Individual responsibility at a large scale is one of the most nonsensical, denialist pillars of contemporary liberalism. If the voting base has a significant contingent of "Bernie or bust" voters, the smart move is to acknowledge and confront that reality.

Over six months, we tracked the appearance of child sexual abuse material on X. We found images from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's database, which is considered one of the most highly vetted and which many tech companies block on upload. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/11/t...

The person saying AI may well kill us is working in alignment and safety. This is exactly the work they *should* be doing if they believe that. Saying that person shouldn't make AI is not a sensible response, because that's not what that person does.

"changes the nature of humanity" was a weird claim and rightfully criticized, but credit where due on knowing exactly how to react to the criticism that overreaches
There are some rumors, some allegations, that I got the chosis. The AI psychosis. Let me just put those to bed:
Do I use agentic coding for everything now? Yes
Do I think LLMs can be useful for a ton of great things? Yes
I have the chosis yes that’s what I’m getting at

A strong stance of "AI thinks" or "AI doesn't think" requires a clear definition of "thinking" and a strong argument for why that definition is correct for thinking things besides AI (like humans). Arguments from intuition aren't enough here.

I don't understand why people aren't capable of just writing exactly what an image shows for their alt text. What does a viewer need to notice to understand the point of the image? Just describe that.

From the very beginning of this recent obsession with identifying everyone online (yes, they like to call it "age" verification, but it always ends up as identity verification), we've been pointing out that it was a huge privacy nightmare waiting to happen.

Really not liking Copilot's cutesy "thinking" messages. Don't tell me you're reticulating splines. I love a Sims reference as much as the next dork, but you're a tool, not a game. Tell me what you're actually doing.

My copy of the canned response from 1password was sent by someone with a director title, so I think it's safe to say they're both a) flooded with angry emails and b) worried about it. If you're a 1pw user and haven't already, I'd really encourage you to contact them ([email protected])

The modern American framing for everything is that no problem is so great that it cannot be overcome by going directly to the manager and complaining and when that fails, throwing a bomb at the problem. Lab leak theories the way that urge manifested for COVID-19.

Going to try this again; I'm working on a story about the white collar job market. I'm interested in talking to people who have had struggles looking for work. Especially looking for people who are not writers or editors but are working in other capacities.

The people who talk about AI like it's actually capable of replacing engineers must be using models from years in the future, because the only time I see high quality output from it is when it's used by a skilled engineer in a tight feedback loop
