"The left’s current stance leads to a focus not on dealing with AI by regulating it wisely or preparing for it but on popping the economic bubble, which here is a baked-in fact of history and not a possibility of the future."
The left is missing out on AI
As a movement, it has largely refused to engage seriously with AI, ceding debate about a threat and opportunity to the right

Colbert has truly had a great relationship with CBS, even after he was told his contract wasn’t going to be renewed. So let me say: It’s stunning to me that, as he explains here, nobody at CBS told Colbert about the statement today.

A little over a day after the re-watching that may turn into a tradition I had to break out the bootleg shirt. May your Harga’s burning of the gaslighters in your lives go bright and strong.

You will never run out of reasons to continue masking. A grocery store hasn’t seen my whole face since before 2020 because as a former theatrical lighting tech and near-sighted person with an astigmatism, I’ve almost always have my sunglasses on indoors.
(5/11) Walmart, Whole Foods, and Kohls are switching to electronic shelf labels that can display dynamic prices. Kroger deployed them with Microsoft AI—a setup a 2024 Senate inquiry warned could enable “surge pricing” via facial recognition. (Kroger claims it will only lower prices.)
