Grateful to The Verge for publishing my essay on why large-language models are not going to achieve general intelligence nor push the scientific frontier.

Is language the same as intelligence? The AI industry desperately needs it to be
The AI boom is based on a fundamental mistake.

I started a series of collages called “Redacted Topographies”. Using work from my catalog and assembled by hand, each piece is a geographic survey onto itself, reconstructing a Los Angeles that is long gone. Here are surveys 001-003.

I see we’re talking about good Star Wars movies on here and I would just like to say that Rogue One is the best outside of the OG trilogy. The Last Jedi is a close second. And I don’t care what you think (hahahahahaha)!!!

2025 is the year of adult contemporary Hip-Hop. I’m not trying to shade the youth because their interpretation of the culture is amazing, but that belongs to them. My heroes are putting out bangers and I really needed it this year. All love.

The two biggest advantages Mamdani has are a soul and an art director. They allow him to execute a strategy that makes Dem leadership look as out of their depth as the obviously are.

So let me get this straight… the fascist POTUS gave NYC’s Mayor elect a warmer welcome than the Dem leadership, who are lecturing constituents to “welcome” MTG into the fold because she’s being nice now? This timeline, wow…

I think these numbers remind us that we need to grapple with whether Twitter gets the amount of attention it does because people use it or because journalists still use it as their assignment editor and as the laziest, most inaccurate “Here’s the word on the street” source on earth.
NEW: YouTube remains king of the social media platforms in @pewresearch.org polling, with 84% of US adults saying they use it. TikTok, Instagram, WhatsApp and Reddit are notable gainers in recent years. Five times more adults use X than Bluesky (21% vs. 4%). www.pewresearch.org/internet/202...

People have largely tried to act like ICE/CBP failed and retreated from LA and that is completely untrue. If it weren’t for the relentless coverage of places like @lataco.bsky.social these stories would be completely under the radar.
ICE has been raiding my neighborhood and surrounding ones for the last couple of weeks now. They commandeered my local church (against the pastor's will) for a staging site and raided supermarkets, parks, Goodwills, bus stops, you name it.
The national media's been silent. So has @mayor.lacity.gov.

Engagement on our updates re: ICE kidnappings/fed siege of Los Angeles is significantly lower on Bluesky compared to Twitter. Do ppl on here not care about LA anymore? Are feeds being taken over by liberal commentators? What's going on?
Community members on the ground can't do it all. We need help.
