Maybe we can get a real GM or has AJ once again done the bare minimum to have “aura” because he also hired Pat Murphy once

U-T sports quips of the future from the top sports minds of San Diego -my grok tells me the chargers never left. Maybe it reads my heart better than even I do -something about the autumn breeze in late season baseball feels like a sin. My attention should’ve long ago turned to the chargers

They exist in a purgatory where they visit the same Chik Fil A every day, where everything stays the same except their aging body and the sign reminding them how long it’s been since they last felt alive

Driving me crazy that a lot of very smart people aren't entertaining the idea that the **AI might kill us all** narrative is kabuki theater -- orchestrated by some of the world's richest people, whose net worth is tied up in people believing their technology is just on the cusp of super intelligence

An absurdly high percentage of AI deployment is creating artificial women who don’t age or have free will. Concerning!

soooooo basically they built a tool designed to exploit women, and instead of questioning this, we get an "interview" with it.

That said, Occam's Razor drives me back to the likely truth: They are out of money and everyone is falling for it. I need details on how this is going to kill everyone. If you're doing an elaborate bit to alarm people about Anduril, I'ma need you to tell Wired or 404, or I will keep laughing at you.

Oh fun the latest AI book marketing scam is basically like “why are you such a bitch?”
Hi Maris,
I came across / Want to Burn This Place Down, and something about the way you examine power, exploitation, and the frustrations built into modern work caught my attention.
It made me curious:
What made you choose such a direct and confrontational voice rather than take a more measured approach to discussing these problems?
I ask because questions like this often lead to the most interesting conversations between authors and readers.
They open up the thinking behind a book, not just what It says.
I'm currently organizing live reader discussions centered on that kind of conversation, giving readers a chance to explore the ideas, choices, and experiences behind a book.
Would you be open to hearing how the discussion works?
Best,
RAJ
