The machine did not "go rogue." The machine belongs to and is the responsibility of the people who own it. Hold those people accountable for their goddamn machine.

Planning for these scenarios is more exciting than working on regulations and creating secure testing environments. Pretty sure that's all this is.

Watching tech people tremble before the awesome power of AI feels like when an actor is “attacked” by a wild animal in a movie but they are just holding a raccoon pelt to their neck and pretending to wrestle with it

I went to camp with a kid who was easily a foot taller than the other kids. No matter the sport, everyone wanted him on their team and no one complained about it being unsafe or unfair for him to compete against smaller kids. The whole safety and fairness argument against trans kids in sports is BS.

I keep hoping to see an update saying that Pogi is doing okay, that Urska is with him, any shred of news. I know it's the middle of the night in Spain, but I keep checking. #lavuelta #cycling

In case people don't know, this is the size of a data center that runs in-house AI. This is a publicly-funded scientifically-backed climate modelling supercomputer. (human for scale) So when they tell you they need to build hyperscalers the size of Manhattan, you have to ask: what are those for?

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

Isn't it time for humanity to decouple from big business? They do not add value to our life at all. Built-in obsolescence, attempts to run everything on subscriptions, surveillance to optimise <their> business model, reliance on AI instead of humans, to our detriment - just a few examples.

The 2028 Democratic nominee needs to be someone willing to use the vastly expanded executive powers for the greater good. It CANNOT be someone committed to “returning” to norms that no longer exist. We have to commit to rebuilding aggressively AND to putting protections in place for the future.

Hubs & I are in Marseille & I keep thinking about a great exchange kicked off by @faineg.bsky.social about speaking the language of countries you visit. There were so many funny French phrases shared & we’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of “désolée, mon français est bof.” (sorry, my French is mid) 1/

Dem moderates' job right now is to check the far right. the years of left punching are over. your allies are democratic socialists, not republicans. it is a matter of political survival.

We have had moderates. We've had so many moderates. We've done nothing but moderate and compromise and contort ourselves to try and come to accords with fascists. The democratic party has been throwing out moderates as the solution to a radicalizing GOP the entire time. It hasn't worked.

The city where strangers embrace in the street, where people line up to vote to feed and house and educate the most vulnerable in their midst, where more people choose to live than any other place in the country, the place enjoying the safest era in its history — this is the *real* America.
