i disagree with Cory Doctorow and his take here on "AI critic psychosis." the tl; dr is "lol everyone calm down, LLMs are a normal technology, a neutral tool that can be used for good or for evil." no. some technologies are bad and mainly do bad things. https://pluralistic.net/2026/03/12/normal-technology/

machine learning is a dangerous technology that is making life worse for everyone. deploying a model in a way that could cause harm to the public should require a license and liability insurance. https://archive.is/C7uVc

this is certainly how Trump's "wars" have played out in the past, but this time, there are multiple other actors: Iran, Saudi Arabia, Israel, etc. i'm not sure Iran stops lobbing UAVs at its neighbors or opens the Strait of Hormuz just because Trump hangs out a MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner.

I think the thing that bothers me most right now is the sinking of that Iranian destroyer. yeah, there are other more serious atrocities, but sinking a defenseless vessel on the high seas without declaring war and without giving it a chance to surrender is not just wrong and not just a war crime. it's cowardly, dishonorable, and goes against **centuries** of naval tradition and culture. it's exceptionally dark and twisted.

excellent, eloquent speech by Pedro Sánchez just now on Spain's position with regard to the war. he basically said: we've been through this once before. the United States dragged us into an illegal war when it invaded Iraq that destabilized the region for two decades and set off a huge wave of immigration that Europe is still struggling to handle. this new war is also unjust, illegal, and stupid and we won't be involved. 💪

a thing that really worries me is that they are essentially going to try to suspend the normal rules of finance so "AI" can continue destroying the real economy for the next decade until money doesn't mean anything and a handful of people are in charge of everything.

this is kind of interesting. the job supposedly pays €7/hr, which is pretty decent for Spain. obviously it could be a scam, but i would have thought this is the kind of work that people are now using LLMs for. maybe people are realizing LLMs write like crap???

Democrats gotta figure out their "men with guns" situation to enforce these court orders. at the end of the day, if you don't have men with guns situation under control, the law doesn't exist. https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/courts-have-ruled-4400-times-that-ice-jailed-people-illegally-it-hasnt-stopped-2026-02-14/

the current Anthropic charm offensive is very interesting because they appear to be trying to win sympathy with liberal audiences. big deep-dive in the New Yorker, big deep-dive in The Atlantic, and a video from the WSJ editorial board asking "Is AI the Next Climate Change?" (ie - is it a bullshit liberal hoax) https://www.wsj.com/video/wsj-opinion-is-ai-the-next-climate-change/2D7AB501-E8C7-4038-AD5C-C2308245257C

I kind of understand now why the Bolsheviks killed the entire Romanov family. even if some were not terrible people, they were all in on it, and you just can't take any chances.
