@TNizzle621 @stevehou This is such a dumb argument. Every previous advancement required human operators. AI is the last frontier, and humans will no longer be needed for the vast majority of jobs.

@stevehou "Ask a random person off the street the first thing they’ll tell you about AI is that it’ll take their jobs. I’m not sure we’ve ever had an issue like that." Literally every great tech advancement in the history of ever had people thinking this and they were wrong every time.

Protesting or at least opposing data centers is highly rational for everyone except the most direct equity holders hence beneficiaries of the AI and AI value chain companies. AI has a political constituency problem. Most people know that they are net losers from the trade off of “losing your job/economic value” in exchange for maybe “cure for cancer”, a free robot, UBI and permanent underclass status. They have also been sold pretty convincingly, by the spiritual leaders of the AI industry no less, that this was inevitable no matter what they did. At most they could stall it and prevent it from happening right away. In your typical lobbyist group issues, the benefits are highly concentrated among a few highly motivated and the costs are spread thin across a majority that’s unmotivated and not paying attention. As such the net losers typically have trouble organizing as an effective opposition. AI though has everyone’s attention and has made most if not all acutely aware of the existential stakes. Ask a random person off the street the first thing they’ll tell you about AI is that it’ll take their jobs. I’m not sure we’ve ever had an issue like that. The funny thing about the “AI inevitability” is that it still requires astronomically if not comically high economic cost with significant negative externality to come into being. The average person in a democracy could exercise their political rights to delay the “inevitable” at least in exchange for a stake. It’s perfectly rational, incentive compatible and shockingly they do.

@LPatriotGirl @RepMTG Grok has got to be the worst of all the AI models.

@RepMTG Come on Marjorie!

Rob Reiner and his wife were tragically killed at the hands of their own son, who reportedly had drug addiction and other issues, and their remaining children are left in serious mourning and heartbreak. This is a family tragedy, not about politics or political enemies. Many families deal with a family member with drug addiction and mental health issues. It’s incredibly difficult and should be met with empathy especially when it ends in murder.

@lovingit111 @trouble_man90 Spin it anyway you want. He looks like dogshit.

@trouble_man90 No he’s not

I am at a loss for words. Trump is fast asleep at an 11am televised meeting, drooped face, incoherent speech, slurred words?????? This is 10x worse than what Biden did at that debate, and he was literally run out of town for it. And we were forced to trade him for this????

@BrassicEyeRedux @Riley_Gaines_ Thank god. Charlie Kirk hysteria was an extremely annoying time to live through.

@Riley_Gaines_ nobody cares

Madani tried to ban Charlie Kirk from speaking at an event in Long Island in 2023. New York City, make your voice heard. For Charlie!

@Riley_Gaines_ The fact that you dislike him makes me think he's the right choice. ✅️

@bytemeharder @MarkMeuser The Supreme Court legalized gerrymandering because Republicans wanted to do it in their states. So there's your answer.

@MarkMeuser I don’t understand how it’s legal for Gavin to disenfranchise every California Republican.

If you have not yet voted NO on Proposition 50, watch this video to understand what Prop 50 is all about.

@MarkMeuser I voted Yes after watching this video 😎

@Mankosmash Cool I voted yes 😎

My girlfriend & I voted NO on the Gavin Newsom & the Democrats gerrymander Prop 50. America First 🇺🇸.

@Xtian375 @mattyglesias @JamesGunn Since due process has been eliminated, it's impossible to know whether or not your assertion is true.

@mattyglesias @JamesGunn Of course, where the analogy breaks down is the people being expelled from our country are not innocent, they are in the country illegally.

@daveweigel What's the risk? If the ballot measure wins, he succeeds. If he doesn't, status quo remains. No downside.

Probably the biggest risk a Dem has taken in the Trump II term and it’s looking more like Newsom will pull it off.

@le_kimber77 @RepSwalwell You're very handsome.

The intent of Trump/MAGA is to aim violence at any judge who defies them.

@JohnJHarwood Adam's descent to right-wing conspiracist is something to behold.

no, Kari Lake is lying and it's hard to believe you are gullible enough to believe it but gullible is their target audience, so...

@BrendanCarrFCC You say the FCC's role is to police "news distortions." So basically, a truth ministry. You didn't help your case here with this completely Orwellian argument.

Great to join Concordia Summit 2025 today.

@mattwhitlock He says the FCC's role is to police "news distortions." So basically, a truth ministry. He didn't help his case here with this completely orwellian argument.

Really valuable color from Carr here on everything Kimmel, how broadcast networks work, and some of the more absurd Democrat distortions.

@Nick_at_X @PeterHamby It's never been this bad. Th Trump administration has blatantly said they don't care about the First Amendment.

If we’re being honest, censorship hasn’t been partisan — both left and right voices have been silenced when they challenge power. Labeling it as just a “left vs right” issue misses the bigger truth: speech is threatened when those in charge fear criticism. The fight should be for consistent standards that protect everyone’s voice, not just one side.

Akaash Singh on the Flagrant pod: "In terms of censorship, freedom of speech is more under attack now than it’s ever been … It is funny to watch right wing people just become left wing wing people ... As much as we hated left wing shit, this is different and scarier."

@Taniel They're just straight up saying out loud. And idiots like @drdrew eat it up.

GOP Senator Cynthia Lummis: "Under normal times, in normal circumstances, I tend to think that the First Amendment should always be sort of the ultimate right... I don't feel that way anymore." semafor.com/article/09/18/…

@Acyn Look, @adamcarolla! It's your favorite free speech guy. He's a hack just like you.

Trump: When you have a network and you have evening shows and all they do is hit Trump… They’re licensed. They’re not allowed to do that.

@sharpshootin24 @TheOnion Suddenly, the right wingers have become incredible crybabies.

This Week's Onion Magazine:

@drdrew @MemberBerriesAI Roseanne is either insane or a liar. Maybe both. Obama and his wife had no part in her firing. And here's Drew that just believes every bullshit thing he reads.

Member Berries? @MemberBerriesAI

@JeffDye Holy shit, Jeff Dye? I only recognize your name because Marc Maron had to declare on a podcast he had no idea who you were. I'll go back to not knowing who you are now.

Kimmel is pulled off the air for what half the country felt was him saying “crazy shit”. Kinda feels like when Trump was banned from social media for what half the country felt was him saying “crazy shit”. This is how companies work. Were you outraged when Rosanne was canceled for saying “crazy shit”?
