At home, off to watch a movie.

Frontier AI labs are asking the internet to defend against their own models. I think that's backwards: the zoo, not society, is responsible for an escaped tiger. My take on accountability, unresolved collusion incidents, and OpenAI's collective cyberdefense pitch. shokk.com/2026/09/12/big-fro…

I welcome it!! "it’s not out of the question that Anthropic or OpenAI—which barely had any revenue before 2023—could equal or surpass the revenue of all of Musk’s public companies some time in the next 12 to 24 months. Let that sink in." derekthompson.org/p/the-9-qu…

Contrast this elegant response with the mush mouth drivel that Trump drools out between naps and beshitting his diaper.

The pendulum swings as it ever has. The right loves to abuse terms like “radical left.” They should pray they never see what that actually means, but this is nothing radical. This is just how history works. Luckily the internet remembers everything. huffpost.com/entry/democrats…

We've been talking about gun control all this time, when all we needed were more ballrooms. It's genius if you think about it. You can't be shooting up malls and schools if you're out dancing. Nobody has eve shot up a nightclub or dance hall, right?

Elon’s X tweaked their algorithm for what looks like will soon be pretty obvious to everyone: Stop flooding the timeline with AI slop and engagement bait. The people who will benefit from this are those who are posting things others actually want to read, argue with, share, and think about for more than the half second that it takes to scroll past. Replies and RTs matter, but what matters even more now is time spent, in-network trust, and positive interaction. It’s what what mattered in the early internet: signal over noise. Start making real meaningful content. What are you changing about how you post?
Replying to @elonmusk
The goal of the 𝕏 algorithm is simple: show each user the content they are most likely to find interesting, limited only by the laws within a given jurisdiction. No thumb on the scale. Doesn’t mean we achieve the goal, but that is what I tell the team.

A cold dose of reality when it comes to the recent Appalachian lithium discovery. - Regulatory hurdles - Accessing the individual geographically disparate deposits - Newer sodium-ion batteries are better dailycaller.com/2026/05/06/t…
