Here is my main opinion on AI, in every capacity: What is the point of technology? Is it to make our lives better and easier, or is it to make a very small percentage of people richer? The latter is what AI is doing. The people actually doing the coding are making themselves redundant.
wonder what it would be like to have a governor interested in public health. seems like it would be good
if we're not careful they're gonna start calling it Older, Colorado
I like this angle. I've subjectively noticed a significant shift in the last several years. Every person I know that's bought a home in since 2020 has done so in one of the surrounding towns, even if they spend most of their time here. It's encouraging to see so much new housing going up now.
I like the vessi weekend for this
nazi dems fuck off
"socialist scavenger hunt that teaches people local history" is such a cool idea, I hope we see it more often
fund the police and facilitating genocide are going to go down as world-changing catastrophes.
No matter how much I want to read someone's writing, I'm not visiting substack to do it
equal parts "you're not skinny enough to be pretty" and "omg what a slut"
one of my most favorite things to see when I am fortunate enough to travel internationally is seeing people of all ages in public spaces at night. couples eating street food and taking selfies outside of metro stops. old man playing a violin in a square with drunks, parents and children listening
I don't think anything pierces the veil of American exceptionalism more than international travel. Because very quickly, you learn A) the world does not in fact, revolve around the USA B) this place could be much, much, muuuuuuuuuuuuuuch better than it actually is
federal government just three concentration camps in a trench coat at this point
absolute dream job
What the fuck? I had to dig into this (facial recognition for race detection!? That will not work on Rashida Jones!)
I want to know which businesses
wait, hunter biden whips ass??
Congrats! So happy for you, and for us
This thread is incredible.
Glad I'm not totally bonkers
Genuinely: is it? My initial reaction was why in the fuuuuck would it be good to platform this many of these fools at once. Or any at all
I think that this is probably not it
Seeing that Gimme in the back has me missing my hometown
Im just glad to see that farts made the cut

*tossing a pillow case full of DMT onto the bonfire and taking the longest inhale of my life* guys I think I figured it out,
bidens “border bill” wasnt just immoral, it was one of the biggest political mistakes ive seen in my lifetime not only immoral but completely handicapped the party from capitalizing on this backlash, everyone involved should be drummed out of politics forever

this is so sad. I would really like to see the @404media.co model take off in more local contexts; I have no idea if that is feasible at all here
oh no
every single time I have heard this guy's name it's because he said some dumb ass bullshit. never understood how he would be considered "left"
this seems to not actually be true...?
I had the best damn time like 20 years ago at a small reunion show they did in Cambridge MA but I didn't know they kept going! It turns out they are playing a show a half hour from me in Arvada, CO in THREE DAYS thank you for your service sir
Really seems like bluesky might want to alert us when it auto-mutes someone we follow because of this!
this feels a little off. push notifications shouldn't be an absolute requirement to be useful to millions of people. and also: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...
This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)
would love to support a primary challenger
easy call as a subscriber to toss Bolts a few extra bucks. thanks for the nudge!
There really is something special about what Zohran and Brad are showing the rest of the world what it still means to be a New Yorker and an American. A Jew and a Muslim modeling a politics of mutual respect, rejecting cynicism. Human decency has been taking a beating but she's not out just yet!
Including our very own @neguse.house.gov. For the first time ever today, a staffer answered when I called. They didn't sound happy about it either
Truly horrified by this order in way that is deeper and darker than I have felt over many truly awful merits decisions.
the Supreme Court is illegitimate. Period.
yep, second or third date and we thought it would be at least a half celebration. instead, devastating. but! we both learned we could absolutely count on each other that night. now we're best friends and also married
if only it were a movie: the 2016 election
Former presidents have nothing to say about the end of the republic but will climb out of their coffins to murder a progressive campaign
I think that if you were not familiar with the supposed political values of the Democratic Party, its performance over the last five months would lead you to conclude that they are primarily a pro-genocide party with center right economics and a fierce commitment to loyalty and gate keeping.
not sure if it's NYT or CNN with the biggest boner right now for this absolutely unnecessary illegal war of aggression
feed the police state another illegal war corruption is king
*Trump illegally entering war against Iran*: "NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!"

