"A man from Chu who sold shields and spears boasted, 'My shield is so strong that nothing can pierce it. My spear is so sharp that there is no object it cannot pierce.' Someone asked him, 'Would you like to be in Forbes?'" - Han Feizi (c. 240 BC)

At a meeting last year, Seth Cohen, a DOGE official with a broad nuclear portfolio, met with DOE officials & told them not to worry too much about accidents. They joked about potentially exposing babies in Utah to radiation.

Made the mistake, on Friday, of thinking that it'd been a blessedly long time since an extended family member died

This really is what it feels like to me now. ChatGPT is a majority participant in long post Twitter, commenting on the story of the day. The profiles are just the faces it wears.
They added long posts to Twitter so ChatGPT could post with its meat puppets without constraints.

I hate cops so much
A San Diego cop fatally shot a Black teen running for his life from an active shooter, without ever giving him a chance to ID himself. https://t.co/6gKQY3TQCf

"You do not have to use a language model to let it organize your attention or distort your thinking." "The real question, the question almost nobody was asking [...] is a bureaucratic question about what happened to the kill chain, and the answer is Palantir." Very good article
“The real question, the question almost nobody was asking, is not about Claude or any language model. It is a bureaucratic question about what happened to the kill chain, and the answer is Palantir.” https://t.co/iQgtSfp96F.

Rodríguez had never set foot in Mexico and had never heard of this city ... The deportees wandered in the dark until they found a park, where Rodríguez spent the first of what would be many nights curled up on the ground, trying to sleep via @katelinthicum

This isn't 'AI cuts,' it's Taylorism for the AI era. What's happening is an AI grades workers on how much much 'meat is being left on the bone' with color coded smiley faces. Maybe it boosts productivity help, but also could make already nightmarish job even more sci fi dystopian

An important feature of this case is the extensive financial maneuvering undertaken by Lau and her wealthy family to shield assets from legal action after she plowed thru a bus stop in her G Wagon at 70mph and running over a family of four Bruce Chan should not be on the bench

Well how about that
They redid the chart, but it still pains me to point out that something *very* specific happened in 1978-79 to facilitate a second major spike in inflation. And it's unlikely to happen again. https://t.co/T9NN9o63Q7

sorry but one of her contestants was "the driver in the accident that paralyzed former congressman Madison Cawthorn"?!?!?!?!?!
The Bachelor franchise, which launched two decades-plus ago with the fantasy of finding true love on TV, has evolved into something very different and very strange.

Maybe if they read some books they'd have been better scammers
One interesting observation I’ve noticed is a lot of top founders did oddly strong at math from a young age.

🚨🚨🚨NEW As leaders of the CIA, FBI, and NSA are grilled by congress this week, I got my hands on an intelligence dossier that lists a terrifying new threat: teenage pissers. Full docs at link in replies.

But b/c of the way that international law is created, each violation is also a proposition which gains purchase when unpunished. What the Israelis/US are doing is not just destroying IL as we know it, but also working to create "legitimacy" for an order of unconstrained violence
It's not even about destroying the post-World War II protections on civilians at this point. They want to exempt themselves — and only themselves — from the most ancient rules of civilized conduct, like not killing diplomats, not killing the wounded, accepting white flags...

There are guys in e.g. Jakarta spending their days staring at n8n flows automating their old TikTok spam pipelines at order-of-magnitude multiples, feeding their families off the death of the Feed. I salute em. This data is shit though
Globally, 67% of people view AI positively, but optimism runs higher in South America, Africa, and Asia than in Europe or the United States.
