Honestly, during the rise of fascism isn’t the time to be in favor of restricting gun rights. The second one leads to a whole lot more chaos, but vulnerable minorities shouldn’t have their ability to defend themselves restricted until guns go away for everyone.

Mamdani: Why should I debate Trump's puppet when I could debate Trump himself? If Trump is serious about this, he should come to New York City. We can have as many debates as he wants about why he is cutting snap benefits for hungry New Yorkers just to fund tax cuts for his billionaire donors

Something Awful, 4chan, and GameFAQs are to 2015-2025’s internet what the Mexican-American War was to the American Civil War and the Spanish Civil War was to World War II.

This is Roux. She was found as a stray on a country road. When she began vomiting blood, vets discovered she has multiple liver shunts. Thanks to your support of our merch, @15outof10.org is covering her vet bills and lifelong medication and bloodwork so she can enjoy life with her new family. ❤️‍🩹
a beagle mix stands and poses on a vet’s exam table, her brown face turned slightly. she has little white fur socks on each foot and a pink, bone-shaped tag on her collar. Roux the beagle mix sits on a beige armchair next to a throw pillow that looks like a blond highland cow. the pup is wearing a plastic cone around her neck, and her light pink tongue is hanging out of her mouth. Roux is snuggled up in a person’s arms as they lean in to give her a kiss on the cheek. she’s got her booty supported and her front paws hooked over the human’s hand.

I got interviewed by KNPR, the local Vegas NPR affiliate, and they put the interview in their Desert Companion magazine. I'll post the web version when it's out
I’LL NEVER FORGIVE THEM’ Vegas-based tech observer Ed Zitron on the empty hype of AI, clueless tech lords, and what he thinks of Las Vegas By Lissa Townsend Rodgers have heard about artificial intelligence and how it’s In 2025, even those who can barely operate a cell phone going to shape the future. But while many are excited about the promise, tech journalist and podcaster Ed Zitron is suspicious of the hype. “All of these companies are claiming that large language models, OpenAI, ChatGPT, and the like, is the next big thing,” he says. “The problem is, the actual efficacy, the actual abilities of these programs, have been the same for about two years now. These companies keep growing, their stock valuations keep going up. But it’s not coming from any AI sales.” Born in England, Zitron attended college in Pennsylvania and settled in Las Vegas, where he founded a public relations company. In 2020, he began the “Where’s Your Ed At” news- letter, a caustic, clever examination of the ways we’re failed by the tech that’s supposed to improve our lives. Last year, he began the award-winning Better Offline podcast, which has featured guests from former FTC chair Lina Khan to MIT economist Daron Acemoglu to comedian Andy Richter. Zitron spoke to Desert Companion about the AI bubble, the business idiot, and the honesty of Las Vegas. Here’s an edited version of that conversation. What were your early experiences with technology? I was the dumbest kid in private school and did not have friends. So tech really was my lifeline. ... I was fascinated by the fact that you could connect with people all over the world, that you could play games with them. I was actually a games journalist at 16, one of the first people to cover online gaming, MMORPGs like World of Warcraft, in England. Yeah, tech was a big part of my childhood. Is that why you’re so vexed by what’s happening to technology? It’s personal? Absolutely. I hate these bastards. I’ll never forgive them for what they’ve done… complete nonsense. Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, claimed that 50 percent of white-collar jobs will be gone in the next one to five years. Complete nonsense based on nothing. … The AI bubble is a hysterical event where these com- panies pretend — and straight-up lie — about what their products can do in the hopes that they can keep boosting their stock valuations. So, you’ve got all of these compa- nies, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and the like, spending hundreds of billions of dollars in capital expen- ditures to build these massive data centers and filling them full of these GPUs sold by one company, Nvidia. But no one’s making any money. In fact, these things are extremely unprofitable. OpenAI in 2024 spent $9 billion to lose $5 billion. Imagine if you or I did that. Would we be able to get more money out of the bank? Of course not. So how are they getting away with it? I have this grander theory called the business idiot. I believe our economy and the large structures behind it, the people in power, are completely disconnected from any kind of production or understanding of their customers. Not just MBAs, also the middle managers that you hate — the people that don’t seem to do anything, but always seem busy. They’re like the people inside the cave that Plato talked about. They see the shadows: “Oh, AI’s big now!” And I think you’re seeing a war between the business idiots and those of us who actually do the work. I’ve heard so many stories about bosses telling people to use AI. Why don’t the bosses use it, if AI is so good? Because it doesn’t work. The main paradigm all of this is built on is large language models. They are probabilistic, which means that they generate the next thing based on how likely it’s the right one. So if you ask it for an image of a cat, these things don’t have con- sciousness. It says, “I’ve been asked for a picture of a cat; based on my training data, this is the thing that approximates cat.” And it’s pretty good at guessing, but it d…

$53 billion is nothing in real estate no one knows what anything costs it’s so annoying.

If $53 billion was enough to do price setting in real estate Jeff Bezos and dozens of others would have done it already, I promise.

not many but I have people in my life who’ve been radicalized in such a specifically braindead way that they’d celebrate the murder of someone who:

1) isn’t largely to blame for why NYC is so expensive and
2) wasn’t even the intended target
