I often see misleading stuff like this (from LinkedIn). Reminder: The price of a robotaxi trip reveals nothing about efficiciency or economics. It's hugely subsidized. Remember how cheap Uber and Lyft were a decade ago, back when they were private companies spending investor dollars?

They tried their best to make the idea of having more things we want nearby, more options and choices in our cities and neighborhoods, seem like a conspiracy. But never forget what the REAL urban conspiracy has been — moving everything further away and making us car dependent. #1HourCityConspiracy

White text on black background reading “The real ‘urban conspiracy’ isn’t proximity, it’s distance. The ‘one hour city’ traps millions in long commutes, car dependency, and lost time. We need cities of proximity, time, and quality of life.” — @carlosmorenofr.bsky.social #UrbanTruth

The downside of paper and flyer marketing was, of course, the waste of paper. The upside was that at least some guy in marketing had to think for more than thirty seconds before sending it.

When the US bombed an Iranian school, killing over 100 kids, it involved over-reliance on an AI targeting system called "Maven," which based it on outdated information. I called it in @foreignpolicy.com in April Now confirmed in @bloomberg.com report of Pentagon investigation

Keep Humans in the Loop
AI has a place in military targeting—but it needs safeguards.

By Nicholas Grossman, a professor of international relations at the University of Illinois, editor of Arc Digital, and the author of Drones and Terrorism.

Pictured: A woman passes an art installation featuring portraits of some of the school girls killed in an apparent U.S. strike in February, in Tehran.on April 12. MAJID SAEEDI/GETTY IMAGES)

https://foreignpolicy.com/2026/04/14/ai-targeting-iran-school-airstrikes-pentagon-anthropic/

APRIL 14, 2026, 1:57 PM
In the U.S.-Israel war on Iran, airstrikes hit an elementary school in Iran, killing at least 175, most of them children.

From: https://foreignpolicy.com/2026/04/14/ai-targeting-iran-school-airstrikes-pentagon-anthropic/

This time, AI may have played a role, perhaps relying on old information. The school was adjacent to Iranian naval facilities and had once been a part of them. A large language model like Claude or ChatGPT could make that kind of error by consuming outdated information at a higher volume and giving it greater weight than more current info—or perhaps by failing to spot something a human might have caught, such as a school sign or children playing.

From: https://foreignpolicy.com/2026/04/14/ai-targeting-iran-school-airstrikes-pentagon-anthropic/

The public doesn’t know if AI chose the Iranian school, but we know the U.S. military is using an AI-powered system called Maven in Iran to help identify targets. Similarly, the Israeli military used a system called Lavender to identify targets in Gaza. Both wars featured a record-high rate of precision strikes compared to previous air campaigns.

We do not need fancy tech for good cities and should definitely not be making our critical infrastructure systems part of the "internet of things" or "AI run". What we need is the gumption to do things differently. These things that work but that are different and therefore hard.

Why do you hear so much repetition in the media about Trump's promise to give voters $5000 in a way you didn't for say, Kamala Harris's plan to give people who start a business $50,000? Is it because Trump has more credibility because he's told the truth in the past? What could be the other reason?

Serious answer: because their vision of masculinity comes with a hierarchy, and part of how you establish and defend your place in the hierarchy is to enforce the "rules" of masculinity while punishing others for being insufficiently masculine. It's inherently insecure by design.
