They’re live-streaming the execution of the person they think they can get away with doing that to first. It’s a test. If they can do that, they’ll expand the margins of permission.

I can’t emphasize this enough — “AI” wasn’t born corrupt and toxic. For ~75 years, it was mathematicians and scientists doing interesting, thoughtful work and trying to solve problems, making only the usual human mistakes. What “AI” did to machine learning is as tragic as what it did to artists.

This does indeed smell desperate, but that's not why I'm sharing it. No, the bit that leapt out to me was the @financialtimes.com use of the phrase "Seattle-based cloud giant" to describe Amazon, which sounds beautifully fairytale and captures the nature of this whole industry: magic beans.

Xavier Becerra put the Steve Hilton contradiction right on the debate stage: enforce Trump’s federal immigration laws, but ignore California’s own protections? Then he dropped the hammer: “You seem to welcome immigrants who look like you, but deport immigrants who look like me.”

A club guilty of a decade-long scheme to submit false financial information to the league, for the purpose of securing an unfair on-field advantage, should not only be thrown out of the league and have all its titles vacated, its owner should be compelled to sell the club.

Hey so me and my samebrain buddies all made a huge bet on this inevitable technology that can make everybody rich by killing all the jobs and killing like just a few ten thousands of the babies - but not the scary way up close, just remotely with math and some guessing.

Since the Bush Jr. years, I’ve always felt that this stance is inadequate. These guys are wildly successful at serving their supporters and benefactors. That the rest of us lose or perceive them as failures is of no consequence. They never intended to serve our needs.

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

August in London is my favourite time in London. It’s quiet, as everyone is on holiday. It’s warm, as it’s still summer. And today, it’s raining, as it hasn’t rained in months. I’m sat working by an open window and happy as can be.

Fed up with people shirking responsibility by arguing that the UK causes just 1% of emissions? Here are two fantastic analogies from a primary school teacher, Mark in Coventry, who called Sheila Fogerty on @lbc.co.uk - one involving dog poo 😆 Other arguments here: www.nebriefing.org/mp-dialogue

I moved from California in 2021 after too many years of drought, fires, and smoke. I never would have guessed England would change so quickly. It is so unbelievably disorienting to live without rain and water. I don’t know that anywhere is truly safe now.

Again, what right wing Republicans and Democrats call "socialism" is the sort of regulated capitalism that was consensus for much of the 20th century. They pretend it's anti-market when really it's only anti-oligarchy

We can make a society that exists for the care and thriving and enjoyment of the actual people rather than for the enrichment of parasitical greed freaks and the comfort of creepy-minded religious bigots. All that's needed is for more people to stop fearing good things and start fighting for them.

So we now have people betting on Spotify chart positions on prediction markets and then using bots to make their bets come true. $400m has been bet on music on Kalshi already in 2026. People are making more money betting on artists than the artists are making from releasing music. Great stuff!
