If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Machine learning = “this tool has a purpose and actually solves the problem”
AI = “this has created many more problems but we still want to profit from the mess we made”

10/ The takeaway: If "the Epstein files" are released, that is not simply a political story; it's a modern-day test case/challenge for information integrity.
Steps must be taken to place those files under close scrutiny, using the best tools of digital forensics that are available today.

We’re watching a shift where AI simulates the cohesion and reinforcement that used to require an entire online community. A single person can now build a complete parallel reality with nothing more than a prompt window. Which seems bad.

Leggo che un rappresentante di Pro Vita ha dichiarato “l’esistenza delle Kessler non doveva finire così.” Ah no? E come dovevano finire? Costrette all’immobilità? Con piaghe da decubito? Con sepsi? Con metastasi? Sotto morfina per il dolore? Intubate?

“It’s impossible to debunk a shape-shifting idea like #AGI”. Very good piece by @willdouglasheaven.bsky.social
I had a long conversation with MIT Tech Review’s @willdouglasheaven.bsky.social about AGI; it fed into this very good read on the rise of AGI orthodoxy
How AGI became the most consequential conspiracy theory of our time
The idea that machines will be as smart as—or smarter than—humans has hijacked an entire industry. But look closely and you’ll see it’s a myth that persists for many of the same reasons conspiracies d...

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

60 Minutes is under new management and things are getting stupid faster than you might expect. Last night’s episode featured President Trump, which is currently being described as “nuts.” There are all sorts of crazy moments to call out, but let’s start with the recursively meta nonsense. 60 Minutes edited out a segment where Donald Trump tells them to edit out a segment in which he brags about getting CBS to pay him because of them editing out part of an answer by Kamala Harris, and he notes that CBS clearly did the wrong thing in editing Harris in the same fucking sentence he tells them to edit out what he’s saying.
