tech is pivoting to humanoid robots!!

the humanoid robots:

damn dude, the music in these Ukrainian military propaganda videos goes so fucking hard. (no gore or anything, just ships going boom)

(i don't think it's AI because the riffs build and are repeated. my experience from listing to AI music while sitting in my local McDonald's is that it comes up with catchy hooks but never circles back to them later or builds any kind of structure, it just kind of meanders around)

FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS!! https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/12/lindsey-graham-key-ally-of-donald-trump-has-died-after-sudden-illness-his-office-says

most of the people we hate are very old and on the verge of dying suddenly 🤗

it's hard to explain what a big deal this is coming from a US Senator.

the thing about Graham Platner is that he voluntarily spent like a decade fighting the US's illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, doing **multiple tours** and then **FUCKING WENT BACK** to work for another six months in Afghanistan as a mercenary. the hard-left position (and the one a lot of us took!!) should always have been "fuck this guy" or at the very least, "you don't get to lead us, bro, you're a killer. sit down."

jesus christ

the amount of stuff blowing up in Moscow is nuts. in broad daylight too! Russia really lost this war, huh.

lol these look like absolute ass.

😂 i mean, nice try i guess.

hey, yo, if you replace all or part of your dev team with Claude, that just means Anthropic owns your code base now. over time, it will become impossible to maintain without Claude, and when Anthropic decides to start charging per token, you will not be able to go back to using human engineers, and you will not be able to switch to a competitor, because there aren't any. you will be trapped.

everyone can see this is a trap, and everyone is walking into it anyway because the bait is so good.

UK has insane controls on speech, arresting old ladies for wearing T-shirts that say "FREE PALESTINE", but you can use a massive social media platform to whip up a pogrom and they're like "oh gee, oh no, nothing we can do 🤭" https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/jun/10/elon-musk-x-not-face-action-uk-government-posts-inciting-violence-belfast

oh man, it really IS a price war!! https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/09/google-just-fired-a-warning-shot-in-the-ai-subscription-price-wars/

"we didn't know!" yeah you did. you didn't care.

i'm so angry at what the billionaires have done to us because of their psychotic greed and lust for power. the harm to the public is incalculable. Nuremberg trials for the AI financiers and then public executions.

had dinner last night with a couple of kids from Texas and their assessment is that the education system is completely fucked. it's all teachers using ChatGPT to make lessons that kids complete using ChatGPT and then teachers grade the work using ChatGPT. you couldn't undermine a society more effectively if you set out to do it on purpose.
