He wanted to call on senators and representatives to pass a civil rights bill -- the most sweeping since Reconstruction.  And most of his staff counseled him against it.  They said it was hopeless; that it would anger powerful Southern Democrats and committee chairmen; that it risked derailing the rest of his domestic agenda.  And one particularly bold aide said he did not believe a President should spend his time and power on lost causes, however worthy they might be.  To which, it is said, President Johnson replied, “Well, what the hell’s the presidency for?”  (Laughter and applause.)  What the hell’s the presidency for if not to fight for causes you believe in?

If you apply this kind of logic to any number of bad things, bad corporations, bad governments, you'll end up living in the woods

It feels like AI discourse has shifted to how unprofitable it is, but we have to keep talking about this abhorrent, life-destroying shit that it's routinely used for. You can't use AI for harmless little productivity boosts at work without indirectly funding stories like this.

I'm playing around with Keyboard Maestro shortcuts to quickly launch and or focus on specific apps, using Option+Letter. Should be much snappier than constantly Alt-Tab'ing through open apps.

Good article on the non-zero cost of using AI for writing software siddhantkhare.com/writing/ai-f...
When you always ask AI first, you stop building the neural pathways that come from struggling with a problem yourself. The struggle is where learning happens. The confusion is where understanding forms. Skip that, and you get faster output but shallower understanding.

I now deliberately spend the first hour of my day without AI. I think on paper. I sketch architectures by hand. I reason through problems the slow way. It feels inefficient. It is inefficient. But it keeps my thinking sharp, and that sharpness pays dividends for the rest of the day when I do use AI - because I can evaluate its output better when my own reasoning is warmed up.

Four days ago:
NORAH O'DONNELL: More recently, Americans have been watching videos of ICE tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood, and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these raids gone too far?

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: No. I think they haven't gone far enough because we've been held back by the-- by the judges, by the liberal judges that were put in by Biden and by Obama. We've been held--

NORAH O'DONNELL: You're okay with those tactics?

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Yeah, because you have to get the people out. You know, you have to look at the people. Many of them are murderers.

"ideological flexibility" is a fun euphemism for lying
Record Debt Limit Increase Would Break Republican Precedent
A proposed $5 trillion debt limit increase would underscore the ideological flexibility that many Republicans are willing to embrace when they are in power.
