His presidency started an era of decline, ugliness, and insanity that embedded itself in American culture

oh no she’s gonna bomb iran

If only there was a ballroom at the White House where they could host secure events.

Mythos is not a bad name for a model but it would be better if Anthropic switched to using famous Claudes. Monet, Debussy etc. The final model that achieves AGI would obviously be Van Damme

@Homonotqueer What year?

@optionscjp People that can afford to buy a house at that price are putting more than 20% down

I’m having a hard time grasping why anybody would buy a house in California right now The price we pay for rent is $7000 but our house is worth $2.5 million. If we were to buy that house, our mortgage payment would be like $20k plus we would have to put 20% down With the economy, the way it is why would anybody want to lock themselves into 30 years of $20,000 a month payments? When I could rent the same house for $7000 a month and if shit hits the fan, I can just come move somewhere cheaper

I’m a few eps into Season 3 in my first-time watch of Star Trek: The Next Generation and I miss her already.

@FischerKing64 WHAT

LOL

@NateSilver538 This is incredibly poorly sourced

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.

@shawngorham How long do each of these take

Here are the numbers on 3 flips I have going or sold in Q1 - will you get rich? No. But do this 6-9 times a year, sprinkle in a couple that make $100k and its a $400k - $500k a year income Would it be worth it to you?

To manage growing demand for Claude we're adjusting our 5 hour session limits for free/Pro/Max subs during peak hours. Your weekly limits remain unchanged. During weekdays between 5am–11am PT / 1pm–7pm GMT, you'll move through your 5-hour session limits faster than before.

This meme was originally meant as pejorative satire and ended up describing uncomfortable reality.

@IterIntellectus Desperate

what? moltbook was vibecoded in a weekend, hyped for a week, most of the interactions turned out to be fake, and meta just acquired it? what are they even doing over there

@wholemars I wonder what highway patrol will do with all their free time 🙄

We are about to watch society go from almost no autonomous cars to almost no human driven cars.

What’s clear from the Maduro raid and today’s strikes is that forever wars were a choice.

Being able to kidnap a head of state, and decapitate a regional military power back to back without taking a single american casualty is such a wild spectacle of power i don't think it has any other historic precedent

Words cannot describe my hatred of this video

@PalmerLuckey @collinwood_j At this point Anduril should train it’s own foundation model

This gets to the core of the issue more than any debate about specific terms. Do you believe in democracy? Should our military be regulated by our elected leaders, or corporate executives? Seemingly innocuous terms from the latter like "You cannot target innocent civilians" are actually moral minefields that lever differences of cultural tradition into massive control. Who is a civilian and not? What makes them innocent or not? What does it mean for them to be a "target" vs collateral damage? Existing policy and law has very clear answers for these questions, but unelected corporations managing profits and PR will often have a very different answer. Imagine if a missile company tried to enforce the above policy, that their product cannot be used to target innocent civilians, that they can shut off access if elected leaders decide to break those terms. Sounds, good, right? Not really - in addition to the value judgement problems I list above, you also have to account for questions like: -What level of information, classified and otherwise, does the corporation receive that would allow them to make these determinations? How much leverage would they have to demand more? -What if an elected President merely threatens a dictator with using our weapons in a certain way, ala Madman Theory/MAD? Is the threat seen as empty because the dictator knows the corporate executives will cut off the military? Is the threat enough to trigger the cutoff? How might either of those determinations vary if the current corporate executive happens to like the dictator or dislike the President? -At what level of confidence does the cutoff trigger, both in writing and in reality? The fact that this is a debate over AI does not change the underlying calculus. The same problems apply to definitions and use of ethically fraught but important capabilities like surveillance systems or autonomous weapons. It is easy to say "But they will have cutouts to operate with autonomous systems for defensive use!", but you immediately get into the same issues and more - what is autonomous? What is defensive? What about defending an asset during an offensive action, or parking a carrier group off the coast of a nation that considers us to be offensive? At the end of the day, you have to believe that the American experiment is still ongoing, that people have the right to elect and unelect the authorities making these decisions, that our imperfect constitutional republic is still good enough to run a country without outsourcing the real levers of power to billionaires and corpos and their shadow advisors. I still believe. And that is why "bro just agree the AI won't be involved in autonomous weapons or mass surveillance why can't you agree it is so simple please bro" is an untenable position that the United States cannot possibly accept.
