So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s Son Emerges as Leading Choice to Be His Successor

It appears we may have replaced Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

I just saw an early 20 something’s TikTok that asked if you could drink 100 beers in a month for a million dollars and you know what I’m glad that the youth are built different now. good for them

"The trade was not that you were getting exposed to geopolitics when moving to Dubai."

Before today, no F-15 had been shot down in more than 35 years — since January 19, 1991, during the Persian Gulf War.

Before today, the U.S. had never had more than one aircraft shot down by friendly fire in a single day, let alone three.

Bluesky has as much bad news as X but over here, we're against it

*America kicks a hornet’s nest*

Republicans: Let’s praise Trump for having the guts to kick a hornet’s nest

Sane people: What’s the plan after kicking the nest?

Republicans: Why can’t you just be happy he kicked the nest?

Never forget who you’re fighting for.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

Anthropic: We lost a contract because we refuse to build Skynet.

OpenAI: We'll do it

Sam Altman tweet: Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement. We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only. We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements. We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

My goodness.

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.

This is Trump's former AI adviser

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.

Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.
