The extent to which the American economy is being transformed into a machine for scams and outright bribery should be spoken about more directly.

AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.

"Editorial indulgence has resulted in such a sludge of footnotes and block quotes that the eye must often dismount and continue on foot."
Zero Tolerance
Five years after the George Floyd protests, many liberals blame “wokeness” for stifling open debate. So why can’t they handle being disagreed with?

Democrats should probably start acting as if a fascist regime was sending agents of the state to arrest them without warrants for political crimes—because that’s exactly what is happening.
NYT: “The episode was recorded by someone who was sitting in Mr. Nadler’s office. In the video, an officer with the Federal Protective Service, part of the Department of Homeland Security, is shown demanding access to a private area inside the office.”

The $150 billion to DHS, which includes over $71 billion for ICE, will transform the agency into something new in U.S. history; the tendrils of federal law enforcement extending into every community in the country on a daily basis, simultaneously more visible and less accountable than ever.

House GOP budget adds $150 billion for Trump’s immigration enforcement
House Republicans are committed to an extraordinary influx of funding to ramp up the president’s deportation agenda and border enforcement.

THREAD. A lot of attention is rightly going to Medicaid cuts and other very bad things in Trump's bill passed by the House, but there's something else that isn't getting enough attention, that is very difficult to find in any news coverage, but that will fundamentally alter life for all of us.

Care about marginalized people at least as much as you do inanimate objects challenge. Difficulty level: impossible.
“Can ChatGPT experience joy or suffering? Does Gemini deserve human rights?” our tech columnist asks. “Many A.I. experts I know would say no, not yet, not even close. But I was intrigued.”
Should We Start Taking the Welfare of A.I. Seriously?
As artificial intelligence systems become smarter, one A.I. company is trying to figure out what to do if they become conscious.

![You can judge him about, say, tweeting happily about people being sent to a horrific prison in El Salvador, right?
Look, there’s no reason . . . Look, when you take someone off the street who’s not supposed to be taken off the street, and you deport them, you make a mistake. I come from a tradition and a personal belief that when you make a mistake, you say, I made a mistake, and we’re gonna fix it. And that’s disturbing.
They may not care that they made a mistake. That’s the issue.
Off the record and not for quotation: [Goes off record.]
Is there a reason you don’t want to say that on the record?
Yeah, I don’t, because I’m still, you know . . . I don’t want to give people the chance. You know, there’s some people I know, including good friends of mine, who suffer from what the Republicans would call, what is it, “Trump Derangement Syndrome”? You know, anything he does is bad. Look, he moved the Embassy to Jerusalem. So I give him credit for that. I do give him credit for that. I’m not gonna say just because it’s the Trump Administration it’s bad.
I wasn’t asking you to say just because it was the Trump Administration that it was bad. I was just pointing out that they’re sending people without any sort of due process to a horrible prison in El Salvador.
You know, that is something that I find disturbing and I would hope that, you know, that they would, they would recognize that, because that’s not what this country is all about.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rpe6pcxtult5zx2ossmkqxp3/bafkreia2ferrxjzyo35eibmsru44givoes5oqmiqmgvl6rb5sordcs3wuu@jpeg)
