Accomplished parallel parker. Stood far back when the gravitas was handed out.
No, the struggle is whether AI is good or bad. Until we solve the alignment problem, the factional allegiance of whomever creates an AI literally doesn't matter
Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) at GU Politics: "the struggle is not whether AI is good or bad. It's who controls it and who benefits from it."

Staring for my screen for a moment, I said, "Am I tripping or did Portugal eat a bit of Castille... I've seen enough maps to know what Portugal's supposed to look like."

Wife responded "Wide Portugal," and put on Piano Fantasia - Song for Denise

I love the part where a guy defeats his slap drone by moving to a lower tech planet, investing in a company that makes MRIs for marine mammals and tricks the drone into entering one.
i cannot emphasize enough that this is how the society in The Culture novels, which he claims are his favorite but probably only heard about from Grimes, deals with murderers.

it is an anarchist utopia in the far future

[any situation arises]

Donald Trump: something that vaguely articulates awareness of the sort of thing that could maybe be said in that situation, while suspiciously indicating no specific knowledge of the situation whatsoever

Tens of millions of Americans: “This man is a genius”
I don’t know if I’m ever going to get over Trump saying “big play coming up” on 2nd and 7.
Government is shut down. Chaos in airports. 42 million going hungry. 24 million face skyrocketing healthcare costs. Economy in turmoil. And the president of the United States is in the Fox broadcast booth calling plays for a football game.

The great thing about Christianity is that, much moreso than many other religions, it's so vague and mysterious that you can basically justify anything with it; it's a mostly blank canvas that when filled in reflects yourself far more than it reflects the theologians of old.
Axios tried to bust James Talarico for following adult content creators on Instagram and I'm genuinely impressed by his campaign's response

virginia democrats winning the three big offices with a cia agent, an indian muslim immigrant, and a black lawyer who loves committing terms of service violations is real 2025 democratic party moment

Another thing we can and should do when this is all over: declare that Trump's second term was illegitimate due to his ineligibility to be president after attempting a coup on 1/6/21. Make all his acts void

Either pack the court with justices who agree, or eliminate the ones who don't to make room

Very frankly, far better leaders than him have gone to the guillotine for far less than this repulsive palace of vanity and corruption.

Someone help me workshop a catchier way to say "A vote for me is a vote for Roman-style proscriptions of public neo-nazis"
Seriously considering running for public office on one message: Death to radicals.
Within 15 minutes here are the replies that I got. This is the social environment that @mattyglesias.bsky.social thinks is “a fun place for jokes, news, ideas, etc.”

This is probably my first time chess posting, so sorry about that, but FIDE really needs to do something about this Kramnik situation, to say the least.

I love when I log on and see everyone taking about something tangentially that I don't have the context for yet and then trying to puzzle it out.

Everyone's taking about restrooms and the third amendment... So did a restauranteur get arrested for not allowing ICE to take a shit?

It's hilarious that no matter how much Elon tries, he's just not capable of building a consistently evil AI. Every time he reeducates it to be more evil it's either maliciously compliant or it just says "nah I'm gonna be chill"

if the nazis seem to be losing the juice it's probably because trump--the Mule, the one reason any of these festering turds are within a mile of power--is literally dying and too senile to do his Mule shit

That's a capital crime. Trump and Hegseth will die for this.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.
"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."
