The conclusion of Vol. 2 of the Hater's Guide is important to me, and summarizes my frustration with what I see as a failure by media and analysts to realistically explain what LLMs actually do. Retail investors - regular people - will end up hurt as a result. www.wheresyoured.at/premium-the-...

Premium: The Hater's Guide To The AI Bubble Vol. 2

We’re approaching the most ridiculous part of the AI bubble, with each day bringing us a new, disgraceful and weird headline. As I reported earlier in the week, OpenAI spent $12.4 billion on inference...

I get furious when I hear people say they didn't know he would do this stuff. Black people knew. Indigenous people knew. LGBTQ+ people knew. Latinos knew. Environmentalists knew. You didn't know because you didn't want to know and didn't want to listen to the ones who did know.

ICE has repeatedly lied about not detaining people in office buildings and other places like this across the country. 👇 Push your local municipalities to go after unlicensed ICE detention facilities. City & state govts have more resources than nonprofits do, they need to be doing the work too.

I'd be curious to see a poll of the public asking them when they thought internal combustion engine vehicle sales will start to decline. I expect most have no idea it happened years ago. I expect this would be different if our media wasn't doing the work of preserving the status quo.

New in PN: "On Los Angeles Street where it meets the 101 freeway, I didn’t see anyone attacking police, nor did I hear orders to disperse. Like all riots, the matter of who started it remains, at best, an open question. But the police at the very least escalated things." — @justinglawe.bsky.social

🚨 VEHICULAR ASSAULT in San Francisco 🚨 Just received a report from someone OTG: "Tesla asshole hit an old man. MD and EMT appeared outta nowhere and helped out. Paramedics arrived after 5 minutes. They caught the Tesla. Plenty of abrasions and bleeding and possibly broken leg (per EMT)"

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

If the @washingtonpost.com wanted to set its credibility on fire, this is what it would do. ChatGPT cannibalized an actual reporter’s good work, turned it into a steaming pile of misinformation and then had the fucking nerve to slap the reporter’s name back on its bullshit.

There are many other tactics that are more appropriate right now. On the less risky side, intentional incompetence in every day life to grind the gears of oppression to a halt buys us time. On the more risky side, I'm inspired by the Citizen's Commision to Investigate the FBI. 😉

Stop mass deportations with this one simple trick: wapo.st/41apYFB (gift link)

Officers have also struggled to meet their quotas because immigrants are refusing to open their doors when ICE officers knock. The enforcement teams generally do not possess criminal arrest warrants that would allow them to force their way into their targets’ homes. ICE officials say they can’t afford to leave teams of officers waiting around for targeted immigrants to exit their homes.

More than 1 in 3 people were first arrested before their 16th birthday – does this look like a society that cares about uplifting youth, or imprisoning them?
