NEW from me on the ground at the Westwood federal building, where hundreds of federalized National Guard troops are currently deployed‼️ Currently there are two National Guard troops armed with assault rifles for each protestor: FOUR troops and TWO protestors. Good use of tax dollars? 🤔

1047 Games CEO posted an apology on Twitter for his "Make FPS Great Again" hat. "I hate seeing division—on both sides. There's division in the community. For that I am truly sorry. I do stand by the intent of this which the intent truly is...we do want to improve this genre." x.com/Splitgate/st...

Reading Karen Hao's Empire of AI, and I really wish more people understood the degree to which AGI boosters are desperately trying to get everyone to believe in a technology that does not now and might not ever exist
