Today's the day! My new book MORE EVERYTHING FOREVER is finally out! If you want to understand why tech billionaires are so obsessed with impossible ideas about space and AI — and why that's dangerous — this book is for you. #MoreEverythingForever www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/adam-...

Love this for him

come for a meme-fueled discussion of one of the interesting topics around, stay for me shocking @adambecker.bsky.social and momentarily derailing the whole deal by shouting out @cara.city's incredible bumper sticker creation

you know how there are literature and journalism prizes? i propose that we introduce a system of literature and journalism demerits. if you do bad gonzo journalism that turns you into a mouthpiece for big tech it should earn your book a demerit that appears on the cover like prize stickers do

Dave is dying for our sins. (Specifically, the sin of allowing Kevin Roose to have any kind of platform.)

I had so much fun chatting with @adambecker.bsky.social this morning, it really got my Monday started right... give the VOD a watch if you missed it live! youtu.be/Od5bsEgyeJM

Going to talk with @niedermeyer.online LIVE in an hour here: stream.place/niedermeyer.... Come join us!

Right, so, male influencers are being sent out to tell Black people that resisting data centers is wrong actually because people don't understand how to really measure their water use. It’s an appeal to scientific expertise intended to intimidate Black people.

@adambecker.bsky.social read this terrible AI doomer book so you don’t have to. #datmpodcast #noai #siliconvalley @multitudeshows.com Listen Now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7BT...

I have been praying for this kind of pushback from Democrats against Elon Musk for a long time now and I am thrilled that the Talarico camp is leaning into it. Light. Him. Up.

Are AI Doomers in a cult? @adambecker.bsky.social explains it all in this week’s episode. Listen now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7BT... #datmpodcast #ai #science #noai #cult #doomers #aidoomers #siliconvalley @multitudeshows.com

Everything these guys do to avoid the billionaire’s’ tax is going to radicalize people to vote for it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/21/t...

this is true and we should just do it

It pains me that we have to talk about this. But to build a better world, we need to understand what we're up against. The AI doomers are useful idiots for the AI industry. We can't let them dominate the conversation about the future. We have to dream of something more, and more human.

let's teach the world's richest racist that actions have consequences. vote.

no he won't that isn't true

pretty devastating blow to millennials to hear LCD Soundsystem on TV ads for Elon's satellite thing

genAI boosters are always like “you think you’re better than me because you drew a picture? You think you’re better than me because you read a book?” and it’s like, well, no, but you seem very unhappy

Europe needs to tell Musk to go fuck himself.

The idea that something is now a nonnegotiable because it is widely used is absurd. I am 45. Do you have any idea how much and how often the consumer landscape has changed over the course of my life? Demand, rules, infrastructure—all of these things change.

watch the movie, you'll see why they're doing this

I'm excited and humbled to be giving this talk at the University of Kentucky on November 18th! Thanks to @lecagle.bsky.social for setting this up. Tickets are free but are somehow already half gone, so get them now! finearts.uky.edu/singletary-c...

Nice to see Tesla reclaiming from OceanGate the cutting edge of new and embarrassing ways for the very rich to kill themselves.

What would happen if you took a stock market bubble bigger than the dot-com bubble and combined it with a pile of risky debt bigger than the one that caused the 2008 financial crisis? You'd get something that looks a lot like the AI bubble we have today. www.openmarketsinstitute.org/publications...

Just finished reading this. A gorgeous and vulnerable book. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Remember, this is the same guy who thinks the Great Molasses Flood of 1919 was a *natural disaster.* These are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand. m.youtube.com/watch?v=HCfw...

Biologist @cbo.bsky.social is our guest this week! @adambecker.bsky.social and Brandon talk about eugenics and how culture shapes science. LISTEN NOW! #datmpodcast #science #noai #biology #scifi #eugenics #darwin #genetics @multitudeshows.com

yessss this rules ❤️😭

If you want to hear more about why these are a ridiculously stupid idea, check out our podcast episode with @adambecker.bsky.social in which Adam makes the most pained expressions I have ever seen bsky.app/profile/alex...

Very excited to be going home to this furball in just a few hours.

This prick will never be president. Vote for 40, vote against 41 and 42. Send a message. They can buy our governor, but they can't buy the people. Billionaires shouldn't exist. It's time to tax their hoarded wealth away.

It's important to remember that the AI doom scenario assumes not only that intelligence is a single well-defined thing, but also that intelligence solves literally every single problem, and that in every conflict overwhelming intelligence always wins. This is just not how anything works.
