In many ways, the transcendent rhetoric of the AI innovators is far more dangerous than the AI technology itself.

[Larry Sanger @lsanger]

If these comments are fair—
Theorist-strategists at Anthropic (which makes Claude) fancy they are making god-like overlords for us, for a new millennial golden age.

We are all guessing how this will play out; but there will only ever be one God.

I’m here for the “people need to learn/relearn how to budget wisely” plus “you shouldn’t have to take out a second mortgage to eat at a restaurant” crowd.

Addendum: I do acknowledge that video games can be highly addictive and can often stunt the growth and maturity of young men. This should not, however, be a veneer for passing judgment on entire swath of people who consider it an occasional and worthwhile hobby.

[Stephen Maiorana @SuitcaseSteve]

Video games let me bond over Mario Kart with my young kids. This app often gets me annoyed and irritable, which can carry over into interactions with my family. So take it with grain of salt when social media pundits try to tell you which is the bigger waste of time.

[John Reasnor @johnandrewwords]

This app is often far less profitable than some video games.

[Stephen Maiorana @SuitcaseSteve]

@teddmjordan They keep playing like this, and you’ll be rooting for them end of next week.

Wheeler, Sanchez, Luzardo, and even Nola showing what it means to have a team of ace starting pitchers.

@Phillies FINALLY

[Stephen Maiorana @SuitcaseSteve]

Some folks have been raving about it, but the hype is warranted. This interview between Ross Douthat and Ben Sasse is phenomenal, moving, deep, reflective, gracious, and something you should definitely listen to: https://t.co/keKVDo3NAX

[Stephen Maiorana @SuitcaseSteve]

Them Phillies giving me hope for the rest of the season.

[Stephen Maiorana @SuitcaseSteve]

Thank you, Philadelphia, for raising the bar where it really matters 🫡

This is the official ‘Longest Line of Cheesesteaks.'

The new world record was accomplished today at the Philadelphia International Airport.

[Stephen Maiorana @SuitcaseSteve]

Travel a few states out and folks never heard of water ice and don’t understand why oregano belongs on a sandwich. Insanity!

[Dan El Captain @Mrstanleycup]

The four major food groups in Philly: Pretzels, hoagies, cheesesteaks, and water ice. Philly doesn’t just have food, it has institutions. There’s nowhere else in America that tastes like this city.

@teddmjordan @Creed_Thoughts2 I mean, Pam is the obvious answer. But to quote Creed: “Which one is Pam?”

[Stephen Maiorana @SuitcaseSteve]

One big wedge against the fear of AI taking our jobs is to develop soft skills. AI will never replace real human interaction, leadership, emotion, and complexity. Spend less time on the phone and more time actually talking to people.

[Stephen Maiorana @SuitcaseSteve]

iOS 26 is fine. MacOS Tahoe is fine. Liquid Glass is fine. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

[Stephen Maiorana @SuitcaseSteve]

@Digitalliturgy @WSJFreeEx I agree we need to kill the misunderstood villain trope. I disagree w/r/t Stranger Things. S5 started going that direction, but the finale made it clear that Henry/Vecna willingly chose the path of evil and did get his comeuppance. I say this as someone mixed on S5 as a whole.

[Stephen Maiorana @SuitcaseSteve]

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

[Stephen Maiorana @SuitcaseSteve]

That was the worst.

[Stephen Maiorana @SuitcaseSteve]

THIS GAME IS TOO STRESSFUL

[Stephen Maiorana @SuitcaseSteve]

Alright, let’s tie it up tonight Phils. We’re not off the hook yet.

[Stephen Maiorana @SuitcaseSteve]

Not a good weekend for Philly sports. We need to get a win tomorrow.
