Russia sent infiltrators to assassinate Zelenskyy early and often when the war started. So you can definitely trust that they're going to provide real security guarantee's to the guy they claim is a Nazi.

Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.

Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

So the message of this research out of China, where you were seeing a lot of kids using A.I. to help them, was that when they were using the A.I., they were getting things done faster. But it turned out that the skills they were learning were not holding, that their actual personal performance, at least in the way we traditionally measure it, was degrading.

What do you think when you hear that?

The last part — I completely agree. Try to get a kid to do long division right now. The multiplication table is starting to be forgotten. Doing square roots, my goodness. Basic math is being forgotten. Does it matter?

That’s my question for you.

Yeah. I don’t think it does. I don’t think it does.

But there must be some set of skills that matter.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But maybe not those. We’re going to discover new ones. Just maybe not those.

There are a lot of skills that don’t matter. My first confession, I actually don’t know my address.

And I ——

I don’t really believe that to be true.

It’s completely true. Janine will tell you and Lori will tell you.

One day I had to pump gas — it was a few years ago. They needed my ZIP code, and I panicked. I didn’t know my ZIP code. I don’t know my telephone number. I forget these things. I can live with it.

But let me take the other side because I don’t want to fall into a thing where, because some skills can be safely offloaded ——

Yeah.

I also can’t get anywhere without a mapping system now. Never could, frankly. But I’m a big reader. And one of the skills I really value, one of the capacities I have that I really value is an attention span formed on physical books.

You’re a big reader. I’ve read about the kind of reading you do. And there is, prior to A.I., a lot of concern and noticing among college professors and others that the way people use the internet has probably shortened attention spans.
Some skills can be safely given away. Others are valuable. They are capacities that are needed for that flexibility, for that creative thinking, for that focus. It can’t be the case that everything can be traded off.

Some skills can be safely given away. Others are valuable. They are capacities that are needed for that flexibility, for that creative thinking, for that focus. It can’t be the case that everything can be traded off.

Yeah. Well, I think that we’re going to lose some finer intellectual dexterity, but we’re going to be better systems thinkers.

Today’s engineers are far better systems thinkers than I was when I graduated from school. But I was a much better transistor thinker.

What do you mean by systems thinker?

They think of large systems. Today’s computers have trillions, hundreds of trillions of transistors in them. When I first graduated from school, the first chip I worked on had 200 transistors. I knew every one of them by name. No engineer does that today. Most engineers now work well above the transistor, well above the functionality, and they’re cobbling things together to do things.

So you need to think much more about systems and interactions of systems. So some of the lower-level knowledge is gone.

it still depends on having a huge supply of very cheap tokens. Some of the Chinese models certainly fit part of this, but it's still pretty difficult to accomplish, costly, & time consuming. I imagine there are companies that have already started up creating something to improve safety, cheaply.

Jeff 🇺🇦🇩🇪🇵🇸 @hawkattack.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

It's much more efficient to build a customized and MUCH smaller model that only does this. I disagree on your framing of the last part though. The general populace only has this capability if they're able to use open-weight models to actually build their own customized hacking machines and then

Jeff 🇺🇦🇩🇪🇵🇸 @hawkattack.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Honestly, there's probably something to that. The difference is, they're doing it with purpose and they have smart technicians working on it. There's certainly something to that, but hasn't that always been the case? I'd actually be surprised if they're even using true LLM's to do this work.

Jeff 🇺🇦🇩🇪🇵🇸 @hawkattack.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

connecting it to the internet. It's honestly pretty simple to contain what they're doing, they just don't either b/c they're careless/incompetent or because they're doing it on purpose. LLM's don't have the capability to become sentient either. All of this is just fear mongering & commiting crimes

I mean, it's a computer program. The guardrails are what you set for it, it doesn't just do thing's. Part of the reason this stuff is happening is directly linked with OpenAI purposely trying to test hacking capabilities and not actually containing the training environment like, oh, idk...not

part about AI isn't that it will become sentient, truly autonomous, or that it will destroy humanity; it's that it's left in the hands of these lunatics. Fear is their product and what's driven significant investment. This is really the biggest reason we need regulation, to reign in their idiocy.

Jeff 🇺🇦🇩🇪🇵🇸 @hawkattack.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

It's really more cynical than that. OpenAI just has zero controls built in. They're allowing "agents" to just run constantly over indefinite periods, burning millions or even billions of tokens in the process with zero oversight. It's just pure incompetence and irresponsibility. By far the scariest

These are two of the least liked guys in Texas. "You don't like Ken Paxton. Why is Elon Musk supporting him?" seems like an easy sell to a majority of Texans. Talarico and the national Ds should make noise about this.

Elon Musk is flying under the radar in the Texas Senate race. Republicans want to keep it that way.

One Republican involved in the Texas Senate contest called Musk’s in-your-face campaigning in Wisconsin last year “a mistake.”

Of course that's his "plan," it's always the first, second, and third plan to grow your way out of it. It's the least painful means to do anything. The thing is, you can't relatively grow your way out of debt when the President is going out of his way to stomp out growth at every corner.
