One of the things I took away from the 60s and Richard Nixon, first mentioned by Hunter Thompson, but I believe to be true, is the fact that we believed, at time, that all our protesting, marching and sign waving was futile and pointless when in fact, it drove Richard Nixon to alcohol fueled madness
Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary

mRNA tech is some of the coolest, most powerful, most promising scifi shit humans are currently doing. They are being investigated to help with cancers, autoimmune diseases, M.S., stroke recovery, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and high cholesterol.

One billion percent correct opinion.
I'm posting because I've had several events in my life ruined by god damn inkjet printers. Just buy this shit and be done with it if you ever need a printer. It works over WiFi you don't even need drivers.

This is a fun book. You can read it!
It has come to my attention that HOW TO BECOME THE DARK LORD AND DIE TRYING is ON SALE at the Kindle (US) store for $2.99! I think this will continue to be true as we approach the launch of the sequel!

Incidentally, this is why I worry about the dominant position of AI critics on this site that "AI doesn't work and is just a scam"
It absolutely does work, in good ways (controlled studies on education, medicine) and in ways that create risks & problems. Pretending AI isn't real is a big mistake.

👀Today’s AIs are already hyper persuasive.
A controversial study where LLMs tried to persuade users on Reddit found that: “Notably, all our treatments surpass human performance substantially, achieving persuasive rates between three and six times higher than the human baseline.”

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Sorry, but I really hope people who love THE WILD ROBOT movie know it was inspired by my book. It's mentioned in the credits but most people don't read that stuff. If you love the movie you should check out the book! There's more to the story and it's a quick read.

The third-most popular podcast on Spotify is entirely about telling parents their kids are not autistic – they're telepathic.

"The Telepathy Tapes" is Taking America by Storm. But it Has its Roots in Old Autism Controversies.
"The Telepathy Tapes" is a very well-produced podcast. But even the top expert it relies on has her doubts.

yes, FEAR's AI is some of the best we've ever seen in a video game. the things they are doing are largely communicating information to the player and getting the player to move around the map in interesting and sometimes surprising ways.
