The danger to my job from AI isn't that AI can do my job, it's that my job is made even more precarious by the way AI is shaping ideas of the value of work. It can't do my job, but it can be part of convincing people (incorrectly) that my job isn't necessary.

The Discourse has become sort of numb to the fact that the richest guy on earth and owner of a major social media platform just routinely spits out the kind of nakedly white supremacist shit that until a decade ago you rarely saw outside of places like Stormfront.

Worth watching the whole clip, but purely in propaganda terms it seems to me, admittedly just an amateur observer when it comes to war fighting, that it may be useful to send the message to the 91+ million Iranian civilians that we are not trying to kill them.

when does making the himmler-at-posen comparison with miller cease being holocaust minimalism or thoughtless historical reductionism? i feel we get closer every time this monster speaks in public.

imagine what he's saying to his ICE and CBP mΓ€nner amongst themselves.

Christian nationalism is surfacing in the war on Iran in a shocking way The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has received complaints that military commanders are calling the war on Iran "biblically sanctioned" and a path to the end times. It's an alarming sign of Chr...

sad to say i agree with you.

using claude code 6 mos. ago was an exercise in screaming at my terminal; now--with opus 4.6 + all the under-the-hood stuff they've built to make it usable--is a quite different experience. it doesn't / shouldn't replace human int, but it -is- unquestionably useful.

citizens are murdered with impunity and Dem leadership talks about β€œcommonsense reform”

Biden grew sullen as he spoke of the surge of immigration agents in Minnesota that resulted in the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

β€œMy friends, I can’t sugarcoat this,” Biden said. β€œThese are dark days.”

And he hit Trump for ignoring those violent events in Minnesota during the State of the Union.

β€œHe doesn’t mention Renee Good, Alex Pretti, who were killed by Minnesota ICE β€” in Minnesota by ICE β€” offer even a word of solace to their families,” Biden said, appearing to mispronounce Pretti’s last name. β€œHe doesn’t offer a word of support, even recognition to Epstein’s victims sitting in front of him. During the entire time he never acknowledged them.”

elite media's autopsy might start with this excerpt. biden is said to be "sullen" + to mispronounce alex pretti's name. (trump would be described as "defiant.") plus elite media routinely sanewashes (/ignores) the torrent of gibberish + malapropisms that cascades from the cloaca trump calls a mouth.

New poll: Democrats' real problem isn't being too liberal β€” it's being seen as too weak Americans, including swing voters, see the Republican Party as 20 points more extreme than Democrats β€” and the Democrats as weak and ineffective. So why would the *Democrats* moderate?

At the risk of being serious, I think this U.S. poll relates to what just happened in that UK election www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

Alleged wolf tormentor Cody Roberts taking plea deal in Wyoming animal abuse case The Sublette County man charged with felony animal cruelty for allegedly bringing a wolf into a Daniel bar plans to take a plea deal. Roberts will likely face 18 months of probation and a $1,000 fine. He would not be permitted to hunt, fish, drink alcohol or enter bars during that time.

🚨Latest news: Cody Roberts, the man who brutally tortured and killed a young female wolf, is seeking a plea deal that would result in just 18 months of probation and a $1K fine.

For an act of extreme cruelty, this feels deeply inadequate. Wolves and wildlife deserve better.

basically for 2.5 millennia human ethical thinking has coalesced around the idea that human beings are active, vigorous creatures. one can point to miscreants in this lineage, but one discovers again and again this idea that activity, in both the physical world and in thought, is a telos in itself.

The Secret Service will soon offer each agent who graduates from protective detail training two tailored suits, according to sources familiar with the matter and a public contract solicitation.

β€œDHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin denied that account, telling CNN, β€˜This does not have to do with optics’ but aims to fix inequities for the β€˜men and woman who are just starting their career.’

likely the first time mcLaughlin has ever used the term "inequities;" possibly coincides with her discovery of the concept.
