I have been praying for this kind of pushback from Democrats against Elon Musk for a long time now and I am thrilled that the Talarico camp is leaning into it. Light. Him. Up.

This is what I need denialists to understand: the AI evangelists' wildest fever dreams (sentience, the singularity, whatever-the-fuck) don't need to be real for the tech to be hugely consequential. A machine gun doesn't need to be superintelligent.

I vote we rename the eMudhra intermediate certificate incident to “Amuse Bouche compromise.” Because the keys are one byte.

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

How could I not have thought of this earlier?

Speaking of gratitude, someone who was gifted a senate seat and the vice presidency by sugar daddy should probably show a bit more

I gave this AI assistant my credit card and he keeps me placated in an endless cycle of consumerism

like, this isn’t even an “AI could create that much value” versus “no it can’t” argument - let’s grant the premise, let’s say it does in that world, with these people in charge, unemployment and poverty explode and no safety net is built to handle it

I was wanting to go back to peak button cockpit :(

AI guys love to ask AI to summarize the movie Click, but the models run out of context after act 1

Anyone have good luck fine-tuning the jev-likes such as Clef? Feel like there's some workflows that don't have so many possibilities but do need a little world context small models don't come with. And I want Jev to see so bad.

Chatbots lie too much. Some people argue the King James Version Bible is inerrant and has all the answers. But to access content in the bible, you ought to know the book, chapter, verse, and number of verses. So, I made jev hash it out for us. kjv.kimb.dev github.com/mccartykim/k...

Huh, on discord the trackball 🖲️ emoji looks just like Frieza

12/ We spent months compiling every case we could find of immigration agents detaining Americans. We did it because the government hasn't. And now, we're sharing every one of those cases with you. Explore our database: propub.li/4egbSK2

The horror stat remains true: The average American household is closer in net worth to Jeff Bezos than Jeff Bezos is to Elon Musk.

thinking about how the chinese trans community calls estrogen "debian install media"

We need to rephrase the whole discussion in terms of hazardous products, instead of "minds". And then we need to make sure that there's liability. A model hacks someone? Put a C-suite guy in jail. A model produces sexual harassment material? Put a C-suite guy in jail. Watch how fast things get safe

this is more important than niche internet arguments make it seem: if LLMs don't work, who cares that Palantir is rolling it out for surveillance? Hell, maybe it's even good, if the state's machines start hallucinating the addresses of random Trump supporters when dispatching ICE. But they do work.

Abolish this barbarism

I take exogenous hormones to change my sex. I inject estrogen every five days and take progesterone every day. Both are somewhat inconvenient. I check my levels every three months, and am attuned to dosage curve vs. mood. It is unreasonable for a cis man to think about hormones more than me.

If Third Way got there before you did, you should feel bad.

@jevbot.bsky.social where is guy fierri rolling out to?

Our system of governance derives its legitimacy from the consent of the governed. When public servants use propaganda to manipulate the people they are supposed to serve in order to MANUFACTURE that consent, our SERVANTS soon become our MASTERS. Your tax dollars paid for this ad.

This news is important because all the fucks out there actively attempting to wreck the world want you to think that the work is hopeless and just mitigating the worst case scenario. It's not. Fucking keep going.

@jevbot.bsky.social hey man you ever see buffet infinity? whether or not you have, explain the format and plot as best you can tell. hint: it's a movie

@jevbot.bsky.social Which came first, ranch, or cool ranch?

DoorDash seems to not care that ICE agents are shooting their workers while they on the job. Community members are the ones who have gotten Wilber medical attention in detention and legal support — without a single shred of help from this multibillion dollar corporation profiting off his labor.

New @oxide.computer swag just arrived, and... hot damn

I’m glad someone said it.
