Am I to understand correctly that for years progressives have lost the fight on green energy initiatives because we would be costing thousands of American jobs in fracking and coal, but now AI is being funded to take over our jobs entirely and we can’t unite on universal basic income?

it really can't be said enough that this is a person who has dined with the president of the united states
Fuentes then fantasizes about “breeding gulags”: “So just like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists, you know, all of his political rivals, we have to do the same thing with women… They go to the breeding gulags. The good ones will be liberated. The bad ones will toil in the mines forever.”

If AI were so crucial I’d think it would sell itself — but it always seems to be infused with this non-consensual inevitability, like YOU BETTER ADOPT IT OR DIE IT’S COMING LIKE IT OR NOT, a threat gilded as promise.

Look, I’m a giant, MASSIVE nerd who wants to live in Iain Banks’ Culture as much as the next post-scarcity guy, but our current fill in the blank machines bear about as much relationship to intelligence as a duck does to a stealth bomber.
All of this is so incredibly stupid.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Off the top of my head "The Pitch and Yaw of Satellites" from the album "Hurrah! Another Year, Surely This One Will Be Better Than the Last; The Inexorable March of Progress Will Lead Us All to Happiness" by Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies.
Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)
