David Roth nails another one to the wall. Some very excellent comments, too.
All the dire implications notwithstanding it is hilarious how evil this technology is. Billions of dollars spent on this greasy lying stupid thing that was literally built to replace people, and everyone that uses it gets weaker, lazier, dumber, and sadder for having done so. Well done all around.

@andrewhickey.500songs.com The MC5 episode was, as always, thoroughly researched, insightful, and highly entertaining.

Academia in 2025: For weeks I’ve been working through botched copy-edits of my monograph, outsourced by the publisher to a company I’d never heard of, until it finally dawned on me the terrible job might be AI.

There are a few images of American GI's who participated in the liberation of Nazi concentration camps. In these pictures, the soldiers look stunned, shocked, or just numb.
Kristi Noem has the demeanor of the camp commandant, the person in charge of the torture and death.

That he's doing his performative fascism in front of a snarling crowd and a sea of compliant media in an arena that regularly showcases professional wrestling is just so on the nose. This is his most comfortable venue, ensconced in the WWE presidency, but with extra brownshirts.

The richest American alive is a neonazi with massive defense contracts and his own propaganda outlet.

Elon Musk has changed his X profile.
His avatar is now Pepe the Frog, a mascot adopted by white supremacists.
His name is a Latinisation of “Kek”, a phrase used by neo-Nazis.
Musk has also backed AfD in Germany, the political home for racists.
The man is telling us explicitly what he’s about.
