I think too much, but sometimes it comes in handy. "Any pronouns" in my case means "surprise me". I don't click Substack links. Profile picture adapted from art by Don Cabanza.

I frankly don't care if AI "understands" anything. Give me a useful definition of that term – not just one that logically coheres, but one that is actually *applicable* to reach important conclusions – and then I might care.

Rationalists warn us that, if you give AI a goal, it will ignore all unstated moral rules in pursuit of that goal. It's willing to kill to make paperclips. But then they endorse a moral philosophy with exactly the same failure modes! They themselves are the paperclip maximizers they warn us about!

I'm not/have never been a rationalist, and my safety worries are primarily of the form "you'd best be careful what you ask of the wish-granting genie", but I'm really not a fan of using character assassination (and dare I say: some slutshaming) to promptly dismiss the ideas they're associated with

Individual responsibility at a large scale is one of the most nonsensical, denialist pillars of contemporary liberalism. If the voting base has a significant contingent of "Bernie or bust" voters, the smart move is to acknowledge and confront that reality.

Over six months, we tracked the appearance of child sexual abuse material on X. We found images from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's database, which is considered one of the most highly vetted and which many tech companies block on upload. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/11/t...

Reviews by the Canadian Center for Child Protection and The New York Times found that explicit images of children remain on the social media site owned by Elon Musk.

The person saying AI may well kill us is working in alignment and safety. This is exactly the work they *should* be doing if they believe that. Saying that person shouldn't make AI is not a sensible response, because that's not what that person does.

A strong stance of "AI thinks" or "AI doesn't think" requires a clear definition of "thinking" and a strong argument for why that definition is correct for thinking things besides AI (like humans). Arguments from intuition aren't enough here.

I don't understand why people aren't capable of just writing exactly what an image shows for their alt text. What does a viewer need to notice to understand the point of the image? Just describe that.

My copy of the canned response from 1password was sent by someone with a director title, so I think it's safe to say they're both a) flooded with angry emails and b) worried about it. If you're a 1pw user and haven't already, I'd really encourage you to contact them (support@1password.com)

Starbucks Workers United @sbworkersunited.org · 25/08/2026
🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:
BOYCOTT STARBUCKS is written inside a zig-zaggy speech bubble against crumbled paper. Beside it are the Starbucks Workers United logo and an image of a coffee cup being poured out.We, the 12,000 and growing members of Starbucks Workers United, call on everyone who stands with working people to boycott Starbucks until they finalize a contract with union baristas and stop union-busting.
What we’re fighting for is simple: a minimum $17/hr wage, enough hours to live on, better staffing in our stores, and basic workplace protections. Every year, our living costs rise but our wages don’t keep up – a growing pressure many American workers are feeling as corporate greed accelerates unchecked in our country. 
Starbucks is banking on customers' blind loyalty to the integrity and values this company once stood for in order to keep squeezing them for profits. At a time when working-class people across the country are struggling in a challenging economy, it is no longer possible to be both a Starbucks customer and in support of workers; choosing to spend money at Starbucks is choosing a law breaking corporation over the baristas who make your coffee everyday exactly as you ask for it.
Starbucks has violated U.S. labor law more than any other company in modern history–the NLRB and its judges have found that Starbucks committed hundreds of labor violations and there are currently more than 550 unresolved unfair labor practice charges still pending against the company. Instead of finalizing a fair and reasonable union contract, Starbucks has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of care for the workers who fuel the company’s profits by wasting millions of dollars on AI and technology that doesn’t work, launching countless gimmicky drinks designed to distract from real problems, and inventing pointless policies that do nothing but make our jobs harder. 
This ongoing, irrational behavior by Starbucks and its refusal to settle a fair union contract with workers leaves us with no other choice than to call for a boycott. We know when working people stand up together, we win. 
No Contract? No Coffee.

The modern American framing for everything is that no problem is so great that it cannot be overcome by going directly to the manager and complaining and when that fails, throwing a bomb at the problem. Lab leak theories the way that urge manifested for COVID-19.

The people who talk about AI like it's actually capable of replacing engineers must be using models from years in the future, because the only time I see high quality output from it is when it's used by a skilled engineer in a tight feedback loop
