It's as unsurprising as it is stupid that the same people that are soooo concerned with preserving the history and traditions of The West™ have actively chosen to support Russia over Ukraine.

Living beings feel pain because they evolved the requisite hardware to do so. AI hasn't. It is software that analyzes discrete data and extrapolates patterns from it. That's all it is.

I think it's interesting if you want to argue that it's some kind of reflection of collective human consciousness. I do not, however, think it's interesting to play the game that tech billionaires want you to play by arbitrarily throwing another BS story into the AI news cycle to generate buzz.

Unironically the ruling class are just trying to recreate feudalism using AI. This is just "the peasants don't need to learn how to read or write when in reality the only skill they do need is knowing how to work the field. They have priests to rely on if they for whatever reason ever need to read"

Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

The fact that AI swarms modify behavior based on specialized knowledge is effectively meaningless without external validation of what they found; an ill-placed hallucination can crash the knowledge-base entirely that the structure relies on.

Recursion can certainly happen and is evident in current behaviors; self-improvement is specific to an instance and at constant and compounding risk of deteriorating.

A Space Force of some kind was pretty much inevitable, so I don't really care that Trump created it. However, an AI Force is the stupidest shit I've ever heard of, especially when a hallucinated intelligence report almost started a hot war with China last week.

One of the worst trends on the modern internet is the spread of bullshit psychology, especially when it’s dressed up in bullshit therapy-speak.

We should write down what a POTUS is and is not allowed to do somewhere and then make it so that there are checks and balances on their power.

I hate it when I have to intentionally write something sloppier than normal in order to make it read like something my my brain sloshed together rather than a dozen GPUs typing things out probabilistically in a dark, buzzing room somewhere.

Being a nerd while also being someone who doesn't enjoy getting fucked over all of the time is becoming increasingly difficult to reconcile.

The Roberts Court, the Trump White House, and the national GOP are acting like this is their one big shot. Either they secure the lasting end of US Constitutional democracy, or they’re in very serious trouble from the backlash. And they’ve already gone so far that there’s no other possibility.

The more you allow the court to effectively preside over the outcome of elections, the more it will do so. Do not repeat the mistakes made in the wake of Bush v. Gore.

Freeze your credit, enforce multifactor authentication wherever possible, get a password manager, and a hardware security key, people. #canvashack #shinyhunters

7 dollar gas. Well, I guess I'll buy an electric car. Oh those are 60 thousand dollars? Well at least electricity is cheap. Oh the government won't build solar panels because it's "Too transgender"? Well at least wages are going up. Oh the idea of jobs is fake now? Well at least everyone is happ

Today, the President of the United States is threatening the outright murder of 93 million people because he has been credibly accused of being a pedophile.

Yes, Pam Bondi might have burned down her career, social status, and credibility for the rest of her life, but at least she got nothing out of it.

My guess is as good as any on this front, but I don't see any reason why Iran would lessen its pressure campaign in the Strait of Hormuz until, at the very least, after the midterms.

The only thing more useless than a Trump official is Congressional Outrage™

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"
