I've been appreciating Legal Eagle and Democracy Docket, hopefully they'll do a segment on this.

If you haven't already, look what Pete Hegseth (whose mother disowned him) had to say to the top US commanders about sparking armageddon. This is ultimate bullshit. Cosplaying assholes with captain hook style hangups.

Let's not forget that the string pullers are also unhinged

Truly exciting

Polymarket heads think they're so smart as they simultaneously reveal a total lack of awareness about feedback loops.

Even when there's a polymarket bet on their heads?

If specifications become IP? Reboot the pirate parties. Authoritarianism is what it is. The exploitation isn't coming from the tools, it's coming from the economic structures and forces of exploitation being brought to their natural limits. We should learn from the luddites, the actual luddites. They weren't anti-technology, they were against the insane consolidation of power. This proposal might seem radical but all it would really do is reify intellectual property at exactly the wrong moment, a game over moment. Feed local LLMs. Feed peoples' movements around these technologies, so that people bring agency into how we use the tech, so that we don't get dominated by the laws that form around it.

Is it just me or is the US unraveling?

You do realize that the Biden administration inherited historically low interest rates no?

Remind me again which administration's Fed chair cut interest rates to near 0%, during which administration? And which administration has been pressuring the same exact chairman to cut rates now?

Why should anyone who isn't a citizen feel safe travelling to the US right now when this is how the federal administration brazenly treats people who are citizens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSbRBCyG72g

It really isn't like that though. On top of the rogue paramilitaries with arrest quotas for getting their menial bonuses, there are multiple cases now where _tourists_ have been detained for weeks or more, even those with valid visas, arbitrarily. Multiple governments are cautioning people around travel to the US, and people from many countries are being outright banned from entering. Look at this map: https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IN12631. Travel is already stressful enough without a rogue xenophobic force at the helm.

Your head's in the sand. Where I live we have bounty hunters kidnapping people into unmarked vans. For six months or more now. Would visitors likely be safe? Sure, but not necessarily and I can't blame people for being cautious and there's so much unpredictability around it, even for those of us who are familiar.

At this point it seems absolutely intentional. Where I live they're trying to block multiple billions of dollars of already allocated money used to fund county hospitals. Accelerationists in office explicitly declaring intent to bring about Armageddon via official channels? Why would they care about keeping people employed when they don't seem to think there's room for everyone to even live?

I can't help but wonder how much is being spent.

That's just not true. It's like saying compiled code couldn't be innovative, that the only innovative code is assembly. People used to say stuff like that too, in their fear of being replaced. There's nothing new under the sun, I guess [double entendre].

I find it hilarious that we needed a [fiction] indicator, friends.

Racism sucks and I'm bothered by it tremendously. For example the dog whistles in bored ape yacht club were obnoxious to say the least. But I don't think this is that. This is a silly satire on the ways people are getting tripped up on a fallacy, taking the concept of "ai" as being an autonomous force separable from people way too seriously. It's not of course. It's another iteration of the same old tools.

Who's still here in 2026

too late bro

Oh wow cool even more unhinged than I realized

Okay so neither then does Israel yet here we are a country with illicit nuclear weapons that murdered scores of thousands of civilians has what standing to do what now?

Not all that many people

Something is clearly unraveling.

Rumor has it they like to tickle each others' homunculi right in the region known anatomically as the inferiority-superiority complex.

I hope the headline is just ragebait cause I feel infuriated

This is just obnoxious. Invest in experimental instruments without doing your due diligence and that's on you. If you don't have the humility to reckon with that you definitely don't deserve $40b of other peoples' fake money.

They rhyme

They're scratching for gizzard stones and food though, with their built-in beak, fwiw
