I’d also like to see 2nd pass at the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials once we’re done fixing the messes at home.

the hard parts of building a business are - solving a real problem for real people - ignoring shiny ideas that are fun but distracting - prioritizing boring stuff that moves the needle - connecting with customers if anything, AI makes it *harder* to build a successful business

What’s the probability of being killed by companies using AI to deny medical care?

It seems like a lot of people saying “you need to learn how they work” actually mean “you need to use them to learn how they work”.

Kinda like how the oil industry knew exactly what it was doing for decades and spent that time funding climate change denial.

Hugo Boss and black armbands, if that “Captive Nations” bit refers to what I think it does.

Can’t be long since some experienced programmers appear to have arrived there already.

Between AI and horses, I’d put my money on horses being closer to human intelligence than the AI.

Every time Germany has an election like this I think of all the stories about how Germany has been rearming in the face of US sending unreliable signals re: NATO.

Gotcha, thank you! I’d love to read something that looks at the CIA through lens of their use of Buckley and Steinham and their respective publications.

Lar Van Der Jagt @supaspoida.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Really great thread, thank you! Do you happen to know if the right saw her association w/CIA as evidence the CIA had been captured by communists, like they did w/the Congress for Cultural Freedom?

Also a lot of it was explicitly written to appeal to a search engine made by the same company responsible for the research all the LLMs are based on.

It’s the same people running the same predatory playbook as crypto mining did previously, except this time at hyperscale.

Rounded corners with transparent pngs and a constantly evolving set of internet explorer hacks to support them.

Want an answer that covers all three, just in case you ever find yourself in that situation?

While their rage was justified, many of the most enthusiastic participants died early of health conditions related to inhalation of toxic fumes.

One time when I opted out of a body scan a TSA agent made fun of me, saying I was gonna get a much bigger dose of radiation in the air. That was the first it had ever occurred to me but even then I felt like he was probably correct.

I’d like to read a comparative analysis between tech oligarch manifestos and mass shooter manifestos, since they seem to be the main types of people writing manifestos these days.

So wild how Dexter Holland went on to earn a credit on mRNA vaccines.

Feels less like a pity and more like a crime when you connect the dots between Google’s search algorithms filling up the Internet with SEO slop and the fact that it was Google’s research that kicked off the LLM arms race.

Yours is certainly much more evocative! My fav is GMOs, they have the similar sorts of impacts on consensus reality and our information ecosystem as GMOs have on our food systems. You can see other parallels when it comes to pushes for labeling and organic certifications.

I guess emotionally manipulating people to sit through a commercial break produces better TV than emotionally manipulating people away from cancelling a monthly subscription.

At that time Israel was secretly selling arms to South Africa and collaborating with them on nuclear programs.

It kinda sounds like he watched Bill Paxton’s character in Big Love and decided that was the life for him.

I am convinced that a major objective of the crypto/ai movement is to find new ways to waste energy in order to make up that gap.

Reminds me of way back when I was wondering why she would join The Intercept.

Oh I’m very excited to read this! Interesting that Lucas’ other giant franchise revolves around political use of archeology as well.

That one stings extra since completing captcha’s helped train the models in the first place.

I don’t know if it’s a distinct category but the intersection of mis/disinformation, ai-psychosis, and military applications worries me a lot. Also its role as a proxy in geopolitical power struggle w/China when we should be collaborating on the energy transition.

Oooh yea, Athena is very cool! I was imagining some json specific query language as part of the s3 api.

Very interesting, will need to look into that some more. Thank you!

Can you say what you mean by “fully json aware”?

When I got on twitter it felt like the complete opposite, like we had a direct line to reality in a way that had never existed before.

I would go a step further and propose that any time a company uses “smart” we assume they mean “spy”.

I have a pet theory that there was significant overlap between early UFO/sci-fi circles and the Paperclip scientists.

I would only add that religion isn’t a tool they invented, it’s a human impulse they’ve co-opted.
