From: "Iran must NEVER have a nuclear weapon and I will WRECK the economy to stop them!" To: "Eh, whatever, it'd be no big deal if Iran nuked a major American city" ... is such typical trump, isn't it?

I love it even though it's not as great as it should have been. It's got ambition, it's really well written, so I forgive its flaws.

I don't think it's a coincidence that these proponents of state-sponsored cruelty and murder invariably love to display their little models of a device ancient states used to murder people in the cruellest way possible. They often wear it as jewelry or as tattoos.

So what they're going to do is buy "predictions" that the Rs will win the midterms, in order to gin up a story that the Ds cheated, and they'll run with it so hard into 2028 and beyond. And millions of morons will buy it.

calling their publication "inspecting gender" is some pretty decent foreshadowing though

jobs was a prick and definitely doesn't deserve the fawning hero worship he gets, but I don't think he was the kind of evil that musk is, like literally being a nazi, or aspiring to tear down the government.

Since Elon Musk seems to hate this documentary about him from one of my favorite non-fiction filmmakers, Alex Gibney, figured it was my duty to spread a link to the trailer so you can see it for yourself. ENJOY: loom.ly/oA2_-p8

What sucks is that if you used classical techniques, and the amount of compute they're throwing at LLMs, you could build a very robust ATC system.

Patrick Brennan @patrickmbrennan.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

It broke my heart when I realized that I would never be able to work in the game biz and make a decent living at the same time. Or be treated as a human being with some dignity. Or be recognized for my contributions. And I'm a straight white guy! As bad as I was treated, I saw worse done to others.

Patrick Brennan @patrickmbrennan.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Sure, but it's still all speculation. 200 years ago, guesses about what life would be like in the 2026 would be wildly off the mark, both generally and in specifics. I doubt we'd fare any better about 2226, let alone 1002026.

I think you paint a compelling scenario, and it may well come to pass. I understand Drake very well, but it's not prescriptive, it's not theoretical, it's just an estimation technique. But you may still be right. Sadly we will never know.

The AI debate has forced me, somewhat agst my will, to grapple a bit more closely with the "longtermists", basically a movement or subculture of morons who propose novel forms of moral reasoning based on sci-fi ideas they imagine might happen hundreds, thousands or millions of years in the future.
