The Grok scandal isn’t isolated; it’s part of a pattern. So it’s odd this CNBC piece omits that Musk himself personally reinstated DomLucre, a regular Fox guest and White House attendee, who was banned under Twitter 1.0 for posting CSAM. www.cnbc.com/2026/01/02/m...

Let's require publicly traded companies to post the SAT scores of all officers subject to board retention and approval. And the board for that matter.
As near as I can tell, this man was briefly “on the faculty” of a small college devoted to business education but he has big ideas for revamping the entire university system.
This article advocates for the “Faculty Merit Act” that would — get this — require all faculty applicants to submit their *SAT* scores. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Holy shirts that’s hilarious.

Ooh look, we’re seeing the “let’s attempt to deflect blame to the artificial construct that is The Demon Machine instead of the actual, breathing, fallible humans who made the Demon Machine” maneuver play out in real time!
AI cannot take accountability. AI cannot be “sorry.”

You have no control over the outputs of AI if you did not make it yourself, train it on very specific data sets, and create extremely rigorous control methods. Even then the safeguards are limited.

The creators must be held accountable

I'm not sure it's in the self interest of America's tech bro billionaires to suggest that we bring back public executions to punish the most destructive people in our society.
A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.

“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.

This is where Silicon Valley authoritarianism is heading:

📣 Working from home results in lower performance ratings📣

Managers give lower performance ratings to teleworkers than to office workers, even when holding performance constant.

Female teleworkers face an even greater disadvantage.

"There are about a thousand of us."

Yes, because the thing about girls is that they don't stay girls for very long. Which makes them disposable. And which means that men like Epstein need a huge supply.
NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Hero worship in science is rotten. There are no giants on whose shoulders we stand. We're all part of a community that spans time and geography. Getting fixated on origin stories is very Marvel. Science doesn't happen in heroland though.

We must change this mindset that the essential and most critical work in a field is always the first one. That distorted view has caused a lot of problems in psychological science already. The first work is just that—the start. Every field should be evaluated based on the complete body of evidence.

I’ve said since LowerEd is that neoliberal credential expansion usually starts by producing a degree to solve a short term employment bottleneck, for example in nursing in 2000s. The degrees get predatory once demand is met

The AI labor market doesn’t even have the short term labor market demand!

If all the left needed was policy that improves people lives, they’d win every time. What keeps them from that isn’t a lack of good ideas or evidence of good outcomes from those ideas. The biggest obstacle is the societal push to ignore what the lack of soft skills in everyday people leads to.
