The House voted today on a new measure to fuse elements of the Israeli and US militaries, particularly on the cyberweapons front. Section 224, as its known, is included in the National Defense Authorization Act. Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., introduced an amendment to strip it from the bill. Watch as a stream of Republicans and Democrats stand up in support of the enhanced cooperation. Only Rep. Sarah Jacobs (D-Calif.) joined Khanna, and the measure failed in a voice vote. Watch:

@donalddhoffman Tripping on DMT is not an empirical measurement, and mistaking a chemically induced glitch in our brain for "external entities" is just bad science eg. a smudge in a telescope lens is not a new galaxy.

@VSA_TOE @donalddhoffman Absolutely! God, I wish these folks would put themselves through some rigorous questioning of their experiences…

Shout out to Katie Porter for engaging in the proud progressive tradition of staying in the race long past when she could actually win, splitting the vote, and handing the election to a centrist Democrat that takes money from oil companies

Whoever came up with term “A.I. slop” is a genius.

Search is full of ads and wrong answers. Every other email is an ad. Prime Video charges you and shows ads. Paramount? Ads. Peacock? YouTube? Hulu? Ads followed by more ads. Netflix full of ads. Meta and X, every other thing is an ad. Pinterest is nothing but ads. AI is in everything. AI finishes sentences incorrectly and won’t stop.

Oh sorry, your phone can’t handle this update. Now it’s useless. Go get the newest phone. Here’s a text from a friend, an email, a voice mail they left three days ago but you didn’t see until now because of sync problems with the cloud. It’s their GoFundMe. Their MLM. Their Patreon. Never mind, you didn’t respond to their text within 9 minutes and now you’re no longer friends. They blocked you. Make new friends. Download this app to find people in your area.

Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???

Ohio State University in-state tuition is ~$55,000 for four years. In 1970 it was $920, with inflation that would be $8,100 for four years.

Ask not how much a university paid for AI, ask how much equity in AI its trustees, president, and administrators own.

I dunno, I think some of the academics, such as the woman who posted the email, are pissed about losing their jobs so that students can access frontier models. But why look into something when you can just be surface-level asshole about it.

@caitoz She wanted to have me arrested. The police detained me--thankfully they looked at the footage and let me go. But Rep Luna keeps insisting I assaulted her!!! What a kook. A dangerous one.
