Like Zohran Mamdani, Cleveland’s popular Tom Johnson ran on an affordable public transit platform. In 1901 he promised three-cent streetcar fares. In 1906 Mayor Johnson finally delivered, piloting the first “threefer” (as Clevelanders called it) himself.

The AI oligarchs are creating this “race” with China while giving them advance chips so that can catch up to make it somewhat of a race, which they can then use to justify their energy, resource and water-sucking data centers. It’s your patriotic duty to support it! Beat China!

As a humorous riff off of the very Millennial buzzword "metrosexual", I wrote in my diary in 2022 that I was "Aragornsexual". A silly joke, but I haven’t stopped thinking about it since!

This is truly outstanding and noteworthy, made me tear up at the end. Best ad of the year? I don't recall seeing a better one. And yes, it's approximately ten billion percent better than any slop.
Here is a French Christmas ad for a supermarket. It has infinitely better look, story, and message. It actually sparks joy in you rather than leaving you depressed, unlike Coca-Cola and McDonald's AI ads.

![The main villain across Black Mirror is AI. At this moment in time and at the current pace AI is accelerating, how terrified are you of it?
Ying Yang. There’s two fronts that you’re looking at it. One is the professional end in front of the industry and what it means for creativity. And the other is, are we going to get terminated — is that happening? Do you know Ed Zitron?
I don’t think so.
You should look him up. He’s extremely cynical about LLMs [Large Language Models] and chatbots and stuff like this. He is convinced this is a massive bubble. There’s a lot of that thought going on at the moment that the LLM side of things is a kind of bubble that’s brewing — and how useful are they, really? For somebody who does a show that is worrying out loud a lot of the time about unforeseen consequences of amazing inventions, I can catastrophize with the best of them very quickly. And I can also, sort of think — I can see the value in these things if they’re used correctly as tools, basically. I can see the value in a tool creatively. I can see the value in a tool that a human being is deploying in that way. I can see the value in the tools in Photoshop. It’s when is when people go, “Oh, well, take your hands off the keyboard, walk away” — I don’t see who that’s for.
The thing that worries me about, like AI imagery — you feed the screenplay into it, and it pumps out a whole movie — is a smaller concern than: “Oh God. Society will crumble because we’ll just be flooded with misinformation.” That scares me more on a deeper animal level than the industry things. But the industry stuff worries me too. … I flip-flop between cautious optimism — or at least thinking — “Maybe this is just a big bubble and it’ll all go away,” and thinking, “Oh, we’re fucked.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qc6xzgctorfsm35w6i3vdebx/bafkreihhvdt7zukixvqvoryswtwjwufcxf5ra5rdbdpkzmyavafyv2hwbm@jpeg)
