Feel like this is broadly correct. AI is hideously immoral and should be illegal. The Third Circuit’s recent decision could well put the big firms out of business, which would be a huge win for humanity. BUT those of you who have convinced yourselves that it’s useless are deluding yourselves.

From J6 insurrection to Schmitt's humiliation, there is a straight line. The latter covered up the former to confuse understanding of Trump's treason. A THREAD.

No one ever went broke underestimating the laziness of humanity. If AI kills us, it’s going to be like the dinosaur episode of Rick and Morty. It’s going to be because we were too lazy to stop it until it was too late.

California just passed a law forbidding lawyers from delegating to AI and requiring them to disclose any use of AI in their briefs. NY has a bill to prohibit AI from dispensing any sort of legal advice. A number of federal judges outright ban it on briefs in their courts. You will see more of this.

Meta doesn't want to be a social media company anymore
Despite an $18 billion settlement to end a nationwide child endangerment lawsuit, the firm clearly no longer sees social media as its main product—or its future.

I’ve been thinking about my brother and crying a lot this morning and thought I’d share a story. I once asked him why, as a pacifist, he joined the military of all things. And he explained that if he didn’t do that, it might have fallen to someone who didn’t care about the lives of innocent people.

Two years ago, I lost my little brother to cancer he got from toxic burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan. I never want any other family to go through what we did. The breakthroughs in cancer research are nothing short of amazing and this country owes it to its troops and citizens to fund more of it.

1. On Monday, the media's focus was on the administration's treatment of the USS Lincoln. But the real story was in plain sight: an aircraft carrier that has been forgotten by the commander-in-chief is a direct consequence of war. Iran defeated America. The Lincoln is part of the aftermath.

This is me, in 2006, with cornrows, really hamming it up in front of wallpaper that was there when we moved in. Also, a show flyer from the Drink at Work comedy show. Alt text includes the names of some of the other comics on the flyer. (5/5)
As noted, I have cornrows. The wallpaper is yellow and flowery. My glasses are very small. Also, I have written LOVE as knuckle tats in the manner of Robert Mitchum (Night of the Hunter) or the brass knuckles of Radio Raheem.

I look very soft despite this.The Drink at Work Show was at Rififi in the East Village back in 2006. Run by Carol Hartsell, Sean Crespo and Craig Baldo. A yellow arrow points me out.

Also on the flyer: Nate Bargatze, Eric Andre, Ophira Eisenberg, Hannibal Buress, Vince Averill (for My Favorite Murder fans). Other friends that I doubt you know but shout 'em out if you see someone.

I’ve said it before but it bears repeating: Joe Biden, while the sitting US President, would FaceTime my little brother and give him pep talks before chemo. Not because my little brother was rich or famous or influential. Because he was a troop who got poisoned by burn pits in Iraq and Joe cared.
