I think one delusion we need to end is “protest voters” of any sort.

The false equivalency of the left and the right is one of the most dangerous thing political talking heads are doing right now.

“They can take out a city. Let ‘em take out Los Angeles let ‘em take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay,” has got to be the most 25th amendment thing anyone COULD ever say. Like if this isn’t it the 25th isn’t real.

Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Not me panic searching Denmark and Greenland confirmations that the deal is exactly what he thinks it is. His version sounds like more control than what’s in place today. But is that the version being floated to sign?

that the bloc has “safety safeguards for our citizens when it comes to the development and deployment of artificial intelligence in the EU” can’t be the answer. You don’t, because safety implies you can prevent a rogue attack before it happens not litigate it after its damage is done. #AI

Yes, the AI slowdown hype by the ones that made the dangerous AI could well be a ruse to inflate AI labs’ values ahead of IPOs or predetermine AI regulation of frontier models through self regulatory frameworks that are amiable compared to legislation, and yet the lackluster response by the EU

This cover is so incredibly daft @nytimes.com mag. Taxing the rich is not controversial, not socialist (FYI social democracy, socialism, not the same!), the majority supports taxing the rich by a wide margin, and you’re fear mongering over Dems. The insane problems we have and this is the angle?? 🤮

It's notable that when Belarus/Russia did this to Poland, other EU countries didn't respond by blaming Poland. They blamed Belarus/Russia. No mystery why Europe's governing conservatives are blaming the EU's only leftist prime minister.

I work at Google DeepMind. This won't make me popular. But it's all public reporting: 2014: DeepMind reportedly sold to Google on conditions: no military use, independent oversight 2026: a Pentagon contract for "any lawful government purpose" Not one safeguard survived intact
Collage titled "Trust is not Governance — an essay from inside Google DeepMind, written in personal capacity." 

A 2014 memorandum, "Conditions of the Acquisition," lists: military applications of DeepMind technology banned; deployment decisions before an independent ethics board (as reported in Mallaby's The Infinity Machine). 

Red threads lead to a 2026 U.S. Department of Defense agreement for classified networks reading "any lawful government purpose," with safety settings and filters adjusted at the government's request and no contractor veto (reported terms, The Information, Apr. 2026).
