If you do not see this man, and his peers, as cult leaders, you are a fool. They are playing all angles simultaneously—doomsday cult, healing miracles cult, secret knowledge cult, messianic cult—and it’s been effective.
Dario Amodei says cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and mental illness will be relics of the past in less than a decade, and that "we can create an age of miracles"
“You know, if today we look at things like cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, mental illness, these will be I think, less than a decade."
"And I believe that the company which gets the risks right will also be the company that has the license to operate that society trusts and society believes can build the benefits in the right way."
"I think if we do this right, we can create an age of miracles where humanity is able to solve problems that have eluded us for millennia."
"We have to make sure that all the risks, all the ways that things can go wrong with this technology, we very carefully address those risks as we bring the benefits, and as we have a viable business at the same time.”

There needs to be a drastic intervention in tenant movement here to get away from the de-commodification language which is so vague as to encompass public-private subsidies for “land trusts” and “affordable housing” non-profits. We want EXPROPRIATION.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani officially signed the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (COPA) into law today.
The bill gives tenants, land trusts, and other vetted community organizations the first right to buy eligible buildings — and thus to decommodify their housing.

I dug into the unprecedented hack of ICE data that reveals the personnel and chains of command in San Francisco's field offices.
Raids and arrests, meanwhile, continue in the city and Bay Area.

Maybe it's because I am a lawyer, but I don't think the average person understands how difficult it is to successfully secure a conviction for rape in almost every country in the world. It's easier to secure a conviction for murder than rape, believe me.
I’ve reported rape twice to the Met Police, both times NFA’d (No Further Action), both times appealed, gave my phone in for evidence both times, they both refused to give their phones, gave DNA evidence in one, it wasn’t even touched, one Detective Inspector told me:

there's a mythology in the "migrants just drifted away culturally", it's not true. american settlers have always had two feet in the national question, that white americans claim their european ancestry is not unexpected, and not just for show, though it has been commodified

realest talk of all time but until WW2 white americans absolutely had strong and significant feedback with their motherlands. irish, german, swedish, italian, and russian newspapers circulated, their churches spoke their language, they recruited more people from their countries
why do white americans feel entitled to european culture

Why is AI slop so frustrating to read?
AI writing often obscures main ideas and invents awkward phrases, making sentences more complex than necessary.
Many of these slop patterns violate writing principles established in English writing books.
In our benchmark, AI writing far more often than human writing, with Claude Code replies by far the worst offenders.
We show examples of the most common slop patterns in this thread

I came across an interesting article about whether animals actually call each other by name. Bottlenose dolphins apparently develop their own unique “signature whistles”. Furthermore, other dolphins sometimes mimic those whistles to call them. In one experiment, when the++
