricity out of the sky, and we don't even need Peroskivite to do it!

Posted this elsewhere, but I'll re-post 'cause it's fun: Anthropic and the "AI" techbros are bringing a butter knife to an intellectual sword fight with the Vatican, when this is the team the Vatican is fielding:

This needs to be addressed immediately in the next Congress. It will be popular with both Red and Blue voters, will assist both Red and Blue representatives when it passes, and discourage these "AI" lampreys from parasitizing our public funds.

Lamprey, a waterborne parasite that saps the strength from a variety of fishes and sea creatures. A vampire of the rivers and oceans.

Such excessive amounts of money! But not even close to what he promised the Republicans he'd give them! Do you suppose that he, too, has sniffed the wind and decided to jump overboard?

Ship's rats jumping overboard to get away from the S.S. Trump!

Mr. Grimmelmann has inadvertantly happened upon the perfect metaphor for why "AI" bots/agents should not be entrusted with any real world tasks, at least for anyone who's had a baby during the last 30 years!

Insanely popular and hilarious book by author and artist Mo Willems (2003) about a pigeon who will beg, scam, importune, and emotionally manipulate you into letting him drive the bus. Calamity ensues.

Jensen Huang doesn't give a fat rat's ass about what happens to anybody but himself. Like all the other "AI" tech oligarchs, he's not an engineer, he's a lamprey:

Good Lord, what does she need "security" for? She's a lamprey -- they can defend themselves! I urge every ptriotic American to chivvy this woman with other lawsuits, indignities and expenses until she feels like she's being nibbled to death by ducks!

Chase them all to Argentina ad then hunt them down there! (Where they won't be harmed, but they'll be harassed and their $$ taken away.) Let's see Peter Thiel working in a curio shop in Buenos Aires!

When we drift away in time from his last anti-factual deranged declaration, I always forget that there's going to be another one! And then I go through this again:

Honestly baffled by this. Did the DNC suddenly grow a spine? Should somebody check on them? Has the spirit of the late but largely unlamented Scott Adams been visiting?

Except LLMs don't do that. They're just planet-killing correlation engines. They don't think; they only provide a simulacrum of thinking. They're a giant, planet-eating ELIZA program.

If I could, I would re-post this on automatic, indefinitely. 200,000 kids lost their Food Stamps in Arizona alone, and these people are bitching about paying a tax on their second home in the city?

Hey Karyn (spelling?,) my Mom, my 6-year old self, my 7-year old brother easily navigated a number of accidental encouters with protests, including tear-gas and beanbag launchers, driving in a '70s Chevy Impala convertible. It was exciting! Nobody is going to hurt *you*. They detest the Government.

Oh, this is one of the most aggrieving food safety failure sources & it's been going on since I was a newlywed living in CA. As it gets hotter, providing farm workers not ONLY with good portapotties and adequate bathroom breaks but ALSO plenty of fresh cool water and shade is even more crucial now.

Marisa Kabas and Jamelle Bouie are right -- about Platner, about the Democratic pundit class, especially Ken Klippenstein, who twisted themselves into knots intellectually/morally and worked to shame those who were seeing red flags wave madly re: Platner and only said: "Uh, guys, this is a problem."

Excerpt from Kabas' posting in The Handbasket about Platner. The most important point ends with the phrase, "...lives the values he presents." Cannot recommend her July 8th essay from The Handbasket more highly!
