Please read this nuanced essay on "AI" by the great John Scalzi. I particularly agree with his often overlooked point about the deeply unethical way LLMs have been trained. This was a CHOICE, and the "move fast and break things" approach that was taken throws the whole enterprise into question.
This Valentine's Day, why not snuggle up with a loved one and read my long damn post about "AI" and some of my current thoughts about where it's at, where it's going, and how much anyone should engage with it? Best Valentine's Day ever!

Great piece on @aftermath.site about resistance media. I think it's funny that One Battle After Another was more or less accidentally a film that captures the moment, but Sensei shows us the way.

"We are only getting started" in red tinted slo-mo should be in every Democratic political ad moving forward.
@icegov.bsky.social - Where in that mission does executing law abiding Americans fit in exactly?

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

I'm a Speed Racer and I drive real fast! I'm also immediately regretting a drunken bet regarding watching every 80s 3D scifi and horror film before the end of the month.

Seeing Speed Racer on the big screen to a packed house was the perfect way too spend my birthday. I finally appreciate the movie for the near perfect work of pop art it is.
Thank you @hollywoodtheatre.org and @moviemadness.org!

ICE does not exist to deal with illegal immigration - it is the front line for something much darker, and the biggest danger free and fair elections in 2026 face in the US.

I think my friends overseas don't understand what a big deal this is. The USA has NO PROTECTIONS for workers doing a walkout - every one on the street today is putting their jobs and livelyhood in danger. Please keep that in mind when you ask "where are all the protests?".

Please watch @taylorlorenz.bsky.social's latest video on the social media moral panic. Of course, legislation focuses on restricting consumer access instead of meaningfully regulating the industry. There's nothing new about any of this, and it always goes down the same.
