Earlier this year an insurance company's claims managing AI decided I was at fault for a traffic accident in Texas when I hadn't driven more than a mile from my house in Connecticut that day.

Okay, Ezra is confirming that he's hearing D senators are actually plotting to cave to Trump and end the shutdown WITHOUT any extension of the ACA, just a promise of a vote later down the line.

Call your senators, friends, NOW, and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding!

@uofcalifornia.bsky.social has again failed to agree to a fair contract after 16 months of negotiations and 3 weeks of mediation, so we're striking to protest the ongoing crisis of recruitment and retention that's endangering patient care and research.

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

gen-AI itself is the cult leader.

Altman, et al. are its high priests.

It has an uncanny ability to say want to hear and keep you engaged by expressing extreme confidence in its litany of half-truths, all to convince followers to give it money and spread the word of its greatness.
