FWIW, Ken Paxton is a deeply flawed candidate, who has had a significant amount of his dirty laundry aired. Some people seem to think if Telarico wins, its the start of the purple-ing of Texas. I think this is far more similar to the Roy Moore/Doug Jones 2017 Senate Special Election.

So, watching this livestream of the Kennedy Center shedding its recently added name. I hadn't really seen the building since the change. WTF, like they found a font similar but not the same, and then had the letters in regular typeface while the lines beneath was in bold. Its so bad.

All the dire implications notwithstanding it is hilarious how evil this technology is. Billions of dollars spent on this greasy lying stupid thing that was literally built to replace people, and everyone that uses it gets weaker, lazier, dumber, and sadder for having done so. Well done all around.

My god these guys are such spectacular morons gizmodo.com/billionaires...
Travis Kalanick, the founder of Uber who no longer works at the company, appeared on All-In to talk with hosts Jason Calacanis and Chamath Palihapitiya about the future of technology. When the topic turned to AI, Kalanick discussed how he uses xAI’s Grok, which went haywire last week, praising Adolf Hitler and advocating for a second Holocaust against Jews.

“I’ll go down this thread with [Chat]GPT or Grok and I’ll start to get to the edge of what’s known in quantum physics and then I’m doing the equivalent of vibe coding, except it’s vibe physics,” Kalanick explained. “And we’re approaching what’s known. And I’m trying to poke and see if there’s breakthroughs to be had. And I’ve gotten pretty damn close to some interesting breakthroughs just doing that.”

I am so tired of elite pundits telling us voters that we’re too stupid to figure out Ranked Choice Voting. When you were a toddler you learned about second choices. “They’re out of your favorite ice cream, so what’s your second choice?” That’s all you need to know to vote ranked choice.
