The ultimate mix of grift, macho bullshit and religious misunderstanding was the apocalypse all along

There are a lot of chuckles in @scalzi.com's "When the Moon Hits Your Eye", but the bit about AI on Day 22 caused me to LOL harder than I have in a good while.

SCOTUS continues to lead on breaking civil and legal rights for everyone. What a disgrace.

It's good that Iran is trying to keep casualties low. But all I can think of is Milo Minderbinder and Catch-22, where Americans bomb their own airfield, because everyone agrees that it should be bombed and it's more efficient if they do it themselves. War is absurd.

Hey @emilymbender.bsky.social @alexhanna.bsky.social it seems like you'll need to add a coda to the latest episode…

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Imagine taking all that time to be elected to simply not do the job. Pathetic.

At the moment, every member of Congress should be racing to file articles of impeachment, but you know it's not going to happen.

amtrak’s marketing team gets it

If we aren't going to eat the rich, we should at least tax them

We sometimes talk about "human in the loop" as a fail safe when using AI. But this falls apart if that human isn't able or willing to judge the systems outputs and correct them.

This is the question I have been trying to get clarity on for the last three years. Over and over again, it seems like the answer is "I don't really validate the answers I'm getting from this LLM; the response seem to be pretty good!"

It's a huge endorsement for Bluesky that JD Vance was blocked for me before I even knew he was here.

What @brianklaas.bsky.social said. open.substack.com/pub/briankla...

Blowing up is not an anomaly for Starship.

At some point (which was probably several tests ago), SpaceX has to acknowledge that Starship is a very poor design. It's more bomb than spacecraft.

The Neverending Grift is coming to a shitty gold phone (hopefully not to) near you. www.theverge.com/gadgets/6874...

Great stuff from @adambecker.bsky.social "I really believe that when you get as rich as some of these guys are, you can just do things that seem like thinking and no one is really going to correct you or tell you things you don’t want to hear." www.technologyreview.com/2025/06/13/1...

So we're just gonna ignore the Posse Comitatus Act, I guess

Google today: "AI will help use colonize the galaxy starting in 2030" Apple today: "It's incredibly unlikely the current crop of AI is going to ever be anything close to human intelligence and also we've added real time transcription to FaceTime calls, that's about what you should expect"

LOL LMAO No chance, my dude. It's not going to happen.

⚠️ US Marines no longer “ready to deploy” but now “ARE BEING DEPLOYED”:

I cannot stop wheezing

Only one way to settle this....

And you know he's going to call it XParty

Now, I don't believe DOGE is lawful or should exist, but I would also find it deeply, hilariously funny if Trump used DOGE against Musk

Man, when you've lost Kennedy…

The year is 2030. Humanity has been nearly wiped out after the rise of super-intelligent underpants. Our last hope: an elite cadre of commando commandos.
