The tragedy of the boom and bust cycle is that you are not allowed to say "this is a boom and bust cycle" during the boom part, even if it is obvious. Meanwhile the people who were saying "this boom will last forever" will now smoothly pivot to "the bubble has popped, like I always said it would"

how do you expect a vision-impaired user to know that the skeet text describes the embedded image, though? at the very least, the alt text should contain something along the lines of "image described in post", if not a brief description.

Anyway, I love thinking, talking, questioning, listening, and reading about the nature of consciousness. It’s a fascinating subject. I don’t bother arguing about it though because you can’t argue someone out of a belief they may not even be fully aware they possess.

Impressive, bc my understanding is that the Chinese bar exam is *really hard*. What I’ve been told is that a lot of the Chinese LLM students in US law schools are ppl who failed the Chinese bar, and now hope to pass the US one to get hired by the US affiliates of Chinese firms.

Ah yes, perhaps the most beloved literary trope of all: the classic McMuffin
A screenshot that reads: Moore throws in a Hitchcock-style McMuffin in the shape of a secret tape recording which will reveal just who has been betraying the gangsters.
The problem is that no-one has a machine on which to play it.

Not the least bit surprising but still extremely grim to read. time.com/article/2026...
Since returning to office, Trump has marveled at AI’s capabilities. He is increasingly in thrall to the tech executives courting him. In December 2025, Elon Musk returned to the Oval Office for a clandestine meeting. Trump spent hours asking Grok, Musk’s AI chatbot, questions about his presidency and legacy, according to an official present. At the time, Trump was ordering missile strikes against Venezuelan boats he alleged were smuggling drugs into the U.S. He asked Grok how Venezuelans would react if the U.S. captured Maduro. According to the official present, the chatbot responded that Maduro was a repressive and deeply unpopular dictator and that many Venezuelans would likely celebrate his downfall. After Trump ordered the mission to seize Maduro, the following month, celebrations broke out in the streets. Trump, according to officials, came away thinking Grok was ingenious.

You should have to smell the dead when you disinter them.
A chat request from a late friend
I recognize the pain of thinking if I could only talk to them one more time. It is among the more familiar human laments. But that's just the thing it is a human problem to be endured not a technological problem to be sold. Our capacity for loss – in fact the necessity of losing and having lost – is what makes us who we are. Individually and collectively. There is no workaround. There will be no workaround. And every step toward preventing that or perverting that is an affront to our humanity. Why not just taxidermy nana and prop her up at the Texas Chainsaw Massacre dinner table? At least there's something real and tangible about that. Undeniable in its sacrilege. You should have to smell the dead when you disinter them.

The three news orgs sue the Trump administration today, seeking an injunction immediately. They will surely prevail, given the blatant illegality - which the Trump administration has to have known. Yet no known official refused to enforce the blatantly illegal order- that in fact is the story here.

Doomerism, properly speaking, is insisting he'll win and it's all futile when there are still many reasons to doubt that. That there's no limit to what he might *try* to do is just cold hard objective reality. After Jan 6, no argument along the lines of "he wouldn't go that far" has any credibility.

Recognizing their remarkable capabilities isn’t “AI psychosis.” Attributing human qualities to the technology is. Every output of these models is a result of computation. Because they use language we associate with humans, it’s easy to project human qualities onto them—but they’re still computers.

Not to get all Marxist, but one of the jobs of the state and the people running it is to inform the perceptions of the wider society about the society they live in and the state that operates it. The Biden admin did a a bad job. I don't care why, they just did.
