Now is the moment for us to reach down and pick up the power we have as citizens and rebuke these abuses so decisively that no president will try anything like this again for centuries.

Very helpful look at the intersection of fundamentalist end times fervor and the AI accelerationism happening in the tech world, and why folks both religious and not seem to want to hasten the end of all things.

The problem is even more fundamental. LLMs do not understand causation or logic. They only understand correlation. Which means, even with full token context, they will always have the chance to hallucinate.

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

The fact that The Expanse isn’t even on here at all is a crime. Easily 10x better than Battlestar Galactica. Starting off on the SyFy channel surely didn’t help, but it remains one of the most underrated shows in existence.

The only people loudly identifying as "Heritage Americans" are people who seem to have nothing to be proud of except their ancestry. 😬 Start a hobby. Grow a garden. Knit a blanket. Build a shed. Paint a picture. Accomplish something *yourself* to be proud of.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"
