People detained at Alligator Alcatraz have had to remove fecal matter from the toilets with their bare hands because the toilets lose pressure due to lack of water. That’s the sort of depraved conditions that drove those in detention there to ten days of hunger strike so far.

As usual Bill Burr doesn’t miss 🎯

The US economy, once the envy of the world, quickly ground to a halt in a matter of months after Trump took office. It was a predictable outcome, as economists and experts had warned that enacting broad tariffs would lead to job losses and increased inflation. What is shocking

UPDATE: The AI didn’t just ghost your resume. It discriminated. A federal judge just ordered Workday to hand over a full list of employers that used AI to rank job applicants. Not just their tech… but every company that enabled HiredScore. And now it’s evidence. 🧵👇

Stay loud about your feelings on generative AI, it works.

FINALLY

This new paper suggests AI music models are memorizing music they're trained on. Using phonetic substitutions in the lyrics, they get music that sounds strikingly similar to well-known songs. e.g. Lose Yourself, from Suno (with no genre specified by the user) 🧵 1/n

"AI seems to know everything—until it’s a topic where you have first-hand knowledge." *keeps tapping the sign* Before you start asking AI questions, ask it about a topic you're very knowledgeable or an expert in it and watch how fast the illusion breaks.

STOP USING GENERATIVE AI.

The AI boom makes a lot more sense once you understand that silicon valley has so much money that they’ve literally run out of things to buy on planet Earth. So now they have to constantly come up with new things to spend it on like AI and going to Mars.

Disruptive tech operating at a loss is part of the business model. They destroy competition who need to follow regulations & standardized pricing models. VCs, CEOs & fanboys, promise innovation & progress. They then jack up prices & reduce quality & costs once people are stuck.

I’m a psychiatrist. In 2025, I’ve seen 12 people hospitalized after losing touch with reality because of AI. Online, I’m seeing the same pattern. Here’s what “AI psychosis” looks like, and why it’s spreading fast: 🧵

This is Showrunner AI, a startup that just a few weeks ago got Amazon funding to become the “Netflix of AI” as reported by Forbes, Business Insider, NBC News and so on. No news outlets spoke at all about the data used by Showrunner. Well after some digging here it is 👇

This is sad. New video shows FBI, MPD, and DEA agents patrolling the streets of the Georgetown neighborhoods of Washington, DC, like it’s some kind of war zone. This isn’t a “crime emergency” — it’s pure political theater by Trump.

Do not take any health and fitness advice from ChatGPT or any other Large Language Models. Information on them is riddled with inaccuracy.

Republicans for an economy entirely subject to the arbitrary rule of an autocratic ruler. Compared to this nightmare vision, even the bleak impoverished drudgery of socialism would feel like human freedom.

ICE detained a Trump voter—now he's suing. Says he was "brainwashed" & "manipulated" by Trump into voting for him. "Feels guilty" about his vote—after he was arrested himself in June. Now he has joined a lawsuit to stop racial profiling by ICE agents—when a person's ethnicity

Sarah Shaw has a legal visa. Her 6-year-old son has a legal visa. She was driving back home, to Washington state, after dropping off her other two sons at the Vancouver airport. ICE threw her and her youngest son in an unmarked van and sent them to a detention center in Texas,

LLMs are not like you and me—and never will be. @garymarcus explains that human knowledge is organized by the Kantian frameworks of space, time, causality, and matter (a major theme of my book The Stuff of Thought). LLMs approximate human intelligence in remarkable ways, but
