For a party that says we’re in the middle of a constitutional crisis, they sure don’t act like it

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

Just because they don't have anything further left...

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #2,798,370!

"all of that has added up to a situation where many people have left-wing political opinions, but at the same time fervently believe that directly wielding institutional or coersive power to pursue leftist goals would be disastrous, even evil." itself.blog/2023/12/06/t...

If you steal $1000, you can be sent to prison. When health insurance companies steal $50,000,000,000, they get tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts, while the people they steal from die or go into debt. But keep blaming immigrants and poor people for rising crime.

I repeat. Princeton University, where Toni Morrison held an esteemed professorship in her life, has arrested & evicted one third of its Black studies majors due to their activism for Palestine. I wanted to repeat because I find it a huge deal.

The Senate voted 72 to 11 to block Sanders's resolution on investigating Israel's human rights abuses. Thank you to these 11: Butler (D-CA) Heinrich (D-NM) Hirono (D-HI) Lujan (D-NM) Markey (D-MA) Merkley (D-OR) Paul (R-KY) Sanders (I-VT) Van Hollen (D-MD) Warren (D-MA) Welch (D-VT)

Less than three months after Israel pretended to be outraged that we would say it attacked a hospital, the IDF is attacking the last fully functional hospital in Gaza. Three month ago, there were 36.
