The new book “If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies” aims to explain why superintelligent AI would eliminate humanity. But along the way, the authors “fail to make an evidence-based scientific case for their claims,” Adam Becker argues:

The Useful Idiots of AI Doomsaying
Those who predict that superintelligence will destroy humanity serve the same interests as those who believe that it will solve all of our problems.

The New York Times' "coverage of anything remotely political is poisoned by its obsession to prove its neutrality by taking cheap shots at the left, no matter the cost to its obligation to accuracy and fairness." @froomkin.bsky.social hits the 🎯 as usual weighing on NYT's recent hitjob on Mamdani.

The GOP now seems to be made up of people who’d have survived the Milgram experiment without much stress. I can’t get over their ability to justify ever-more-horrifying shocks Trump is giving to human beings, the system—and they’re coming up with more ever-more-horrifying versions of their own.

Dear @nytimes.com There can be NO DISAGREEMENT on Canadian sovereignty. The correct answer on a test would be that Canada is a sovereign country. The unwillingness to recognize that fact merits a failing grade for the student questioning that fact. www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol...

Exactly. And reporters should hold him accountable by asking which cars Americans can buy so that they won’t have to pay for tariffs. Of course, there can be no such list!

Can someone ask him which cars are now being made in the US and therefore exempt from tariffs? Would he provide that list to Americans so they can avoid the price increase?
