You can train a lobster to fetch ad space and a dog to fetch the paper, but neither signs a contract. An OpenClaw isn’t a person — it’s a witch’s familiar given general direction and loosed on the world. Treat it like one. mrmanners.substack.com/p/ai-…

Startup founder goes to work for DOGE, finds that government works basically fine and it’s hard to find easy ways to improve it. They found practically no fraud in Social Security. No one has done more to improve the reputation of the federal government than Elon Musk.

Ghostbusters Frozen Empire bravely avoids presenting a light and humorous entertainment to instead focus on fundamental ethical concerns. By what right do humans hunt, imprison, and bust these sensitive ectoplasmic souls? (1/6)

The film makers allow ample opportunity to ponder the guile involved in compiling this pastiche. A genius move to have the old-ghost /young-human encounter be a lesbian relationship, avoiding the disturbing power dynamics had it been an male ghost driving the seduction. (5/6)

Most impressive is the films’ careful distribution of BMs (Bill Murray seconds). Compare BMs in this movie to the recent Antman movie: The ratio of BMs to PRs (Paul Rudd seconds) is identical. BMs are somewhat differently distributed in this pile, but the results are similar. (6
