Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley

Even when it's an entire stadium booing them, the AI hucksters cannot wrap their heads around the fact that no one wants the shit they're selling.

In retrospect, Trump was always going to use AI to portray himself as Jesus. That’s just, like, science.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

As I've been saying over and over on our book tour for The AI Con, the inevitability argument (including in the form of "AI is here to stay") is an attempt to steal our agency. We don't have to accept that and I encourage everyone to refuse it.

Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.

Infographic titled “Judges reject Trump at an accelerating pace” with subtitle “Federal district court rulings against the administration.”

The first bar chart, labeled “By month, %”, shows the percentage of federal district court rulings against the Trump administration:
• February: 53.8% (7 out of 13)
• March: 74.3% (26 out of 35)
• April: 76.1% (51 out of 67)
• May: 96.3% (26 out of 27)

The second bar chart, labeled “By appointing party, %”, shows rulings against the Trump administration by the party of the judge’s appointing president:
• Republican-appointed judges: 72.2% (26 out of 36)
• Democratic-appointed judges: 80.4% (74 out of 92)
