ONE TYPE OF PERSON ON SOCIAL MEDIA: I don’t like AI THE OTHER TYPE OF PERSON ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Pretty naïve of you to say that when it just zip zorped the gringle in less than seven kleebs. SEVEN. KLEEBS.

The "SI" thing is was intended to provoke this exact sort of sniveling response from the courtiers, to train the oligarchs to humiliate themselves for Trump so they'll do it again later when it really matters.

BAIER: The president says 'SI.' Are you into SI or AI? BEZOS: I do like SI, because 'artificial' is not a very flattering thing. Like, nobody wants an artificial sweetener, artificial flavoring.

How about “this clanker idiot just told me no tickets for twin temple are available in my city while I’m looking at the link for twin temple tickets.” Do you approve of that type of anthropomorphization? Or just the reverent kind?

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social

I strongly believe the problem is the opposite. The nonstop efforts to avoid "anthropomorphization" with jargon and overcomplex descriptions have created confusion for laypeople, whereas saying "The LLM understands many subjects; it thought about the math problem and solved it" is clear and true.

personally while I don’t dispute that Mao had a lot of horrible policy (both in terms of human rights and basic competency), I think “Mao bad” is a thought terminating cliche that doesn’t address how he was an instrumental figure in turning around the fortunes of Chinese people

students said “Maybe our university should not profit from this” and then donors, faculty, and staff called them terrorists and organized to deport them

never forget that our universities fired and expelled people for opposing this

This Sunday I had to figure out a faulty speaker on my record player setup. I thought it was the speaker wire. AI said “it’s never the speaker wire” then suggested ALOT of troubleshooting techniques. I changed the speaker wire and the issue resolved. It was not thinking. It was presenting options

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social

I have never, ever, at any point, argued that AI is sentient. What I have said is that it reasons and thinks. These are not synonyms for sentience. Metaphysics aside, it is actively dangerous and misleading to deny that AI is, for all intents and purposes, thinking through a problem.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.

Did you ever meet Bob Kraft?

Every Stancil post make you realise either a) he is more stupid than you thought, b) he is more morally bankrupt than you thought, or c) both.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve read in ages. This is not accurate. This is some sci-fi bro woo woo nonsense. Please do not take this seriously.

All you’re doing is proving that you regularly fall for tech company propaganda. You’re impressed by very dumb things and are unable to question the ownership structures of those dumb things.

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social

Frankly, I find this site's strange inability to admit that *something new is happening* a bit maddening and a bit frightening. There just isn't any honest comparison at all between these models and decades-old chatbots. The comparison badly distorts reality.

The Macklemore thing is more proof that pro-Israel activists have just lost the ability to persuade. All it can do is browbeat anyone opposed to them. That doesn't work when you're -25 in public opinion.

The midterms are shaping up to be a referendum on whether trans people should exist, with Republicans saying we shouldn't and Democrats saying maybe Republicans have a point on some of these issues. Good luck, everybody!

assignedmedia.orgDemocratic Candidates Abandon Trans Folks, Are Attacked For Their Support Anyway - Assigned MediaLeading Off: Republicans set the stage for further attacks on trans rights while some democrats continue to walk back support. Our top headlines as we start off the week.

getting the sense that some folks on the reading comprehension website don't know what the term "rockefeller republcian" actually means or the history thereof it's a very specific political ideology - limited safety net, cut regs, strong tax & spend on investment services (e.g. education, infra)

Bizarre take, Mamdani’s core policies are more and cheaper public services paid for by taxes on the wealthy

Sky Marchini@sky.skymarchini.net

One of the wildest things about Mamdani to me is he’s de facto governing like a Rockefeller Republican but slapped a “this is democratic socialism” label on it and everyone loves it Like, the dude tried to cut library funding, he posts photos of him shredding red tape, this is the New England GOP

AI works miracles. It finally allowed Billy here an opportunity to have a girlfriend

People who have heretofore demonstrated zero curiosity about what AI is, how it works, and until a few days ago were declaring it a largely fraudulent enterprise: "Ahh I see everyone is being ridiculous about AI again, well let me lay some knowledge on you about AI's risk profile"

Remember how Elon shut up and dropped all this Epstein stuff as soon as Starshield got a 1.8 billion dollar no-bid contract with the US military while also signing gigantic no-bid contracts for Starlink for air traffic control and DHS surveillance of the US Border all from the Trump administration?

I feel like this tweet doesn't get talked about enough.

There’s a reason that earlier racist shithead administrations blamed everything on illegal immigrants and then let them all stay! If you deport your scapegoats then people will expect things to get better!

Will out here telling everyone he doesn’t understand how top marginal tax rates work.

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social

There are efforts to fudge around this by talking about "precarity" and a safety net, but you're generally talking about a safety net that catches at a lower level than the one many of us are currently sitting at. So even if you needed to avail yourself of it, your life would feel worse.

BLS this morning, with revised 2Q data: "The labor share, which is the percentage of output that accrues to workers in the form of compensation, was 52.8 percent in the second quarter of 2026, the lowest level in the series, which begins in the first quarter of 1947."

I do think “every rich person went insane during covid because it was the first time they’ve been inconvenienced in decades” felt a little reductive at first but damn if isn’t more and more compelling as the years drag on

while milo gets to chit chat on TV with clear access to safety and basic needs, the US is flying untold numbers of immigrants to unsafe countries of origin or other countries where they don't speak the language or know anyone.

Every Republican candidate and elected official must immediately condemn Republican influencer and activist Catturd for this terrible opinion, since those are now the rules.
