I'm just, like, the tiredest I've ever been in my life

If you don't believe that this party is disastrously unequipped to handle the dire straits of this moment, I think you at least need to entertain the question, "What would change my mind?"

Look it's important to know that if Mamdani wins they'll say New York is a violent, lawless hellscape run by socialists, whereas if he loses they'll say New York is a violent, lawless hellscape run by socialists.

I was in a job once where an executive floated purchasing that surveillance software that watches what people do throughout the day. In retrospect I wish I asked if that means they would increase the pay for folks found to be working more than 40 hours.

I do not think “big tech” is bending a knee to anyone. They’re doing this because they want to do it and believe it’s right. They just have the social permission they always wanted.

It’s so bizarre to me that this is a permissible response from an elected official, even if it’s obviously farce. How is “I haven’t heard anything about a major governmental decision” any better than “Oh yeah I’m actually all for that”?

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts? MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

I have to be honest and also confess I cannot for the life of me figure out why they keep making appearances. Like, thank god, because we get clips like this. But why not just hole up? How do they benefit from this?

That classic lesson from The Terminator: Be the first to build the terminator

“If there's gonna be a terminator, let him be American.” Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice explains why she says the U.S. needs to “run hard and run fast” and win the tech race with China. 🎧 Listen to the latest episode of Bold Names: on.wsj.com/3WmWYs8

I admire Coates so much because I know I’m not as intelligent as he is. I don’t mean this as self-flagellation. He’s just brilliant. I often wonder if Klein can sense the same and needs the kind of message a lot of people want to hear because a large audience helps you avoid that truth.

Perry Bacon@perrybaconjr.bsky.social

This was revealing. Worth reading. The basic demand is that Coates spend less time thinking/writing his true feelings and more time playing political strategist. Klein asks him over and over him to do Dem strategy; he says no, over and over. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/o...

Looking forward to him capitulating because the CEOs promise to donate fifty cents to his presidential campaign for every dollar they give republicans

This has been pushed to the background, but pay attention: Right now, a stack of bills aimed at reining in AI companies and big tech sits on Gavin Newsom's desk in California. These are the bills Silicon Valley and the GOP tried to ban outright. Now they await Newsom's signature—or veto.

A practical reason the vision for AI adoption seems unserious is the collective overestimation of our processes. You can tell an agent “Put X information into Y format and update Z tracker” but only if the information is documented, the format is consistent, and the tracker is up to date.

The people who build the processes want to believe in what they built, so they explain it to leaders as if everyone actually follows the process. Leaders are far removed from the processes, so they only really see how it’s supposed to work, now how it actually works.

For our own individual processes (insofar as they exist), we follow them with discipline because they’re tailored to our preferences. More often than not, the moment a team is involved, someone if not *everyone* is playing improvisational jazz with the process.

This feels a little like “pivot to video” in that I used to search something and get an article I could instantly control+f through for the information I want and now I need to wait as a disembodied voice stalls before it may or may not vaguely answer my question

I’d be very curious to know: How do these people define “immigrant”? What is an “immigrant” to them? Is it someone who moves to another country? How is that different than what we might call an “expat”? Is it about doing it “legally”? So we should make that process easier, right?

This post is unavailable.

FWIW, I’ve worked with some colleagues who proudly and consistently post on LinkedIn about how they’re AI-powered and I noticed absolutely 0 change in their output. Did they produce things faster? Did they make better things? Nope. That’s the kind of thing you’d notice working closely with someone.

This isn’t even a bias thing! A colleague doing great work makes other colleague’s lives easier. I’d be *thrilled* if it led to better or faster work. The only thing that changed is their work got louder.

This weekend I had this thought: I really don’t care about bipartisanship. “Bipartisanship” is like a restaurant telling me how they’re going to prepare my meal. Don’t care! Just bring out what I ordered please!

Schumer on government funding: "Our position remains this: We want to keep the government open by engaging in bipartisan negotiation where we can address some of the grave harms Donald Trump has caused to our health care system and help Americans with the cost of living."

Hakeem, buddy, people may know who you are, but not for any reasons to be proud of

Following Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s criticism of Democratic leadership for refusing to endorse Zohran Mamdani, Hakeem Jeffries’ spokesman mocks: “Chris Van Who?”

Honest, serious question: What would Microsoft’s incentive be to reduce its revenue share? Microsoft—the company that now regularly lays people off and hikes its prices to increase its value—would give back the rights to IP it owns and profits it’s entitled to in order to…what?

Ed Zitron@edzitron.com

This does not mean for even a second that Microsoft has agreed to reduce its revenue share, just that OpenAI "thinks they will." This is all timed to get investors to complete the $10.3bn employee share sale, to make it seem like the deal is done when absolutely nothing has changed.

I think an underrated booster of both AI use and positive AI rhetoric is the fact that a significant population of folks who were always competent and even very good professionals became headlining conference panelists overnight simply for even entertaining using it as a tool

I both believe as a political movement we need to better live our values of reform-over-punishment (see adrienne maree brown’s We Will Not Cancel Us!) and that repeating stuff like this and “middle America has been left behind” just makes these people expect to get their way with everything forever

Pete Buttigieg says leftist “scolding” has alienated young men - buff.ly/8TpJIDZ

And look: “We need to be more understanding of young men and rural America” will never beat the political message, “You are the center of the universe and the other side wants to destroy you, so vote for me and we will destroy them instead”

My favorite legacy from a past job is the crusade I went on against rescheduling recurring meetings that landed on holidays to the next day back, which just turns a 4-day workweek into a “get 5 days of work done in 4” workweek.

Pavel@spavel.bsky.social

Taking a day off = you have to do 25% more work every day for the rest of the week to catch up.

The fact that the people spending the most money on making this happen can only speak in abstractions and apocalyptic predictions while rolling out the most obviously built-to-fail applications says to me this has always been a feature masquerading as a product.

A few random headlines from the last 24 hours are a reminder that the system of “law enforcement” only attempts to enforce *some* laws against *some* people. Being “tough on crime” always means ignoring crimes of the powerful while ruthlessly crushing vulnerable people and political targets.

I do not want to hear from one single politician what I should do to protect democracy unless it comes after an exhaustive list of what they are currently doing and what else they plan to do

I don't want to get all conspiracy theorist but I just accidentally discovered that someone used ChatGPT to write copy for an event invitation (okay, fine) but the registration link included a UTM source "from chatgpt" and now I'm wondering if "We're getting more traffic from ChatGPT" is bogus

Are people tacking that onto UTMs? Does ChatGPT automatically tack it on when you give it a link? Not sure. But if I clicked that link it would tell someone I got the link from ChatGPT when I absolutely did not.

Hell of a society we’ve developed for ourselves

Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman suggests Eric Adams drop out of the New York mayoral race, but first "place a large bet on Andrew Cuomo and then announce your withdrawal from the race" to "fund [his] future".

Man I’d be such a good AI CFO. Just handing out zillion dollar packages to my friends and telling investors I’m gonna need the GDP of South America. When can I promise profits? I can’t. But here’s how hypothetically I could if things that don’t yet exist and aren’t yet true eventually emerge.

Ed Zitron@edzitron.com

Hahhahaha perfect timing. "Hey everyone you're getting cold feet about ai capex, great news, we need more money than anyone has ever asked for. Also we aren't going to make as much from selling access to our actual models, just our error ridden search engine that drives people insane."

It’s so cool that Eric Adams is not only not staring down jail time, but instead deciding which cushy no-show job he wants to accept as a reward for ending his run for mayor (the job he CURRENTLY has). Love that. Thanks to all.
