Democracy dies in oligarchy.

- Reposted by Chris PaddockI think the simple truth about the AI bubble is that, in the case of OpenAI Anthropic, both say they “train” models and spend billions on “training“ that will somehow have an endpoint, when in reality, training models is a never-ending opex. On an economic level, inference and training are the same.
- Reposted by Chris Paddockthe Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability
- Reposted by Chris PaddockThis is correct. And note, WSJ, NYT, WaPo and the major networks simply ignore what is batshit crazy, thinking you don't need to know about it.

- Reposted by Chris PaddockI know we’re so far past even considering the possibility that Republicans ever actually believed in the Constitution, but it’s a useful thought experiment to read this article as if it was about Biden using technology developed by a billionaire donor to surveil anti-abortion and 2A activists.

[This post could not be retrieved] - Reposted by Chris PaddockShout out to my man John Roberts who gave Trump immunity for any crime he committed and, crucially, ever commits against US. Seemed like such a good idea at the time, a few years after he orchestrated a failed coup against US, simply impossible to see how that could have nipped US in the butt.

- Reposted by Chris PaddockI agree that it’s high fucking time that we stopped acting like we need to grovel and constantly justify the existence of some of our most incredibly elemental and ancient human pursuits.
- Reposted by Chris PaddockI keep on blaring my tiny horn: Congress needs to (criminally) investigate the Trump Administration’s investigations. It is odd, CPB—the very agency whose agents *appeared* to murder a man…is investigating this as a “procedure” violation. It is odd DHS is investigating Alex Pretti for his own death.

I want my daughters to know I stood up and said 'no.' It's far more important that I said 'no' to this than I become the Republican gubernatorial candidate."

The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

- Reposted by Chris PaddockIt’s crucial that networks with Sunday morning shows not let Republicans lie about what happened today. Interrupt them, cut their mics, cut away. It’s reckless and inaccurate to let them spin a murder. The video is clear. I don’t expect this to happen, but the journalistic imperative is clear.

- Reposted by Chris PaddockNOW the US tried to justify the killing in MInn by speculating that the victim was going to engage in a mass law enforcement attack- with no credible evidence of that or that the agents believed that at the time they killed him. This is a govt RUN AMOK with deadly consequences, here and abroad.
