β€œEnshitification” did not emerge because customer satisfaction is soaring. It’s fucking Ferngully out here and we’re little jungle critters chased into smaller and smaller pens of detached territory by malevolent bulldozers of consumption.

I realize Mdme. Guillotine is one of the gods of the online left, but she is a god of murder and cruelty that delights in that. Of course, that is why she is so popular- like Trump, she gives you permission to be your worst self, and in fact says your worst self is your best self.

The use of AI targeting is already a controversy regarding Israel in Gaza, and is going to be an important question in this war.

Pentagon Refuses to Say If AI Was Used to Select Elementary School as Bombing Target Did the US military use Anthropic's Claude to select targets in its weekend operations in Iran, with devastating results?

We asked the Pentagon a straightforward question: did Centcom use Claude to target an elementary school for annihilation?

They refused to answer.

Stock market tanking again today and oil *way* up. What's crazy is Trump could've just rode out the current regression to the mean on inflation, combined with an apparent productivity boom. Instead, did the opposite of econ 101: kicked out workers, reduced immigration, started wars of choice.

i love how one of the only really good things you could say about trump was he hadn't started any new wars, but now he's clearly discovered the big "start war" button and he can't stop pushing it

coming to believe there are fundamentally two types of recipes:

1) "carefully follow this long series of specific instructions, which if successful will taste like heaven and otherwise will devolve into disgusting slime"

2) "mix together these delicious ingredients and they will remain delicious"
