At the Bernie-Bannon AI hysteria conference, they allowed a heretical voice on stage—who happens to be one of the smartest & most accomplished technologists on Earth.
Jaron Lanier explained the origins of the problem—Minsky et al. anthropomorphizing AI because it sold well.
The problem begins with calling it artificial *intelligence* far before you could plausibly argue that it was.
Jaron calmly explains how the industry is now essentially a religion focused on building a machine god instead of tools for humans.
For example, he says “agents” used to mean agents of humans—but now the industry switched it to “agentic AI” which makes loops of prompts sound like they have motivation or sentience.
This is really worth watching. Jaron is a legitimate genius.

Trump, or maybe Natalie, had a brainfart and either didn’t check or didn’t care that this is just nonsense.
BREAKING: President Trump says he is going to fill up the US Strategic Oil Reserve with Venezuelan oil.
Trump says the “topping out” process will begin very shortly and is a “gift” from Venezuela to the US.

As a reminder, Sam Altman was a conman whose fake startup got bailed out by Peter Thiel because he saw Sam’s talent for lying and set him up to run Open AI.
When normies actually interact with Sam, they sense his malignant narcissism. If they don’t see massive upside, they bail.
The only people who see massive upside in OpenAI at this point are the people who get paid to.

🚨BREAKING: OpenAI head of Preparedness just quit in less than 6 months
The deeper Trump declines into a delusionally disordered state, fed by Natalie's blond falsities, the more the media's normalization of him irks me. They constantly ask, rhetorically or otherwise, what he's thinking. HEY! He no longer thinks. He craves. View him through his disorders. They are now all he is.

Saying it’s antisemitic to criticize Israel’s government IS antisemitism because it conflates all Jews with an ongoing genocide most had nothing to do with.
My grandparents were treated like Israel is treating Palestinians when they were forced out of their homeland in Russia’s pogroms over a century ago.
Enabling it to happen again, inside Israel, should be a red line for everyone. End of story.
The furor over an edgelord Twitch streamer, and the sudden obsession of certain people with accusing liberals of antisemitism is psychological warfare designed to prop up a failed project between Bibi and Trump to take over Iran, and turn Gaza into a resort. It is about dividing Democrats before the midterms.
Trump and Bibi are both criminal psychopaths. Anyone who refuses to recognize that obvious fact is not residing in the objective world. They are selling you their alternate reality.

This is a military psyop account, deployed anonymously like “Data Republican” to cover up for Pete Hegseth’s destruction in the Pentagon—and the fact that Pete bumblefucked his holy war with Iran so badly, he made them a regional hegemon.
This is both illegal and pathetic.

This is a false, defamatory statement from a member of Pete Hegseth’s team.
Would add: I am grateful to live in the United States, where a relentless and free press fills in the gaps around the talking points of politicians with verified facts that help inform the electorate.

BREAKING: President Trump posts a screenshot of our August 11th post regarding his reported capital gains tax cut discussions, including "indexing" capital gains for inflation before taxes are calculated.
It appears President Trump is actively considering capital gains tax cuts.

Donald Trump is watching TV this morning and saw numbers which dealt a severe blow to his ego. This generated a bout of narcissistic rage directed at the source of his injury: “THE CROOKED MEDIA.”
His solution to all painful information is to destroy it. So he snaps his fingers and mentally eliminates it.
The fact that he actually dictated “FCC TO THE RESCUE” to Natalie Harp is a symptom of his cognitive and narcissistic collapse. He has no ability to recognize that he’s confessing to crimes, or that this might in any way backfire.
He is psychotic—not as a pejorative, as a real description of his mental state. He lives in an alternate reality that cannot coexist with the real world. His post is the storm front between his delusions and objective reality.

Donald Trump is psychotic. This is not an insult. He has literally lost his connection to the objective world. He has collapsed into himself, and he has taken his regime, and his nation, with him.

I wrote this a few days after Trump suddenly sent warships to Venezuela—which was the last day of the Trump-Putin “summit” in Alaska.
What if the “deal” Trump made was that Putin would let Trump take Venezuela’s oil in exchange for Ukraine? How would things look any different?

Not enough reporters are asking the question: Why the hell did Donald Trump send three warships and 4,000 troops to Venezuela?
You may not be shocked to learn the answer is Pete Hegseth’s pal, international terrorist Erik Prince—who has a new Blackwater.

“Putting this deviant psycho in charge of health is a crime against humanity all by itself. “
FTR: RFK Jr. is a eugenicist mass killer who is DELIBERATELY infecting people with deadly diseases because he believes in social darwinism. He thinks old people should die because they’re useless eaters. He is messianic narcissist who thinks he’s purifying the population.
No, really. He wants millions dead.
Putting this deviant psycho in charge of health is a crime against humanity all by itself. He’s killing countless thousands of people right now. If there’s another pandemic we are dead in the water. If there were ever a reason for capital punishment, it’s this animal.

Gosh you’re so close to getting it.
Donald Trump is a malignant narcissist who is dying from frontotemporal dementia. The parts of his brain which control decision-making, judgement, and social interactions are just tangled clots now.
He has no ability to form rational plans because he is actually psychotic and lives in an alternate reality generated by his own delusions and Natalie Harp.
He does not “troll.” It’s not an act. He is an extremely sick man trying to keep his messianic ego intact. He has lost the ability to bullshit through life, because he has no contact with the objective world. He really thinks the Strait is “open.”
He is not in the “early stages” of decline. He’s half a vegetable with the nuclear codes. He is an existential danger to the planet.
Hope it helps.

Many of my Republican friends believe the President is in the early stages of cognitive decline based on his erratic behavior.
It's extremely hard to tell where the trolling ends and the cognitive decline begins — which is actually tremendously concerning, since we have 28 months left to navigate.
Objectively, an 80+ year old starting wars in the Middle East while engaging in a trade war with the most docile, kind ally we have (Canada) is really confounding.

John Konrad, a shipping analyst with a hundred fifty five thousand X followers, says he got far enough along toward becoming a Pentagon special government employee that he sold his stock portfolio to satisfy ethics requirements, then says he was ghosted by the administration before it went through. He was in the room for the first briefing of Hegseth's overhauled press corps. When Pounds's Pentagon job surfaced, Konrad wrote that if she is getting paid, good for her.
The relationships differ, but the ecosystem is real. Thomas Anderson, the retired colonel known as Cynical Publius with three hundred twenty-three thousand followers, declined to answer when a Washington Post reporter asked directly whether he holds SGE status like Pounds did. Adam D'Ortona is a different case entirely: an active-duty lieutenant colonel already known to work in Hegseth's orbit, running a partisan account with over a hundred thousand followers, and the Pentagon will not say what his role is or how it relates to DoD rules against partisan political activity by active-duty officers.
