I keep trying to think of any historical example where a given technology's PROMOTERS AND TRUE BELIEVERS were like 'we are absolutely going to ruin your fucking life so be prepared like it's the end of the world'
Andrew Curran: Axios is reporting that the top labs are wargaming scenarios for the aftermath of a catastrophic event in the next 6 - 12 months, that some executives now see as being inevitable.

Axios: Top executives at Anthropic, OpenAl and other Al companies are privately gaming out scenarios for a public and political revolt after a catastrophic AI event.
Why it matters: These officials anticipate a large-scale event, most likely a cyberattack, that shuts down access to financial services, internet connectivity, or even power and water.

Edouard Harris: This is our view as well. Relatedly, average people will want to increase their level of personal resilience and preparedness as their resources allow. We will be publishing about this soon.

Nick Farina: Best ways to be prepared? Generators, water, books and DVDs?

Edouard Harris: Power, water, food, sanitation for most part. Parts of this depend on your geo latitude - solar vs propane for eg.

But also: set aside a computer that is not (and ideally has never been) connected to the internet. Buy faraday pouches and tape. Print out essential docs on paper.

Thank you! I was ranting about this ever since I saw it. Genuinely the stupidest headline I think I've ever seen--especially calling it a SCOOP. Oh, it's a scoop, is it? Are you proud of yourselves??

Also do the honest work of eliminating any trace of plagiarism in your beloved product. How? Not my fucking problem! If you can’t run your business / technology without stealing other people’s work, it deserves to die. Personally I’m happy to see it die, so don’t try to make it my responsibility.

The BEST thing that true believers in AI could do is stop evangelizing to people, like me, who think it sucks. Do the hard, years-long work of detaching your beloved technology from the worst people in the world right now: shameless fascists driven by greed and domination. They’re YOUR partners.

Wake up, babe, a new 'basic humanity' poll is out
A push poll this Pittsburgher received about immigration. The question is 'For each of the following, please indicate whether you think this is an acceptable part of immigration enforcement, or whether it goes too far.'
This user chose 'goes too far' for each of the questions.

Immigration agents detaining or arresting
U.S. citizens who film or protest an immigration raid

Immigration agents not being held accountable for deadly use of force

Immigration agents using deadly force during a routine traffic stop

People not receiving adequate medical care and dying in detention centers

Immigration agents using deadly force against someone who is not armed

Immigration agents carrying out raids without body cameras or visible identification

This is yet another example of how when you have enough money and fame you can AFFORD to ignore the differences between yourself and, say, a Trump supporter. Likely nothing that guy will do can actually hurt you, so why not make a solidarity track?? ffs

This is apropos of nothing but I continue to kick myself for nuking the folder I had in summer 2024 of Trump's hand pics, showing all the patches and makeup they were using to disguise the back of it JUST like this. It's been happening since before he was re-elected.

It's natural human empathy to feel bad for someone who is suffering. She's suffering NOW and the conversation is about her suffering. It is possible, perhaps preferable, to care when people suffer even if they've done horrid things. To do otherwise implies that there's a line; human? not human?

Truly, the first time I've read an AI critique that ties into cultural competency, and I'm honestly embarrassed I never considered that angle (mostly because I find using it to be morally radioactive to begin with).

I think 'retcon' is kind of a misnomer if seen as negative. Genuinely, Steve Rogers should not have STOLEN Peggy Carter and split off into an AU like he did. Every MCU film has after effects, that's how a shared film universe works?! They just didn't want to put the clips into Brand New Day, IMO.

I made minimum wage when I was 19 in my first job. We all got 'a raise' when it went up a few cents while I was working there. If I'm remembering what it was correctly, current minimum wage is about $2 more than it was back then. I am now 47.

JD Vance gave Politico information anonymously. Politico reported the information. The White House cited Politico’s reporting of Vance’s information as part of its justification for banning Politico. Then Vance defended the ban. This is some 1930s Germany Twilight Zone shit.
