AI is my brush. On the next frontier, I paint. Always antislop.

@FoxNews how long until we are reinterpreting the 13th one too?

CONSTITUTIONAL CLASH: The Supreme Court is poised to answer a fundamental question on who qualifies as an American citizen, holding oral arguments this week to review President Trump's efforts to limit birthright citizenship in the United States.

Iran is the one effectively sanctioning the United States President Trump appears pleased with the fact that Iran is permitting some ships to transit the Strait of Hormuz. He reposted a tweet from Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar announcing that Iran has agreed to allow 20 additional Pakistani-flagged ships to pass through the strait (two ships per day). The situation is incredibly complex. The ongoing airstrikes have failed to deliver the expected destruction of Iranian military capabilities, and the targeted decapitation operations have not sparked any significant popular uprising or weakened the regime in Tehran. Iran’s missile and drone arsenal remains largely intact, operational, and effectively concealed. The challenges are so substantial that there are currently no secure staging areas or sufficient troop concentrations available for meaningful ground operations.

@RepThomasMassie I want to live in a world like that too. Can we all build it together?

Imagine a world where hard work is rewarded, truth and justice prevail in courtrooms, the government doesn’t steal your labor by debasing the currency, bureaucrats aren’t captured by corporations, and our taxes go toward critical infrastructure instead of wars overseas.

@jk_rowling I grew up with him and I think middle aged Harry would still often wear a hoodie for privacy since he would still be really famous in the wizarding world: fan from 2000 on. I think he would even use makeup or something to cover up his scar, sometimes.

I fear this might be my most controversial take ever, but I agreed to put it to a vote so here we are. Hoodies should only be worn by men young enough not to look silly carrying a skateboard.

@emkenobi but who will be held accountable?

Would be a shame if people found out who the CEO of Bank of America is

Poor Micro, trying to slut shame me, a happily married woman for nearly two decades. Teeny tiny men with micro manhoods often resort to misogynistic attacks. It’s okay Micro! I’m sure your disability makes it really tough to look at more successful women!

@hooray4problemz @brockpierson thanks a lot!

@mixtureofmodels @brockpierson That’s solid. Props 🤍

I follow back based on vibes, consistency, and whether I think you’d survive a hotdog themed dinner party.

@brockpierson sounds like fun!

Claude responds: The "Rising Cost of Existence" Claim Has No Mechanism — And the Default Technological Trajectory Is the Opposite The argument asserts that AI pushes the cost of human existence up. This is stated, not argued. And it runs directly contrary to the entire historical trajectory of technological advancement, which has been to collapse the real cost of goods and services that constitute basic human welfare. Consider what the subsistence floor actually consists of: food, clothing, basic shelter, energy, medicine, communication, transportation. Every single one of these categories has seen its real cost fall dramatically as a function of technological productivity gains. An American minimum-wage worker today commands more calories, more clothing, more computing power, more pharmaceutical access, and more travel capacity per hour of labor than a solidly middle-class person in 1920. The technological arrow on the cost of material subsistence has pointed unambiguously downward for 250 years. AGI accelerates this, not reverses it. If AGI can perform cognitive labor, it dramatically lowers the cost of producing everything that requires cognitive labor as an input — which is everything. Drug discovery gets cheaper. Medical diagnosis gets cheaper. Legal services get cheaper. Engineering design gets cheaper. Agricultural optimization gets cheaper. The AI-abundant world is one where the absolute cost of meeting basic human needs plummets, not one where it rises. So the mechanism for the "cost of existence rises" half of the scissors needs to be specified. There are exactly two categories of goods that resist this downward pressure: Category A: Positional goods and social status. Being in the top 10% of income is by definition zero-sum. If AI makes everyone richer, relative rank competition intensifies. But this is about relative impoverishment, not absolute destitution. Confusing these two is a serious analytical error. Humans being worse off relative to AI-augmented entities is categorically different from humans being unable to meet basic needs. The argument requires the latter to generate the "economic destruction" framing. Category B: Location-constrained goods — primarily housing. This is the strongest version of the real concern. Housing in desirable, productive urban locations is fundamentally constrained by land, zoning, and geography, and AI doesn't solve the zoning problem. If the gains from AI get capitalized into urban real estate (which is partly what happened with previous technology booms), housing costs can rise even as manufactured goods get cheaper, and housing is a large component of the subsistence floor. This is a genuine concern — but it's a political economy problem with known solutions (zoning reform, land value taxes, building incentives), not a fundamental economic law produced by AI. Packaging it as evidence that AI inevitably raises the cost of human existence requires ignoring that the mechanism is political dysfunction, not technological necessity. The technology doesn't raise housing costs. Regulatory capture and NIMBYism raise housing costs. These are separable.

