I think one of the big problems with AI is that it's never about making my life easier in ways I want it to. "Oh it makes art so you don't have to" but I want to make art! I don't want to snake out dirty drains and pick up dog shit out of my yard. Focus on making the robots do that kind of stuff!

The thing is, taking a strong stand in defence of trans people's rights isn't just the correct moral thing to do. It's also the politically smart thing to do.

Hoo boy. We are all in such trouble.
It's also vastly easier and cheaper for media outlets to produce culture war content than policy stuff.
With policy, you have to find actual experts that are available and willing, then pray they're good entertaining communicators.
On culture shit, you start with a talking head and work backwards.

This chart (which applies even more to social media than it did to TV) lives in my head rent free.
Social media enveloping traditional media means everything and everyone is now competing in the entertainment market. Boring stuff like policy that affects millions of lives doesn’t stand a chance.

There are a million children in Aotearoa, about 700 of them have been prescribed puberty blockers (that's 0.07%)
Medication decisions should be decided by the child, their caregivers, and the relevant health professionals, not a party relying on imported culture wars to stay in power

I've written about "disordered counterpublics" groups that reinforce shared delusions Here, the LLM becomes a 1 person counterpublic. It mirrors assumptions, absorbs contradictions, & provides the sense of a responsive, confirming audience.

I keep hearing about the need for job creation and cost of living reductions… that’s all well and good. Could we just start saying ‘wealth redistribution’ instead maybe? We don’t need more jobs to tax the living shit out of billionaires. We can start there. F*ck those dudes.
