Slashing federal health & food safety oversight has major consequences. Trump has eviscerated food safety programs & monitoring requirements. We’ve already had one brutal outbreak from contaminated food & more will come if we don’t turn this around. We must reverse these cuts.

Food safety experts fear next outbreak could be deadlier as Trump cuts weaken oversight

Trump administration cuts to staffing, inspections and disease tracking are making foodborne outbreaks harder to stop before more people get sick or die, experts say.

Trump’s war against Iran is illegal & atrocious. It must end. But it’s also atrocious for anyone to celebrate or defend the fascist Iranian regime, which continues to murder its own people.

Disappointing, I expected better. But will wait and see what happens. My red line is: Ability to change IDs, healthcare like HRT, opposition to bathroom bills, and anti discrimination protections with respect to housing/employment. If she crosses any of that, then yeah I won't endorse her.

1. In the aftermath of forcing the Ohio Progressive Caucus to delete criticism of Amy Acton for calling trans girls "boys," progressives were promised a meeting with Acton. Now, we have learned she didn't show up, and kicked trans people out of the meeting. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The reason why young people cannot find a place to live? Its NIMBYism. We can debate how much life would improve if the super rich shared their portion of their pie. But lets look at who is constraining how big the pie could be. NIMBYs are the culprits.

solution to ai slop is the same as it's always been with human slop; if someone is giving you garbage, fire them, or if you aren't paying them, consider paying someone to do a better job, or just use ai to do it yourself.

this article opens with 10 paragraphs about Daniel Stenberg and cURL’s slop problem as of January without mentioning that in April he said: ”The slop situation is not a problem anymore” and AI reports ”are mostly very high quality” daniel.haxx.se/blog/2026/04...

Well, looks like we will use AI to fix AI slop after all. AI Code assist tools and agents are only going to improve here on out.

I'm extremely strongly against fat shaming, but this is just straight facts, and it's silly how much some folks try to act like this isn't true. It's your life. It's your body. You get to make these choices yourself. But rejecting this is like rejecting that tobacco is linked to lung cancer.

The link between obesity and cancer, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, sleep apnea, cognitive decline, etc. is one of the most well understood concepts in medical science. No credible person believes otherwise.

I know people on this platform are frustrated with her recent statement regarding trans kid participation in sports. Somethings to keep in mind: She is still highly likely to oppose bathroom bills and is against housing/job discrimination of trans people. Live in Ohio? Vote for Amy Acton!

I wrote a short post on how I think most of my commentary on AI and the environment is actually a normative rather than factual disagreement with the mainstream, and how that's ultimately rooted in the ethical philosophy of political liberalism. blog.andymasley.com/p/toward-env...

I don't fully get why people with tons of skeletons in their closet try to get into the public spotlight, beyond some pathology.

How do most people view ai companies? Its not universal hate or love. Haters are clearly in the minority. And between Claude and OpenAI, the more people like them than dislike them. XAI is the only one that is unpopular. www.theargumentmag.com/p/why-everyo...

This quote from Jeff Bezos is blowing up basically saying giving resources to AI is more important than giving it to humans. But best I can tell the quote is completely made up. It doesn't appear in the video of the talk the article says it's in.

The world is bleak right now, but I am more and more convinced that, if we can get through this rough patch, we can transcend our current problems to a sci-fi-esque, post-scarcity future Keep your chin up, keep fighting, we increasingly have the tools to build paradise, don't give up

Yes, Social media amplifies whoever posts the most clickbait nonsense, no matter how harmful/ inaccurate. At least with AI, there is an effort to tackle misinformation comes out of it. You general run of the mill LLM even now is going to be much more accurate than the average clickbait podcaster.

Social media has done far more to harm society than AI, and it's not even close

Open weight gemini 5/opus 4.6 trained solely on Huawei Ascend chips. Its so over

A lot of people seem to think trans HRT is a glorified placebo or just "affirming" or something and not that every sexual secondary characteristic is modulated by hormones Everything outside of reproductive organs we think of as "male" or "female" is hormonally induced

Good. Open weight and opensource should be the future for LLMs.

Bro, have you met western leftists? Baseless assumptions, anti-scuence, tribalism and talking over non-westrners is the entire point. I distinctly remember all the current MAHA shit used to be extremely left coded before covid. The anti-vax moms were all blue. Also, this posts reply:

It's time for us western lefties to do better. Instead of just baselessly assuming AI is all about making the rich richer, look and listen how it's being used to improve the lives of those in developing countries, or what their plans, hopes and dreams are with this emerging technology.

Anyone who invokes Aaron Swartz to argue in favor of stronger copyright laws, including on LLM training fundamentally misrepresent who Swartz is. Sure, Aaron would criticize Openai, etc, but because they are closed source, not for training on copyrighted content. web.archive.org/web/20130114...

It's especially weird how a lot of people now invoke Aaron "Information Wants to Be Free" Swartz to defend strong copyright protections
