Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

it really does seem like the primary threat of AI ended up not being AI itself but the effect of believing in AI as an ideological concept

Wow. #HandsOff rally in St. Paul, Minnesota is massive!

Decent showing for Redwood City.

Here is the top comment on this article: “You are advising responsible honest people who have worked hard, saved all their lives… to scale down their retirement dreams because a one person has decided to destroy the US economy. Why not write an article about how to get rid of the real problem?”

🤔

Been sent this a few times and I've got to say it is the dumbest shit I've ever read. Empty headed fan fiction written with conviction that should force the writers into concussion protocol ai-2027.com

What I always remember to keep in the fore of my thinking is that the people who have actual authority, make meaningful and implemented decisions and plans are the ones who - statistically - will weather things quite well, at worst and usually make out like bandits.

On the day a deranged, ignorant old man singlehandedly drained 2.5 trillion in value from US stocks, the NYSE opening bell was rung by the Newsmax CEO and his pal Rudy Giuliani, while the closing bell was rung by Trump’s pick to run the Social Security Administration.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

If the question is "how is this allowed?" or "how is this legal?" the answer will always be found by remembering laws aren't self executing and someone has to enforce them. Laws aren't magic, and laws by themselves prevent nothing. If a law is not enforced, it's just words on paper.

The assholes who refused to wear a mask to protect their own grandparents are demanding we endure a depression to protect Donald Trump's ego.

kind of wild that in small but meaningful way Ron Howard is responsible for this

Well, JPMorgan’s chief economist Bruce Kasman certainly sounds cheery.

it worries me when the narrative about trump is that “it’s dumbasses that don’t know what they’re doing”. they know exactly what they’re doing. peter thiel is a close ally of trump and owns JD vance. peter thiel is a believer in curtis yarvin thought, which is 100% in line with what’s happening

Really looking forward to Jeff Bezos' forceful public condemnation of Trump's tariffs since he is so committed to "free markets" that he made a rule that every opinion piece published in the Washington Post must support "free markets" For some reason, Bezos hasn't said anything yet. Must be busy.

Thinking about these guys

Wonder when the AI folk and their stans will figure out what the crash of the economy means for their prospects

Sometimes I am struck quite forcefully by how Trump’s greatest weapon is us: our collective ignorance, indifference, laziness, quickness to anger, willingness to cede reason to a strongman, willingness to believe the worst of the Other. We are his terrible swift sword.

How much for groceries?

face it, if you had the ability to completely vaporize $2 trillion dollars out of existence in under 20 minutes, you’d be tempted to see what happens too

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

pretty crazy they straight up told the country that they would crash the economy and no one really brought it up or cared

so as i understand it the president has driven an improvised fertilizer bomb directly into the foundation of global trade?

To keep myself compartmentalized from the literal batshit reality we all unfortunately inhabit, I've been working on updating my PrimeMover event driven system transform; The current method is a Trad ASM based transform which I think is quite clever (naturally). github.com/Hellblazer/P...
