Live your life so that Jack Dorsey wants to leave the board over you.

Mind is going back to that quote about how most people experienced the fall of the Roman Empire as the bridge falling down and no one coming to fix it.

"Even if one concedes that language learning can be transformational, the grand vision of modern automation's benefits can never materialize if its stewards are foundationally fucking terrible human beings disinterested in the contours of empathy."

So. Much. This.

"But to my eyes, the problem probably isn't going to be Skynet, the problem will center around letting amoral extraction class assholes apply half-cooked automation at scale onto deeply broken sectors in exploitative ways in a country too corrupt to have functioning regulators."

The Problem With AI Is Shitty Human Beings The problem with AI isn't going to be Skynet. It's going to be amoral extraction class assholes applying half-cooked automation at scale onto deeply broken sectors in exploitative ways in a country t...

"That's not to say there isn't plenty to worry about given the close tethers between tech companies.., military contractors, and our current reigning psychopaths incapable of hiding their erections about automated mass surveillance and murder."

I just want something that's not android to come along. As bad as iOS is now, every time I interact with an android device it's so much worse

Clearly no one at Apple cares anymore

How is the same company once known so well for attention to detail and craft the one rolling out things like this these days? #Apple

Who can afford an apartment in this economy?

Well this certainly explains some things.

We’re already here, that’s why it’s so familiar

Sitting around imagining how AI can "help" your customers without understanding their specific problems is just expensive arrogance.
3/3

Feeling this so hard. So many flashbacks to 2003, and thoughts of young people today feeling this way in 2040-something because history is a circle

I’m actually not sure we can come back from “prediction markets for war crimes”, as a society. I think this might be it for us.

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

Boycott OpenAI! OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, announced Friday that the company reached an agreement with the Department of Defense to deploy its AI models on a classified network just hours after Trump ordered federal agencies to phase out rival Anthropic.

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.

DMed!

D'oh! DMed you

i really can not emphasize enough that the most materially impactful thing you can do for trans people right now is hire them.

Hey, DM me! I'm trying to get as many good folks to Stripe as I can as we're hiring quite a few roles, and I can put out feelers for PM openings

Remember when you were learning about the holocaust and you had the thought "what would I do if I was there." Well here it is. Big scary powerful structures of government are coming for our friends who make this world a beautiful place and the only way to beat them is to become bigger and scarier

This is it. Way past time for everyone in this country - literally everyone - to find practical ways to support trans people and immigrants, this regime's primary targets.

Starting right now, find something practical to do to actually help people.

Oh hell yeah! I truly enjoy getting these in the mail, you should too

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

Kat Abugazalah, candidate for IL-9, on the Chicago Report debate absolutely crushing

Guys, idk, i think electing someone who can absolutely dogwalk establishment dems while calling for the end of billionaires, abolishing ice, and providing for the material needs of all people might have some juice here.

go, @katmabu.bsky.social, go!

Cutting students off from that friction snd the self-actualizing feeling of mastering a skill is doing them a disservice. It’s more about convenience for the admins & profit for the AI companies than it is about the students’ needs & best interests.

Anthropic ditches its core safety promise in the middle of an AI red line fight with the Pentagon | CNN Business Anthropic, a company founded by OpenAI exiles worried about the dangers of AI, is loosening its core safety principle in response to competition.

The AI critics have, once again, been right about everything www.cnn.com/2026/02/25/t...

Good call, their coffee shop is great for working out if too

lol, as a fellow PDXer, can confirm!

So much this. I’m back to working from home and I found myself wandering around downtown today, just because. Turns out I miss it already, even in crappy weather.
