At this point Anthropic is already sucking up a huge chunk of the available cash, has a viable product, is already scaling, and has already thoroughly worked its way into the tech industry. Why do they need an IPO?

Nothing in You Can See Everything changes Holmes' guilt, the only problem it reveals is how few people like, and worse than, her are not in jail for fraud.

He seems pretty fly for a white guy

Alternatively if you believe in your concept, that the quality of your work will stand on its own, and trust the tool that helped you make it then being labeled as "Made With AI" would help establish the legitimacy of its use to the general public...

I don't think I would consider a grill brush, rockhounding hammer, umbrella, and toilet brush "tools"...

For one thing, these aren’t like tweets from a conspiracy theorist game show host, this costs a ton of money and actual resources just to mount the effort even if it’s a destined to fail prong in the vast gop and trump effort to steal elections Just the act of doing it is an expensive scandal...

"Save your money for in-app purchases" remains my mantra when I'm trying to convince myself not to buy something to this day.

The wagons are starting to realize they are in danger of being plundered...

WHY AM I SEEING CHRISTMAS SHIT ALREADY?!

As one of the candidates featured in these polls - the infamous one in late June that showed me plummeting into single digits (which was at odds with our internals) - here's the impact of this "experiment"

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

This changed from a casual interest to an impulse purchase burden rapidly...

Over many years of adverse conditioning I no longer feel any urge to check my email or physical mail, I rarely answer calls and I've turned off all app and text notifications on my phone because of all the spam texting over the last few months...

This conversation demonstrates the futility of long form writing about Trump. He lies so consistently and about critical and trivial things that short form content is the only way to consistently report on it without losing people's attention. Fact checking and massaging phrasing blunts the impact.

🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.

Goddamn its been 25 years and one of my coworkers just said "The building has steel beams" and it took all my self control not to say "I hope they aren't planning to store jet fuel in it"...

I guess it's a good thing I only play Bloons TD 6 and Vampire Survivors...

This was such a great answer from Abdul El-Sayed about his previous criticisms of President Obama.

Ha! My house has never been on Redfin! Let the crimin' commence!

Its a great time of year, I can start setting the overnight thermostat to "dog must use me like a taun taun" temperature

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Everyone involved in making this should be on a watch list

Can someone please start leaving pretzels around the White House? I can't take it anymore.

I don't love a spiderweb (without a spider on it) appearing inside my car while I was at work...

Was it bottled on an Indian burial ground...?

I don't want to lose real money or crypto I don't own to slots apps on my phone. No matter how many weird AI ads yell at me every single day nothing seems more depressing than wasting my time on my couch swiping at my pho...

One of my applicants built and opened a cafe with zero permits and is trying to use AI to bully us into letting him have his way. It completely diffuses any power he wants to project every time he sends an email with 8 paragraphs and two bullet lists with bold titles before each section...

The blame for Trump 2 lies with voters! That’s a bummer! But you gotta accept that!

It really frustrates me how often I key into a post about Trump/Republicans, think "Noice, gottem" and then realize its The Bulwark... It appears to require conservatives to appropriately punch up on other conservatives.

Anand Giridharadas: Cities are very unfairly labeled as these 'problem centers' by Donald Trump. One thing worth remembering is a large chunk of those people who end up in cities were failed in other parts of this country. We are holding a lot of your people who you failed to love and take care of.

The depths of Crunchyroll trash are fascinating, How A Realist Hero Rebuilt The Kingdom is basically anime Abundance but 5% more fun.
