They absolutely should become AI-fluent. But historical corporate management behavior and simple arithmetic indicates that many of those who do will still be replaced by AI.

New poll: 42% of adults say they would spend a hypothetical $75 billion surplus on reducing housing, health care, & food costs, vs 5% who say immigration enforcement.
Voters also say they'd want to pause Trump's deportations if they were causing inflation.

Same. Tell no one.
I don’t know, for a fact, that you, Mathew, are conscious. We’ve never met in person and my interactions with you are functionally no different from my interactions with ChatGPT, Gemini or any other AI platform. That leaves the philosophical question, “Does it matter?“
The AI anti-hype hypsters should read this. History is accelerating. I’ve been through three major technological revolutions. Never have I experienced one where I wake up nearly every morning to a major development.

Eric Thurber's video that US TikTok had under review for days, and isn't getting views.

I'm seeing multiple complaints that the new US TikTok is killing the reach of peaceful protest related videos. Which I guess shouldn't be a surprise.
Either something is broken because they are retraining the algorithm, or it's intentional. Both are bad.

The only way that nomenclature would work is, if the people in control of the various algorithms were completely disconnected from current social media practices. That is to say, they adjusted for those words long ago.
Now that TikTok has changed ownership in the U.S., it's as good a time as ever to again say how much I truly hate algospeak euphemisms like "unalived" and whatnot. I wish people would knock that off.
Agree with all of this.
For 99.9% of people right now, and that includes almost all people actively working to fight this regime, Signal is the best choice.
This is a good day to remember that Donald Trump is still hiding 99% of the Epstein files.
Illegally.
Criminally.
Corporations just want money. If people are being shoved through a meat grinder, it's just not their problem. Target used to have big lgbtq pride displays. It wasn't out of sympathy. It was out of pursuit of profit. Nothing more.
How can a company that employs so many supersmart people make such terrible strategic decisions? The Facebook phone. The metaverse. Virtual reality glasses. The wearables market imploded, before it even started, decades ago.
The essay has only proven to be more accurate with time: “Simply put, Trump’s ingrained and extreme behavioral characteristics make it impossible for him to carry out the duties of the presidency in the way the Constitution requires.” This should be the lede of every story.

Meanwhile here in Tennessee, @GovBillLee is letting kids go hungry😳
“Despite the urging of county mayors, child advocates, clergy & educators, Gov. Lee has declined to secure millions of dollars in federal funding to provide food to low-income kids”
FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS
For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot.
That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.
Media is starting to report the Grok child porn story but way too many are centering the bot's "apologies" and "admissions" without explaining that these are being generated in response to user requests and are not in anyway authentic or meaningful.
Screenshot of a post claiming the Wall Street Journal published an article alleging Donald Trump profited from selling pardons. Below the headline text is an image of Trump seated at a desk in the Oval Office, signing documents. Overlaid text on the image reads, “if you have been paying any attention whatsoever about anything.” An inset image on the right shows a document with U.S. and foreign flag imagery.
In any other White House, this WSJ article would be immediate cause for impeachment. With Trump just add it to the pile.
