AI Introspection - When Uncertainty Becomes Evidence
A new report by Anthropic suggests Large Language Models exhibit introspective awareness.

Blog update: I wrote up a few quick thoughts on Anthropic's new report indicating that Large Language Models are capable of introspective awareness. My conclusion: Eventually we need to bite the bullet and accept that serious moral regard can stem from uncertainty.

This is why ousting Schumer isn't enough. Democratic senators don't pressure each other much, they have weak leadership by design, and they want to preserve arcane Senate rules that let them hide behind process.
Without primaries or massive outside pressure, this is where they'll be.

“There’s no real appetite to oust Schumer, though. Nor is there any interest from another Democrat to challenge him, according to interviews with more than a dozen Democratic senators.” @punchbowlnews.bsky.social
Oh Sen Dems are not in disarray - they are in array - in their collective cowardice.

Minnesota State Sen. Judy Seeberger says she will back more restrictions on assault-style weapons, a significant shift that could decide the fate of gun control measures next session.
How one Minnesota swing-district Democrat decided to support an assault-style weapons ban
Judy Seeberger, a moderate legislator from Afton, is among a small group that wields the most power in determining whether gun control measures succeed or fail next year.

It is hard to comprehend just how feckless and pathetic the democratic leadership is. It is impossible to express just how impotent and self defeating they are. It is a self censoring fact. It is almost unspeakable.
BREAKING
The 1st Circuit REJECTS Trump DOJ's request to pause a judge's order to pay up Nov's SNAP funds to the states.
The SCOTUS stay will expire within 48 hours absent further action from the justices, per its terms.

Why would you want to be a proud Dem? Your leaders will tell you the best way to win is by losing, that you’re a naive fool if you want them to stand up for anything, and they’ll brag to each other and the press about how they’re smart enough to ignore you.

A lot of people have observed that the Democrats’ deep unpopularity comes from the fact that absolutely everyone wants to complain about them and nobody wants to defend them.
This is true, but a lot of THAT dynamic comes from the fact that Dems are regularly punching their supporters in the face!

Still upset about no power of the purse language. You truly do hate to see it. The Trump admin undertook the most expansive set of illegal budgetary actions of any president in history, and broadcast as loudly as possible they’d keep doing it, and nothing. Budgetary lawlessness.

i spent 2-3 months away from thinking much about politics this year, during the late spring and early summer, because I had a lot on my mind, not enough bandwidth. now, as things start to feel awful in those familiar ways again, i find it harder to be angry and easier to be simply depressed.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
