Nerd, Geek or whatever's clever. If there’s a discussion about Politics, Beach House or The Last Jedi, odds are I’m already involved.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it a million times: friends don’t let friends use the RCP averages.

“While public polls are horrendous for Republicans, the private ones are worse.”
If you are a Republican campaign consultant who thinks my sources are wrong about the state of play, please reach out and let me know. My latest column on @Daily_MailUS about the midterms: dailymail.com/debate/article…

My top favorite horror films of the 2020s so far, though not really ranked. Some of these are classified as horror but are probably not considered as such by most.

Complicated Chart - and an important one. Trump's approval is well below even Bush's approval in the '06 exit poll (I had to go back and check about '06). Surprised at how much higher the strongly disapprove number is now versus '06. Note how much lower the strongly approve number is in '26 than in '18.

Americans say 63%-17% that Trump's $5,000 dividend if the GOP wins is inappropriate. It's a pretty remarkable feat to make free money unpopular.

Anthropic CEO worries we're 6-12 months away from a swarm of AI agents capable of taking over the ENTIRE internet Calls for immediate, global 1-2 year slowdown in AI development Time to trust the people building the technology over the people merely investing in it
We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so. Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

The entire thread is worth reading, but, uh, this line caught my attention.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Not to be that guy and I know it's not going to happen, but what is the 25th for if not this? Our president is posting fake videos of a fake bombing of a country we're at real war with? Outta words and have been for awhile.
Trump posted last night a 10-second AI clip of Kharg Island “being blown to smithereens!!!” Even if AI had existed in 1944, I can’t imagine Churchill or Roosevelt posting CGI of Allied forces flattening the Third Reich. They just did it. War isn’t Call of Duty. Stop the trailer. Execute or don’t.
