I’m guessing the results from the first batch of GPUs in space are bad because instead of hearing about how wonderful orbital data centers are Elon has pivoted hard towards “only I can break regulations fast enough to build regular earth based data centers, unlike those losers at Coreweave”

I think the future analogy here for Dems is what Trump did to Columbia University.

Elizabeth Holmes is an outlier but she’s part of a whole spectrum through which our society has become way too indulgent — in business, politics, policy, media, and beyond — of people who lie to or mislead others. www.slowboring.com/p/our-cultur...

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

Truly one of the great mysteries of our day is why every American doesn’t root for a guy who transformed our public square into Gab Zero Sugar, took a chainsaw to USAID, and kicked off Trump 2.0 with a Nazi salute. Racking my brain but can’t figure out why he isn't unversally loved.

An attempted attack on a Hindu temple came amid a weeks-long right-wing frenzy over "The Indian Question"; police found a manifesto from the alleged shooter "containing statements expressing white supremacist and extremist ideologies."

in addition to everything else this is just a genuinely stupid person

I'm not saying every "dirtbag leftist" was and is an amoral garbage bag, but I'm not not saying that.

I was, because I didn't (and don't) think the state should hold vast power over the rights of individuals, like, say, the right to deport and denaturalize someone for having takes they don't like. the problem is that the vast majority of "libertarians" also want to deport people for their takes.

hi I’m your new press secretary and this is my first time reading words out loud www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

I am normal, I don't hang out with platforms and people that sell child porn. That's who I was ten years ago; that's who I've stayed. That's *the big things*. It is the people who have stayed on Twitter who have changed, and who have not realized it. They embrace the dumpster fire, and can't see it.

Everyone involved in this process — including the Palantir employees — have to be investigated and probably go to jail.

Sometimes I come across a screenshot of a normie using ChatGPT with memory on (viz. this from TikTok via Twitter) and people get crazy cooked even just through bare chatbot interactions. Persistent interaction with long-running agents via texting/voice will be another 4o style mass psychosis event.

The most notable thing of the last so hours and the Schmitt-Hawkeye screw up of epic proportions, is how Trumpites are primed to pump out any narrative handed to them without thought or reflection. It’s Putinesque.

observing for no particular reason that you should be treating inference providers as dumb pipes because their only way to ramp up the extraction machine on you is to sell a product that you can't get out of

Best part is when Schmitt gets angry that she points out he has the team wrong, as though he's the one who was wronged bsky.app/profile/atru...

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

Megan McArdle's WaPo column celebrating the end of the woke left's ability to "cancel" right-wing voices over their social media posts, while making no mention of @karenattiah.bsky.social's legally enforced reinstatement to the WaPo after being fired for her social media posts, is chef's kiss.

“i woke up every morning and name searched myself on twitter. i am normal by the way”

I wonder what it would be like to write the same column, over and over again, endlessly. Seems like it’d be boring. But maybe it brings one comfort, like having your parents read you the same story every night before you go to bed.

I'm about to rebrand all my cron jobs to AI agents and raise a $100,000,000 seed round.

Women trying to succeed in Silicon Valley AI and effective altruist spaces are reporting feeling serious social pressure to attend sex parties - where people have reported being sexually assaulted, like below. Events like Aella’s “Slutcon,” which is happening again this weekend.

There are too many people in congress who would be happier doing this, and that's part of why our politics is so stupid bsky.app/profile/avit...

some chud interviewing for patel’s FBI: “if anything the goat fucked *me*”

Imagine controlling government for four out of the six years Trump has been POTUS and launching a rescuing America plan.

This site is legitimately unhinged and unserious. Trump really isn't perceived as being that bad based on what I'm seeming from this site cause there is still absolutely no urgency to stop his party from staying in power. Maybe we need 20 years like Orban got for people to get serious

I can't stand this kind of "I'm not saying I want the Republican to win, I'm just saying I want the Democrat to lose" evasive non-sequitur, but it's also a dispositive tell that the person making the argument knows perfectly well that they're advocating an indefensible position
