“If I were an accelerationist…” is a mental exercise EVERYONE should be doing rn.
Teaming, in fact.
(Empathy cuts WAY deeper than feeling aching for others…it is doing yr all to place yrself in another’s shoes/mind. It’s not a sin. It’s a ding dang superpower.)
As you run unexpected errands on any day where most businesses are closed, pls notice and give thanks for the faces on the clock.

The Jordanian family who owns the magic gas station.
And the Afghani uber driver who got me to my destination.
Thankful 4u.

My work keeps trying to make us wear clown shoes. They're going to track how often we wear clown shoes to try to encourage us to wear them more. sigh.
Is this platform still against wearing giant clown shoes or has it moved more towards acceptance?

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read
Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

Do yrself a favor + try to gobble down as much of Robert Caro’s humongous 4-part deep dive on LBJ prior to watching (or concurrently).
Amazing detail + incredible storytelling.

Here is a sampling of cores—including 6,000,000 year old ice via NSF Center for Oldest Ice Exploration—at the NSF Ice Core Facility.

X's location "transparency" feature showing many MAGA accounts are based internationally reveals what we already knew: The world is using American social media and American politics as a slot machine and social media companies are directly incentivizing this:

America’s Polarization Has Become the World's Side Hustle
The 'psyops' revealed by X are entirely the fault of the perverse incentives created by social media monetization programs.

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.

That's awesome. Being ass is the first step to being awesome! Way to go lil bro.

thinking about how my parents escaped vietnam, where the CIA destabilized my family's home country by spreading misinformation, and they landed in the united states, which is now getting destabilized bc someone in vietnam is spreading misinformation
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.
