It’s kinda funny / harrowing that LLMs didn’t get smarter or less brute-force-y, we just got better graphics cards, and more comfortable with wasting obscene energy on what still remains the most overrated madlibs ever.

We Now Know How AI ‘Thinks’—and It’s Barely Thinking at All
The vast ‘brains’ of artificial intelligence models can memorize endless lists of rules. That’s useful, but not how humans solve problems.

NEW: A federal judge raised alarm Friday that the Trump administration appeared to have deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with "no meaningful process" — even as her father was fighting to keep her in the country.

Stephen Miller is running America
Easy to be flippant, but Trump going on the record to tell the media he is not in control of his govt and is being misinformed by advisors. Someone else is running the country.

A summary of outdated Western myths about China vs the modern reality of Chinese manufacturing, by @nickdrom on IG. You can't call it "reshoring" when America has *never* manufactured the core products that are now in demand.

ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments.
If there’s no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.

Let’s be clear. Trump's arrest of Judge Dugan in Milwaukee has nothing to do with immigration.
This latest attack is about one thing: unchecked power.
It is time for my colleagues in the Republican Party to stand up to his growing authoritarianism.

It finally happened. Just received my first confirmed evidence of ICE targeting an Afghan wartime ally (a former Afghan Army soldier who was granted legal asylum) for detention and possible deportation. He went live on social media with the agents attempting to enter his home in Oklahoma City.

20 minutes ago here in Venetie, Alaska, the skies erupted in a beautiful auroral substorm. Here is just one of many real-time videos I recorded during the show to give you a sense of how fast and dynamic the aurora can move.

They need to scare you back into civility and compliance.
As long as we're reluctant to cross the lines they ignore daily, they have the upper hand.

every person involved in this needs to be in prison
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

If direct air capture (DAC), a CO₂ removal (CDR) technique, costs $500 per tonne, removing just US emissions would cost ~$3 trillion annually (that's ~4x US military spending).
It would also require twice the total power generation capacity of the US today (and it has to be 100% carbon-free).

Angus Taylor was saying this morning that the Coalition's first task will be to "tackle inflation". Given Labor has already overseen inflation return to within the RBA's target band at 2.4%, that would seem pointless. And I still wouldn't trust him to deliver on it.
