We’ve created the self-regarding allegedly erudite child-molesting monsters from Vladimir Nabokov’s novel “Don’t Create The Self-Regarding Allegedly Erudite Child-Molesting Monster”
Not going to repost the images, but the first few feature the first paragraph of Lolita written in ink on the skin of a woman (or girl, impossible to tell)
See the newly released photos here: www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/cl62l...

there is a perfect hyperdimensional jewel made of every word a human being has ever written, and all the correspondences between those words. people mostly use it to get insane household repair tips or jerk off. i guess it basically runs the government now

Yes, they were actually tracking satan, as they normally do.
It all started in 1955 with a misprint in a Colorado newspaper and a call to Col. Harry Shoup's secret military hotline. Shoup played along with the tiny voice who called, and a tradition was born. From the NPR archives.
NORAD's Santa Tracker began with a typo and a good sport

This is a beautiful nation
Spotted a 60-something man on the beach reading Olivia Nuzzi’s “American Canto.” His wife is nearby. She has Mar-a-Lago face and is wearing a trucker hat that says “Sun. Yoga. Champagne.” She’s been watching a live cam feed of her front door on a comically large tablet for the last 20 minutes.

“Politicians should do what wins elections” is asinine for moral reasons but also, no one knows what will win an election! Yglesias et al keep acting like there’s some obvious set of policies or words that will guarantee victory but Harris basically did what they wanted and she lost.
4. Yglesias instead seems to implicitly argue that politicians should only do what wins elections, virtue be damned. One wonders what he thinks of those foolish 1850s abolitionists. As Condleeza Rice once said, politics is the art of making the impossible inevitable. That ain't this.

"russia decides to launch a war on the rest of europe" would be a great bit because the day that happens Europe financial markets nuke the Russian economy from orbit
You dont need rumours of US intelligence for this stuff. He literally says that he wants this. also every country on the border knows this.
But also, Russia literally doesnt have the capacity for this

imo the actual threat to capital-A America is not the Trump administration but that the Trump administration's behaviors will not be disincentivized enough
flip-flopping back and forth between breaking things and fixing things every 4-8 years means eventually it'll stay broken

Stuff like this will obviously be very easy to undo and clearly will be undone, like it would be totally non-controversial even with the most milquetoast new Dem POTUS you could imagine, but it is genuinely just Not Good when even the basic names of institutions start ping ponging every 4-8 years

Of all the sins of AI, this is an unexpected and deeply annoying one
Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.
