“Senate Democrats may think they are fighting to position themselves for crossover votes in the midterm elections, but they are actually in a battle for self-government itself — for democratic freedom and the rule of law.”

They’ll be the last to get it.

ner experience of texting with vesus. Here s everytning she shared. What is Text With Jesus? Text With Jesus offers users an interactive experience with a religious deity. In other words, us s can text questions to Jesus and get a response. (Premium users can also converse with Satan.) While testing the app, Thompson was curious to ask Jesus why bad things happen to good people.

Oh fuck yes nobody under about 45 understands this at all and I love my millennial friends and their earnestness and openness and wry humor but the pro-corporatist ironic-but-not lack of ethics is so bizarre to me. Like…no synths!

Tomorrow: Volume 2 of The Hater's Guide To The AI Bubble, a premium 12,000+ word guide to every major AI player, neocloud, and hyperscaler dicking around with AI. It is one of the rudest things I've ever written. Here's $10 off annual.

When all of this collapses there will, I guarantee, be multiple startups that have outright lied to the media, and done so, in some cases, in ways that are equal parts obvious and brazen. My own work has received significantly more skepticism than OpenAI or Anthropic, two companies worth alleged billions of dollars that appear to change their story with an aloof confidence borne of the knowledge that nobody read or thought too deeply about what it is that their CEOs have to say, other than “wow, Anthropic said a new number!” So I’m going to do my best to write about every single major AI company in one go. I am going to pull together everything I can find and give a frank evaluation of what they do, where they stand, their revenues, their funding situation, and, well, however else I feel about them. And honestly, I think we’re approaching the end. The Information recently published one of the grimmest quotes I’ve seen in the bubble so far: Some researchers are trying to take advantage of high investor interest in AI. They have told some investors that growing concerns regarding the costs and benefits of AI have prompted them to raise a lot of money now rather than wait and risk a shift in the capital markets, according to people who talked with them. Hey, what was that? What was that about “growing concerns regarding the costs and benefits of AI”? What “capital shift”? The fucking companies are telling you, to your face, that they know there’s not a sustainable business model or great use case, and you are printing it and giving it the god damn thumbs up. How can you not be a hater at this point? This industry is loathsome, its products ranging useless to niche at best, its costs unsustainable and its futures full of fire and brimstone. This is the Hater’s Guide To The AI Bubble Volume 2 - a premium sequel to the Hater’s Guide from earlier this year - where I will finally bring some clarity to a hype cycle that has yet to prove its worth, breaking down indu…

Also most voters have just never thought remotely seriously about policy. “Should we get rid of illegal immigrants? Well, of course; they’re illegal!” There’s nothing deeper than that going on until they start seeing what that actually entails.

Some Dems and pundits overread the significance of Trump's win. They looked at dissatisfaction with the border and discerned a seismic cultural reaction to immigration levels inside the country. The former was real. The latter is a mirage.

The AI bubble is annoyingly like the internet bubble. Online pet food and grocery delivery were terrible businesses in 2001, but they aren't today.

Internet companies are now worth trillions and it did change everything. Many just spent too much too soon and made the right bet at the wrong time.

Read the Epstein Emails Alleging Trump Knew of His Activities
Emails sent by Jeffrey Epstein suggest Donald Trump was aware of the late sex trafficker’s activities. The messages, released Wednesday by House Democrats, also appear to allege that the president spent hours in a house with one of Epstein’s victims.
