Free newsletter: Why're we still doing this? Despite $1tr+ in investment, every AI company is unprofitable, LLMs have yet to provide tangible productivity benefits, and private credit-backed data center debt may be the next great financial crisis.

Hey did Bluesky ever implement their plans to make all of us more civil by means of computer science? Like if I say @aaron.bsky.team is a fuckin dweeb, will the computers fix that now?
in retrospect its super funny the Bsky brain trust dreamed of a crypto bro wonderland without realizing their invitation only beta (which only the most tuned in, extremely online people could access) guaranteed a seed population of freaky communist shitposters
bsky actually might be a vanguard for whatever the next phase of social media is, not in the decentralization sense but in the "we actually never intended for users to use the website and got mad when they did" sense
Email from an account full of white nationalist dogwhistles, “WFP1488,” reads: “Stupid (n-word) loving bitch. You are betraying your own people and country for 3rd world invaders who have their own countries. You will be dealt with just like the rest of them. We are EVERYWHERE.”
😬
Yeah you guys are coming across great here!
Well, at least he’s leaving a trail for law enforcement, if one of his obsessive disciples does what I’m sure he’s trying to threaten me with in this post.
I recommend these guys stop spiralling and threatening me for reporting on things you say and do.
It makes them look desperate.
Anyway, extremely grateful for the individual journalists who have reached out, the Tyee which has been immensely supportive, and all of you guys ❤️
I’m just a bit sad the broader institutions meant to defend press freedom in this country rarely seem to care about far-right attacks on journalism.
I will also say that it’s a bit wild to me that no press freedom organization or professional journalistic association has tried to contact me or even put out a statement here.
I mean Jesus Christ. A little solidarity from institutions would be nice here!
Or even a single article lol. Whatever man. Guess the right-wing campaign to make me seen as an imperfect victim by the broader industry is bearing more fruit than I realized.
That’s a tough pill to swallow.
Okay, actually doing this now.
Because with the sun setting on the second full day after the nazis came after me in person, I’m realizing no mainstream media cares to cover it and no press freedom cares to condemn it.
I don’t want to spend too much time with that realization and its implications!
Excerpt of Western Standard article reads: Alexander Vriend, vice-president of Second Sons, says the timing of the articles and the limited public release of the government brief raise questions about how the story was developed and who had access to the information. "I think the intention behind it was specifically only to give it to certain actors so that they could create the narrative that they wanted," Vriend told the Western Standard, noting the CBC article said the outlet obtained the brief but did not specify how.
Excerpt of Western Standard article reads: When the Western Standard reached out to Gilmore for comment on whether she had been coordinating with CAHN or Public Safety via email Gilmore said, "Why are you, as supposed journalists, reporting on Second Sons Canada's baseless conspiracy theories?" "That's the only source for this. Quite the "journalistic" choice!" Gilmore said. The Western Standard has reached out to Public Safety Canada several times for a copy of the brief and has yet to receive an answer as of the time of publication.
Oh, and CAJ *did* put out a statement defending the Western Standard.
Yes, the western standard that just tried to discredit my recent story with a piece that primarily relies on an interview with a white nationalist who has talked about rounding up people from India at gunpoint to deport them.
The idea that imperfect victims aren’t worth defending is much bigger than me, and is something I had to speak out about.
What kind of world does it create when only some of us are deemed worthy of institutional support and safety?
Two white nationalists I exposed in a recent article showed up to try to intimidate me in person last night.
This is a press freedom issue.
Here’s what happened:
I’m always watching different CEOs eat various stuff. You guys are neophytes
what is bluesky and what can we do to make it go away?
Mark Carney voice: "Imagine a future where instead of being at the mercy of just the Ellisons and the Waltons, we're at the mercy of Rogerses and the Westons as well!"
Microsoft, Google, Meta and Amazon paying influencers $400k-$600k to post months of AI hype content. Absolutely busted, failed industry, embarrassing era

I want to be careful about posting spoilers -- people will just have to solve my little puzzle and play the game to find out!
There's some guy named Mario and also he is Super!
Better to watch all movies this way. Saves time for posting.
The early 2020's involved chuds constantly saying shit like, "I am outraged they made the green M&M less horny!"
Now they're saying, "I demand an investigation by Congress, the FCC, and the DOJ, followed by criminal charges against all those responsible for making the green M&M less horny!"
Definitely terrifying to see that elites have concluded they don't necessarily need to control the flow of news if they can simply destroy the flow of news altogether.
The fake moon plans are a disappointment. If Elon's going to make shit up to boost share prices, I'd rather he go all out and say something like, "In ten years, SpaceX will be the first to build epic gamer castles on Jupiter!"
It's called the marketplace of bowls.
After a lengthy appeals process and productive discussion with the Blue Sky safety team I will no loinger be sending George Thorogood lyrics to beautiful women on here via DM. Thank you all

Funny Charlie Kirk thought that just occurred to me is that he'd probably still be alive if he didn't insist upon only ever debating undergrads.
As always, shut up Wesley.
