Stuff this back into the toilet
As @marissaesque.bsky.social wrote last spring, the assault on federal workers should be seen as part of a broader project that aims to bring about the economic immiseration of Black communities.
I think the sort of "active" transphobia practiced by people Linehan, Rowling, et al (as opposed to the more passive transphobia of bigots who don't spend their free time being transphobic) can be looked at in the same light as Morgellons, chronic Lyme, gangstalking and other internet brain diseases
When I left Twitter he was the world's saddest anti-trump crypto guy, nutty to see him posting this and QT'ing Jacobin
Mining is a key part of the Network State. KoBold Metals -- funded by Andreessen Horowitz, Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, "has secured seven new permits to search for lithium and other critical minerals in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)." www.mining.com/kobold-metal...
ICYMI i made a scraper for ICE detention facilities, and it cross checks with Wikipedia, Wikidata and OpenStreetMap to see if the facilities have solid entries on those services. Figured this could help everyone interested in the general subject. patches welcome + open MIT license for Forkification
Near-impossible to make long form YouTube watchable all the way through, but this guy nailed it
They hit you with the "(checks notes)", I'm dying
20 years and counting of startups pleading "it wasn't me, it was the code"
I am writing something about Crypto and Tech bros suddenly discovering new urbanist aesthetics but to imagine a city built in the image of VCs. Here is Thomas Schulz of Solaris (backed by Balaji) describing an SF that already exists!
AndreessenHorowitz used Super PACs to buy themselves stablecoin legislation, and are ready to do the same thing with AI. If you want to understand the playbook, I explain it in "Silicon Valley, Welfare Queen" fintechdystopia.com/chapters/cha... When Congress lets them extort, they just extort more

Not directed at you fwiw
You two aren't going to win any converts with this approach. Better to accept that you're not owed a positive reception than to cope about literacy and ignorance
Aren't you a little glad that people are invested enough to try to understand the conceptual underpinning at all, even if it's incomplete and for the purpose of critique? Some people aren't going to receive you in good faith if they mistrust your priors or feel condescended to, that's just Online.
Shitposting that sentiment is completely understandable to me even if the poster doesn't really believe it, I guess. I'm skeptical of the claim that people are being groomed by podcasts to passively wait for a market correction to make AI go away, or whatever other moral hazard Luddites present...
I think there's some overindexing by AI-understanders when they see a bunch of uninformed AI memes and wishcasting about the AI bubble popping. I don't think the shitposting is because people reject that AI has any possible value or that it's here to stay, it's that they resent how it's imposed
I think that's restating the premise of the crew who brought Luddite back as a compliment, though, isn't it? That project is "the ways tech is used and sold are political and often not in your interest" not "I reject computers and vaccines"
The "AI deserves a more informed class of critic" style of apologia is at least as tedious as uninformed AI criticism, ngl
More that it was sold directly by a criminal, not far in the past. Christie's potentially helped turn drug money into clean money. The complaint in the lawsuit would list harm the buyer's worried about, but could boil down to "I paid you to disclose things that affect value/my rep but you didn't"
The last actual tech innovation was digital signal processing (you can read the Internet-as-technology as being fully downstream of this) and everything after that was financial arbitrage, which isn’t exciting for consumers as a product
Deeply felt, thanks for posting it man.
The future is my grandma bridging her USDC on base to USDC on arc to send me $10 for my birthday ($17 in gas)
Yeah, it's exactly that one. The SIG P320
I don’t remember Aaron Swartz sticking all those papers into a proprietary black box and then charging people to use it
I am not joking one fucking bit here: this belongs in my home because I want my home's interior to look like a set from Beetlejuice

The Trump administration is pushing a rule change that would speed up the eviction process by providing tenants less notice.
Genuinely looking forward to hearing you trash Murray Rothbard while folding my laundry

Men would rather graft the oedipal triangle (mommy/daddy/me [the AI/the founder/the consumer]) onto a massive cybernetic network of theft, surveillance, and worker discipline, then learn to take care of themselves and stop looking for new mothers.

