Thank you for playing, see you all tomorrow.
New study: 220 million years ago, small crocodilians learned to walk on two legs, and gathered in large social groups. Whenever I see a story like this, I wonder if there were complex civilizations that came before our monkey times. Maybe ancient crocs left Earth long ago. nautil.us/this-ancient...
pedocon theory not so much a theory as an immutable law of physics
Fun fact: 54% of US adults read below a 6th grade level.
You have to actively remember literally over half the US adult population is *unable to perceive subtext*

“In a dozen instances, misreads by Flock's automated license plate readers, or a lack of verification by officers, resulted in people who hadn't committed crimes being stopped at gunpoint, sent to jail, or mauled by a police dog, among other outcomes.”

NBC News poll Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.
Truly a perfect news alert

We need a name for this, something like vice-signalling, where people, usually in or around tech or finance, claim to do some quirky bullshit that patently doesn't work just so they can post about it to build their personal brand.
But the one thing it does do well is code *touches earpiece* I’m getting an update …
wow "which is better, Carl Sagan as published or multiple iconic Carl Saganisms in a slightly different order", really makes you think, guess I'll give these guys all my money and then [foghorn] [slinky falling down the stairs]
AI is going to solve screen addiction by flooding the zone with so much slop that actual human beings just abandon ship and go back to IRL.
Maybe this is just a personal preference but I don't think I am going to take writing advice from tools made by people who think the ultimate form of literature is two modems making dial up sounds at each other
Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available
If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job
90s media: THESE AREN’T YOUR GRANDPA’S MUFFINS
2020s media: Your Grandfather had better muffins than you but the immigrants took them, we need concentration camps to restore you to the muffins of old.

We talk a lot about how Our Era has demonstrably proven that big tech execs are not actually smart, contrary to what was once popular belief:

"This probably sounds like nightmare fuel to many, but to wealthy VCs and AI and crypto entrepreneurs it’s the next gold rush." is the quote of our time
republicans and donald trump exist to scrape as much money out of us as possible. they want us poor and powerless
By now there’s enough independent, third-party data analysis of AI’s impact (or apparent lack thereof) on the current job market that there’s no reason not to include some skepticism about the executive claim when you write it up.
The real fun: not only was the pivot to AI a lie, and that the layoff savings were mitigated by increased pay and bonuses to get people to stay, but the problem started due to bad investments in cryptocurrency. And yet the CEO gets rewarded instead of yeeted into the sun.
So are the Claude Coders gonna get stickers for their computers that say "I used this before it bombed a girls school in Iran"
People got rid of or felt ashamed owning a Tesla because of Musk destroying America but they do not care if Claude kills Iranian kids. Fucking unbelievable.
"We thought the US's war of choice in the Middle East would be over quickly, this time."
The people in charge of the money really are some of the stupidest people on the entire planet.
I think this is about the temperature but honestly it works for decades as well
