Ten years ago I went on a reading spree of the blog posts of the "neoreactionaries," which wordcount wise meant mostly Curtis Yarvin. Back then I thought they were nobodies and I just wanted to stop my libertarian friends from taking them at all seriously. Now a fan of them is on the GOP ticket.

they want and need everyone to believe that it is hopeless and that nothing matters and that nothing will ever get better, but, like, they’re wrong. they’re liars. they lie, depression lies, this whole thing is a fucking con to get you to think that submission is better than liberty.
these people cannot win and they know it, their entire schtick is pretending that the reich on the march will keep everyone quiet and scared, but, again, we do not have to believe them, and if we do not, they lose.

WTF. The electric company in Texas doesn't have a map of outages so people have been using the Whataburger App to figure out who lost power. This is like when Homer was using the Krusty Burger map when they got lost at sea.

Just found out about a massive data leak at Twitter/X. I don't use it anymore but I keep my account alive so no one else can claim my username. I just changed my password and suggest others do too. Also use 2FA whenever you can. More: cyberpress.org/9-4gb-twitte...

I can't stress enough the benefits of networking with your neighbors. Last night a neighbor who is terrified of bugs posted for help late at night (on our building chat) with extricating a giant grasshopper from their flat and the neighbors came through!

I also feel bad for the “generative art” community, which has to endlessly explain that they use math and deterministic algorithms to generate patterns and it’s not at all related to genAI.

It'd have been so cool to train a tiny, light and cheap CNN classifier for kiki/bouba instead of being an OpenAI consumer.

Good idea: have government 51% attack bitcoin. Reject all blocks not mined in the US. Watch bitcoin value go to 0.

Please stop referring to Telegram as an "encrypted app" that is somehow equivalent to Signal. All Signal messages are end-to-end encrypted by default. The only end-to-end encrypted messages on Telegram are one-to-one messages where you have specifically turned end-to-end encryption on.

California Senate just passed a troubling AI bill that harms open-source, based on the erroneous presumption that model makers can prevent any bad actor for doing any bad act with any program, as if Gutenberg could have prevented Luther. This is what happens when legislators listen to AI doomers.

EXPLICITLY ANTIFASCIST METAL BANDS THREAD It's going around that you can't be into heavy metal and listen to non-sketch artists, but that is absolutely not true. So I thought I'd share some of my favourite metal made by non shitheads🧵
