If you think AI is just parroting text and isn’t worth the water and electricity it uses, I urge you to read this From: @RealJournalism https://mastodon.social/@RealJournalism/114036426172063168

People who don't understand how propaganda and gaslighting work are saying CNN got the better of this exchange with the Trump regime's most vile (actual) employee. Nope. Miller completely flummoxed the interviewer. She helped him spread lies. A journalistic debacle […]

Knowing how the media ecosystems work, this is not my fear but my expectation. People on the left mistakenly think that some semblance of reality will break through to the majority of Americans, and magically they will wake up. There’s no reason to think that will happen. From: @volts.wtf […]

Last I heard Musk and his companies owned billions in Bitcoin, and I imagine he thinks when the US monetary system collapses he’s going to double his wealth. From: @danhon https://dan.mastohon.com/@danhon/113953460511428189

What an absolute hero! While Musk is trying to kill entire government agencies by tweet, Samantha Power walks into The Late Show and explains why USAID is the agency that keeps the world safe and free from disease. Everything Elon is trying to hide because […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Today’s Stratechery is bonkers. Ben wrote a post about Apple in China, and then had OpenAI’s Deep Research do the same. The OpenAI version could probably use an editor, but it's better than most of the research work consultants do — I'd say the quality of work wasn’t far from Ben’s own writing. […]

Even I am getting tired of saying this, but: phrases like “Falls for it” assume facts not in evidence. Do we think journalists and publishers at the top of their game are stupid? They want to educate Americans but they’re just all really, really stupid? Try this instead: the right-wing […]

I’m seeing everyone on the left posting and reposting Things To Do. They’re saying we need to come up with the best slogan, or block the doors with our bodies, or call our Senators and say the right words, or organize a new political party on Facebook. This is a variant of the Fallacy of […]

“The longer media outlets treat this as just another political story, the more normal it becomes.” Yes. Of course. That is why they are treating it that way. They want the coup. Did you think their job was to defend democracy? Why? Because they told you so?? From: @wdlindsy […]

Everything that Musk and Trump are doing is bog-standard conservatism. For 40 years, to anyone who would listen, they’ve been saying they wanted to do all of this and a lot more. The thing that’s new about Trump is he showed everyone on the right if you want to do something you can just do it.

What was the essay a couple months ago detailing the unusable garbage of the modern $400 Windows laptop? The one that included the line that, okay, sure, a Mac laptop has exactly none of that horrible dreadful laundry list of problems, but it costs $800 and […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

It's not a good look that Trump sent the Aviation Security Advisory Committee home eight days before the fatal air crash, but that's unlikely to be a related cause 1/3

Anyone else using a TP-Link wifi router (mine's a Deco M5) that has decided Mullvad is a malware site so dangerous that it must be blocked? Not sure when this would have started, I just noticed this morning

UNH has actually lost about $71 billion in market cap since the assassination. But, that’s only enough to fund Canadian healthcare for about 16 weeks. Or if US healthcare were as cost-effective as Canadian, it would fund US healthcare for 13 days. Interesting meme, but healthcare is expensive […]
