i know it's just advertisement but it still pisses me off when tech CEOs claim AGI will solve humanity's problems with its vast intelligence. for a lot of problems we already know the solutions, what prevents them being solved is not a lack of intelligence, but that the solutions are unprofitable

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

What is really alarming is that it is very, very clearly affecting the minds of major political figures still over there. Not just right-wingers, but pundits, journalists, large commentary accounts. They have become extraordinarily desensitized to bigotry, trolling and racism as normal politics.

🧵 Several people have raised questions about what I meant by "deservedly so" when referring to the decline of institutional trust. It's a fair question, so I want to explain that, because it sits at the heart of my work on how democracies collapse when their epistemic foundations rot.

They’re going to be shooting people in execution lines on the 405 and the New York Times is going to be like “President Trump Takes a Risky Step. Is America Heading Towards Authoritarianism?” and Susan Collins will be deeply concerned instead of just plain concerned.

I would’ve thought threatening officials with retribution if they carry out their duties was legally dubious at best but then, I assumed attempting to suborn ministers for government contracts would be against the law, and it appears that’s just fine for the right sort of chap.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

"To give a sense of the scale of the inefficiency, analysis we did in the Biden administration gave an example of Walmart’s blockchain usage that was up to 50 million times (not a typo) less efficient, in terms of compute, than a traditional database configuration."

A truly morally repugnant piece that also leaves me wondering what O'Brien actually thinks he was doing for the last 8 years? At the risk of being snide, an incredibly expensive asylum system that concentrates asylum seekers in poorer places, that was a result of your choices!

This stuff is so appallingly pathetic. It speaks to how embarrassingly insular the British press is that they are all backslapping each other for joining in on this dismally small time bullying behaviour.

The core conceit of the Twitter-remainers who insist it bad for the people who left Twitter that they left Twitter is that they'd rather be in a place filled with Nazis and white supremacists than a place filled with lefties and progressives—and believe it's wrong for others to feel the opposite.

It’s not just that it’s clearly intentional, it’s that it’s clearly intentional knowing that he’s being recorded. They know they can do whatever they want with complete impunity.

The people who said we should abolish ICE were right. The people who said we should defund the police, were right. The righteous are always cursed with being too early.
