    I’m So Glad This Nightmarish Legal Fight Is Playing Out During an Election Season (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Massachusetts is no place for kids. When its citizens aren’t fighting for a woman’s right to strangle her own children because she has a sad, the state is straight-up kidnapping children so it can ruin their lives and destroy their futures without interference. That’s why I’m so glad this latest case of state-enforced grooming, kidnapping, and permanent medical damage is playing out against the background of midterm elections. The story is sadly not new in our compromised country: Some school “c

    The Birth of a Panic: Investigator Catches the Moment an Anti-AI Narrative Launches (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    On Tuesday, an AI researcher named Jacob Coxon flounced from his job at Anthropic, posting on X that he was afeared of the monster he had been helping to build. 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. His warning was immediately everywhere, a chorus of prominent media an

They formed gangs and perpetrated nighttime raids, during which they broke into factories, smashed and destroyed equipment, and even burned down mills. They called themselves Luddites, after a folk hero, Ned Ludd, who had smashed up knitting frames. Eventually, of course, the rebellion was put down, and progress marched on, improving the st

    The Super-Simple Solution to Masked ICE Agents — and Why It Will Never Satisfy the Left (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Life is different for the families of law enforcement officers. Sure, you worry about your loved one when he or she is on the job, but the threat doesn’t end simply because the workday is over. Vengeful sociopaths and obsessive crazy people don’t stop hating when the shift ends.
