Ezra and Matt have both demonstrated their willingness to sacrifice freedoms that they believe that they and their children will not want for.
That's not liberalism. Pundicentricism? Willingly conceding critical issues to the right wing that will concede anything back?

still poleaxed by the idea that you could oppose birthright citizenship and still think of yourself as a liberal in any sense of the term.

maybe given the current political situation, finding things about which to say “the president has a point” is not only not a good look but actively bad and fucked up? Maybe maybe resist the impulse to say “well I agree with this chump” and find something else to talk about instead?

AI companies are like, “we’d love to make the Torment Nexus, but we can’t pull it off. We do a perfect rendition of the hateful little pervert who guards the door, and he comes with a built in revenue model, so we shipped that instead.”

I think the Netflix deal is ultimately better for movies and for WB than a Paramount deal (which I 100% believe would end WB) or a Comcast deal (which would take the two best-functioning studios in Hollywood and reduce them to one). I'm open to arguments, but "None of the above" isn't one.

as a grantwriter, the lack of unrestricted funding is a MASSIVE burden on nonprofits. everyone wants to fund a new shiny pilot program that makes them look like innovators. they don’t want to help make your tried and tested programs that have served the community for 50 years more sustainable
The headline I feel like is that all the philanthropic donations from billionaires typically have a shitload of restrictions.
Mackenzie is like “you’re doing work to stop something horrible or to help something good? Cool. Here’s a few hundred million.” and the paper is like “wow… so novel”

the AI stuff has given people a sort of (nonsensical) focal point for all their (justified) rage about everything from inequality to ecocide
and it's an enormous failure of leftist imagination to cede such a powerful form of computing and automation to the right

LLMs will only spend a few more years as the exclusive domain of the datacenter and the plutocrat. the history of computing is full of expensive processes that drop in price and come home

Tbh, the GPU’s get so hot that whenever I put a pineal gland on one, it just cooks right up. Turns out you can’t get divine inspiration from a sweetbread no matter how you sauce it.
a lot of agent flows fail because gpus lack pineal glands and therefore cannot experience divine grace

I'm going to highlight a few bands that have lit up my musical life recently. Pitchfork has never heard of any of them. If you listen to any of them, Apple will recommend the others to you. They share a similar lush sound and some tendency to hyper-verbality; several have songs on my all-time list.
