We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

Devastating. Brooke’s courage and humor in the face of this cruel disease was a beacon of hope that meant everything to me personally, and helped me understand that I could keep living and not lose myself after diagnosis. RIP, I know you are dancing free in the next life now.

“If you are staring at an example of social disorder or social inefficiency, and the left refuses to explain either why it has happened or how they will fix it, then the right gets to point at someone in the immediate area and say, ‘That’s who did it.’” crazy how much Mamdani speaks my language

I am very worried that AI will destroy wide swaths of society's ability to think, and thus render the masses docile, pliant and helpless in the face of technofeudalism I am not at all worried about Roko, his Basilisk, or any other AI superintelligence myth, and you cannot change my mind

In modern American history has there been a single issue where Republicans consistently hammered Democrats for their position on a topic, Democrats responded by capitulating on it, and then Republicans just… Stopped attacking them over it, does this strategy even exist in reality, seriously asking

So many of the supposed divides in the Democratic caucus simply boil down to "this one will fight for all of us, this one will not" and for the past two years Team Fight is sweeping the board.

But the larger point should be this: financial issues cannot and must not be the main factor driving bargaining and budgeting. We have to deliver good education for our kids. If we can't do that because of the legislature, the answer is to descend on Olympia, not take it out on kids and teachers.

I want to quote screenshot this whole excellent piece from Marisa, but this especially - we *make* the words, we don't just regurgitate without the feeling, without the things that makes us human.

AI may help you construct content, but it will not create memories. It will, at best, rehash ones you already made, and at worst, create false ones. It does not experience, it does not struggle, it does not feel: all essential parts of turning a pile of information into a story.

VA Gov. Spanberger (moderate, was in CIA) and NYC Mayor Mamdani (left, is in DSA) both taking steps to block local law enforcement from helping ICE as it violently violates people's rights is a good example of how the relevant divide in the Dem coalition isn't center-left, it's fight-don't fight.
