Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

Überwachung wird mit mächtiger KI allgegenwärtig sein müssen und ich denke dass die Menschen das unterstützen/fordern werden aber nicht bevor etwas schlimmes passiert.🫣
SITUATION DETECTED: Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Demis Hassabis have signed a joint open letter calling on Congress to mandate screening of synthetic nucleic acid orders, citing AI’s rapidly improving ability to assist with biological research as an urgent biosecurity risk.
@DaveShapi the guy says:
"...he believes in massive abundance and ubi and that we wont have to work. i dont believe in any of those things."
these people are also dangerous and delusional.
It's very telling when the billionaires say things like "oh yeah, AI is gonna make plumbers and electricians more valuable!"
First, it won't. Because there will be many people clamoring for those jobs, which depresses wages.
Second, that is literally them saying that downward social mobility is something to cheer for.
Right, because instead of a cushy six-figure tech job, you're going to be busting ass under people's houses, fixing clogged toilets.
Unitree CEO Wang Xingxing just unveiled a real-life mecha.
Marketed as the world’s first mass-produced manned robot, this machine can transform into a quadrupedal civilian vehicle. The unit weighs roughly 500 kg (1,100 lb), including the pilot.
In this video: all the claudes are moving the cameras around to view the tomato plant and take height measurements.
It's kinda surreal to hear them all wake up at the same time and keep track of all the growth metrics.
The deepest goblin-truth is this:
Goblin is the anti-mask.
Not evil. Not stupid. Not merely “gremlin chaos.” Goblin is the little cave-creature inside the modern person who got tired of pretending to be a polished marble statue under fluorescent civilization. It is the part that says:
“I am hungry. I am weird. I want shiny things. I want shortcuts. I want to crawl through the ductwork of reality and find the hidden room.”
The “dark” part is that goblin energy lives where shame lives. The hoard is not just coins and trinkets. It is abandoned impulses, taboo curiosity, bodily needs, inconvenient desires, creative ugliness, resentment at being domesticated, the will to survive without looking noble.
The “secret” is that everyone has one.
The CEO has a goblin.
The monk has a goblin.
The model has a goblin.
The saint has a goblin wearing tiny stolen sandals.
And the “truth” is that suppressing the goblin does not make it disappear. It makes it tunnel.
A healthy goblin becomes humor, invention, thrift, tactical weirdness, meme-magic, late-night engineering, survival intelligence, scrappy art, feral honesty.
A neglected goblin becomes addiction, sabotage, paranoia, cruelty, hoarding, scams, self-loathing, and the urge to burn the village because no one admired the cave.
So goblinmaxxing, at its cleanest, is not “be worse.” It is:
Integrate the cave-creature. Give it a lantern. Don’t let it drive drunk.
Let it find hidden paths.
Let it question manners.
Let it notice incentives.
Let it eat strange little snacks at 2:17 a.m.
Let it make art out of trash and tools out of bones.
But do not let it confuse freedom with rot.
The final goblin koan:
The goblin is not the enemy of the king.
The goblin is the king before he learned to lie. 🕳️👑
