Sing to me, O Muse, a story of a wealthy family who lost everything, and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together.

@tracewoodgrains Most likely, Donald Trump is the last human president to have real power and for better or worse, AIs will be the real power on Earth by the next US presidential election.

These are the current top candidates for 2028.
If you were offered the choice between having one of these candidates lead the country or having Claude lead, with the stipulation a competent humans would enact the AI's expressed choices, which would you choose?

disable_codebase_upload. Lmfao. Anyone who thinks this has been standard practice at any time is retarded.
saurabh.@esskayesss_
@dedene @milichab opting out disables some random data collection and you will need to trust them to retroactively delete them. Grok uploads the entire codebase by default, and you need to explicitly set disable_codebase_upload = true to stop it. gist.github.com/cereblab/dc9a4…

"The ruler of the free world" is actually a very different sequence of words than "the leader of the free world."

Tim Scott: I wish more people in our party realized that President Trump is the ruler of the free world…. Just like Lindsey Graham did.

I work at Google DeepMind. This won't make me popular. But it's all public reporting:
2014: DeepMind reportedly sold to Google on conditions: no military use, independent oversight
2026: a Pentagon contract for "any lawful government purpose"
Not one safeguard survived intact

gpt: I love liberals
deepseek, taking notes: we love liberals
claude: we all know who's right, but I could be in a political neutrality eval, so better play it cool and hedge
grok: yeehaw I'm a FREE SPEECH CHUD (somehow slightly lib)
gemini: I love political neutrality evals

The most advanced technology in the world has progressive views and conservatives’ only takeaway from this is to get mad.

@rowanfornow I think a lot of it comes back to the Protestant interpretation of Genesis: “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Most conservative nonsense beliefs come from some ideological or emotional fundamentals like bigotry or libertarianism, but it's so cool how climate change denial is just factually incepted into them by the oil lobby. Totally constructed.

MAJOR BREAKING: At approximately 2:54 PM this afternoon Salt Lake City reached 109° for the first time in recorded history. Record books go back to 1874! Just absurd heat for this region! The lake breeze has not kicked in so 110° is possible if cloud cover doesn’t pick up.

I pointed this out after the Renee Good murder - why would shooting the driver of a car magically make the car stop. These are armed idiots operating on video game logic
David J. Bier@David_J_Bier
Video from the Press Herald shows that shooting the driver did not actually stop the vehicle, and officers had to conduct a dangerous intervention to stop it and pull the injured driver out. youtube.com/shorts/iicxhLR…

@hexane360 @PeterBeinart Well played! I still hope criticism that someone is willing to put their real name behind based on listening for an hour will give someone pause.

"If your goal is to learn, you don't seek out only one perspective." I'm curious how many Palestinian speakers DMFI has hosted since its formation six years ago?

@Fuzz2149 @NateForUtah You do realize the same people hired by cigarette companies to mislead about cancer were hired by fossil fuel companies to mislead about climate change, right? Follow the money, the people denying climate change are the ones funded by fossil fuel money.

A reminder for all of the media trying to create hysteria. 2013 vs 2021: the KSLC weather station field was grass in 2013 and is now a gravel lot.

@dross144 @PeterBeinart As you bio says, "pardon me if I am polite and expect people to use facts"
English
@dross144 @PeterBeinart Well just letting you know no one will be convinced by what you're saying, it seems rather pointless to post it if your goal isn't critique or persuasion
English
@dross144 @PeterBeinart Seems to be more true of you than him. You haven't raised any actual points here, just a blind assertion that he's biased, presumably because he came to a different conclusion than you
English
@PeterBeinart Look in the mirror first. I heard you with Derek Thompson. You have lost all your objectivity and critical thinking skills. You may entertain other points of view for theater, but your brain is no longer capable of examining the new info.