OK guys I'm an Elizabeth Warren fan now See how easy that was
Absolutely wild, wonder who won it?
My hate is pure. And any cyberlibertarian project will devolve to this level in proportion to how much money is there for the taking, even your faves
Don't think about anything beyond your terminal emulator, Jacky. Computers aren't the problem; it's people. It's people who are doing the things.
The guy on the left in this clip at 0:04 looks like Officer Vans. That must be an identifiably unique choice of footwear by this individual, wonder how often he wears them to work bsky.app/profile/dadb...
Huge W, congrats
US foreign policy is officially pro dictator.
I'm afraid they're right on this one. Exception proving the rule and so on

Tough one for me personally, completely divorced from their respective claims to truth I find both him & the Abundance bros pretty annoying

The left pro-China people are kinda just doing weird wishcasting on the main nominally socialist Other, while the pro-China right see it as the ideal system of hyper nationalist party-state capitalist authoritarianism
Matt Taibbi very obviously wants to be Hunter S. Thompson but his career arc is like if someone called Thompson problematic so he became a Reagan supporter
the eff turning 35 would be a good moment for a reckoning on how it enabled the building of this tech dystopia in the first place and still advocates some pretty shitty cyberlibertarian positions that protect the power of major tech companies
Did you notice your electricity bill went up this summer? Eliza Martin and Ari Peskoe reviewed nearly fifty rate cases and found a troubling trend: utilities are increasingly shifting the costs of data centers’ electricity consumption on to everyday consumers.
Mark Cuban’s friend: see any good tv shows lately? Mark Cuban: what you don’t understand is that for men under 35, Crypto is how they watch tv. It’s how they buy hamburgers. They don’t get debit cards which charge 8000 dollars a year to use

A startup's new business model is to take data hacked from people's computers and to sell it to debt collectors. do not think i could make this up www.404media.co/a-startup-is...
Blockchains are pretty useless for payments, I agree. I think the real worry is that the big tech platforms will now launch stablecoins and process most of the payments off-chain... From fintechdystopia.com

Samosas, pizza & slaw in the same box is demonic and I envy it immensely
Crazy how this passed mere hours before we learned the President drew boobs into his signature on Jeffrey Epstein's birthday card 🤷♀️

It still admits the existence of crypto securities right? Hope there's some daylight for meaningful enforcement by whatever agency after the new categories are created
People talk about Gensler like he was a monster, what if he actually gave too many of these freaks infinite runway instead of ending them like he should've?

Sometimes people post rhetorically without wanting an answer so sorry if this is that, but if you're looking for encouragement from a rando - if that's outpatient surgery, fuck it, go for it
Get their asses!
Congrats player
I can explain how this dipshit keeps getting funding for his project: he's Jeff Epstein, but for racists instead of pedophiles
1. Andreeseen needs money for surgery to restore his cone head to a more normal set of proportions 2. Thiel hasn't mastered his human skin-suit so needs a sweating robot replacement as a backup for public events 3. Zuckerberg needs an AI so that he has 'friends' who won't stuff him into a locker
I contributed footage to this extremely important investigation. Mapping out the scale of the raids in California has been on many folks’ minds since they ramped up in January. Fantastic reporting from everyone involved
Probably only like 20 years away from having 65 year olds that refer to themselves as white boys
Astonishing story. Huge questions over the company culture that allowed this. www.ft.com/content/c0e6...
So, is the Trump budget bill’s complete disregard for the deficit a victory for MMT?
truly incredible that the IQ/SAT dead enders are also trump guys
Could be, but I think medium to close-cropped beards are still the manosphere's choice. The vice president and Andrew Tate grow beards to cover their weak chins. The moustache can be a military look but especially on pretty guys like Chalamet and Glover, it's softer and goofier.
Tons of respect for you boss man, I'm just a humble rube, but I truly don't understand how one brand of criticism interferes with or poisons the audience for your preferred style of criticism
my prediction is that the clearance sale will continue. it will look more like 90s russia than 30s germany.

Thats right
Everything else going on sucks ABSOLUTE SHIT tbc, crowded field
I don't think the gutting of the National Firearms Act and other gun laws is talked about enough. America is about to have over-the-counter silencer sales while they gut the agency that stops you from having unregistered machine guns
