Today!

It's 2025 and the techbros are still out there with their AGI fantasies.

So Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000 will also still be here taking it all apart with ridicule as praxis.

@alex & I will kick off the new year by aiming that praxis at ARC, o3 and all things OpenAI:

I also really appreciate how they are keeping up this work, even post-election. This is a really important case:

Shout out to Lina Khan's FTC and the amazing work they have been doing, summarized in this post. This what a functioning regulatory body looks like & what we should continue to hold as expectations even in the face of pressure to normalize anything less.
