This is why I hate "just a tool" so so so much. You can make a calculator without access to every calculation. You can make photoshop without access to all photos. Someone show me a genai tool that didn't require all of our labour in its production. It's plagiarism software.

never liked the framing that the tech guys are doing some kind of "revenge of the nerds" scenario. these guys aren't nerds. they don't act like they have a nerd's background. they seem to be chuds, who build their idea of masculinity around intelligence rather than strength, and posess neither

Road To Perdition is to this day one of the all-time greatest comic book adaptations. Great story, amazing cast, phenomenal soundtrack.

In San Francisco again after 10+ years and I'm immediately reminded how much I love and miss this city. Not the grifter techbro/AI bullshit but the deeply human connection through the city's architecture, parks, culture, and history. Truly have experienced nothing quite like it in my lifetime

Please read this long but important thread from an immigration defense attorney. If this administration is permitted to scale its current abuse, neglect, and inhumane treatment of immigrants to the breadth and scope for which they’re currently planning, we’ll all be witness to mass atrocities.

I’m starting to think the people who are excited about “AI agents” have literally never used a computer in their lives

OpenClaw is interesting, but will also drain your wallet if you aren't careful.
Last night around midnight I loaded my Anthropic API account with $20, then went to bed.
When I woke up, my Anthropic balance was $O.
Opus was checking "is it daytime yet?" every 30 minutes, paying $0.75 each time to conclude "no, it's still night."
Doing literally nothing, OpenClaw spent the entire balance. How?

The "Heartbeat" cron job, even though literally the only thing I had going was one silly reminder, ("remind me tomorrow to get milk")
1. Sent ~120,000 tokens of context to Opus
4.5
2. Opus read HEARTBEAT md, thought about reminders
3. Replied "HEARTBEAT_OK"
4. Cost: ~$0.75 per heartbeat (cache writes)
The damage:
- Overnight = ~25+ heartbeats
- 25 × $0.75 = ~$18.75 just from heartbeats alone
- Plus regular conversation = ~$20 total
The absurdity: Opus was essentially checking
"is it daytime yet?" every 30 minutes, paying $0.75 each time to conclude "no, it's still night."

“There was a line of children waiting to get treated by medics.” ICE did this. Trump did this. Republicans did this. “Centrist” Democrats who have caved on anti-immigrant bullshit for years did this. Abolish ICE. That’s the minimum.

Hey all, do I have any UK based concept artists following me (or who knows anyone) who would be up for a long term 22 month contract working on Dragonwilds at Jagex? Remote with a very occasional day in office in Cambridge. Development experience and fantasy genre work is a must. Mid level role.

Possible causes of your problems. It’s a diagram that (sadly) still seems relevant in 2025, so reposting a year and a bit on.

Diagram titled 'Possible causes of your problems'. On the left hand side, subtitled 'Yes': Funding removed from local councils, growing gap between rich and poor, multinational companies not paying their taxes, lack of new affordable housing, government not investing sufficiently in schools and healthcare. On the right hand side, subtitled 'No': Picture of small boat, with arrow; 'People fleeing horrific situations that you and I can't imagine'.

Remembering today when pro-GOP media erupted with outrage over Kamala Harris' warning that Trump had plans to militarize the national guard and deploy them on the streets of US cities. Indeed, he had such plans. And now he's implementing them.

My hopes for the almost inevitable K-Pop Demon Hunters sequel: Rumi & the gang find a way into the underworld with the help of Derpy Tiger to find and rescue Jinu. Befriend a nice demon who turns out is her father, which we discover around the time we also realize it was a trap set by Gwi Ma.

Trump launching us into war with Iran is a flagrant abuse of power + an impeachable offense. The Framers were clear with the War Powers Clause in the Constitution: only Congress could take the nation into war. He must be impeached and removed from office. @fsfp.bsky.social www.impeachtrumpagain.org

IMPEACH TRUMP. AGAIN.

Impeach Trump. Sign the petition NOW to defend democracy and demand accountability! He is disqualified from office, and has violated the U.S. Constitution.

“Training” is the wrong word for what LLMs are doing with all those stolen books and artworks. They’re copying, storing, and selling. We should not play along with the use of “training” which deliberately obscures what’s happening.

the leopards are already preparing their feast

Results have already started. This is from an
american woman today: My husband works for a
small manufacturing company and here in
southwestern PA that means most employees are
Trump voters. When the president of the company
sat them down today to tell them their annual
Christmas bonus would not come this year because
they now need to purchase at least a years worth of
products prior to January 21 st due to the proposed
tariffs, they did not understand. My husband said that
their president had to explain what a tariff is and how
it will directly hurt their company. They all thought the
foreign company paid the tariff. This is the level of
ignorance voting against their own interests here in
PA, where we failed American women and children
last night
