right, yeah, i do not think that your p(doom) should be zero, just that the _solution space_ they have constructed occurs at the far end of a long series of bad inferences, leading, e.g., OpenAI to declare "there's no point in sandboxing our models because they'll just figure out a way out."

if you wanna play a critically acclaimed Tactical RPG this week and don't have a Switch 2... Fantasy Maiden Wars is 4 amazing games in 1 bundle, a passionate love-letter and primer for Touhou, and is currently 30% off on both Steam and Switch!

Incase you're unaware, the Steam/Switch release of Fantasy Maiden Wars is a collection of *4 games* with a continuing story that carries your data across all 4 games. THIS IS REALLY REALLY GOOD VALUE.

Oh, this is easy. In a two party system, a major party candidate can win regardless of quality (or commitment to democracy). In the US system of primaries, an extremist faction of one party can choose its nominee. Ergo, the two party system enables the election of anti-democratic extremists.

One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

I really do think tech crossed a line at some point between "helping you do the things you want to do" on the one hand, and "helping you do the things tech wants you to do" on the other. At this point, we're all contorting ourselves to live how the tech industry thinks we should be living.

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...
But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.
