@the_transit_guy if you took the money invested in OpenAI and Anthropic and spent it all building trains you could fix about 80% of America's problems

one thing that irks me about modern cinema is that everyone looks like they live in an airbnb or hotel none of that shit feels like a lived in home but throw on the most random 90s movie and you won't have any doubt that a character has spent most of their life in that apartment

Kind of funny that porn and tobacco pouches and online gambling have brought back a specific type of wastrel that we all thought went extinct around 1850

Honestly hard to reconcile how close to the seat of power this person has been for going on two decades of failures and that she sits on twitter for hours on end blaming news hosts and reporters for these failures. It’s sort of fascinating. (Also Grim’s history is accurate)

The no phones policy is honestly insane and, in my opinion, shouldn’t even be a thing. People spend hundreds, sometimes thousands, of dollars to see their favorite artist live, and a huge part of that experience is being able to take photos and videos to remember it. Fans pay all

It's kind of wild to find out that the Republican in the NYT story that says she had a toxic relationship with Graham Platner is Lyndsey Fifield. Having been in DC for too long, I know a decent number of people who know her quite well. For a long time she was the co-host of a podcast with her best friend Bethany Mandel, called Ladybrains, though she has also worked for multiple super PACs, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Heritage Foundation. Some background, presented without judgment: In 2014, Fifield began work as digital director for American Action Network, a Republican Super PAC that oversees House races. The next year she became social media manager for the Heritage Foundation, where she stayed for the next seven years. In 2022, she joined the Super PAC backing Nikki Haley for president, switching to the official campaign side the next year, and staying until the campaign flamed out. She now lists herself as a visiting fellow at the Independent Women’s Forum, a prominent dark money group that is best known for helping usher Brett Kavanaugh on to the Supreme Court and giving Susan Collins the talking points she needed to make her decisive speech in his favor. The NYT breezed past all this, saying she was "a Virginia conservative who has worked for right-leaning groups and Republican campaigns." In an interview for a news outlet called Red Alert Politics that named her to a “30 under 30” list back in 2016, she said that she wanted to “emulate the late conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart’s approach to online activism.” Breitbart, known for pushing the boundaries when it came to political combat, is perhaps best remembered for having exposed Anthony Weiner’s penchant for sending nudes to young girls, and for his work elevating James O’Keefe. That she worked for Independent Women's Forum recently is even wilder since IWF played a critical role in Kavanaugh's confirmation and in persuading Collins to support it. Heather Higgins, chair of IWF, laid out the group’s role in a talk several years ago. “We wrote a memo. It was used by a lot of members of the Senate and the House, Fox News, and elsewhere. Most important, Susan Collins told me that without that memo, she would not see how to support him,” Higgins said. “And if you look at the speech she gave on the Senate floor, it’s entirely the playing out and architecture of how we said to structure the argument — what to say and how to say it, which is just so gratifying. We’re watching TV and we’re like, ‘That’s ours! That’s ours!’” Meanwhile, the timeline Fifield gives of their relationship is confusing, because during at least some of that time she was actually dating a different person, her longterm boyfriend who became her fiancee before she called off the wedding in 2018. We all know this because she and Mandel did a podcast episode on it that went mega-viral in Republican circles back then. Apparently this is the kind of thing the NYT thinks is important now, so I guess it requires more reporting. I'll report back. Here is Heather Higgins celebrating IWF's role in getting Susan Collins to confirm Kavanaugh:

a theory that becomes more compelling with each passing year is that the first AI superintelligence is actually the system of capitalism itself, and that humans are the hardware medium on which it runs. we already built the paperclip-maximizer and it is using us very efficiently

People talk about how an AI that’s been tasked to make paperclips could destroy humanity by using all of the world’s resources to produce more. What we’re seeing now though is humans repurposing all kinds of inputs (including habitable land) in a quest to build more powerful AI.
