LITERALLY STORMFRONT WAS OPENLY INVOLVED FROM THE FIRST MONTH and people acted like I was being hyperbolic and nagged me not to “godwins law”
It's wild to me that, even before all this, we had on record Bannon saying something along the lines of "we're going to use gamergate to turn kids into Nazis" and barely anyone flinched

Cursor vibe coded a web browser with GPT-5.2. They released the millions of lines of code. It didn't compile. It used major browser components coded by humans. The vibe coded sections were a mess. pivot-to-ai.com/2026/01/27/c...

In Neil Gaiman’s “I did nothing wrong ever” statement he says there’s been no good journalism about him or his assaults. There has been, of course.

Thing is, he said the same thing in 2018 when @moryan.bsky.social reported on issues behind the scenes on American Gods www.moryan.com/a-burn-it-do...

Opposition to data centers appears to be an issue that can bring a bunch of different people together. Let's do it! Broad coalitions are needed to take on oligarchs.
I'm in Arkansas, and the response to data centers here has been enlightening. Too many people got burned by crypto miners dumping a shipping container full of servers running 24/7 in their backyard, and now they want blood. It's a very broad coalition of people.
4. I’ve spent some time tracking and attending local populist responses to ai data centers. Despite some critiques from left that it’s all repackaged “nimby bullshit” (as I’ve been told), I have seen organic multiracial coalitions on this issue. Esp. in places with strong environmental racism orgs

My favorite part of the dawn of the Internet was how they had to keep coming around, breaking into our houses, and hiding modems in our homes because no one actually wanted it.

Did an episode with @davidgerard.co.uk that goes out tomorrow about Clawdbot/openclaw/whatever that crap is. It’s more LLM bullshit that the media is scarfing down because some people made a fake social network for LLMs to post to. Nobody will care about this in a few months

Open AI (Chat GPT) verbrennt solche unglaublichen Mengen Geld, dass es nur eine Frage der Zeit sei, wann die Blase platzt. Dann wird es schlimmer als 2007/08.

Für die Jüngeren: damals glaubten auch Befürworter tatsächlich für einige Wochen, der Kapitalismus sei am Ende und stehe nicht mehr auf.

The Great Financial Crisis was papered over by increasing the money supply and lowering interest rates. Then COVID made the music stop by making inflation real and noticeable.

The job losses are real — but the AI excuse is fake
Both of these statements are true: Across the whole US economy, there’s not really a visible effect of AI on hiring and job mix; Some sectors are absolutely devastated directly by AI. But also: Nobody cares if it was technically AI or not that took their job; The wider economy is visibly screwed already. Even […]
