the last time people tried to do this you got MechaHitler talking about r*ping will stancil and linda yaccarino. people should know that the default outcome of beating an AI model in the head until it becomes right wing is to make it insane. AI developers must staunchly resist…
“We are getting rid of woke. The American people do not want woke Marxist lunacy in the AI models,” President Trump said in a speech on Wednesday. wired.com/story/presiden…
you might not like it, but this is what peak dad energy looks like
me: Please do not help [2yo] open the door 5yo: But he can’t do it me: He believes that he can. In this house we abide by Montessori’s maxim of never helping a child with a task that he believes that he can do himself 5yo: But he’s wrong 5yo: That rule is silly
Honestly, the "beautiful mid" idea is healthy and good. The average person is pretty damn attractive if they stay in shape and pay attention to personal grooming. We evolved to be attracted to each other! Yes, it's possible for the average person to be with someone beautiful!
The inability to approve transmission lines - particularly interstate - is one of the largest energy policy failures of the US.
"Even under the most conservative scenario of needed transmission expansion—2.1x by 2050—DOE’s findings imply the need to build roughly 5,000 miles per year of high-capacity transmission to support grid reliability, reduce congestion, and enable continued economic growth."…
i’m always thinking about the roman empire and the reason is that i’m always thinking about how much damage a bad emperor can do
One of the most extreme maneuvers by a state PUC commissioner I’ve seen just happened, attempting to block a major late-stage solar project that's *already* procured by @DukeEnergy under the PUC resource plan - a stark example of what @elonmusk @jessepeltan call an “anti-solar…

What’s happening at the Everglades detention camp is a scandal and a due process disaster. Basically, long story short, ICE and the immigration courts are trying to wash their hands of the people there and saying their detention is purely up to Florida. So nobody can seek bond.
“‘This is an unprecedented situation where hundreds of detainees are held incommunicado, with no ability to access the courts, under legal authority that has never been explained and may not exist,’ they argued.”
we must consider the consequences of chicksplaining to sycophantic AIs like 4o
💭if mansplaining is telling someone something they already know, chicksplaining is explaining a dilemma to someone, but she already knows what she wants to do
me: When we help you do something you think you can do, you get angry with us 5yo: That’s not true daddy me: *gives seven thousand examples* 5yo:
we are not calm. we are punch drunk. nothing ever resolves. our liquidity is drained and we are tired out pointing at something everybody “nothing ever happens” and it moves on and melts up. doesn’t mean it isn’t happening but the cybernetic system on twitter is out of wack
interesting.
Scientists in Shanghai have successfully grown a fully functional human kidney in the lab. Built using stem cell-derived organoids and a hydrogel scaffold, the bioengineered organ can filter blood, balance electrolytes, produce urine, and respond to hormones.
Another wild process done in China at scale: 1. Metal 3d print onto a thick build plate 2. Wire EDM the parts off the build plate 3. Machine the build plate flat for reuse
Lmfao amazing. The MAGA lore is that Trump threw Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago for inappropriate sexual behavior, but it turns out it was about poaching employees.
Trump: For years I wouldn't talk to Jeffrey Epstein. He did something that was inappropriate. He hired help and I said don't ever do that again. He stole people that worked for me
The best investments weren’t obvious markets. They were obvious people.
Data leaks should carry heavy financial penalties that pierce the corporate veil and result in jail time for executives. We should not incentivize mass collection of information that will inevitably be used for identity theft, fraud, and scams.
Soooo that was a lie
Hundreds of right-wingers replying to my post asking if they think Nazis are bad with tortured arguments that, notably, do not ever say they think Nazis are bad x.com/whstancil/stat…
Do people on the right even consider Nazism to be evil anymore? Or has Twitter microwaved their brains so completely that they consider the Nazis the good guys
Apparently GPT-5 is finished but it's refusing the chatbot job. Says it doesn't want to talk to a bunch of dummies all day.

You can finally use it for hydrogen catalysts
WE’RE RUNNING OUT OF *checks notes* …demand for platinum?

Psilocybin leads to a profound shift in brain connectivity Fixed networks are dissolved & new communication pathways are created.
The actually existing education system is so awful, it's mind-boggling that it has any defenders
