Trump promised “the most epic party in all of American history.”

What showed up instead, Hamilton Nolan writes, was sod, security fencing, military flyovers, and “the air of a boss who threw a birthday party and required his employees to attend.”

"We’ve reached the point in the erosion of the First Amendment where the government considers possession of anarchist zines and membership in a terrorist cell to be more or less the same," Seth Stern and Jeremy Busby write in @theintercept.

at this point I’m done apologizing to these dickheads, because the apology and the optics of the “other side” apologizing is exactly what fascist school board assholes and LLM boosters with right-wing ties want.

I don’t go into pro-LLM spaces to harass people and neither does any AI critic I know. all of us think pro-AI spaces are too gross to touch. that’s why it’s a fucking tragedy when a space goes pro-AI: it sucks the oxygen out of everything else and turns everything into slop. it’s fucking depressing.

I’m out of patience for supposed AI critics acting like authorities in a space I’m extremely active in, pretending that we’re doing something we don’t do. I’m tired of finding out those supposed critics have been critihyping AI for years and run in right-wing circles.
