the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

I think people should listen to what the administration trying to bring back spectacle lynchings, race riots, and middle passage-esque deportation voyages are trying to tell you about themselves. bsky.app/profile/bren...

Had the pleasure of doing an episode of It Could Happen Here. The question I considered was: What if you could print your own money? Turns out it’s totally legal to do that. Wanna learn how? Well, give it a listen!

At least he's taking getting the FBI back on track by *checks notes* ordering agents to engage in a Twitter flame war with an account called "ifindr****ds" newrepublic.com/post/215320/...
A text exchange where Kash orders Benjamin Douglas Williamson of the FBI to repeatedly respond to "ifindr****ds"'s post with FBI statistics. Truly one of the most fragile things I've ever seen a man do.

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

my political opinion on what Dems should do when they regain power is that they shouldn’t try to repeal all of Trump’s political policies and maneuvers, that’s not nearly enough, they need to overturn political policies and maneuvers dating back to Ronald Reagan. I wanna see pre-Reagan policies!

whatever happened to skepticism? I mean yeah sure it wasn’t cut out for the age of tech hype and influencer culture; if anything it was an enemy of their aims, so I get why it was shunted off the stage of human events. but I sure do miss it and hope it makes a comeback among the younger generations

Yes. I think the consensus among US elite pundits and senior politicians that the way to protect liberal democracy is *not* to punish elite figures who violate its rules is wrong. A norm starting at least with the Watergate pardon. The opposite is true. You need to enforce the law and Constitution.

It was removed from Tubu. Heebee sold the IP. Poodee won't play it in your region. It's not on Dippy. You can't find it on Weeno. Gumpy lost the rights to Pheebo. Poob was removed from the app store. The FBI have issued a warning to Poob. 3 Poob executives were arrested today.

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”
APStylebook @APStylebook
X.com
Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

The alternative to holding OpenAI liable would mean that no one at all is responsible for the harm. This is even worse than corporate personhood in terms of abstracting accountability poof! clean away while they trash the culture and rob everybody blind

Took my first flying lesson! My flight instructor gave me the controls pretty much as soon as we took off, which I did not expect, and then I flew… I mean I was doing hard banking turns, corkscrews, dives, we even intentionally stalled the engine twice. And when we landed, he said I was a natural!
