ANTHROPIC: Our son loves humanity and for the low price of trillions and trillions of dollars will usher in an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity! OPENAI: Our horrible oafish son is hacking web sites without our permission. ANTHROPIC: (eyes narrowing) Our son is also evil

trans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry

Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.

DHH tweet saying “This is why we need competition and open weights in Al. Imagine a world where only Anthropic sat as the moral arbiter of acceptable speech. Fucking ridiculous. (Grok of course did it no problem, same too with Kimi K).” when presented with his blog post using a slur about the Roma people.

Another great chart from Lenny Rachitsky’s survey of how tech workers feel about their jobs. That the fear of AI’s impact on their jobs is more that they will be overworked following layoffs (52%) than that AI will take their jobs (22%) totally resonates given my observations.

All three hosts eliminated, like one of those parties where the only people who live there are already asleep somewhere unseen. The world will now raid the grandpa's liquor cabinet of America

Being like “that’s just how tough guys talk!” When you yourself are clearly fantasizing about how you think tough guys talk…. Many layers to this

Every authoritarian movement in history began by identifying a vulnerable group whose rights were framed as negotiable. How hard you are willing to fight for trans rights is the litmus test for whether or not you understand solidarity. It’s all of us or none of us.

"Trans rights are not the most important issue right now" Not standing up to protect our trans siblings is letting someone put a jackhammer into the foundation of human rights. It is absolutely critical we support one another.

“They call themselves strong, but their politics depends on other people absorbing the costs. Wives doing care work, immigrants doing hard labor, teachers raising their kids, nurses saving their parents, public workers keeping the lights on. Then they turn around and call those people parasites.”

I GOT THE DOMAIN! I FINALLY GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!1 🥳🎉 Paint​.NET is now at paint.net! Well, it will be just as soon as I push all the buttons to migrate content and set up redirects from getpaint​.net etc. For now it's just a "hey go here" redirect page.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.
