Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

They're not building Skynet but the important point is that they seem to believe they are building Skynet and somehow that doesn't stop them from continuing to attempt to build it.

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

Lots of reporting on this has been terrible. AI does not equal LLMs, and the way that the "agents going rogue" things has been reported omits lots of very important detail to the extent that the degree to which OpenAI and Anthropic essentially made this happen has been missed.

Following push-back, the NNSA has publicly released the executive summary of a study on plutonium pit aging conducted last summer by the JASON committee. It calls into question NNSA's repeated assertions that pit production is urgently required to "replace aging components in the stockpile"🧵

"Defying 4,200 years of conventional horse-breaking wisdom based on...violent methods of forcing an animal..., Mr. Roberts believed that a horse trained without fear would ultimately be a superior worker and equine companion. Respect and cooperation would inevitably trump forced servitude." 💗

I would be VERY happy with standard time year round! I hate the changes, and I like light in the morning. I strongly suspect that some large fraction of the population thinks that DST adds an hour of sunlight to the days. The days get longer after we change the clocks in the spring, right? 😉

It's easier for media to portray the election as an attack on American Jews than to delve into what NY-10 really was: The second most Jewish Congressional district in the US having a referendum between two Jewish candidates on what it means to do Jewish politics in the age of Trump and Netanyahu.

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes
Because the truth is, tech doesn't have an image problem. It doesn't have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What's wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn't successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What's wrong is that he's trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that's designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn't that you haven't told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them. (
There are things in the world that are more important than money. The fact that you seem not to believe this, that you seem to think any motive beyond ruthless acquisitiveness is fake, dishonest, or childish, is the heart of your problem. Your attitude is not by any means unique to tech, but the
