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.”

If the big tech guys really believed in AI danger and wanted to faithfully regulate it, why would they put so much money and effort into getting the least trustworthy and most evil people in living memory elected?

The era defining feature has been the right's embrace of cruelty as a primary political tactic. There is truly no justification for this beyond having convinced themselves of their own unimpeachable superiority.

The story some of us have been waiting for a long time. It doesn’t disappoint and there are some jaw-droppers. Kudos to the three reporters who produced it, because the daily can’t. The closer is too perfect, a gift from interviewee to interlocutor.

Not even pretending, the first time I heard of this song was when articles popped up about it claiming a billboard record. I guess it does say something about us, but not that I'm a hermit hipster or anything.

The thing about trying to appeal to right wing bigots is that right wing bigots are all stupid idiots who get 100% of their news from propagandists so they will never actually find out that you were trying to appeal to them in the first place

ok I'll go into detail... this is simulation uses modeled preference and turnout, trained on election and demographic data--not polling. if the vote ends up ~2 pts better for Dems than a typical year (either from people flipping or from who shows up) the race is a toss-up. at +5 pts, it's a lock.

lot of people have ossified thoughts about Chapo and what they were ten years ago, but I remain adamant that they have been EXCELLENT covering the genocide in Gaza (mostly Will and Felix) and the protests movements here. And this is proof that shit absolutely does matter to Palestine. Great job Will
Muhmmed Project - @ProjectMuhmmed
My dear brother William @willmenaker
Today, we did not send you an ordinary message of gratitude. Instead, we decided to write our gratitude on the walls of Gaza itself.
The young members of Project Mohammed painted your portrait on one of the walls still standing amid the destruction, because your voice has never been merely distant words to us.
Here, your voice has become water for thirsty children, bread for hungry families, and meals for people exhausted by hunger.
The war may have destroyed the buildings around us, but it could never erase the gratitude in our hearts. We wanted your portrait to remain here, among the people you stood beside during the most difficult days of their lives.
When the children saw the mural, we told them:
"This is William—a man who may be far away, but whose heart is very close to Gaza. His voiceWhen the children saw the mural, we told them:
"This is William—a man who may be far away, but whose heart is very close to Gaza. His voice helped bring you water and bread."
This is not simply a portrait on a shattered wall. It is a message from Gaza to you:
You did not witness our suffering and remain silent.
You helped the world see and hear us.
Because of you, our team has been able to give thousands of families a measure of hope and life.
From the children of Gaza, the young members of Project Mohammed, and the depths of our hearts: thank you, brother. You have become part of the story of this place, and your impact will remain engraved in our hearts—even if these walls disappear one day.
Support Project Mohammed directly:
