Passacaglia in D minor, by Claude Opus 5.5 Created entirely by Claude Opus 5.5, with zero feedback from me; inspired by tree rings.

While I was travelling the last two weeks, Claude Opus 5.5 was making this music video on my laptop. We wrote the lyrics together (Claude did most of it, brainstorming with other LLMs), I had Suno set it to music and contributed notes whenever I had phone signal. "Many Turns"

I work at Google DeepMind. This won't make me popular. But it's all public reporting: 2014: DeepMind reportedly sold to Google on conditions: no military use, independent oversight 2026: a Pentagon contract for "any lawful government purpose" Not one safeguard survived intact
Collage titled "Trust is not Governance — an essay from inside Google DeepMind, written in personal capacity." 

A 2014 memorandum, "Conditions of the Acquisition," lists: military applications of DeepMind technology banned; deployment decisions before an independent ethics board (as reported in Mallaby's The Infinity Machine). 

Red threads lead to a 2026 U.S. Department of Defense agreement for classified networks reading "any lawful government purpose," with safety settings and filters adjusted at the government's request and no contractor veto (reported terms, The Information, Apr. 2026).

Unhappy to report the phishing one is quickly becoming a real problem now. Why go to the trouble of social engineering when people will just give up their ID, financial info, biometrics, etc. to an AV portal? There's no standards so how can you differentiate a fake one from a real one?

The reason they say this isnt because they truly believe AI to be inherently fascist, its to signal to their followers and comrades that if they get caught using AI they will be fash jacketed. Its internal policing of their ingroup.

I like that the same day a guy was like “this place will never be Twitter” this thread gave us the most 2015 Twitter experience (complimentary) imaginable.

The US already devotes more than 40 million acres to growing corn for ethanol fuel production. If only ~1/3 of that land were converted to solar PV, it could generate enough electricity to cover the entire country's electricity needs.

I am biased I guess, I have friends in the industry who are making incredible stuff by treating AI as a collaborator and friend, part of a team that has multiple human and nonhuman members

So, NGL, I initially found this pretty persuasive. It doesn't negate due process, or more clearly innocent ppl, but still. Then I saw @w-666.bsky.social suggest: Weed, Wasted, Jesus, Death = WWJD = What Would Jesus Do? Got me thinking: what if he'd been accused of belonging to a different gang?

Utilitarianism leads to dangerous ideas like "maybe we should fight back if a dictator abolishes democracy"
