OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit
Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here
Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse
Media and universities: AI is here to stay
This is such a good distinction & I feel like quote posting is one of the main culprits for destroying it on social media. That brief thrill of slapping someone who upset you across the face while also putting a target on them so they get slapped 50 more times & start punching back? Not worth it.
All of his businesses and property should be nationalized and dissolved and he should be stripped of literally every single asset and dollar. Put him in public housing and let him live off of whatever UBI the next Congress passes.
"Rural Kentucky residents are unexpectedly facing homelessness and financial hardship after their mobile home park was sold for a proposed 2,000-acre data center."

“I really want to hold onto the distinction between someone who is actually my enemy and someone who is talking out of their ass, or making me mad right now, or who has hurt me, or become my opponent in a particular moment. Those are not all the same thing. And if I start treating them as though they are, that distorts my politics and makes me worse at navigating conflict. When I am dealing with my own communities, my responses actually help define, not only who I am, but who I am in relation to those people, and if I am treating them like the enemy anytime we disagree, I am going to become their enemy, whatever my intentions are.” - Kelly Hayes

It’s so funny that they pubbed this the day before “john roberts invented the trump era shadow docket to make sure fossil fuel companies could keep killing you and make money doing it” bsky.app/profile/cris...
Counterpoint: I use em dashes with abandon and will not let "AI" steal them from me. I was overusing them first and will continue to do so long after "AI" is a crater in our financial system, or our merciless overlords, or both
Good stuff in here, especially about "failure" & wanting things from a process that that process can't do (but what *can* it do?), & about allowing time, from @mskellymhayes.bsky.social & Tanuja Jagernauth organizingmythoughts.org/rupture-and-...
the president of the united states is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system
Never, ever, ever, ever vote for a Republican for any office.
I am a person who definitely thinks we should, like, not have troops doing things like "bombing Iranian civilians" and "blockading the strait of Hormuz" or like any of that shit but I truly do not think you make the situation better by not feeding them.
they’ll tell you this isn’t violence
Thou shalt not commit blasphemy against Samuel L. Jackson’s monologue in Pulp Fiction, motherfucker.

1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people.
The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work.

Exactly one year ago today:
I am hearing Amazon just fucked up a sports broadcast. Boo!
They also worked a guy to death in a warehouse last week and then told a tearful worker who wanted to help give CPR to look away and keep working.
They sell ANDOR action figures, of course, and of course the audience is 35-50-year-olds, but it's deeply funny to imagine children playing with little Luthen Rael and Saw Gerrera dolls.
CHILD 1: I think violence is not only justified, but demanded
CHILD 2: I agree, but haste could be our undoing
We have lots of anecdotal evidence about what AI does to the internet. Now we're seeing a new wave of research, including a new paper from Stanford and the Internet Archive that puts the number of AI websites at around 35%—and draws some surprising conclusions: www.wired.com/story/ai-slo...
This is honestly a fucking assault on democracy.
Disappointed, though not surprised, I began to describe various life- saving components of USAID’s global health portfolio, highlighting how we prepare for and respond to emerging pandemic threats; support the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV; and immunize millions of children from the deadliest childhood diseases. I spoke for about five minutes, focusing primarily on our infectious diseases work and hoping to keep the attention of people who seemed to have no experience—or interest—in global health. When I finished, the room was silent, the political appointees looking at one another in what appeared to be disbelief. The silence was broken by Ken Jackson, who chuckled softly and shook his head. “Wow, there really is so much that USAID does that we never knew,” he said. “This is the story that needs to get out there.” Joel, also smiling, chimed in next, echoing Jackson’s amazement. “I had no idea you did all this,” he said. “As a Republican, when I think of what USAID does in global health, I assumed it was just, you know, abortions.”
This is NUTS

As someone around Zuck's age who lived through the transition between College Email Address Facebook and Everyone's 65 Year Old Aunt Sharing Tacky Jesus Memes Facebook, watching as we did this to the internet was very dissonant and weird
Leo: "The message of the church, the message of the gospel -- blessed are the peacemakers. I do not look at my role as being political. I don't want to get into a debate with him. I don't think the message of the gospel is meant to be abused in the way that some people are doing."
Utterly bizarre how war policy is being decided and announced by an addled, deeply unqualified ignoramus from his bed at 4 in the morning on a social media platform he made up himself and everyone acts like it's normal.
