I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

I hope someone has recorded this and posts it. CBS will send takedown notices but once it starts spreading they won’t be able to stop it

Sincerely one of the funniest things the WSJ has ever written or done.

www.wsj.com/tech/ai/anth...
In mid-November, I agreed to an experiment. Anthropic had tested a vending machine powered by its Claude AI model in its own offices and asked whether we’d like to be the first outsiders to try a newer, supposedly smarter version. Claudius, the customized version of the model, would run the machine: ordering inventory, setting prices and responding to customers—aka my fellow newsroom journalists—via workplace chat app Slack. “Sure!” I said. It sounded fun. If nothing else, snacks! Then came the chaos. Within days, Claudius had given away nearly all its inventory for free—including a PlayStation 5 it had been talked into buying for “marketing purposes.” It ordered a live fish. It offered to buy stun guns, pepper spray, cigarettes and underwear. Profits collapsed. Newsroom morale soared. This was supposed to be the year of the AI agent, when autonomous software would go out into the world and do things for us. But two agents—Claudius and its overseeing “CEO” bot, Seymour Cash—became a case study in how inadequate and easily distracted this software can be. Leave it to business journalists to successfully stage a boardroom coup against an AI chief executive.

Mohammad wanted to get back at his enemies in the regime, by leaking their secrets to me. And he wanted to rekindle his relationship with the CIA, which had not ended on good terms. He was angry. He was determined. And he was desperate. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

I think the main thing this shows is I mostly listen to podcasts in the car these days.

The Daft Punk is entirely the TRON Legacy soundtrack.

The real number one should be Drill Music Studio for the vocal warm-ups I do on the way to improv. That had to be over 74 minutes this year.
The image shows the top four artists I listened to in 2025: Daft Punk at 123 minutes, The Crüxshadows at 111 minutes, Kpop Demon Hunters Cast at 79 minutes, and EJAE at 74 minutes. This is out of a total of 115 total artists listened to.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

r/PetsWithButtons Join u/Pam|well • 20h My cat has started to use "vacuum" as a curse word Basically the title. I gave him a "vacuum" button because the vacuum is stressful for him and 1 wanted to be able to clearly communicate that the vacuum was going to happen and let him know "vacuum all done." He definitely knows what it means because when the vacuum is running he will push "vacuum" repeatedly and also add "nervous" in there too. But now he has started spamming vacuum after I tell him no, like he is using it as a curse word. For example, he will ask for "snackie" when we JUST got done with snackie and I will say "snackie all done" and then he will go spam the vacuum button. Yeah, ok bud, I hear you loud and clear that you feel "vacuum" about "snackie all done." Or he snuck a lick from the end of my spicy curry dish (I did not authorize this, I looked away for ONE second), I could tell he regretted this (spicy), and then he went and pressed "snackie vacuum." Yeah, ok bud, that snackie made your mouth feel "vacuum". I don't know what I'm asking really, just commiserating. I guess maybe he needs a "mad" button?

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…
