DOGE was always a very thinly disguised con to dress up data theft and extraction class destruction of federal corporate oversight as innovative, and it's important to remember that part of the reason it worked so well is that the press helped legitimize it
hey don't be so hard on yourselves; it delivered oceans of sensitive government and citizen data to billionaires
Musk’s DOGE Quietly Killed Off After Delivering Almost Nothing
The agency disbanded eight months ahead of schedule.

I don't think we can fully explain America's constitution crises without deep diving into the learned helplessness of liberal elites in the Democratic Party. Reagan's death is now old enough to buy a beer
I called both of my Sens about this bc they both voted to end the shutdown rather than fight for a restoration of medicaid $. Hassan's office said they'd get back to me about what the Senator is doing for health access in Franconia. Shaheen's told me there was nothing they could do. #NHPol #NHPoli
The GOP cuts to Medicaid have cut rural Granite Staters off from basic health services. Nasty, nasty business. #NHPoli #NHPol

We joke about the cars but it's actually not good for people's mental or physical wellbeing to have to decide between spending hours to get places on inadequate public transport or dodge Brad Trumpvoter from Chudd County trying to mow you down in his F150 every time you want to buy milk.

I think this is true; one aspect of it is that America has an *extraordinary* amount of scamming.
I'd add that American life is also quite a lot more intangibly annoying. It takes longer and costs more to get places. You're subject to a lot more debt (which you mostly can service, because you're better paid) but it's a cognitive load that makes you feel less agency than elsewhere.

This has been where I'm at lately also. It's getting harder to tell what is and isn't AI (sometimes) and it sucks having to meet every new with mistrust rather than the joy of discovery.
![Thoughts about “AI”
Yes it’s:
The slop
The theft
The brainrot
The loss of work
The crumbling of creator rights
The destroying of the environment and infrastructure
But it's also the destroying of trust in anything that you’re not seeing with your own eyes right in front of you.
Wonder now turned to the narrowing of eyes in immediate scepticism seeing something magical.
Questioning the realness of everything from a stilted written apology to profound works by students in school.
It feels like a slow poison to creativity and humanity at large.

Some of us have been advocating this going back since chatGPT launched. It also has other benefits: correcting someone else's work is actually a really good way to learn something yourself.

I think it’s bad that ai allows people to pretend to live in completely separate realities so they don’t have to process news and events that make them uncomfortable. I think that is bad for the health of society!
Trump supporters are also making shitty AI videos of Trump arresting Mamdani in the Oval Office.
They don't know how to process what just happened in real life, so they're making the version they prefer with AI.
