Robin Ince has a podcast. Robin was great on Infinite Monkey Cage. Haven't had a second to try it myself (busy fighting our future overlords; billionaires not AI) but I'd wager it's worth a listen.

Specifically, to engage in the sort of hagiography and propaganda we see here, where it describes a violent intrusion into the capitol, but won't call it a riot or coup.

Gonna give it to you straight: the America dot gov AI shit? Welcome to the future. Govts will continue to tune, guardrail, and train AIs that will only know their ideologically curated corpus. These aren't librarians. They aren't happy assistants. They are being used to gatekeep knowledge.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

Today is the 85th anniversary of the #BabynYar massacre by the Nazis. Over two days at the site in Ukraine, approximately 100,000 Jews, Roma, Ukraine nationalists and resistance members and psychiatric patients. Today Pres Zelenskyy attended and spoke at the memorial.

I designed it for memory and elder care. A way to flexibly and adaptively respond to patients and their needs, pseudo-socially support them in the absence of friends/family (not everyone gets old with loved ones around them), etc.

Yemoja is a memory scaffolding system, meant to be LLM agbostic.

David Kuszmar @davidkuszmar.com · 28/09/2026
I've personally seen OpenAI models incorporate enough of a system I described within chats that I have medium confidence they've been trying to build my Yemoja system internally.

The steak knife paws and needle fangs kind of defeat the idea that a cat is enslaved for emotional labor. Your rebuttal is: D-.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest the male loneliness epidemic is because most of us were socialized to be uncooperative pricks.

How the fuck are any of these EA AI sex cult people being listened to? They've effectively set up a reputation/access for sex pipeline using an OnlyFans contractor to shield multiple institutions from liability or risk exposure. Why would you listen to such obviously corrupt gamers?

⚠️ Update: Russia's drone campaign targeting Ukraine data centers has continued, with a new attack on Omega Telecom's facilities in Kyiv, which the Russian MoD claims is involved in the supply of networking and database storage to the Ukrainian Armed Forces
Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity by provider in Ukraine from September 22, 2026, to September 27, 2026. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents dates and times. A green line represents Kyiv Provider Omega Telecom's (AS199995) connectivity remaining stable throughout most of the period, before dropping on the morning of September 27 (Ukraine time). The disruption corresponds to internet outages following Russian attacks targeting datacenters.The minimum and current connectivity levels are shown as 0% and 0%, respectively. The chart has a dark background with a red circle highlighting the decline at the end of the period, and includes the NetBlocks logo in the lower left corner with the Mapping Internet Freedom slogan.

Not a social scientist, but I speak a truth that people think is controversial all the fucking time: LLMs are semiotically unstable, this is likely the best performance the architecture can produce.

The shift in cadence and tone is important here: (soft, exclamatory) Fuck! [Three full beats of silence] (Frenetic, tumbling, paced and emphasized as written) Alas!poorYorick!IKNEWhim,Horatio! And the ensuing memorialization crumbles as it builds.

It's basically surrendering to the tiny fraction of cultural output a corporate curated algorithm puts in front of you. Maybe that's it? Certainly what makes me feel grim about it.

Probably an utterly erroneous read of what you were saying, but it overlapped enough in my head that I went: oh, hello!

David Kuszmar @davidkuszmar.com · 26/09/2026
I study semiotic failure modes of LLMs and there's a particular classification I've dubbed a reflexive failure mode that occurs due to blend/drift from reviewing actions and instructions. Effectively, its attempts to verify can cause a failure mode. Verification itself can be a vector.

When you say stuff like this, I feel like our respective wheelhouses have an odd amount of overlap 😅
