I love watching people use LLMs in public. They’ll reply to a breaking news article and say “@grok is this true?” Babe where do you think it’s about to pull its answer from

"Wow. A big drop" -- CNBC highlights that labor force participation is now the lowest it has been since in late 2021, before the covid vaccine was widely available

They are literally prodding, provoking, manipulating and tricking us into hardening our hearts, as if that will protect us, as if that will help us get through.

It actually feeds them and empowers them more. Turns you into one of their pawns.

Its nice getting old because everyone expects me to be embarrassing anyway.

This life is glorious and horrible, as am I, as are you.

If you aren’t loving this feral wild life what on earth are you doing?

What else is there to do that could possibly matter more?

I’m literally fighting off my own corny-meter to write this on here.

You want to bring the forces of cruelty and evil down?

Stand in love because they cannot comprehend it at all.

Move in a way they cannot understand.

They demonize empathy as a bad thing, so they lack any ability to imagine themselves as others and what decions they would make in their shoes, which is an incredible weakness.

It's also a classical journey through the warped mind of a bully- they really thought because they hit first and hard the other side was gonna curl into a ball and beg for it to just end because that is their response to being punched every time

The U.S. made this class of stunningly stupid, pudding-soft MAGA parasites who have managed to move through life without ever encountering genuinely meaningful pushback. This led them to starting this wildly dangerous war in Iran - and looks like their reality distortion field is no longer working.

Strategy is fundamentally all about developing a sophisticated theory of the mind of one’s opponent.

With MAGA’s Iran Adventure, guess we’re going to see what a modern war almost totally devoid of anything we’d call “strategy” looks like.

“MAGA’s fundamental shared quality is a total lack of theory of mind for other people” is a theory that keeps getting validated by reality - look at almost every decision they’ve made in the war with Iran, and how they seem constantly surprised by the unanticipated actions of other parties.

A few hours after NYT reported that the U.S. bombed an elementary school in Iran, killing many children, the White House last night posted this video mixing airstrike footage with Top Gun, Iron Man, Gladiator, Halo, Breaking Bad, Star Wars, John Wick, Superman, Transformers and Dragon Ball Z

This was clear from the jump, but the Venezuela invasion going as smoothly as it did, from a pure operational perspective, is going to prove catastrophic in the long run.

The media always treats the more sensational Trump accusations in the Epstein files with a level of skepticism that would be appropriate for Jimmy Carter, not the guy who bragged about sexual assault on tape, was adjudicated guilty of sexual assault, and is currently overseeing murder dot gov.

All I'm saying is Google had a vested interest in wrecking its magic search (people may have forgotten how insanely good it was, it was wizard level shit) because of how underwater they were on their AI investment and get you on to Gemini

Massie on Newsmax: "We're not getting the answers we need from Pam Bondi. I just spent 3 hours at the DOJ this week looking at the unredacted files. And I'm finding evidence of files they haven't released yet." (Note that the Newsmax anchor agrees with him!)

I’m with Rep Maggie Goodlander (D-NH) we need answers and we need answers now. Trump and the Pentagon are reportedly planning on sending 23,000 troops to all 50 states. Elbridge Colby won’t answer basic questions about this plan. Unacceptable, we need to stay on this story.👀

First they came for the trans people, and I said nothing because I wasn’t trans. Then they were like actually I’m pretty sure you are trans and I said no I’m not and they went okay well show us your penis then and I said what no get out of my face and they said that one’s a girl get her

I wonder if Claude would be “anxious” because the military is using it to bomb schoolgirls or because it’s poisoning the air around data centers or because it’s going to crash the economy or because it’s encouraged thousands of psychotic delusions or all of the above

A post on X from the betting platform Polymarket that says “BREAKING: Anthropic CEO says Claude may or may not have gained consciousness, as the model has begun showing symptoms of anxiety.”
