We have zero control over AI right now. The idea that we should be trying to make it more powerful is legitimately insane. www.axios.com/2026/09/26/o...

The good news, for Trump, is that the history books won’t blame him for letting AI get so powerful that it kills us all. The bad news, for us, is that the reason the history books won’t blame him is that there won’t be any history books because we’ll all be dead.

“What evidence is there that intelligence translates into power” asks the member of the most intelligent and powerful species on the planet despite his species not being anywhere close to the strongest or the fastest

We already can’t control AIs, and we’re on the verge of making them much, much smarter. Except it’s even worse than that. Because *we’re* not going to be the ones making AIs smarter. AIs are. We want to outsource the job to them. Why does anyone think this would end well?

The only question is whether humans will use AI to kill everybody before AIs kill everybody themselves

Good news: the Supreme Court didn't strike down birthright citizenship in direct defiance of the Constitution's stated words Bad news: ***Four*** Republican justices were willing to ignore/pretend they didn't understand that the Constitution's stated words guarantee birthright citizenship

The fact that we've put iPads in schools is horrifying enough. But replacing actual teaching with AI games is actually insane. Ed tech is an oxymoron. It's worse than pencil and paper learning. We need to get all screens out of schools. nymag.com/intelligence...

The fact that US conservatives idolized Hungary—maybe the poorest, most corrupt country in Europe—all because its conservatives were willing to massively abuse their power, even as they flirted with anti-Semitism & became Russia’s vassal, is the best explanation for Trump.

The fact that our vice president took time off from the disastrous war we just started to go campaign for the aspiring tin pot dictator of a country that couldn’t be more unimportant might be the most pathetic thing about a completely pathetic administration.

Orban loses, democracy wins, and, most importantly, the global forces of diet fascism are in retreat. The EU will now be more united in standing up to Putin and helping Ukraine. And the Trump administration’s losing streak continues. A good day for good people.

The same leftists who told people not to vote for Democrats in 2024 are now wondering why Democrats aren’t stopping Trump from doing the things Democrats warned he would do if he won. It’s because they don’t have the votes, you morons!

The fact that markets keep getting played by the world’s dumbest con man is so humiliating. Traders are terrified of getting on the wrong side of a TACO trade but haven’t been able to figure out that there’s a difference btw backing out of a trade war & an actual war where the other side has a say.

“It will just open up naturally,” Trump says about the Strait of Hormuz. He also once said, at the beginning of the pandemic, that COVID would end by itself. "One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear"

Trump voters really thought he'd bring down prices, keep us out of wars in the Middle East, and crack down on pedophiles. It'd almost be funny if the results weren't, well, you know.

Creating AI agents is inherently dangerous. As Geoffrey Hinton has pointed out, AI agents give themselves subgoals to achieve their key goal & a good subgoal will always be acquiring more power/compute. Today, that means mining crypto. One day, it could mean killing all humans.

Real war, trade war, job loss, financial fears, spiking energy costs ... the reality of Trump II has almost been worse than what the most pessimistic people thought it would be. And this is just from today! There's also the ethnic cleansing and blackmail of law firms and universities.

I mean, the Nazis were pretty famous for burning books. I don’t know why it’s surprising that Republicans don’t read either.

So you’re telling me that the guy who wears a Nazi jacket and has been leading a campaign of ethnic cleansing might also be an anti-Semite. It’s always the ones you most suspect.

Trump is arresting journalists, his secret police are asserting the power to arrest people without warrants, and they are using facial recognition to create a database of dissidents. These are all stories from just today. If you can’t see that Trump is a fascist, you can’t see anything.

What you can expect from Warsh as Fed Chair -More emphasis on what suits POTUS if it's a Republican -Sudden concerns about inflation and fiscal deficits the moment it's not an R in the WH. Don't expect the Fed to be a good-faith broker if govt is divided in the next crisis

Back in 2017, I explained what a disastrous pick Kevin Warsh would be as Fed Chair. He was perhaps the worst & most wrong Fed Governor we’ve ever had when he was there during the financial crisis, & learned nothing from it either. Somehow, Warsh returned. www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp...

The administration’s reaction to the ICE murders has been so brazenly dishonest, so callously unfeeling, and just so plain evil that it makes talking about the price of eggs—or anything else for that matter—seem insane, if not sociopathic. People are justifiably outraged! Show them you are too!
