“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

"We need to give them some grace and allow them back in the tent-" Let me stop you right there. This isn't deciding a People's Choice Award. This is about deciding whether or not your tax money is going to pay for a Gestapo of pedophiles. Too important a job to be left to idiots.

These people cannot be trusted to vote in their best interests. Ever. They have failed at the most simple task and have driven this country to ruin. They are too stupid to be allowed to have a say in the future of the country. Convince a non-voter to vote. There are LOTS of those.

Also stop the repulsive grandiosity and smug threats about your product. I’m gonna be left behind? What the fuck are you even talking about? I don’t care! I’m old and have plenty to do and don’t want to follow your parade of lazy shitheads! I don’t know enough about it? Yes I do! You failed.

Also do the honest work of eliminating any trace of plagiarism in your beloved product. How? Not my fucking problem! If you can’t run your business / technology without stealing other people’s work, it deserves to die. Personally I’m happy to see it die, so don’t try to make it my responsibility.

The BEST thing that true believers in AI could do is stop evangelizing to people, like me, who think it sucks. Do the hard, years-long work of detaching your beloved technology from the worst people in the world right now: shameless fascists driven by greed and domination. They’re YOUR partners.

Here's a funny thing about the right to vote: it wasn't won by voting.
Two suffragists in period dress, ceremonially putting ballots into a ballot box. The background has been replaced with an elaborate collage of 19th C printing-press parts. The ballots are glowing with radiant spikes. The face of the ballot box has been replaced with an Nvidia Vera Lynn GPU.

i know a lot of people really, really want gaza to be a two-sides issue that maps cleanly onto US electoral politics, but it isn't. the mainstream of both parties supports the genocide, because the US as an institution supports the genocide. i know that's uncomfortable but you can't run away from it

The fact that the preferred political movement of the free speech set immediately set about establishing “western civics centers” while gutting the rest of the humanities and supports for marginalized students really does tell you what the source of their concerns really were

Fact that within a midterm cycle much of the Republican Party and the political apparatus around it dove into repealing segregation orders and debating the role of Indian people in public life is a huge indictment of the “woke went too far” idea but again acknowledging that means self reflection.

Sources at meta are dunking on this and calling it a tamagotchi. It sounds like based on talking to sources that it could be a little ai companion you wear. I really hope they do this as it sounds so absolutely stupid, unbelievable

Jyoti mann quote tweet
Scoop: Meta plans to test an AI pendant next year as part of a broader wearable push, per an internal memo reviewed by The Information.

The first of 4 new smart glasses its releasing this year (code-named “Modelo") will launch as soon as next month.
