This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.

Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”

Really listen to it.

Either way, remember that @theguardian.com is in partnership in OpenAI, and has since published a lot of articles seeking to minimize anxiety or critique of the technology

I keep talking about how Marty Supreme looks like the worst movie ever and my partner keeps saying “that film is not for us.” It barely helps.

LLMs give people with delusional belief systems a way to organise those beliefs. The model fills in gaps, supplies connective tissue, and wraps the madness in formal language.
It doesn't make the claims more credible to us, it just tidies them up.

Most folks probably recognize that Intuit also donated $1M to Trump's inauguration, which might've had something to do with the administration's recent closure of Direct File, a free tax-filing service created by 18F and USDS — the highly skilled, productive gov't org's eviscerated by DOGE

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Over a third of the old internet no longer exists, 87% of all video games before 2009 are lost media, 40% of the Million Dollar Homepage was dead links as of 2019, etc.

*And* this media void is being filled with mindboggling quantities of ai slop.

I split AI into 3 non-mutually exclusive types (see Table 1 above): displacement (harmful), enhancement (beneficial), and/or replacement (neutral) of human cognitive labour. More later possibly, but see Tables 2 to 4 (attached or here: arxiv.org/pdf/2507.19960) for the worked through examples. 2/n
