Sub any previous new technology for AI in this warning. "Concerns have been raised that [airplanes, cars, cell phones, CAT scans, polio vaccines] could pose catastrophic or existential risks to humanity." All are subject to some regulation. Not regulate AI? Have we lost our effing minds??

Fun paragraph from the Anthropic prospectus: "pose catastrophic or existential risks to humanity" www.sec.gov/Archives/edg...

Stealing this from the Ukrainians, because my God, it really does matter.

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

What’s going on between Trump and Putin? Why are they calling each other humanitarians? I explain why that’s the the point and the flattening of language and words under authoritarians.

What does he mean pulling the strings, it’s literally politicians whose voters want them to investigate you investigating you

Elon Musk threatens Congress.

Elon Musk is trying to buy this Senate seat in Texas. He wants our land, he wants our water, and he wants his own personal U.S. senator. He’s trying to buy Texas. But on November 3rd, we’ll deliver a clear message to the world’s first trillionaire: Texas is not for sale.

If you don’t vote, I can guarantee that one day in the near future you’ll miss the fact that you can’t anymore.

You know, Elon, if you just paid your taxes, we could give those kids food and healthcare, things far more valuable than stock in a government-welfare-dependent company that is bound to go bankrupt eventually.

JD Vance comparing his administration's economy to the Titanic means Yale definitely owes all of us an apology.

Replying to @prchovanec.bsky.social

As for them being immigrants, France has a lot bigger track record of people rioting and building barricades in the streets than most the countries they come from. So I’d call it assimilation.

No, JD, the Titanic doesn’t turn around. The Titanic hits the iceberg. The Titanic sinks. Just like your career. Just like this corrupt regime. (Metaphors matter!)

Trump *himself* filed a financial disclosure form this year that asserted he made over a billion dollars last year. That's not a claim from the fake news, or the crazy liberals. That is Trump's own filing.

JD Vance: "I've not seen a single shred of evidence that Donald Trump participates or sanctions in that corruption ... I've not once seen evidence that Donald Trump has enriched himself"

Demonizing someone who thinks he is better than everyone else because he is white is *not* the same as demonizing someone who is black because he wants to be treated the same as everyone else. JD Vance is an ignorant apologist for White Supremacy.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

JD Vance makes excuses for white nationalists: "When you demonize a guy because he's white, it's just as evil as when you demonize a guy because he's Black. When you demonize a guy because he's white ... some people will get radicalized into some very dangerous ideas."

This is kind of like threatening Trump with a good time.

Tom Friedman, NYT: "If...Trump ... proceeds with his plan to trade away support for Ukraine’s democracy for Russian diesel, let me spell it out: He will enter the history books in the chapter on leaders who sold out their country’s democratic values to appease a dictator."

Mike Johnson is relying on his faith to hold control of the House. So if he loses control of the House, we can all reasonably conclude that God dislikes Mike Johnson as much as the rest of us.

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

One widely loathed, ketamine-addicted, white-supremacist billionaire can single-handedly keep a failing political party afloat, through the brute force of money. Excellent system we've set up here.
