Taking knives to do an armed robbery for a robot body is a bit off from your AI hiring a woman to be her stand-in during sex but that’s a difference of degree not kind.

One of the Olympic pairs skaters used this song for their free skate this year
Anthropic’s whole media play right now is “we want to say we tried to not be evil” which is about a good as a play one can make after Google’s “don’t be evil” curdled into “we are evil but you have no choice”.
“Philosopher” at a tech company is a pretty good cover for “I do PR”. No shame in doing PR, but there is shame in being dishonest about it.

It is genuinely insane to watch capital decide that allowing this shit to go on is better for them than having to allow the FTC to do mild monopoly investigations and require cancellation buttons on websites.

After an economic crash you always see headlines like What Was Everyone Thinking? What do you mean everyone, most of us are waving our arms and screaming every day, it's a handful of insanely rich assholes who aren't listening
"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

It’s truly tragic how many of these US war criminals like Cheney never face justice and die in their peacefully in their homes in their 80s and 90s. I want to be happy he is dead but I am not. The million people he killed didnt get the luxury to die how he did.
At a fundamental level, we have to accept much of silicon valley has gone insane.
I see your “stats” but think about the one time a month I’ll be going 10 over the speed limit in the right lane and have to brake because someone is turning into the complex. There’s already a crosswalk in that area, my car brain can’t handle any more nonsense.

I went for a long walk yesterday and saw a woodpecker.
Violife and Follow Your Heart make some really good nut free options, would highly recommend both companies’ parmesans.
Barack Obama used the AUMF to assassinate a US citizen but no one made a peep because, well, he was the enemy, laws be damned!

This is just the natural next step after the 2001 AUMF and Congress’s continued acquiescence to it for the past quarter century.
Happy PTA Movie’s Wide Release Eve for all who celebrate.
If Kimmel were really cool he’d do a cold open reenactment of Kirk dying but alas it’s network TV.
See:
Every national dem still dreams of slashing social security in some grand bargain with republicans and does not have the brain capacity to see that we are being governed by fascists.

Everyone hates Fallon for being a soulless husk, but all of his competition is getting literally canceled for making benign political commentary. So yeah, who’s laughing now? Just Fallon, no one else finds him funny.
Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth
You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people