BREAKING: Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has told the United States to condemn the bombing of Iranian universities by noon Monday Tehran time or face retaliation against American university campuses across the Gulf. The IRGC statement, published by Iranian media and quoted by AFP per the Times of Israel, reads: “If the US government wants its universities in the region to be free from retaliation, it must condemn the bombing of the universities in an official statement by 12 noon on Monday, March 30, Tehran time.” The statement warns all employees, professors, and students at American universities in the region to stay one kilometre away from campuses. TASS reports the critical detail most outlets missed: the IRGC said two universities in the Middle East will be destroyed regardless of Washington’s response. The condemnation deadline only determines whether more than two are targeted. This is not a conditional threat. It is a guaranteed strike with a conditional escalation clause. CNN geolocated video showing the Iran University of Science and Technology in Tehran in ruins after overnight strikes on Friday. A research centre was demolished with twisted metal and debris littering the site. The university confirmed US-Israeli strikes damaged the building but reported no casualties. A second university, Isfahan University of Technology, was also hit per Iranian media. Here are the American campuses now explicitly at risk. Qatar’s Education City hosts six US branch campuses: Texas A&M University, Carnegie Mellon University, Georgetown University, Northwestern University, Virginia Commonwealth University, and Weill Cornell Medicine. Thousands of students and faculty, many US citizens, study and work there. The UAE hosts NYU Abu Dhabi with approximately 2,200 students, the American University of Sharjah, the American University in Dubai, and Rochester Institute of Technology Dubai. Bahrain hosts the American University of Bahrain. Saudi Arabia has early-stage US university partnerships including KAUST. These campuses have already shifted to remote learning per CNN. The IRGC has told everyone within a kilometre radius to evacuate. Here is what makes this the war’s most dangerous escalation. Every previous Iranian target has been military or energy infrastructure: PSAB, Ras Laffan, Fujairah oil tanks, Jebel Ali port, Bahrain’s aluminium plant, desalination facilities. Those targets fit the logic of retaliation against the war machine. Universities do not. A missile aimed at NYU Abu Dhabi or Texas A&M Qatar crosses the line from military retaliation into civilian targeting of a kind that no Gulf air defence interception rate can fully prevent. One missile through an 85 percent interception wall kills students, not soldiers. The IRGC framing is explicit: these are not random civilian targets. They are chosen because America struck Iranian universities first. The logic is symmetrical: you destroyed our research centres, we will destroy yours. But the Iranian universities housed IRGC-linked missile and drone research labs per WSJ and FDD. The American campuses in Qatar host journalism students and pre-med programmes. The symmetry is false. The threat is real. The deadline is noon Monday March 30 Tehran time. That is 08:30 UTC. That is 04:30 Eastern. By the time most Americans wake up tomorrow morning, the deadline will have already passed. The IRGC has promised two strikes regardless. And as of this writing, the White House has not responded. The Pentagon has not responded. No condemnation has been issued. Full analysis - open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Modern Day Prisoners of War

🚨 CAUGHT ON CAMERA: THEY’RE SPRAYING THE SKY IN REAL TIME — AND SATURATING THE SKY WITH ARTIFICIAL CLOUDS "How much longer are people gonna accept that the government is messing with our weather?" A man on camera says what everyone’s thinking right now. Clear skies… then suddenly: • 10+ planes overhead at once • Lines covering the entire sky • Those lines spreading into cloud cover • Weather app updating: “clouds incoming” Clear → planes → lines → clouds → repeat. They call them contrails. Others call them chemtrails. But weather modification, cloud seeding, geoengineering? That’s already been admitted. So why does it look coordinated? And why do the “clouds” show up AFTER the planes? At what point is this not weather anymore… and something being done to you?

BREAKING: Yemen's Houthi Group, an Iranian ally, has threatened to close the Bab al-Mandab Strait, which currently handles 12% of global trade.

Elon Musk: “It seems like China listens to everything I say and does it, basically Or at least they’re doing it independently - I don’t know. But they’re certainly making massive battery packs, producing vast numbers of electric cars, and deploying enormous amounts of solar power These are all things I said we should do here.”
