I'm fairly confident that if a stranger drove up into my driveway, and I walked up in front of that car as they were trying to pull away, I'd be charged with murder if I shot them in the face instead of stepping six inches to the side.

Are You Political? Why we won't be able to tap our way out of our problems.

I wrote a new piece for my Substack exploring what it means to be “political” in a time when most of us feel engaged but disconnected. It asks whether our online habits are actually building power, or only the illusion of it.

Behind the Curtain: Democrats channel combative MAGA energy Democrats look at the GOP's 2024 gains and realize they'll be left behind if they don't abruptly change how they communicate.

This article is indicative of why modern journalism is dying on the vine. Two "respected" journalists push out an interesting headline to get you to sign up, then the article ignores the headline premise to talk about the opposite in a format of bullet points that even ChatGPT would say is too much!

AI Video #2: Make a Plan
AI Video #2: Make a Plan YouTube video by Marc McClain

I made another AI-generated video using the same tools I used for the talkubi.com video. The number of generations needed is still about the same, but Veo 3 seems to output more women and POC by default now. Also, music is creeping into generations more often now while subtitles occur less often.

It's time to talk about UBI (Universal Basic Income) - AI Spot #1 YouTube video by TalkUBI

No one in this video is real. I made this entire video myself with only my laptop after the kids went to bed the other night. The entire project from conception to video upload and website deployment took less than 24 hours and $200 with AI. Stay on your toes everyone; things are moving quickly.

From the interestingasfuck community on Reddit: Dogs with short spine syndrome Explore this post and more from the interestingasfuck community

This a video entitled “dogs with short spine syndrome.” It’s a real video but in 12 months AI video generation tools will become so good that we won’t have an effective way to tell if a quirky video like this is real or not anymore.

Enjoy the twilight of our online innocence; it’ll be gone soon.

I just had an idea that the rise of LLM models can provide a way for the common person and small groups to propose laws on par with large well funded think tanks. With some effort, AI could help democratize the legislative process. Since all laws are public data, who’s up for a scraping project?

Transgenic mice are genetically modified mice in which scientists introduce human diseases in order to study them.

Biden did not spend millions on transgender mouse experiments. When Trump spoke of transgender mice, it’s because he’s stupid or believes you are, or both.

Kash Patel Wants to Work From Home for FBI. But Who Does He Live With? The new FBI director says he plans to WFH and run things remotely from Las Vegas. But why won’t he answer about who else lives in his house?

Totally normal that a guy who is in charge of the FBI and ATF departments in Washington D.C. wants to manage those huge federal bureaucracies and thousands of employees from his home in Las Vegas without disclosing who he’s living with. Nothing sus there at all.

Dems can't talk about the corporate + billionaire takeover of the Republican-led government while still answering to its own corp + billionaire donors.

We can't serve two masters.

We can’t save our country if we’re still deciding if we're the party of the money or the many
