Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 26/09/2026Incredible post, considering the goalposts of AI boosters have moved from "Creative & white collar jobs will be replaced by LLMs on the way to a future of abundance" to "Coders will be able to generate code faster, and mathematicians will be able to kind of solve specific types of problems faster." 060
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 19/09/2026"There’s not a clear political group I map onto now," says the person who uses Grok and thinks everyone should embrace more exposure to the effluvia of the tech industry? 1110
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 18/09/2026Who shall write its sequel, I wonder? And which of today's ostensible "liberals" will despise and reject it? 010
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 14/09/2026GenAI may be a cancer on creativity in artistic endeavors, but it sure gives some accountants room to let their imaginations soar 040
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 14/09/2026TFW you're telling your investors that Anthropic is profitable if you don't count the costs of training its models, and also that the entire industry should pause training models until sometime after a $2T IPO 160
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 09/09/2026Behold, the inevitable result of a Bay Area industrial subculture that brought us terms like "microdosing" and "recreational ketamine." 55111
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 08/09/2026That's enough of that. If I wanted a front row seat to bot-driven encroaching madness, I'd still be on X. 031
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 04/09/2026Grew up in Maryland during a period where most popular movies & television were set in southern California, so this mostly tracks. More context: The first time I was ever asked if I wanted a "pop," I was 18 and assumed the person was joking, since my mom would sometimes say "sodey pop" to be silly. 120
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 03/09/2026Fox News wants you to know that opposing LPRs and AI data center construction is "glonzo" 020
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 02/09/2026I'd have thought Sky, of all people, would understand that a market can stay irrational for a very long time, long enough to make short-term predictions embarrassing. Zitron seems to have learned that lesson. (Zitron quoted in a Vanity Fair interview published yesterday; crude oil WTI at $90/bbl) 140
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 29/08/2026Like, you really have to be dumber than dogshit to take this seriously. 020
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 28/08/2026I am willing to admit that Dean Phillips, Jason Palmer, and an actual empty space on the convention ballot are "real losers," if that's what it takes to get "centrist" Democrats to shut the fuck up and stop demanding to lose elections with their shitty candidates 010
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 23/08/2026According to your own words from April, lthe fact that you are posting this here means you are either insincere or without integrity. 0101
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 21/08/2026I don't get it. Everywhere in America that takes cards does contactless payment and has for years, with Walmart being a notorious exception, specifically because they want you to use their app for contactless payment. What a bizarrely out-of-date stereotype! 150
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 21/08/2026"Bluesky is a small bubble" is a very funny thing to say after posting how dismayed you are that opinions here, about the generative AI industry and its externalities, are more reflective of broader public opinion than those expressed on X dot com. 140
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 20/08/2026Nobody should care about what David "Axis of Evil" Frum thinks about anything, but this is an egregiously deceptive framing. The average in my lifetime for "voted for the loser in a party primary, then voted for the other party in the general" is about 10%, with the notorious exception of 2008. 080
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 20/08/2026(Watching the left take the broadly popular side of a political issue, thus positioning itself against rapacious businessmen and in directly opposition to the unpopular fascist president) "You're shooting yourself in the foot 😔" 1111
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 01/08/2026That will be enough of that. He can piss on better mens' graves all he wants, I just don't need to see any more of it. 1100
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 01/08/2026"Ah, I see the flagship online magazine for every cop-sucking faux-liberal on Bluesky is at it again today. Good work, Samantha." 040
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 31/07/2026I briefly scrolled down the subreddit just to see how bad/funny it could get and, well, 0152
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 31/07/2026Fuck you, you traitorous cop-sucking freak. You should be ashamed to call yourself a "liberal" while posting this comfort to fascists. 0140
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 31/07/2026Can't believe I hadn't already done this. I don't actually believe that "scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds" is a universal axiom, but it's certainly true for some set of greasy shitheads, like this odious creature 040
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 31/07/2026Disgusting thing to publish, brought to you by the flagship magazine of the most disgustingly freedom-hating freaks on this website. Anyone advocating the unilateral disarmament of the opposition to fascism in America, while calling themselves "liberal," is perpetuating a fucking fraud. 1121
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 30/07/2026One hears a lot about The Long 2016, but only because that's less personally embarrassing to the still-embittered losers of The Long 2008. 020
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 25/07/2026The original was just a straightforward YouGov post about "50K, or 50% odds of a million," and by now everyone like Will who was offended at this comic panel has "rephrased" it a half-dozen times into something they insist proves that their bachelors' degrees are proof of personal superiority. 220
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 25/07/2026This is really awesome. "If you ask an entirely different question, you get a different answer. This means that everyone yelling at me is stupid, not that I can't comprehend the key distinction* between two texts." *For the 3-cueing casualties and STEM grads out there, it's fallibility of the odds. 220
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 25/07/2026www.cbsnews.com/news/labor-s... Rough news for this funny little guy! 000
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 24/07/2026I see we're doing "only econ majors are smart" discourse again because a lot of privileged people don't, or can't, understand that the psychological and familial cost of losing $50K found money on a coin toss is not worth risking, at any price, for most people. Not beating the allegations! 020
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 14/07/2026The part about Medicare and Medicaid is the part of the whole post I disagreed with. I think the first half of my post made that pretty explicit! 100
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 14/07/2026Well, the start of that answer is in the first half of the post you quoted 020
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 14/07/2026Pictured: A whole lot of people who ostensibly believe healthcare is a human right when you remind them that their enemies' children are, in fact, human 1110
Thomas Jerome @thomasjerome.com · 14/07/2026Farm, highway, infrastructure money? Sure, absolutely. Medicare/Medicaid? Not sure how you square that with this post from a couple of weeks ago 🤷♂️ 1100
![Interviewer: "You’ve said the music is about to stop at this AI dance quite a few times since 2024. Your critics point that out and suggest you’re the boy who cried wolf. Why should people believe you now when you’ve said it before?"
Zitron: "[The year] 2024 is a long time ago, and I think I was naive. I didn’t think that the system would accept such egregious distances between the amount of money spent and the very small amounts of money made and the massive losses. I genuinely thought the world was a better place, and learning that has been illuminating, to say the least. I’ve stopped giving exact time frames. That was a silly thing to do."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5goxpodulobydag5j7immci7/bafkreievatmserynuf7qvay5nqaeb44iowkgzb7rcw3ohwcqplxaewafjy)
