there are PLENTY of writers who come from a blue collar background and have worked in the trades and i can't remember ever seeing one of them publish an op-ed about how everyone should pivot to hard, painful physical labor

I have not read the article, but the headline is a form of what we should be emphasizing all the time in various ways: the idea that LLMs are sentient is being pushed by their creators to create the grounds for a future legal defense.

Turns out the only unrealistic episodes of Black Mirror were the ones that were insufficiently bleak.

I do not like how so much of reality now feels like the intro to a mid-range dystopian sci-fi movie.

Gonna start a conspiracy theory among the “we’re the heirs of Rome” weirdos that all of modern geopolitics is actually just the descendants of Mithridates playing an exceptionally long game.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946. In 2007, the US president was born in 1946. In 2017, the US president was born in 1946. And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Before today, no F-15 had been shot down in more than 35 years — since January 19, 1991, during the Persian Gulf War. Before today, the U.S. had never had more than one aircraft shot down by friendly fire in a single day, let alone three.

Not an original answer, but: durian. Love it as a defensive weapon when launched from a modestly-sized catapult, but never could get into the flavor.

It‘s so weird that I don’t like AI when I haven’t found any application of it that makes my life better and also rich people are constantly threatening that it will destroy my livelihood and that of every artist I’ve ever loved while also reducing the overall amount of human contact in my life.

The use of the term “one-to-one learning” for parking a kid in front of a screen is incredibly dystopian. There is no “one” on the educator’s side! It’s just a child being left on their own!

One of the less-discussed things that seems likely to come out of the AI boom is a sharp devaluation of naturally-occurring “standard” human beauty. We’re entering an era where everyone online is going to look like they have the ideal figure, great hair, and perfectly symmetrical features.

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

These operations would be unlawful even if those murdered had all been criminals. But it's important to show just how much deception is involved from start to finish in this gruesome charade.

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

Thinking about why I, a person who has never lived in New York and never particularly cared about it much, feel so great about Mamdani winning, and I think it comes down to: he honestly likes people and cares about his community, and that feels like a revolutionary change in modern politics.

There is a certain percentage of people who go through life constantly scanning for anyone around them doing anything they don’t understand or disagree with so that they can spend their whole day being mad about it. Those are bad people.

This feeds my theory that our current politics is no longer driven by ideas or values but by personality types. Some people just go through life stewing incessantly over every tiny thing they’ve ever seen that they don’t like, and they’ve made that the core of the Republican Party.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵) www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein...

Here's something I always forget that most people don't know: finding & paying for your own attorney is the only realistic option for someone detained by ICE. There's no appointed counsel system, & limited non-profits who can only take a few at a time (if at all). These cases are a *lot of work*

If it’s run for profit, then it’s profiting off of … us. When I hear that the post office lost money, I think this: Good. We already paid for it. Why on earth should it make even more money from us? Who would keep the money? Would we see it?