someone I know spent two years working with his manager at amazon to come up with a plan to allow him to move across the country with his wife and kids, and work remotelty. a year after the move they demanded he move back to Seattle. so he quit, after over a decade with them. don't work for amazon
Mahmoud Khalil is free.
So many horrible things happening daily, that I somehow nearly missed half my state going up for auction. We really do not need to be more like Texas, where ~95% of land is privately-owned.
Unethical people who are determined to do one thing or another with LLMs or any other tech will find a place and a way. Regulation will discourage well-meaning folks, and in my experience most people are well-meaning at least. We do need to be able to defend content and systems against LLMs though
you really do not have to hand it to him
We've completely blown our lead on anything important, but if we're going to have a conversation around playing catch-up with China I vote we start with things we know people want and need: transit, EVs, health care Not clicking on that substack though
ah yes, another "i'm mad about my own choices" article padded with a dozen half-related paragraphs to make the author look Smart and Thoughtful
[live cut to AP3 realizing they can barely pull off 3% of coeur d'alene, let alone the entire country]
I know a lot of people feel like a social media platform has to be on track to be The One to be successful. We don't need everyone to be here, and "diversity of thought" doesn't feel like it should be a goal at all. We need this place to be good. It's pretty good right now.
Funny how these articles are always about Bluesky and not, like, Truth Social or whatever
whining about how the protestors need to mind their manners sure looks fucking stupid now
i somehow only just now learned that Zohran Mamdani made a rap song and recorded a music video... AND ITS A BOP??!? youtu.be/iQVsVNPkPmE?...
are the experts in the room with us now
I'll never forget the time I saw a brand new H2 get completely stuck in under a half inch of snow in Boston
I'm so curious about the numbers (not explicitly asking you for yours). I've wondered in the past if this could be something I'd be able to help with, whether technical or financial
this sort of thing is why most folks I know have stopped giving to NPR, maybe consider that next time you all spend half your airtime asking for money
flags are neither the problem nor the solution here, surprised we have to say this borders are the problem though
just to be clear, this is taking the side of bigotry in the conversation. you can get mad and block people about it all you want, but telling people to hide their identity in a protest about protecting people from those who would harm them based on their identity is not helpful
Welp, it took eleven years of living here but I finally opened my front door to find a fully grown mountain lion

NB: when someone says "I'm all for ___ but" they are lying to your face
Are all the "I'm all for reform but defund the police is a bad slogan" folks spinning up their think pieces now? Maybe their superior ideas are finally ready to float publicly? No, they're going to quietly pretend they aren't seeing any of this
Jared Polis is so fucking corrupt
TRUTH BOMB 💣 this guy is a Pedophile. I also made him President
if you're still in line to watch the world's two biggest dipshits crash out in public, stay in line
absolutely love this song
Love your weekly sets, and the members-only content as well. Would love to support you on, say, Nebula, if you'd consider being there in addition to YT.
Yeah. First I got one, but then of course I needed one for it to talk to. But those had poor battery life! Here come two more. Oh, better get a nice antenna for one. Hm, what about a solar setup... whoops I'm a Radio Guy now
helps that the bubble is lined with unlimited cash!
i've never gotten into short form video or chatgpt and im so hyped to eventually be one of the last remaining people with attention span and analytical skills, i think it's really going to increase my value to enterprising warlords during the water wars
I genuinely don't know where to begin when people start saying things like "open source is people savagely working to unemploy their peers" Without free software, I'm not interested in computers at all
I guess aside from the weirdly pejorative tone of this corporate blog post, my thing on this is that software is encoded decision-making. The expression of a well-developed thought process. That's the value. LLMs throw all that out in favor of extremely advanced guessing. fly.io/blog/youre-a...
the opinions on open source in those posts gave me a kind of ick I hadn't felt in a while
in a way it's a pretty clear message, just expressing the opposite of what we want, and what is remotely humane. maybe it's life they're bad at
what. that is dryer lint. that is dried up dog shit. that is spanish moss out of a blender.
Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.
Okay, so what are you all doing about it. That is the only thing I want to hear from people like this.
jared puh-lease
In case you’re not good at quick maths, this would be 1,095,000 people in a year if actually carried out.
High speed rail in China is fantastic. Nearly as fast as a plane, no degrading security checks, and smooth as butter the whole ride. Big parts of the future we were robbed of exist all over
