finally, a parenting technique so unethical that the early psychology researchers who fed drugs to circus animals and locked teenagers in simulated blacksite prisons would be like “mmmm, better not”

the real lesson of the Harlow monkey experiments was that cloth mother should have simply installed an AI bedtime story reading agent into the wire mother so she’d have more time for vibe coding and posting on Substack

I'm really sad y'all. I did not go into trans journalism to make "Dem capitulates on trans rights" my daily beat. It was a much better environment when I could count on everyone in our party, even the red state dems, to present a wall on this stuff. It just feels so bleak.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

A couple years ago, people were confidently telling me that by now, all entertainment would be AI generated. I said I didn’t think that would ever happen, because even if people are idiots, they aren’t going to connect with soulless slop. I feel fairly vindicated.

One of the weird realities of America is that the GOP-aligned people get away with describing all media and institutions as hopelessly liberal-biased when they actually ruthlessly control basically all of them, and then they use that power to broadcast “democrats are always bad and GOP always good”

related: when a student asks, "when will i ever need to know ${abstract_topic_from_math/science/literature/etc}", one possible answer is, "you might not, but if you make honest efforts in exercises like this, it will improve your ability to detect bullshit, and that's an important survival trait."

The entire right wing ecosystem, from politics to media to business, is just for-profit contrarianism. The formula is: they name a real shortcoming of the imperfect status quo and once they got you they sell you horseshit that's much, much worse

I don't know how but we have to teach people to be better at detecting bullshit. Instead we have this ersatz skepticism where people are suspicious about the wrong things and find their way to conclusions that are worse than if they just blindly accepted conventional wisdom

Alex cooked with this entire thread. The process of making things is what's enjoyable. My first website was hand-coded with HMTL and CSS. I taught myself how I took that same skill and molded the chat widget on my Twitch streams to look like an iPhone w/text bubbles. I made the entire widget myself

It's why I'm baffled by the number of emails I get promising to make all the hard work of making videos go away using AI. Here's a bold notion: I like the hard work. I like the process of making things. That's why I do what I do.

Clearly there's little to no passion or love behind such a thing. The process should be part of the joy, and if you're fobbing it off to the plagiarism machine then the actual creation doesn't interest you, which is incredibly sad.

Did you know you only need a small brain to make silly little drawings?

4 panel comic: Panel 1: pink blob guy on a table, pencil in their hands. Grey circle on a piece of paper and a glass of water on the table. They say “look here” Panel 2: Proudly, they hold up the drawing of a grey blobby character on two stick legs up in the air. The pink blob says “I drew this!” Panel 3: Satisfied they sit back down on the table. They now go “it’s not much, but..” The grey drawing looks a bit peeved because the drawer is calling it “not much” Panel 4: But it’s okay, because now the pink blob is very pleased finally. He says “it came from my brain!” Holding the pencil up. The grey drawing blob is happy again, too. End well, all well!

And while ICE must be abolished, if everyone goes back to their brunches while cops murder Black people in urban areas and torture Indigenous people in rural ones, I will lose it.

I cannot stress enough that ICE is acting the way cops have acted for years. These are just "starlight tours" for Indigenous teens applied to the rest of the population.
