O/c society has a primary duty to older people in need of assistance, but a large number of the boomer middle-class are sat on piles of wealth, like a generational Smaug. This is not being ageist. Lots of them even agree. My boomer mum is outraged by the fiscal over-indulgence of her generation…

Like the ‘long 90s’ was the anti-political era in contrast to our hyper-political one, it was also hedonistically amoral whereas we are hyper-moral. For good or evil, performative and hypocritical or not, both online left and right are now hyper-moral in addition to hyper-political.

over the past few weeks several AI evaluation/cybersecurity experts have explained how what's happening is a result of human incompetence rather than "AI going rogue". I'm begging the media to show a shred of journalistic integrity and stop parroting what altman or amodei say

Better hope he never gets out I guess

"It's little comfort to know that my stupidity is what brings us together this afternoon,' New Mexico attorney Stephen D. Aarons said in a hearing last month
before five judges. He "assumed" ChatGPT would generate a "bulletproof summary of proceedings."' Instead, ChatGPT generated false testimony from "wholly fabricated witnesses," according to an order of direct contempt from the
New Mexico Supreme Court. Aarons was representing a man who was found guilty of killing his wife earlier this year; Aarons said he hadn't told his client directly that he was caught using ChatGPT on the
case because he's currently serving life in prison.

there's still this idea among some ai boosters that ai in law is gonna level the playing field for poor people/give them better access to law but so far it's been like: your state appointed attorney will shit out the worst possible ai-generated bullshit and you'll rot in prison

I prefer Schmitt to Heidegger. Heidegger was a true fascist; he desired salvation from thought in the quiescent ‘Being’ of the Reich, whereas the Nazis got pissed off with Schmitt for being way too much of a hermeneutist of suspicion. He’s one of these reactionaries who almost goes so far in..

All I can say is that there are some I’ve *known of* but I’ve never been friends or well-connected with any — that I know of. 🤷‍♂️ There’s this perception that every single bloke has witnessed some horrible frat shit and not stepped in but it’s not true. Much SA happens in private away from other guys.

They are in fact contemptuous of the idea that I would go out and talk to people about how they use a technology or observe them trying to use it. Just hostile to the very concept of there being an end user.

So you know previous waves of technological fabulism the tech companies threw a little loose change at social behavioral research and user interface experience. whats interesting about AI interesting is that they aren’t even pretending to care about how people use the technology.

1995 was still the grunge era. Plaid and combat boots were seen on runways in Milan. But yes, it was possible to simply not be a girly-girl without it necessarily being labelled as anything.

Will Stancil presents his position that the western economy is doing just fine as evidence-based centrism in the face of extreme far-left opinion. But it’s actually a fringe, highly contentious, and totally outlandish claim. Mark Carney or even Tony Blair wouldn’t argue that lol.

I wrote about something that was making me feel nuts: After weeks of discourse around hypothetical existential threats from AI triggered global calls for government intervention, we learned a faulty AI system almost triggered a US-China war. And no one really cared. theintercept.com/2026/09/28/a...

Whatever you think of Blur (& I think the song PARKLIFE is horrible) they were capable of sporadic genius. The sublime Euro-swoon of TO THE END most of all, but also this. The baseline slaps, and “love in the 90s / is paranoid” is a terrific, unforgettable lyric. m.youtube.com/watch?v=LCp7...

A radical painting of proto-photographic realism, an almost entirely secular portrayal of the scene. C19 critics bristled at the horse’s foregrounded backside emerging from a godless darkness, the horse giving Saul a side-eye as though to say “What are you doing down there?”
