The sad fact that Okies get effed over by Republicans for decades (and then blame Democrats who haven’t been in power for decades) but still keep voting Republican befuddles the F outta me. 🤷‍♂️

[Evan Hubinger @EvanHub]

Jacob is correct here—we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to.

[Jacob Coxon @hilbertspaess]

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

$4,000 per year per American.

That’s how much interest we are paying on the debt to banks & foreign countries every year.

A family of four owes $16,000 per year for nothing but interest on the debt!

I lost my re-election because I voted against the policies that caused this.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

There’s a part of Jon Ossoff’s Atlanta rally everyone missed, and it may have been the most powerful moment of the entire night.

“I’ve got two little girls at home. Eva’s four and Lila’s one… But this isn’t the world I want to leave them.”

Then he put America’s broken priorities into one devastating sentence:

“We’ve amassed enough firepower to end the world a thousand times over, but we can’t summon the will to guarantee health care and pre-K.”

And then came the line every parent will feel in their bones:

“When Eva’s old enough to ask me why I let this happen, I’m determined to answer truthfully…

THAT I DIDN’T.”

🔥🔥🔥

This is the entire damn fight.

@ClaudetteGGibs1 Yep…I have seen it a lot in my field…they also state, “I don’t want any of that MRNA!” Ummmmm, OK…lol

The whole “Muslims want to impose their religion on America” thing would work so much better if it weren’t coming from white Christian nationalists who want to put a Bible in every classroom.

WELKER: Some Americans worry you can only make Medicare free and universal if you increase taxes. Would you need to do that?

EL-SAYED: Imagine if instead of paying that to your health insurance company, whose CEO makes $20m a year, instead you paid a little bit more in taxes for healthcare that you wouldn't lose. I think all of us would a lot more interested in that kind of system if we knew our healthcare would be free at the point of care.

[CR Sanchez @crsanchezx]

Mis padres le adelantaron la herencia a mi hermana: la entrada de su piso, 60.000 €. A mí, nada. "Tú ya te las apañas bien solo". Mi padre lo dijo así, con esas palabras, en la comida del domingo, delante de todos. No protesté. Respondí una frase que mi madre todavía repite...

I made dinner for my abuser a bunch of times. You have to play nice while you're planning your escape so you don't get dead. Max Miller is a textbook abuser.

It’s time to change your news source if you don’t know:

1. Trump’s Capital One accounts were frozen due to money laundering suspicions

2. The DOJ admitted the reflecting pool was not vandalized

3. The SAVE Act is NOT a voter ID bill

4. Cyclosporiasis and measles are on the rise

5. Democratic socialism is NOT communism

[Wil Garou (Loopy) @LoopyRGarou]

One thing about socialist democracies with regulated markets and fair taxes:

[‏ً @itsnwts]

Women
- are 51% of the population
- but 60% of the poor
- and 83% of single parents
- doing 66% of the work
- producing 50% of the food
- but earn just 11% of the pay
- and own only 20% of the land.
- All while giving birth to 100% of the population.

Just in case you wondered why we still need feminism.

[ADAM @adamemedia]

The Trump crime family sued Capital One for shutting down 300 Trump bank accounts saying it’s was because of politics.

Capital One just replied, it was actually because of a money laundering review…

This should be much bigger news.

“I’m not into politics!”

Well those “gummies” you like and were legal on July 30th became a felony on July 31st. That’s politics being into you.

I voted against the full THC ban during session in favor of regulations.
