Is there a website that tracks every California billionaire (who built their entire career inside the state and benefited immensely from it) who moved to Florida or Texas because CA passed a modest new tax on the ultra, ultra wealthy to help pay their share for the state that made them rich?

Chief Justice John Roberts—who helped Bush steal the 2000 election, helped gut voting rights in 2013, helped gut reproductive rights in 2022, enabled overt SCOTUS corruption, and gave Donald Trump near unlimited immunity—is now shocked that the fascist he gave unlimited immunity to is lashing out at him for not giving him even more power, and stated on Tuesday "personally directed hostility is dangerous, and it's got to stop."

This problem -- the RW takeover of media -- is like fucking Voldemort or something. He Who Cannot Be Named. People seem to think they'll burst into flame if they discuss it. It's baffling. I've accepted that I'm going to live & die without ever understanding why this is.

I know I've said this a trillion times but I have to say it periodically to keep from going insane: The right ran a huge, well-funded, & ultimately successful campaign to completely take over political media & the infosphere more generally. This is by far the most important political development...

I have been working on #Obsidian Reader for over a year. I didn't want to share it until I felt it was good enough. It's finally there.

Consistent formatting for any article. Outline, syntax highlighting, nice footnotes, adjustable typography.

Runs locally. Just rules, no AI.

Received ANOTHER phishing attempt via phone call, from some guy pretending to be from my bank. It's kinda fun to fuck with them a little though just to hear what they can come with on-the-fly. The guy was saying something about a fraud transaction in the metaverse at some point, lol. Then when I asked him for his name, he said that his name "was" so-and-so, not "is"... c'mon man, get your shit together!

When they started to ask for PI, I told them that I was gonna call back the bank and confirm that the call was legit. He didn't like that and was trying SO hard to keep me on the line lmao. Anyway, called up my bank and they told me it was fraud and that they've noticed a recent uptick in fraud calls, so keep an eye out y'all 😉

I am so glad these are back in stock. At $400 for a prebuilt, this is … well out of the price range of "buy one in case I need a backup for my existing, working keyboard" but if you're in the market for a split, staggered, programmable, low-profile mechanical keyboard, this is kinda the only game in town right now and as a user of its predecessor (the cepstrum) I recommend Keebio extremely highly

I just...what the fuck is happening? How is Anthropic controlling the narrative so well? Even considering that some influencers are getting paid, the sheer consistency is astounding

fromjason ("fromjason.xyz ❤️ 💻 ✍️ 🥐 🇵🇷") wrote:

Search Engine starts thr episode with a disclaimer—Anthropic is an advertiser but they don't get a say in production.

Which, sure. Fine.

But then they repeat Anthropic's story, the story they've been telling the press for months, beat for beat—the "study" that showed it's AI "knew" it was being tested. That they don't know how it works and it's scary and blah blah.

Search Engine doesn't bother to mention that Anthropic has been criticized by experts for these studies and their claims.

Back in January I was looking around for some positive "pro-AI" analysis of the ethics of the problem <https://mastodon.social/@glyph/115908558259725802> and it looks like I finally got what I wanted: <https://types.pl/@wilbowma/116247527449271232>

I definitely don't think I'm fully convinced, but there's more than enough here to sit with for a while and consider. It's such a relief that someone is taking the ethical question *seriously* though.

By ignoring the "master" part in the quote it is reduced to something one can cutesily brush aside: But it's not about appropriating someone's screwdriver. It's about whether you think you can appropriate his torture device.

Audre Lorde's "The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house." is not just a statement about a tool being tainted by its origin. It's about what kind of tool a "master" would create: Whips. Chains. Violent suppression.

That's the meaning: You cannot just take tools whose purpose and politics is dominance and violence and "make them liberatory". This goes deeper than "just" embedded politics or lofty talks about ethics, it comes down to what kind of relations you believe do and should and must not structure the world.
