"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The absolute collapse of their stupid AI ruse — hopefully followed by a massive wave of tech regulation and imprisoning the politicians who enabled this — cannot come soon enough.

Network media and big papers caping for and capitulating to this administration has so much to do with their deep-held belief that all Americans are fucking stupid. They're siding with the guy who says "Gas is $2 and groceries are cheap" as if we're not paying for gas and groceries

And this is why the corporate class shut down Teen Vogue.
WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

I hope that wherever Cassie is, she can take solace in the fact that she changed his legacy forever, and that's almost more important to him than anything. And out of everyone who tried, she was the only person who ever caused him to face repercussions for his actions in his whole ass life.

every single person claiming to yearn for this would kill themselves if they were subjected to the tyranny of the 56k modem for one hour
This is doing numbers on social media right now and it's so depressing how people truly yearn for this shit and want to preserve that feeling indefinitely like a mausoleum of false memories.

like, why not seize on this moment when masked ICE gestapo are disappearing ppl to also dismantle PPB & PPA’s identity concealment mechanisms?
bare minimum.
bare minimum.
drafting & passing legislation which bars all law enforcement from concealing their identities while on the job seems like fucking bare minimum shit right now.
same with explicitly threatening to prosecute federal agents who violate state & local law.
bare minimum shit which is weirdly absent.

A reminder of how much great writing late-stage capitalism has robbed us of.
Sidebar: I was recently offered a sit-down with Robert Plant--how about you guys just hang out!!--but I could not sell it. I think editors thought "this is gonna be about that bluegrass shit, isn't it. They're gonna talk about Blind Willie Johnson aren't they."

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.
