Is AI a “good” therapist?
Is AI a better doctor than yours?
What are “bodily autonomy” and “libertarian biology”?
Will GLP-1s edit our psychology and society?
What is the “wellness-industrial complex”?

Well, nothing the orange fellow is doing is astonishing for him.
I think predictions will never catch tail risks. You do have to have a view. I think it is like sailing, you point yourself where you think land may be, but adjust your sails.
Or in the case of Trump, turn the fucking boat around.

My prediction for 2028 is that we have no way of knowing what 2028 looks like when less than three weeks of 2026 have been like this. Looking that far into the future is a fool’s errand.

Having compiled and run the web browser that Cursor built in a couple of weeks using mostly a giant fleet of coding agents I'm actually very impressed by it - there are rendering glitches but the renders it produces are surprisingly usable for a few-week-old project simonwillison.net/2026/Jan/19/...

Folks who know me know I think that that "democratic" AI is an important step for the world. While LLMs are made for profit by Silicon Valley, access will always be gated and privacy will always be at risk. I built one in 90 minutes "no-code" on an old gaming rig. open.substack.com/pub/thinkbig...

Not national security.
Not victims’ privacy.

Man. We on the left need to stand for tolerance and reason. The right has a shit ton of business billionaires throwing money and influence at politics. What Mark said shouldn't be treated as gospel, but we have a bad habit of going after our own. Disagreement is where progress lies bros and sisters.
The replies on here may not be as racist as Twitter, but they damn sure are hateful.
Talk AI: FU, AI sucks go away
Talk Business: Go away
Talk Healthcare: Crickets.
Engagement went from great convos on many topics, to agree with me or you are a nazi fascist
We are forcing posts to X

Mark is right. Bluesky’s not as racist as X, but it’s getting just as hateful.
We need to be smarter than the right (low bar) and less cruel (also low bar). I’m proudly left but if we can’t make space for disagreement, we lose the plot and the platform.
Read more care more.

AI Isn’t the enemy
I’ve seen AI help students learn two years of material in six weeks and catch deadly diseases where doctors are few and hope is thinner.
That’s dignity not dystopia.
I’m far-left. I’m not shilling for corporate America. Let us not give up on a future where AI serves people.

Some friends think supporting AI means you’ve sold out.
Nope. Like you, I believe in human dignity. Not because I trust the people who built it—but because I trust us to reclaim it.
Some of us are in it for justice.
If we step away, the worst people will shape the future alone.
