AI seems to be stumbling, OpenAI and Palantir bookend chaos
OpenAI abandons their hail marys, trying to go legit (ha), and Palantir is being aided by the president, totally normal, amirite?
Political Musing
Where I spend way too much time reading about, thinking about, and writing about politics. It is just a reflection of how fucked up American politics is at the moment. Perhaps one day I will be able to write about Guitars again. I am not holding my breath though

Trump Surrenders; Stephens beclowns himself
After a fucking high stress weekend, caused by the careless blathering of Trump on the war that he caused, and that he had no idea how to get out of.

Time for a Grab Bag - The Ides of March edition
A collection of fuckery from my perusal of the news... FCC Follies, Republicans more than flirting with Groyperism, and finally David French wants to blame Democrats for the polarization.

This Fucking Guy: Alex Karp
Alex Karp is a speshul kind of fucker, someone who is where he is solely because of who he knew in college. I never want to hear another fucking word about "merit" in connection with these Silicon Valley jackasses.

Trump Failing the basic test
