An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” @johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
POPE LEO: “Let us plead God to stop the pandemic of arms, large and small, which infects our world.” He prays for the victims in Minneapolis, and “the countless children killed and injured every day around the world”
Reefer Madness in this Fox News Weekend segment. Now they’re blaming school shootings on cannabis.
Pritzker is the Uncle Jimmy we all need right now
I love the way he calmly and plainly communicates. And he will not stand for it.
Plainly tells it like it is. No BS.
CBS would probably fire him for outright calling it a lie.
The way the media covered it, and especially right wing outlets, made it look like Alex Garland’s Civil War
At least he called her out on it
Such BS. I was in LA during the protests. Seeing the news coverage, I expected a war zone. Instead, everyone was just going about their day. Protests were in one block of downtown. The city’s so big and sprawling, you wouldn’t have known anything was even going on. Hardly even impacted traffic.
They knew who he was, and voted for him anyway. Strategists say criticizing Trump is ineffective because maga loves him anyway, but I think those traits are actually what many of them love most about him. Except for maybe the Epstein thing, but they knew about that and just didn’t care.
By what means? Republicans refused to remove him from office after two impeachments. They and the Supreme Court have handed over the keys to this country to one man. And he’s an unhinged sadistic moron.
I hate the line of questioning, but she is right that democrats need to offer more solutions for the future. But that does not mean we shouldn’t point out how utterly destructive the Trump regime has been / will continue to be to our democracy.
This is the type of person Trump pardoned. He proudly asserts that they should have injured a US Capitol Police Officer worse than they did on January 6th (@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social) had to medically retire). But MAGA supports law enforcement? Seriously? Then show me by condemning this guy.
Why does Laura Trump dwarf every man she sits down with for an interview? By a lot.
The extent to which ICE is ignoring all civil rights and due process is astounding — and indicative of a culture where they’ve been told they can do literally no wrong. Agency and admin leaders must face sanctions and legal consequences.
Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call Don't stand in the doorway Don't block up the hall For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled The battle outside ragin' Will soon shake your windows And rattle your walls
Primary them all. What have we got to lose?

In this way, I kinda like not knowing
JD has been strutting around like a man who knows that Trump is on his last cankled leg
BOOM. The federal appeals court rules Trump's tariffs illegal, because they are. There's no national emergency, and so the power to tariff a country rests with Congress. Trump admin has lost at every stage of the process, but stay tuned for the Supremes to chime in.
I’d like to see a spare kidney walking around unused. That would be wild! These guys think poor people only exist to supplement the lives of the rich, down to growing organs for them until needed for harvesting.
It just keeps getting better.
Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.
Exchange of differing viewpoints is so important!!! I love talking politics with my libertarian friend, especially lately lol. But that discourse takes place in person, not on this platform.
The catalyst plot point of Idiocracy is just not the brag he thinks it is
Ah yes, the catalyst plot point of Idiocracy
If you can't come up with a winning message about how the power mad dunce emperor marching federal troops into peaceful cities is bad, you should not have a job in politics
I would devote my free time and money campaigning for a candidate like this in my area. And I’m certain I’m not alone. More of this, please.

Then they came for the gay community And I did not speak out Because I was not gay Then they came for women
First they came for the immigrants And I did not speak out Because I was not an immigrant Then they came for the homeless And I did not speak out Because I was not homeless Then they came for the trans community And I did not speak out Because I was not trans Then they came for _(fill in the blank)
By gatekeeping health data, the Trump administration’s AI Action Plan risks hardwiring bias into the future of American medicine, Craig Spencer argues.
We could overturn the old guard with more candidates like him running across the country. Time for a left wing Tea Party.
My god, you are so good at this ❤️🔥
I was on NewsNation again last night—calling out Trump for politicizing crime in American cities to distract from the economy, the Epstein files, and getting pushed around by Putin.
And who could forget the MAGA bomber? Oh, wait.. we all did.
But where there’s a fortune to be made, all morals go out the window
Props to your social media team, these supercuts are great 😂
This guy has the message Democrats need to get behind. Why is that so hard?
WSJ: ChatGPT fueled a 56-year-old tech industry veteran’s paranoia, encouraging his suspicions that his mother was plotting against him.... On Aug. 5, Greenwich police discovered that Soelberg killed his mother and himself in the $2.7 million Dutch colonial-style home where they lived together.
yo this guy is cooking
First they came for the immigrants And I did not speak out Because I was not an immigrant Then they came for the trans community And I did not speak out Because I was not trans Then they came for the gay community And I did not speak out Because I was not gay Then they came for women
They forgot about that guy in two days, but still talk about Steve Scalise and blame Bernie.
Resident doctors are being exploited. They’re working 70 or 80 hours a week and trying to pay off student debts with totally inadequate salaries. The good news is that they are forming unions and fighting back. I stand with them.
Medicare will start requiring prior approval for certain procedures — and will hire private AI companies to determine if patients are covered. The AI companies would have financial incentives to deny claims, because Medicare plans to pay them some of the savings from rejections.
Taxes? I think he meant tariffs.
Federal taxes on groceries? Does he mean tariffs?
Sure, Mike. www.reuters.com/article/fact...
Other countries have people suffer from mental heath crisis. The difference? They restrict access to guns.
He told the president he will give him whatever he wants.
Other countries around the world have mental health issues. The common denominator is unrestricted gun access.

