I’ve had way too much coffee today

Gozer: “The choice is made!”

A thing that I keep thinking about with the US-Iranian war is that all of the diplomatic missteps that we're making that keep threatening the ceasefire, etc, are all SUPER predictable things that people who have spent any time studying the regime would know to avoid.

Hell yeah

The thing about Kurzweil in particular, but the singularity people in general is that they all tend to think of AGI/AI/whatever as not having any constraints in the real world.

Every ... single... time...

Spot on. The most important point IMO about Vance talking about Just War Theory is the apparent hostility to the very notion of LOAC.

This feels like your drunk uncle at Thanksgiving trying to explain some random Facebook post that he shared at 3 am the night before.

“Having been a Catholic for nearly five minutes, I am eminently qualified to explain it to the Pope…”

As we all know, Bessent is actually an idiot.

I was going to say, when I was in fire school I got to know a lot of Fire Marshal/FPS folks and most of them went hard into edge cases like this after getting over the initial shock of a new edge case being found.

Hassett right

Bezos is vibe journalisting...

Imagine being an economist and advisor to the president and thinking that this is a reasonable statement to make...

I am broken-hearted at the terrible news that my alma mater, @hampshirecollege.bsky.social, after 56 yrs, is closing. Its death is a victory for conformism, for corporatism, for higher education's dull love of hierarchy & status. It's a grievous defeat for imagination & experimentation.

CENTCOM rn

The new 3 Body Problem season is going to be *really* immersive.

Basically, what I’ve taken from my time on LinkedIn is that SOC2 is trash, because some people lie to the auditors, so what you really need is to buy an AI tool that you can lie to instead… and people (who are trying to sell you the tool) seem extremely passionate about this argument.

Definitely Gabe, I had my barfyman moments but most of them were on the discovery hacking forums and most of it was well earned 😂

Basically me in 1995. lol

It's trump so it could be even dumber than that, and have no purpose whatsoever, but that's my best guess.

So, my theory is that we've created a strategically incoherent blockade to pressure Europe to come in and take over opening the strait.

It's a really stupid and embarrassing policy that does a lot of damage for no good reason, but I think that's probably it, such as it is.

My 5 year old just interrupted me while talking to my wife and declared in the most authoritative voice I think I've ever heard him use, "I believe this nation should comit itself to landing a person on Venus and returning them to the earth safely before this decade is out."

Blue Cheese the swearing mostly

One of the best things about being in your fourties’ is that you don’t give a shit what The Times thinks about how you should dress… like, at all.

It is kinda darkly funny how transparently obvious it was that Vance was trying to set himself up as a great statesman and the moment he stepped into the arena for real he shit himself and went home.

a man with a mustache says " touche " in white letters Alt: Whyte Goodman saying " touche "

But fair point lol
