Grateful to The Verge for publishing my essay on why large-language models are not going to achieve general intelligence nor push the scientific frontier.

Is language the same as intelligence? The AI industry desperately needs it to be
The AI boom is based on a fundamental mistake.

The purpose of DOGE was to exfiltrate the private data of hundreds of millions of Americans to Palantir's servers
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.

I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail
DOGE 'doesn't exist' with eight months left on its charter
U.S. President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency has disbanded with eight months left to its mandate.

Wow again. Ruha Benjamin wrote Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code.

From the blurb: "From everyday apps to complex algorithms, Ruha Benjamin cuts through tech-industry hype to understand how emerging technologies can reinforce White supremacy and deepen social inequity."

You don't have to be a lawyer to understand that the factual statement "you're not required to follow unlawful orders" does not negate the requirement to follow lawful orders.

We need to return to the 92% top marginal tax rates of the Eisenhower administration not because we need the wealthy's money but because we need them to have less of it.

(Though perhaps more importantly, we need to tax proceeds from loans collateralized by unrealized gains as regular income.)
The richest 100 Americans gave $1.1B to the 2024 election. For comparison, between 2000 and 2010, they spent an average of $21 million on federal elections.

WHOA. The FBI was/is spying on a Signal chat for a New York immigration court watch group, claiming they were “anarchist violent extremist actors.”

Your reminder that the government is watching and don’t say anything in a big group chat you wouldn’t say on TV.

New: cops used Flock AI-enabled cameras to monitor No Kings protests around the country. Also monitored No Hands protests and protests against DOGE.

"Should serve as a warning of how it may be used in the future to suppress dissent."
