A thing about the heaviest users of chatbots is that they acclimate to cloying obsequiousness. Like a billionaire and their entourage of viziers, it becomes normal to them. Any interaction that is *not* abject simpering they'll now perceive as a slap to the face, an aggressively violent outburst.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."
I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake

By A Horse

Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food.

I am thinking I would like to try cake.

Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape.

Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy.

Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much.

I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You  know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on."

Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

Fantastic Piece. Captures the intense disorientation of living on this planet right now: "Are there limits to what we can normalise? Is there a hard line of enough? How many times can a heart break? And should I pay my car registration renewal before the nuclear Armageddon deadline..."

this piece articulates some really important insights, but I have issues with the core frame presented in this paragraph
By the time the war began, "Al safety" and "alignment" and "hallucination" and "stochastic parrots" had become the terms of every argument about artificial intelligence, structuring and limiting what we could even say.
Worse, "artificial intelligence" itself had come to be synonymous with LLMs.
When the school was bombed, those were the terms people reached for, despite the fact that this critical apparatus offered a poor fit for the older, more mature stack of technologies involved in targeting. The real question, the question almost nobody was asking, is not about Claude or any language model. It is a bureaucratic question about what happened to the kill chain, and the answer is Palantir.

This is just to say, rationing always happens, it's just done by price and it's always, always, always the poorest among us who pay the most. Can't afford to fill it up, always at the mercy of the fluctuating price and at a certain point, you just have to forego.

Inside you there are two dunnarts www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...
Two photos of white-footed dunnarts being held in someone’s hand from the article linked in the post. In the top photo the dunnart is biting the hand ferociously, in the second photo the dunnart is peering over the top of the person’s thumb with enormous, endearing eyes. The dunnart is about the same size and colour as a mouse, but with large bulging eyes, sharp teeth, and a pointed snout.

The caption of the first photo says “A white-footed dunnart is a carnivore, feeding mainly on insects, pictured here at Murramarang National Park on the NSW south coast. (WWF: Vivianna Miritis)”. The caption of the second photo says “The white-footed dunnart is found in several states, pictured here on the NSW South Coast. (WWF: Vivianna Miritis)”.

When we talk about the end of the 'rules based order' we also need to consider that Hegseth, more than anyone, embodies a repudiation of a key norm of that era: killing is inherently bad and you must do as little of it as you can. That's a bigger worry than whether the UN or WTO still matters etc.

In summary: AI rots critical thinking, hallucinates, is shaped by the hyper-wealthy pedos that own it, its data centres guzzle water we can't spare, it will help lay off millions, we can't trust photos anymore & it keeps recommending nuclear war. But yeah, nice memes, dipshits!!

Part of the problems here is that safer, first-generation rodenticides are close to unobtainable now in Australia. Nearly the *whole shelf* at Bunnings is a dangerous owl, quoll and lizard killing second-gen: brodifacoum, bromadiolone, difethialone, difenacoum and flocoumafen. READ THE DAMN LABEL.

It's all an open attempt to shatter what's left of the public and sell it for parts. Unfortunately we are a half century into this counter-revolution, and all our collective institutions are so diminished that we don't feel strong or organized enough to fight them. But fight them we must.

a little cocker spaniel puppy sits on a person’s lap in the driver’s seat of a parked car. the puppy’s fur is sticking up in wacky points on top of her noggin, and her ears are slightly damp, making her curls more prominent. she’s pressing one front paw into the person’s chest as if desperate for reassurance during this trying time.

a brown dachshund is a loaf on a cream-colored sofa. none of his legs or paws are visible. he appears to be biting the corner of his lip, perhaps nervous that he's misplaced all four legs at once.

1. Consent in our pseudo-democracies is strained at the best of times, but it hangs on the belief that there is some kind of justice: through inquiries, tribunals, sometimes even the law, powerful people who commit crimes against us will one day be held to account. But what if this no longer works?🧵
