now that we're already in total epistemological collapse there's really no downside to the complete self-immolation of the American news media, which was the most vile and powerful consent manufacturing apparatus in human history. good riddance

if people I hated turned out to be entirely correct about the need to get rid of ICE, an agency I supported until a couple of months ago, I would simply demand to know how they would vote in an election matchup that will never happen in order to regain my moral superiority

"The increase of the productive force of labour and the greatest possible negation of necessary labour is the necessary tendency of capital, as we have seen. The transformation of the means of labour into machinery is the realization of this tendency."
James Boggs said this in 1963 and it's relevant to AI economy.
“Marxists have continued to think of a mass of workers always remaining as the base of an industrialized society. They have never once faced the fact that capitalist society could develop to the point of not needing a mass of workers.”

relatedly, I installed linux mint about a month ago and have never looked back. paved over my windows partition over the weekend. try mint or pop_os or bazzite. it just works with extremely minimal fuss. the year of the linux desktop is now

giving myself a panic attack by wondering if the liar guys whose job it is to lie and have lied every single moment of every single day of their professional and public lives might be... t- t-t telling the truth?!?
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

ok imagine if we did have a central apparatus though. imagine if it provided more meaningful and actionable resistance than what essentially amounts to harm reduction. imagine if the state did target it, and it was equipped to make that a miserable and lengthy problem for them. its all possible

ORC BESIEGING MINAS TIRITH: this sucks man, I can't believe they're making us fight all these guys. we walked all the way here from the plateau of gorgoth and we only stopped like, three times. my feet hurt so bad. gosh I freakin wish it was friday already!!!
This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

this shouldn't really surprise anyone: JK Rowling fucking hates women. Her history of attacking trans women represented a way to express her hatred and cruelty towards women in a way where she could launder it as a form of progressivism and maintain some semblance of social and cultural standing
🤔 It’s definitely not suspicious at all to have people point out your common Twitter sign off is in the Epstein files and ten completely delete your yacht’s logs right?

as a long time commie crank I would have told you years ago that yes, of course, we are ruled by a satanic cabal of child raping nazis, but to have it all just laid out in the daylight like this is still fucking me up to heretofore unseen levels

any future political action that doesn't give highest priority to rounding up all of these guys and -- at the absolute barest minimum -- locking them up forever is explicitly giving them a few years to get a running start for next time

these guys are seeing the cliff coming and are trying to spin up the PR machine so they can still have jobs on the other side of the bubble: it's not that I burnt billions on my snake oil grift, it's that the ignorant masses could never grasp my vision of the perfect AGI future and so killed it
Jensen Huang of Nvidia, $NVDA, has said relentless negativity around AI is hurting society and has done a lot of damage, per Techspot.

interesting article but the reality is much worse. AI is going to destroy hundreds of software companies in a best-case scenario where AI doesn't collapse. Not through job replacement or AI-developed software alternatives, but through poisoning codebases with non-exensible, non-maintainable code
“One notable MIT study found that 95 percent of companies that integrated AI saw zero meaningful growth in revenue. For coding tasks, one of AI’s most widely hyped applications, another study showed that programmers who used AI coding tools actually became slower at their jobs.”
