Turns out that the duct tape to the passenger seat thing was all a publicity stunt. Wild. (That's what I believe anyway.)

Katy Cornell is running for WA State Rep and is campaigning on “parents’s rights” while at the same time clearly doesn’t give a shit about parents’ rights if it means she can secretly, against the parents’ wishes, convert kids to her high-control church.

This is a great example of one of the ways AI is actually going to endanger / kill huge numbers of people. Shitty chatbots cause their special sort of brain rot to the people who package intelligence for our shot-callers. They take the bad ideas from there. www.cnn.com/2026/09/18/p...
It was only just before the planned operation that officials dug deeper into the report put together by a special operations command analyst and found it had been generated with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) — and that a chatbot the analyst had used inaccurately identified the material the ship was carrying. CNN was not able to learn what the misidentified cargo was.

The report, according to one of the sources, was “entirely false.” But it also “almost started a war,” the source said. Any US operation against a Chinese vessel could have risked spiraling into an armed conflict between the two nations.

Again: "Tilly Norwood" is not a person; it is a shoddy, and also pretty gross puppet. Stop referring to it as "she," and start asking whether there might be something a bit off about wanting to promote a sexualized but also childlike "actor" that can never tell its creators or users "no."

I just heard Keesha Bottoms (dem candidate GA gov) say that the R's are responsible for the fiscal condition of GA, 4 seconds later she was touting that GA has a several hundred million $ surplus. So........that's terrible messaging. I hope she wins but damn, liberals are out of ideas.

The U.S. AI industry is being run by a batshit rationalist sex cult, and no, I am not being hyperbolic - they’re genuinely Like That:
Erin Redwing
@realizingerin
I went to an rationalist/EA Al doomer event last night with the goal of meeting someone who could calmly explain to me the argument for how they get to the conclusion that Al will kill everyone.
Because these are rationalists, I expected to find people who could lay out a serious extinction pathway, walk through the assumptions and intermediate steps, identify choke points where negative pathways could potentially be regulated, and entertain disagreement about where their assumptions might break down.
My experience was the exact opposite.
The people I spoke to seemed psychologically unable to entertain the possibility that their conclusion (that Al literally kills everyone, which was a point that many would not even budge on) might be wrong.
Their most extreme conclusion was treated as an axiom.
I had multiple people walk out of conversations with me when I questioned their inevitable extinction premise.
At one point during a panel, the moderator asked everyone in the audience who was still skeptical of Al doom to raise their hands. About half the room did. He then told all of the skeptics to leave the panel and go with one of the speakers, who would answer their questions separately. They filtered out all the skeptics, and continued the panel only with the subset who accepted their extreme position.
I genuinely felt like a heretic just for questioning whether superintelligent Al inevitably leads to the extinction of humanity, or entertaining the possibility that the future might actually turn out well.
That does not mean Al safety is fake. Obviously there are serious questions about rapidly advancing Al systems and what happens as they become much more capable. Those are exactly the conversations I went there hoping to have.
But what I encountered was an apocalyptic death cult. These people are not rational. They are deeply afraid, they reinforce that fear in one another, and they have become so emotionally committed to apocalypse

I’m not interested in this rhetoric that it would be too difficult or too expensive when Trump has spent trillions on nonsense that hasn’t benefitted us whatsoever. Just redirect a ton of DOD funding to build a national HSR network, via Executive Order. The precedent has been set.

We did it so wrong afterwards. We suspended constitutional rights embraced racism, and flouted jingoism. Saying that we did it wrong was cast as “unpatriotic” and thus authoritarianism gained another giant foothold. And now the more dangerous terrorism is domestic and comes straight from the top.

When we talk about "the cycle of poverty", we should be aware that there is a single word we can use to refer to the concept that many people are born into scarcity and an early death, while a few are born into wealth and privilege and power, and that this word is: capitalism.
