My thoughts are with our Jewish neighbors after another horrifying antisemitic attack, this time in Boulder. Hate has no place in our country.

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis.
Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

Don't ever let it be forgotten that the Republican-led House & Senate opened Pandora's Toxic Box of neurotoxins by loosening the Clean Air Act in 2025.
At the same time making severe cuts to Medicaid & Medicare (the latter which they promised not to touch).
Cruel and very unusual.

empathy is important, people falling down those rabbit holes NEED to know that you their loved ones will be there for them when and if they leave
but empathy must be paired with a hard line. "No I do not believe this. No I will not debate certain things. If you cross this line we no longer talk."

I think this comes from a good place but I disagree. A common thread in deradicalization stories is stigma: Once people start losing friends and jobs they reconsider their beliefs.
Obviously you should try to be nice to people but you also need to draw a line where you won’t engage anymore.

i owe much of my career to the years i spent obsessed with World of Warcraft and using it to distract myself from school
it taught me how to write quickly, how to manage teams of people around the world and coordinate their resources and skills to achieve complex goals

Everything I do for a living is based on this. The things you find yourself pursuing as distractions from the things you think you're supposed to be pursuing might actually be your destiny.

Resistence is NOT futile
Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”
He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”
Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.
Marriott still has my business.

“Just calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.” Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.

Goldberg said the level of detail in the targeting package that he received via Signal was down to the *names of individuals* to be killed.
That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF.
I’d be in prison if I fucked up that bad.

There is no world in which writing prompts for a machine to generate text in the shape of arguments teaches you to build an argument yourself, any more than there’s a world in which microwaving a lot of things gives you the power to project flame from your hands.
I’ve lost patience with the claims that (a) AI will somehow get better (b) there are patterns of use that are genuinely useful. Maybe so, but those are not what I’m seeing.
And the cheerleaders who tell my students that AIs are the future are, I think, morally culpable.

AI is essentially BY the numbers a bunch of racists and classists saying they have the right to burn the planet to POSSIBLY maybe find a financial reason, for a content push that mostly to be racist and misogynist
Some astonishing numbers in here:
-OpenAI loses $2 for every $1 it makes
-OpenAI projects annual losses of $14 billion by 2026
-To break even OpenAI needs to increase revenue 25x in just 5 years
-33% of VC portfolios are committed to AI
-5 AI-heavy stocks account for 29% of the S&P 500's value
