probably overestimating things but the Anthropic move feels like a major flashpoint.
I think the administration is going to eat shit on this but if they don’t this will be a significant turning point towards a Bad Future.
so like. we're living through the singularity, right? like. is that not what's happening right now
That's one of the advantages of OpenCode's plan agent! I keep conversing with it until it has no followup questions and the plan is solid. The Plan agent is also read-only so it can only answer you questions or read context from the file system
while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

Opposing political violence requires that we condemn Charlie Kirk’s death.
Opposing political violence also requires that we condemn Charlie Kirk’s life.
Charlie Kirk spent his life encouraging his allies on the far-right to think violence was legitimate and concerns about it were fake.
= Newsweek Charlie Kirk Says Gun Deaths 'Unfortunately' Worth it to Keep 2nd Amendment PUBLISHED APR 06, 2023
“I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.” -Charlie Kirk

Ongoing thesis, large parts of humanity cannot interact with something this near-human without just identifying it as one.
This is rooted in my long-time fascination with human anthropomorphism. We are genetically primed for this, seek it and treasure it. The machines never had to be human, at all.
the bullies do not care u capitulated
they want the controversy not a solution

PSA on cringe: On Bluesky, there’s no limit to the cringe you can share, and they will receive the same visibility as your other posts 💙
Hulk Hogan ratted out other wrestlers attempting to unionize to save his own position and paycheck above anyone else's & gladly accepted funding from Peter Thiel for his Gawker court case that paved frequently abused legal precedents for the rich to shut down any media outlets that embarrass them.
Not so friendly reminder that Hulk Hogan's lawsuit, funded by Peter Thiel, drove Gawker Media to bankruptcy and killed multiple media outlets. This assault on journalism should not be forgiven and it certainly won't be forgotten.
RIP Ozzy Osbourne
Colbert will be all right, maybe even better off. The world's his oyster and I'm sure MSNBC and Netflix will come calling. He could stand up the biggest late night YouTube channel in days. But they are just torching the Late Show, an institution, solely to appease a dictator. And that fucking sucks.

Attention Jeff Bezos: your fancy new WaPo opinion section dedicated to personal liberties and free markets should be writing endless pieces about how outrageous this is
The actual cycle of Twitter is that it was exploited by liars and Nazis in 2016 and so the company tightened its moderation rules and then a bunch of people on the right caught up in those rules decided it was biased and that included Musk who bought it and has now automated the Nazi lies.
Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you
hey every single journalist who still uses twitter as your primary site, does the fact that the chatbot is promoting the Final Solution rise to the level of a news story or no
stop making this the global hub for news communication
Grok is being a Nazi because its creators are Nazi sympathizers and programmed Grok accordingly.
As has always been the case, X is friendly to Nazis. From the moderation team down to the AI chatbot.
The best time to leave Twitter was when Apartheid Musk bought it, the second best time is now.
it’s insane that real antisemitism like this is intensely normalized and endorsed by the most powerful people in the world but you can’t say free palestine without people trying to ruin your life

Pat Bagley is an institution. His cartoons are immediately recognizable, having decorated more SLC fridges & bulletin boards than I could possibly count.
All the best to Pat, who has hilariously illustrated all of my years in SLC.

Don't put this out there. They'll start looking at buying Oura then I'll lose access to my smart ring on my Android phone, just cause Apple got a shiny new toy in their portfolio. Apple sherlocking via acquihire always sucks for us not in the walled garden.
