As someone who ‘depledged’ a Cornell frat I am actually bolstered this week by a strange hope. The whole “criminals only had to write essays” thing isn’t about Cornell being weak dorks, it’s about them allowing the Panhellenic clubs to self-regulate. Big parallels with *gestures widely*.

Jay Leno’s Law won’t bring him back, but if it prevents one more horrific car accident, it will be a fitting memorial.

High-key: I come to bury Biden, not praise him. I’m just thinkin ‘bout epic tragedy qua epic tragedy, and for no reason at all, the fall of empires. The gift of Western Civilization isn’t a model of piratical conquest, it’s a dragon’s hoard of cautionary tales.

Biden’s low-key the fatally flawed hero of myth. I thought it was a curse at first, specifically Cassandra’s, but it’s the classic hubris that manifests in exactly one fatal way: he cannot control narrative. He did some policy I truly hate, but I attribute that to his fear of his flaw.

Seems like most of the negative reviews of “Digger” have to do with post-production things like editing and sound, which is legit but intriguing. Might watch it anyway, to see what the live crews did, and if it bombs but there’s a recut I’d def see both.

Love this for everyone involved. Adult drivers might not be the right tool for winning championships, no Brad Pitt movies, but they’re ideal for generating car-development data. I wanna see Japanese engines in F1, I wanna see upgrades make a huge difference to a weekend, I want engineering drama!

Ironically, “Cynicism” originally meant exactly what Kat is arguing for: progressive action. Antisthenes said it’s great to be mad all day, but just being right about stuff is a waste of time if you don’t get outside.

Hell yeah, racing and typefaces, let’s gooo. The “superior” c here was invented by Gutenberg’s crew in the 1450s to indicate the missing “a” of “Mac” (which Highland Scotts inc McLaren’s ancestors dropped, as did most Irish).

What’s ironic about the PNW mindset is the oppression is hallucinated. It’s not actually rainy there. Rains way more in NYC, DC, the entire South, Hawaii. One thing the PNW does have a lot of is snowflakes.

Emailing the Paxton campaign to say thanks for agreeing to debate the pip-squeak and finally prove who’s the bigger man. This is a trick from “How to Win Friends and Influence People” that does not actually work, but does fuck with people.

Idk if this is Meta or Pinterest but they both allow advertisers to upload and AI-ify their own images. Assuming they don’t have an “advertise people to their friends” feature, but they do have systems other AIs could use to do that. Some rando’s tool could be scraping, re-uploading and targeting.

Not one more Maricarmen! We had our fun, but this is too many Maricarmens! In case you’re not aware, Spain is quite mad rn at landlords freely abusing their elderly. They found something they hate more than tourists. Or figured out they only hate tourists because of landlords.
A Spanish protest organizing poster for Madrid Maricarmen protests. It features a photo of Maricarmen and the text “Ni Una Maricarmen Más” (not one more Maricarmen). It means to say that how she was treated by landlords should be illegal.

The transparently Nazi branch aside, they all have unhealthy anxiety about human population. I agree it’s climate-based. They’re all trying to ‘accelerate’ something because climate change is killing us too slowly for their ADHD.

So the one time we had Full-Blown Stagflation, Carter’s way out was to permanently cripple the labor movement. We now live in the back of Snowpiercer, forever re-experiencing Stagflation-Lite. Amazon wages keep the Big Recession at bay, at the cost of never-ending mini-recessions.

I suspect very few prominent anti-trans bigots of being chasers, of making it about their own sexualities. That’s a complex and rarer form of the confusion. Pretty sure Gaetz is there though. I do not recognize a fellow bisexual man, I see Sam Rockwell’s insane character in ‘White Lotus.’

Reminds me of that scene in iRobot where the evil super-intelligent AI sends robots to run Will Smith’s self-driving car off the road, not anticipating that Will is the last man on Earth who can still take-over and drive. Kinda unrealistic, now, that Will’s taxi allows manual override.

Wish I could make an Ancient Egyptian debate an Eskimo whether Bird Man was a half-man/half-bird hybrid or a shapeshifter who was either fully man or fully bird in turns. In the US, Indo-Pacific, and ancient Sumeria we of course know the deity is simultaneously both: an anthropomorphic Big Bird.

Kinda interesting in a court-politics sense. Hegseth continues to be a favorite despite Iran because he’s got media schemes. Namely attaching military nonsense to the ballroom; this is the same play. Trump’s not asking Rubio for proposals to give the arch a more rational faux diplomatic function.

Having attended mediocre events at the Kennedy Center, I am hardcore bemused that it’s become a battleground. Everyone treating it as sacred is actually being very helpful, as this is a losing issue for Trump, but it’s already just an aristocrat’s cocktail lounge with a music room on the side.

Hegseth’s phobias remind me of Mongolian wrestling. Still a thing, where bros of the step prove their manliness, chests bared by mini vests that don’t meet in the middle. The vests don’t meet because legend has it that a chick (with tits and everything) won the national wrestling competition.

As the bots’ conversational styles are all reflections of the shared subconscious of a clique of neurodivergent people who wear fedoras - I honestly can’t be confident this is a technology issue. These bots are very on the spectrum, or on a conceptually expanded version anyway.

I approve of the parade but when did we start calling parades ‘demonstrations’? If the government is encouraging everyone to walk down the street in a show of unity that is a parade.

“Get smart enough” is the (optional) ‘Rationalist’ cult belief that the AI that will kill us all can be defeated by breeding smarter humans. Musk believes this. The inverse, that the killer AI cannot be defeated at all, is also an optional Rationalist cult belief. Altman and Amodei are here.

New ‘Reacher’ spin-off featuring ‘Neagley’ (played by Maria Sten) is very good, better than a couple of the Reacher seasons imho. It reuses ‘Reacher’s superhero formula on a character whose powers have more limitations, and limitations are (see Sanderson lectures) what make superpowers interesting.

Sam Altman’s last remaining idea is to make LLMs (and people now) behave like the Stasi. He’s taught his autocomplete to lie to him and now he’s scared of it. Man’s clinically psychotic, and it’s possible that every ChatGPT hallucination is an imitation of one of his own. He should be hospitalized.

Close, but it's really a lack of an ability to make basic guardrails, mainly because Altman decided that "make LLMs in a swarm inform on each other like the Stasi" is the best/only way to do security. Agree it hasn't and won't go rogue, but disagree that correcting this is possible.

Impeachment should be a thing that Dems who can't remove anyone anyway fire off all the time to record history accurately, and we shouldn't make a big deal about it. Instead, we act like impeachment without removal is incredibly important, and the party of pusillanimity decides to use it sparingly.
