I hear a lot of talk about AI coming for jobs at big companies. I wonder when we will start to hear more about small groups of AI-aided people coming after large companies? BlueSky is a great business case, based on what we see in many other places.

Holy shit. Republican Harriet Hagemen got torn apart at a town hall in Wyoming last night. In a state that voted for Trump by 46 points.
She tried defending DOGE and it went as well as you’d imagine.
“Deport Elon, Deport Elon!”
Watch to the end…

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.
11,000 people showed up.
Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

This is not just a musing from a dude with some various ideas. The next step is to hollow out the judiciary and also not follow their rulings, which have been against Musk’s efforts. This is a very obvious coup, for those not paying attention.

I hope people understand there are going to be months and months of cherry picked government DOGE datasets twisted into unrecognizable shapes and turned into fake "scoops" to justify endless demonization of popular and essential government services
A lot of the right-wing accounts doing “research” on USAID funding are using a website with a domain that was registered on January 30. It’s behind the Cloudflare wall, so details are scarce. The Twitter account behind it claims to be out of Utah, but who knows?
