How does a law firm that bills $1,000 to $2,000 an hour submit AI generated legal documents that no one reviewed?
The amount of blatantly shoddy work being delivered in the name of AI adoption is quite embarrassing.
A key part of the banality of evil is that fascism trains people who are boringly and completely neurotypical to be incredibly violent, as part of their boring job.
It literally could not possibly work if it could only be done by the tiny fraction of the population with cluster B syndromes.

"move fast and break things" isn't something that most people want, they want their programs to be stable and unbroken
I do think tech companies are underestimating the amount of

- new app fatigue
- useless upgrade fatigue
- terms of service fatigue
MAHA's leaders claim they want to end sickness, but they intend to do it by ending chronically ill and disabled people's access to the care that keeps us alive.
The MAHA plan for ending chronic illness is simply ending chronically ill people.🧵

"Cleaning up the risk pool" is a euphemism for eugenicist depraved heart murder. When the Trump regime takes health insurance away from people who rely on it to pay for the medically necessary services that keep us alive, we die. RFK Jr knows that 🧵
RFK Jr. told the House E&C Committee today that the way to bring down healthcare costs is to "clean up the risk pool" — remove the people who cost too much. He said the $4.3 trillion we spend on chronic disease is the emergency. He said most of Minnesota's autism services funding was stolen. 🧵
mRNA vaccines continue to show major promise.
In a small Phase 1 trial led by Dr. Balachandran, some patients with pancreatic cancer (one of the deadliest cancers) reached 6-year survival.
This is why sustained investment in science & research matters.

This is Willem Arondeus.
He attacked the 1943 Amsterdam civil registry office to destroy records that would be used by the Nazis to identify their targets.
He succeeded, but was captured due to someone betraying him.
His last words were: "Tell people that homosexuals are not cowards."
A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."
The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.
I really like this one from 1985 too!

Conclusion I conclude, therefore, that although electronic apparatus can probably paralll! some of tne simpler activities of nerve and spinal cord, for we can already see the parallelism between mechanical feed-backs and Sherringtonian integra- tion, and mayv \et assist us. in understanding better the transmission of the special senses, it still does not take us over the blank wall that confronts us when we come to explore thinking, the ultimate in mind. Nor do I believe that it will do so. I am quite sure that the extreme variety, flexibility, and complexity of nervous mechanisms are greatly underestimated by the physicists, who naturally omit everything unfavourable to a point of view. What I fear is that a great many airy theories will arise in the attempt to persuade us against our better judgment. We have had a hard task to dissuade man from reading qualities of human mind into animals. I see a new and greater danger threatening-that of anthropomorphizing the machine. When we hear it said that wireless valves think, we may despair of language. As well say that the cells in the spinal cord below a transverse lesion "think," a heresy thlat Marshall Hall destroyed 100 years ago. 1 venture
to predict that the day will never dawn when the graciouLs premises of the Royal Society have to be turned into garages to house [he new Fellows. I end-by ranging myself with the humanist Shakespeare rather than the mechanists, recalling Hamlet's lines: "What a piece of work is a man How noble in reason how infinite in faculty; in form, in moving, how express and admirable ! in action, how like an angel ! in apprehension, how like a god ! the beauty of the world ! the paragon of animals ! " In that conclusion, if not always in my approach to it, I feel confident that I should have won the approval of that bold experimenter and noble character in whose remembrance this oration was foLunded.

You'd have to start by vaccinating the super smart babies so that they don't die of whooping cough, I would imagine.

People find it difficult to visualise the size of the solar system but I find this helps: if you imagine the Earth is the size of a ping pong ball you are wrong. It's much bigger.
