I like to say that AI doesn’t “know” anything. That AI is like a 3-year old with the internet as is encyclopedia and a full command of the English language, yet has never been out of its windowless room into the real world. This article puts my vague ideas into much better words.

“Every month after this essay is published will bring its own lot of similar announcements.” Mathematician Michael Harris, member of the working group that drafted the Leiden Declaration, on AI and the future of mathematics:

He’s going to announce some bullshit about foreign election interference in the 2020 election on Thursday. Probably so he can attempt to interfere in this year’s election.

Today is ZERO days since ICE murdered a PERSON. God protect us. This is not normal.

Monstrous. Abolish ICE. And punish them. Hold them accountable or this will keep happening.

And every time the outrage is less, taking one more step on the ladder to full blown fascism.

The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.

Truth is the enemy of liars, charlatans, thiefs, cons, crooks and criminals. The goal of science is to understand the true nature of the world through verifiable facts.

Trump is going after COVID scientists hard. Revenge tour. We didn’t cure polio by jailing our scientists. Ask not who to punish for the last pandemic…ask who will protect us from the next.

Two-time Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard is wearing a high quality mask at the start of the race. He said: “I hear already that there’s some sickness in some teams and I’ve had a history of being sick in my last two Grand Tours, so as you said: ‘Better safe than sorry.’” Great job! 👏

I guess the paint is peeling off the grass, too.

Video shared to social media by rapid response shows ICE agents abducting a man this A.M. from inside the Bridgeview Courthouse. Outside, Cook County Sheriff’s deputy Gigliotti #19013 daps it up with one of the agents. Asked about IL law preventing arrests at courthouses, deputy Glover shrugs.

Somebody put a directional controller in our street. I’m wondering what these buttons do….

Ossoff: "This is what small men like Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller will never understand. That our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas. Americans are not a race, we're a people united not by ethnicity, but by our shared convictions."

This a five alarm fire!!!!

Yesterday’s murders:

After defense officials got a request to push through a deal with a firm tied to Donald Trump Jr., Pentagon staff moved at an unusually rapid pace. “The call came from the White House: We have to get this done,” said one person involved.

The White House Intervened to Get a $620 Million Deal for a Company Tied to Donald Trump Jr.

About three months before the Pentagon announced plans to lend money to Vulcan Elements, Trump Jr.’s venture capital firm took an undisclosed stake in the company.

Our brave neighbors inside Delaney need urgent help. They are asking that doctors go in to check out everyone in unit 2a/2b. On Thursday, May 28th, they were brutalized by GEO Group guards and ICE. They need medical attention NOW.

This is NOT normal. People are on a hunger strike. Families are demanding answers. And instead of transparency, we're seeing more reports of violence. Do not look away. Keep the focus and outrage on Delaney Hall!

People like Haidt, and by extension his fellow travelers at the Times and Atlantic, don't want freedom of speech, they want a right to monologue without criticism. It's effectively "how dare those little brats complain about being forced to listen to me at their graduation."
