This is the near-universal experience of being vaguely familiar to people on social media, I’m afraid. I am absolutely nobody - a dull office worker - and yet I repeatedly had e.g. an MP’s husband RTing me to his rabid supporters who would roar dog’s abuse at me for days. Not fun! But I got over it.

Musk's main achievements: taking credit for inventing car tech that is now being surpassed; adding annoying design elements and juvenile easter eggs to said cars; gaming the stock market with lies and nonsense; filling Earth's orbit with an impenetrable field of debris that may end space exploration

It's exactly this. Musk never gets called on the fact that he's been 10 years out from a moon colony for the last 16 years; Republicans never get called on anything; why wouldn't CEOs start testing out this new accountability-free zone and just say whatever's convenient to manipulate the moment?
I work in procurement and our vendors have been rolling out AI systems and... it has been a disaster. The AI gets everything wrong and I have to navigate a labyrinthian telephone menu to get to a human to fix it.
This has big "We'll colonize the moon in 10 years!" Musk energy.

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

American democracy can absolutely withstand a non-legally binding EO about voter ID.
The president does not control state election requirements.
Organizers, activists and operatives are prepared for Republicans to try to mess with election results as they have been for decades.

This may be the most dangerous development of all. It will give Trump fake legal pretext to reject Nov election results. American democracy has like 9 months left.

The point is that being able to search for crimes without warrants or process of any kind is a scary power, one that has long been contested. Trump’s ICE are trampling over constitutional protections that were a concern long before the revolution

We’re seeing on a global scale the effect of one toxic man in a workplace: even when everyone knows his schemes are petty and stupid, they still have to waste time and capacity to create defences against them, that could be used for doing way more important things they were originally hired to do.

I remember reading once that everyone thinks AI will replace jobs in someone else’s field, not their own, because any level of expertise immediately puts the lie to AI “capability.”
that AI will definitely take over programming is mainstream knowledge even though it's *not true*.
so we have multiple non-techies who are keenly good in their own fields talking like this hilariously false claim is true.
they fell for the brochure. but what's the path to this factoid falling?
