Nate Silver's whole deal is that he accurately called a coinflip 20 years ago and, as a result, we will never be rid of him.
I'd rather be a pig than a fascist he/him

Nate Silver's whole deal is that he accurately called a coinflip 20 years ago and, as a result, we will never be rid of him.
When Nate Silver continues his obsessions with the website
Billionaire AI founders when they invent AGI and ask it the solution to humanity’s problems, and it responds tax them at higher rates.
I really hate AI overview. I always catch myself reading it before I'm like NO.
It's like 2008-era Twitter after an earthquake
A more plausible explanation is that he's just lazy
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
This is the most American sentence ever written
Tech oligarchs oppose the idea of any supposedly undeserving person getting financial help from the government in 2025. But they want you to believe they’ll give *everyone* free money in the future. It doesn’t make any sense, but it’s the techno-utopian lie they will keep selling.
Ah yes, the well-known negotiations we had with Germany and Japan
"Meeting the moment" can't just be about sticking it up to Republicans.
It’s genuinely baffling to me how the GOP has managed to maintain a reputation in basically all media as the “law and order“ party and the party of “fiscal responsibility“ in contradiction to all readily available facts

Sam Altman: I see humans achieving omnipotence using dark matter by… 2030 maybe? That’s if OpenAI is given a quadrillion dollars Theo Von: Yeah Altman: Or, we may become a race of slaves, genetically modified to be harvested by robot spiders. That’s if OpenAI doesn’t get the money Von: Right
Sam Altman: yeah so data centers, well you know they take a lot of power to run. And I figure, what is more powerful than Goku? Interviewer: Goku is pretty powerful. Altman: Goku will power our data centers. Interviewer: yeah
The passage regarding RTO in Vlad Tenev's interview is telling: the question of productivity or morale is brushed over while the idea that employees must suffer is made explicit.

It was always about pedophiles wanting to see the genitals of children.
Not linking to the publisher because fuck them for printing this kind of propaganda
Ignoring for a moment the fact that the dude went, at a great expense of time and money, on a different continent to kill —for fun!— in what world does hunting an animal to death not constitute a provocation?
Faudrait surtout pas faire de la vérité punitive
Cette canicule est politique. Elle est fruit de 40 ans d'inaction politique, depuis TotalEnergies qui sait depuis 1971 que ses activités sont néfastes pour le climat à Bayrou qui met fin sciemment aux politiques écologiques au nom de l'austérité budgétaire.

1. This is a bananapants take. Like a pair of pants, entirely filled with bananas. 2. If you blame politics for your inability to find a sexual partner, most of the time, that’s not the reason. 3. Grow the fuck up.
If you aren’t familiar, Terence Tao is a Fields Medalist and arguably the most prominent and accomplished mathematician of his generation. No one is safe, basically. The current administration will use any excuse to burn it all to the ground.

NEW: On March 15, President Donald Trump’s administration sent more than 230 Venezuelan immigrants to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. Last week, the men were released as suddenly as they’d been taken away. These are their stories.
Sorry, I thought the Dems were in command of the DoJ for the last four years?
I for one would like to stop being trapped in a Matt Groening panel from 1996
Remember back when the Epstein files were some far right batshit conspiracy theory pushed by red-pilled incels and not a political play by elected Dems? Good times Well done walking right into that one everyone

Big I-can-fix-her energy Calling for someone's resignation is the most armchair quarterbacking move, but I struggle to see how there are "equally compromised" publications as one treating a white eugenicist as a legit source in a smear campaign against a Muslim while disciplining a black employee
Seems the NYT does more editing of its employees' social media feeds than the words published in its pages
With all due respect to Kai, whose show I enjoy listening to – the fact that a journalist dares to ask this question publicly and candidly is maddening. Like, dude. The net worth of congresspeople is near public data. Their trades. Their PACs. It's all right there.
Sorry for being dense but – money?
2016 / Obama in power / not rigged 2020 / Trump in power / rigged 2024 / Biden in power / not rigged By Trump's logic, we should elect Democrats to make sure our elections work well. I agree.
The fact that new readers work less well is downright embarrassing enough – but BART's official stance on this issue is that millions of riders will just need to upgrade their card? Shameful.
Good morning Dear Leader, I'm a reporter for Dear Leader News. Do you consider this new concentration camp a great step forward in your plan to round up and possibly kill the people you believe to be subhuman.
NYT coverage tomorrow: we went and asked a swamp biologist if alligators even like human meat. The response is bad news for Democrats.
I absolutely lay this specifically at Dems feet’s and anyone who mocked identity politics
No one is saying that you shouldn't watch sports. You're making up an adversary because you *know* the sports you watch are problematic and you're too chickenshit to confront yourself to that. As with most talking points from the right, this is projection.
Death, taxes, and an infant's ability to shit themselves at the worst possible time
The real irony: the natural consequence of abolishing universal birthright citizenship is for naturalized citizens to be recognized as a superior class – because they literally have a documented proof of their American-ness
The difference between this and Nazi propaganda against Jews is that this is AI-generated.

Of the *tremendously* high amounts of shit that America is responsible for, what the Bush administration did in just two years is probably the most egregious. So much of our current fractures and sliding into authoritarianism can be traced back to Guantanamo and Irak, one way or another.
Please quit now
It’s time for you to resign.
This is excellent. You don't have to know or care who Kevin Roose is, either. Just really puts a finger on a certain type of empty, amoral savvy. defector.com/toward-a-the...
More broadly, I don’t understand the point of this rhetorical frame. I am the effective critic who comes on Bluesky and complicates people’s views on AI. It’s me. I’m the person. Why make the conversation dumber? To what end? And why only glibly mock those with valid critiques of the power dynamics?
How do you know these are federal agents? Nothing is identifying about them
J'ai dû aller vérifier que ce n'était pas un fake, mais non, c'est une vraie publication (sur X) de l'armée qui commet une boucherie de civils chaque jour que Dieu ou le Diable fait depuis plus d'un an et demi (et qui a attaqué l'Iran la première).
You voted for the boldest face liar in history and now want to project your lack of complicity in this lie now that it impacts *you*? I don't have enough Pikachu faces to offer you.
It's not what-we-voted-for unless it's exactly what you deluded yourself in believing would happen. Otherwise it's just sparkling disappointment.
I'm sorry but this is delusion dialed up to 11. Trump is a racist, Miller is a racist. Both have a well documented history of racist comments and actions. It takes zero imagination to go from the discourse on the campaign trail to where we are today. There's no whitewashing this, period.
Counterpoint:
Call me a snowflake but I think the part where it's owned by a Nazi and becomes a cesspool of far-right crap had something to do with it.

Look incidentally, on top of everything else, there isn't a remotely plausible argument that deporting immigrants is a constitutional power of the president. It's 100% a statutory authority
Is being sick of this shit a precondition?
You don't have to "look into it". You have to admit that you thought it was a cool idea to get rid of actual humans because they cost money, and instead used a plagiarism shitshow that makes up absolute garbage, inflicting a huge environmental cost on the planet that doesn't touch your bottom line.

"empiricism is the key to unlocking an accurate understanding of politics, political behavior, and the world."
Meta: I wonder how many "unbiased data-driven analysis" blogs were launched in the past decade. "If people just hear the facts, they will surely change their minds" is such a batshit stance to take at the time the secretary of health claims that vaccines contain the DNA of aborted fetuses.
