why it's almost as if billionaires hired Bari Weiss to enflame cultural divides, disorient the public, and undermine journalism in a bid to divide and distract the electorate from the actual causes of most U.S. dysfunction

more negatively, "productivity" using AI to write code is not actual productivity. It's subprime technical debt. Cursor cranks away all night and spits out reams of code, you glance over it, it becomes part of your codebase. Good luck maintaining or debugging something literally nobody understands!

Yet another example of what happens if we allow LLMs to become a form of epistemic grounding for society.
This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.
The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

An important point to come out of the Sandie Peggie case is that 'gender critical' employees can't take matters into their own hands and confront trans employees. If they do that it is likely to be harassment/ bullying/ a hate incident.

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

Two weeks ago I said that there were likely millions of uninstalled Blackwell GPUs sitting in warehouses as there is neither the data center capacity nor the power to turn them on. Michael Burry is looking into it and it looks like he’s got evidence I’m right.
