One thing that makes you feel like you’re losing your grip on reality is constantly having to hear about the genius and brilliance of various Silicon Valley types while also reading headlines about how their businesses are losing sums of money so large that it’s almost impossible to comprehend
Meta's Reality Labs metaverse-focused arm generated $2.2 billion in revenue for the 12 months ending December 31st, 2025, but clocked up a $19.2 billion operational loss. Since the division was set up in 2020, the company has lost $83.6 billion on Reality Labs

One thing that is really bothering me about the emphasis on Alex Pretti as an ICU nurse and an exemplary neighbor is that his death still would have been senseless, evil, unjustified if he were unemployed and surfing 4chan all day. "Model" citizens are not the only ones whose lives are sacred.

Police have arrived. Arrests seem imminent. The crowd chants “let them pray” and “Minnesota nice means prosecute ICE”

If folks were honest with themselves they would understand that the point of AI is to inhibit your ability to think. The end of human thinking is the goal of those who create AI. This isn't even a secret, I suppose.

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.
Right.
If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests

a lot of problems wouldn't exist if we had a congress with even an ounce of self interest

you don't need to add caveats agreeing that the head of state abducted is a bad guy before opposing abduction of a head of state by military force. If the rule was any head of government is fair game then the entire world would be a series of decapitation strikes and show trials in foreign courts.
