This is a phrase I’ll hold onto: “Nosotros no estamos solos—somos los primeros. Somos los primeros.”

Engineering Management Simulator (2026 edition)

Pretending that whenever an AI person uses the phrase “permanent underclass” they instead said “bottom”

the first seems easier

I get the impulse to call a future reckoning over all the crimes against humanity "Nuremburg 2" but also am concerned this means we have to host it in Nuremburg Pennsylvania which may lack the requisite infrastructure for such an event

Judge moves, cautiously, toward civil contempt in case over treatment of trans people in prison “Once I issue an order, it’s my intent to enforce it,“ Judge Lamberth told the government. And: Facing the Trump administration's ridiculousness. Until the elevator door closes.

come for “the fun of games is deeply connected to the miracle of emergence,” stay for the unfortunately rare occurrence of someone admitting they were wrong about ai hype (in any direction!!)

How OpenAI caved to the Pentagon on AI surveillance The law doesn’t say what Sam Altman claims it does.

NEW: On Friday night when OpenAI announced its Pentagon deal, people immediately challenged Sam Altman's claims. Why, they asked, would the DoD suddenly agree to red lines when it had clearly said it would never budge?

The answer, sources told me, is that it didn't.

you are So Brave

mols said it smarter

me: "AI" as a public or public-facing technology is primarily oriented toward the performance of plausibility and the post hoc rationalization/justification of a priori assumptions on the part of the user or audience.

cs people: nuh uh!!!

given that they have repeatedly demonstrated that they don’t give a fuck about hitting the wrong targets, all of this is just accountability laundering / war games larping at best

“The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.”

sam altman has never had a moral concern in his LIFE

The angle of "the Iran strikes are bad bc they didn't ask Congress for permission" reminds me of the Norm Macdonald bit about people saying "the hypocrisy" of Bill Cosby's actions was "the worst part." Macdonald:"I disagree. I think all the raping was the worst part."

What's missing? The public. Decisions about whether AI can surveil American citizens or autonomously deploy lethal force are being settled in a contract dispute. No Congress. No democratic deliberation. No accountability. We've outsourced questions about the use of force to a corporate negotiation.

This is about "enrolling" new suppliers, not patients.

I think if you can tell that something is likely to be misread, you should include context to help prevent that.

it's such a huge story and it's being so under-covered
