You know it’s a good sign when even the skeptics of the AI bubble basically concede that OpenAI and Anthropic are going to go under. The writing has never been more on the wall

If an ICE agent felt comfortable enough to sleep on someone’s lawn, that probably means that people in the neighborhood had been feeding it. As this story shows, that’s dangerous both for the people and the agent

We’ve all assumed tech bros intended “NPC” as a pejorative, but its increasingly clear that they’ve actually always believed the non-player characters in their video games are fully conscious “agents” with rich inner lives. They presumably weep for Yoshi each time he falls off the floating platform

I think that he should've had Altman arrested for running a company committing cybercrimes

I know we’re all prison abolitionists and stuff on here, but surely we’re still all for summary executions for people who steal credit card info from people online right?

In DC—perhaps the city with the worst least contentious drivers I’ve ever lived in—a car is still way more likely to yield to me at a cross walk than any of the many forms of bike. The number of times I’ve nearly been clipped by a cyclist just blowing thru a stop sign …

i'm seeing a lot of people (right and left) give nathan cofnas "credit" for the campaign against jason arday, and he's reveling in that attention, but cofnas is just a halfwit with a shitty substack who received leaked information and posted it. he is a cretin, but first and foremost he's nobody.

Well, that’s a new one—writer at the Atlantic not only thinks college students don’t and shouldn’t register to vote where they go to college (and live almost all year), but aren’t able to! Genuinely think these people never leave their houses

Well, that's a new one. "College kids should be able to vote to overcome the wishes of the people who actually live in the place where they go to school"

I guess the Obama Center works better in person than in pics (its well massed & undeniably striking, tho I still think that siding looks way chintzier than it should), but there is just something sepulchral & forlorn about it. What could’ve been a community center looms over Jackson park like a tomb

Ohh, so this guys like real stupid

And now, class, we're going to study "salience," which is the thing that means,for example, that 95 percent of the country supports tougher gun laws, but not enough to vote on them.
