one skepticism i have right now with the sort of AI agents that are supposed to automate regular-person everyday tasks is that most of the info i can think of that might be useful to aggregate is pretty strictly siloed for good reasons (medical stuff, school stuff, financial stuff, etc)

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

There's a new wave of Democratic ads across the country that are somehow brutally partisan and incredibly effective and it's going to take some time for me to get used to this?

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

The industry being run by Zuck, Musk, and Sam Altman (3 guys who have never made shit and either bought or stole their way in) with backing from Trump and the GOP. Are you really trying to sell me that this isn't a house of cards scam? Are you that gullible?

That's funny because I feel the same way about smart and well-intentioned people falling for a scam being perpetrated by Silicon Valley guys who have done nothing but run scams that made them rich after the tech press told everyone that these guys were geniuses.

Took a (very) rainy walk through the Loop tonight. I was absolutely soaked, but my camera stayed dry enough.

Someone should tell President Trump that the best way to turn the Iran War around and stick it to the Democrats this fall is to have Pete Hegseth lead an infantry charge that they'll air on live TV.

My politics have changed a lot over my adult life, so I'm generally not overly confident in my political opinions. I'm likely still naive and wrong about a lot of things! But I've never wavered on this. I know to the depths of my soul that I'm right. The death penalty is a stain on our society.

These sweeping statements about more work being like software engineering that people realize and “all service work can be automated” immediately hits me as 1) a claim that can be tested and 2) one that hasn’t been sufficiently tested. But they all just blithely accept it.

Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day
