Apparently we need to update this since Kash Patel has opened a whole new line of insults due to his appearance this morning.

I'm not sure I could string them together at a protest without gagging, but I'm sure someone can.

Hi, I'm an actual AI researcher (or I was, until I shifted subfields)!

This is impressively incorrect to the point of being completely detached from reality. AFAICT Will is buying the hype about "reasoning models", which are really just passing their input back to themselves for checking.
Yes, AIs think. You can read their thoughts as they have them. AI companies hide the AI’s thoughts because other AI companies might read them and use those thoughts to train their own AIs. This is all very strange and astonishing science fiction territory but it’s real.
Oh, they "think," do they?

When they eventually make a movie about this time, please don't put the male politicians in good suits. IMO, the ugly, low rent tailoring should be part of the story.

discomfort at hearing a foreign language used to be one of the ways we'd identify racists so I'm going to file this under "things I don't care about" and say anyone trying to make a broader point about it is in fact also racist

Diesel new highs, China crude making new record premiums vs Brent, backwardation accelerating, tanker rates exploding. All of this suggests the crude market is tightening rapidly because China has stopped relying on strategic draws. Much more impt than the US SPR if it sustains.

Terrifying to think their cognitive abilities are employed somewhere.
Facebook is obviously trash, but it's always instructive to see how car-brained suburbanites react to a story about cyclists asking not to be killed

The base of the Rawson campaign crew came from UF College Republicans who aren’t hiding it or any of their recent nazi salute & Fishback scandals

They just put out a truly terrible reel for Rawson on their Twitter account

The XHD I purchased 2 months ago for $450 is now on “sale” for $750.

Everyone should know more world energy consumption.

“The surge in need comes against the backdrop of a cut in funding last year by a third, with the US, the largest donor by far, cutting its contribution by more than half.”

Trump is an accelerationist and Democrats move further right.

“Their thinking was, that multiple coordinated attacks on the energy & power systems of the U.S., would cause power outages and confusion in the population, which could lead to chaos and civil unrest.”

People used to ask me how many Neo-Nazis & white nationalists were in the US…

Well this ⬇️, won a GOP primary.

Hill celebrated the Tree of Life massacre.

He shared a video of it online and said:

“It never gets old! What a great ad for us!”
Last month Marshall Rawson won upset victory in GOP primary for seat in Florida House of Representatives.

Here he is nine years ago arriving at the infamous Unite the Right rally. He's greeted, by name, by members of League of the South, a white nationalist/southern secessionist group

Dozens and dozens of hate group members both donated to and promoted his campaign at the very beginning. Without their early support it might not have gained th3 momentum it did. This is probably the most heavy lifting organized hate has done for a candidate since David Duke in the 1980s.
