I've said it before and I'll say it again: "Ideological purity is for Bolsheviks."

@TheJFreakinC @LunaLuvgood2020 They cannot be gone soon enough.

🚨BREAKING: The Secretary of Homeland Security just admitted, on camera, that he is going to violate your First Amendment right to free speech. He said, “I have ZERO tolerance. If you verbally assault our officers… we will find you, we will arrest you.” Except… that’s not how the First Amendment works. Unless someone is making a credible threat of violence, speech… even rude, angry, or insulting speech… is still protected. That’s the whole point of a free speech clause… to protect the people from situations where those in power don’t like what’s being said. So, when a top federal official starts framing “verbal assault” as something you can be arrested for, without clearly defining it as an actual threat… It stops sounding like protecting officers, and starts sounding like a government trying to silence people who speak out against it.

@OneMargaretx I like Ike.

bad people getting away with everything was my greatest adult disappointment discovery

“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” @AlbertEinstein's life advice in a letter to his son Eduard on 5 February 1930. In the picture, Einstein is riding a bicycle in Santa Barbara, USA in 1933. #WorldBicycleDay

So let me get this straight. Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom. Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land. Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan. Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted. And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?” Please.

Raise your hand if you AGREE ✋🏿✋🏾✋🏽✋🏼✋✋🏻

Yes

Just occurred to me this is the first time in my lifetime I can remember a billionaire funding a valuable public works project. Andrew Carnegie funded like 2000 libraries alone lol

But of course!

@AdamtrendHQ @buffymuffy4444 Yes

Do you agree with this statement? 🤔 YES or NO? Let's see where everyone stands.

Four month ago, Alex Pretti was murdered by Donald Trump’s ICE. RETWEET to honor Pretti’s life of service ❤️

My son is taking part of in a social experiment. He has to wear a MAGA hat and record how people react to him. So far, on the first day, he has been spit on, yelled at, and had water tossed in his face. I am curious to see what will happen when he finally leaves the house!

She isn’t a victim She’s not trapped in a marriage from which there’s no escape She’s a willing participant in the most criminal collaboration between a man and a woman in history.

Would you support a boycott of CBS? YES or NO? ✋

the pope and anthropic's co-founder just stood together at the vatican to release "magnifica humanitas," the first ever catholic teaching on AI yes, you read that right. the full ceremony was 2 hours. here's the most interesting things for you to know: 1. this is the biggest religious response to AI in history. popes only put out a handful of these huge official letters in their entire time as pope. the fact that one of them is about AI tells you how seriously the church is taking what's coming. 2. small detail with massive meaning: this pope picked the name "leo XIV" on purpose. the last pope named leo was leo XIII back in 1891, and his most famous act was writing the church's response to the industrial revolution. picking the same name is a deliberate signal. this pope sees AI as the new industrial revolution. 3. the catholic church does this every time a major technology reshapes humanity. they wrote "rerum novarum" in 1891 to respond to the industrial revolution. when nuclear weapons threatened the world in the 1960s, they wrote "pacem in terris." climate change and runaway tech got "laudato si" in 2015. now AI gets "magnifica humanitas." they don't issue these often. 4. the pope's main line: "AI needs to be disarmed." he literally compared AI to nuclear weapons. he said the church spent decades pushing for nuclear disarmament because the technology was too dangerous to leave in the hands of a few. he says AI is now in that same category. 5. anthropic co-founder christopher olah told the pope, on stage at the vatican, that anthropic's own research team keeps finding things inside their AI models that "mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease." 6. olah's reframe of what AI actually is: these things are grown. they're trained on a structure roughly modeled after the human brain and fed everything humans have ever written. in his own words: "they are made from us, from our words." he said even the people building them don't fully understand what's happening inside. 7. olah publicly admitted that every AI lab, including his own, faces pressure that can conflict with doing the right thing. commercial pressure to keep shipping, competitive pressure from other labs, plus the older pressures of pride and ambition. his solution: we desperately need outside critics with no skin in the game who will tell the labs when they're failing. 8. olah says there are 3 giant questions the AI labs cannot answer alone and the world needs religion and philosophy to step in on: > how do we make sure poor countries actually benefit from AI? > what does human flourishing even look like in this new world? > and what are these things we're actually building? 9. one of the sharpest lines in the whole encyclical: "the promise of automatic general prosperity often proves illusory." translation: the idea that AI will just make everyone rich on its own is a fantasy. someone has to actually design the system so the benefits get shared. 10. the pope also pulled out a 100-year-old quote: "contemporary man has not been trained to use power well." said by a theologian back in the 1920s. the whole encyclical is basically a long argument that we need to learn how to use this kind of power before it uses us. 11. the pope kept stressing that he doesn't have the technical answers. but he says the church has thousands of years of wisdom on what it means to be human, and that wisdom is exactly what's missing from how we're building AI right now. his closing line: this technology should serve "human flourishing and human dignity, not control consciences."
