I think most of the work we have to do in a post-AI world will continue to be what it has always been: ourselves, the social necessities. It would be good to get agreements about the social necessities back on a very democratic footing.

The Android weather app is so insistent on accessing my precise location. No widget weather report for the location I'm interested in unless I let them check for themselves that it's where I actually am.

It’s weird to assume that certain people *need* exposure to people who disagree with them, as if I could go a day in my life w/o encountering that shit and that my actual survival doesn’t depend on knowing what assholes think.

Trump's poop video is not a distraction, it's the thesis and organising principle of MAGA. Someone who has been full of shit their whole lives finally letting go of their toilet training and everyone else wearing it is the American Dream. It's been Trump's appeal the whole time.

genuinely crazy-making how much the national press is indifferent to the verifiable fact that jd vance is buddy buddy with internet nazis, and the degree to which this is almost certainly a form of solidarity among people with a similar institution pedigree

Easily having my head turned by strong ideas as I do, I have often thought that a lot of Hegel's phenomenology of spirit, with its debt to Christian theology, would be borne out by what proves successful in AI. This is just another grokipedia project.

This is the first time that I have even seen a death toll for Sudan.
“More than 150,000 people have died across the country and about 12 million have fled their homes, creating one of the worst humanitarian crises.”
This is a genocide in Sudan.

I eventually realised 'copy cube' is a separate question and the reason I can't copy it by joining the nodes in the graph is not incipient dementia.
This is the test Trump is referring to, the Montreal cognitive assessment. It is used to assess brain functioning impairment (such as after strokes or in Alzheimer’s en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montrea...)
Why would they administer this test to Trump.

I don't know how meaningful it is to say that China is communist, but there are things to say in its favour - they discipline some of their capitalists with real rather than exclusively financial dangers.
To remind the US president: China is both communist and working passably well, something he and the United States generally are being forced reluctantly to confront.

There should be a diagnosable executive over functioning for people who decide things too easily and hold to their decisions too tenaciously like RFK jr. People who think the secret to success is aggressive management style, not knowing what to do.

New big bars have appeared. This has more fat than the Musashi and feels a little less like space food and more like you are having a treat. Also gluten free, which is a plus for us. Both count collagen and other less well-absorbed proteins in the total but as a diversionary food it's pretty great.

My boy once went to school as Iron Man and his substitute teacher claimed, in 2017, to have never heard of that guy. I felt at the time that I was being punked somehow.
Teacher. When kids tell me their favourite streamer/YouTuber, I pretend I've never heard of that person before. The kids absolutely lose their minds.

poor areas of the country are poor by national standards BECAUSE their most influential people are republicans
The trend is real, but this NYT analysis at the Congressional district level has big ecological bias
Poor *areas* vote Republican, but it's often the richer *individuals* within those poorer areas that are most Republican
And many poor *individuals* rich blue urban *areas* vote Dem

The overarching theme of Trump 2.0 is that reality doesn't exists, that the material world is simply fodder for Posts, and that if something gets attention and retweets the people trying to stop you are irrelevant scolds. And they're going to extend that principle to actual war on a foreign nation