What could go wrong?
BREAKING: The Texas House just voted to expand the state’s extreme abortion ban by criminalizing anyone who makes, prescribes, or transports abortion medication — even out-of-state. Texas already has poor reproductive health care, and this will make it worse.
I know a guy who can’t “afford” rent or car payments, but has an ever growing collection of guns and toys. True story.
Go for it. I don't even care any more.
Newsom: This cannot be normalized. And yes so I'm highlighting some just just blatant hypocrisy. Yes, we are putting a mirror up to the lunacy that is trump's tweets and his grift.
Q: "This is the second shooting involving a trans shooter who specifically targeted Christians. What consequences do the gender-affirming caregivers face?" Leavitt: "That is still currently being investigated...HHS is investigating links between these drugs...and violence."
Lady in the radiator says in Heaven, everything is fine

These side by sides are brutal 🤣💀
Uh oh
As @jeffhorwitz.bsky.social and others have reported, these accounts are often managed by adults, sometimes ones who know what they're enabling, but figure it's ok to take the money of men sexualizing their kids if they engage in some cursory moderation. 3/ www.wsj.com/tech/meta-st...
JD Vance struts around like a man who knows Trump is on his last cankled leg
If the DNC establishment can’t get on board with this message, they deserve to be overthrown
More of this, please
“Firearms are the number one killer of our kids in America. That’s a uniquely American problem.”
Democrats hope that the secretive content creator program, funded by a powerful liberal dark money group called The Sixteen Thirty Fund, might tip the scales in their favor online after Kamala Harris' stunning loss to Trump last fall. They're seeking to buy influence in online spaces.
Turns out some of the “we want small government” people kiiiinda wanted the government to be just one guy.
I mean, don’t sex offenders have to notify the neighborhood?
Grok's Tips on How to Assassinate Elon Musk Are One More Red Flag for Wall Street https://gizmodo.com/grok-assassinate-elon-musk-2000648719
Undermining the Fed to get lower rates now is like ripping the batteries out of your smoke alarm because it’s beeping. It’s quiet for a bit. Then your house burns down. Credibility anchors expectations; expectations anchor inflation.
What a weird way to write an article
“The hiring of an election conspiracy theorist with no election knowledge or expertise is the culmination of this reversal,” said David Becker of the Center for Election Innovation & Research. “DHS now appears poised to become a primary amplifier of false election conspiracies.”

Wow. On NPR, @gbrumfiel.bsky.social reports a Social Security official “copied the Social Security numbers, names and birthdays of over 300 million Americans to a private section of the agency's cloud.” The source is a whistleblower, who is named: Charles Borges, SSN chief data officer.
Trump threatens to declare a national emergency, admits there’s no emergency
Trump: "'Trump is a dictator' -- most people say, if he stops crime, he can be whatever he wants."
Donald Trump has vowed to deport millions and jail his enemies. To carry out that agenda, his administration will exploit America’s digital surveillance machine. Here are steps you can take to evade it.
People experiencing miscarriages in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position. (Published Dec. 2024)
The exchanges between Adam and ChatGPT are devastating. This, in my mind, is the worst one. One of his last messages was a photo of the noose hung in his bedroom closet, asking if it was "good." ChatGPT offered a technical analysis of the set up and told him it 'could potentially suspend a human."

Former Palantir employee explains the uses and dangers of Palantir's AI surveillance and targeting tools:
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
Trump: "A lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator."
This guy needs a band
They are burning food aid from American farmers
Trump: I’m going to be reducing drug prices by 1400-1500%
