I guess it's thrilling to imagine oneself to be part of a mad chase to the creation of artificial life. But it's not just fun and games when that chase is being used to concentrate wealth & power and involves despoiling the physical & information ecosystems + massive labor exploitation.

the one useful contribution genAI has made to the discourse is that, in being overwhelmingly used by the right for political purposes, it emphasises how much right-wing politics relies on just making things up

you really couldn't make many movies from 40-50 years ago today. this is due to the unavailability of certain discontinued film stocks and the deaths of many principal actors, directors, and other various crew members

Perhaps the real ‘two tier justice’ is that the foot soldiers who do the racist tweets get jail time, whilst the lieutenants in journalism who write the racist articles and the colonels as editors who spew out the incendiary headlines, and generals who own the papers, just get lots of money.

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

Eventually there's gotta be some kind of post-mortem that covers just how many stories there were about these two in major media outlets that at not point mentioned the fact that they are Nazis.
They have deep connections with secret societies. His brother is in DOGE. They may or may not be personal friends of Elon Musk. Holly Baxter spends the day with Simone and Malcolm Collins, who believe they can culturally reprogram America — and whose vision seems to be coming true

I will never forgive Apple for getting rid of their headphone jack and giving the wired headphones a lightning cable end. More than ever people seem to use their phones without headphones to watch videos on the subway and you cannot convince me that change isn’t partly responsible.

Sometimes it feels like this country is losing its mind. Or maybe it’s already lost it? When I feel overwhelmed, I’m reminded of this famous image of Salvador Dalí by Philippe Halsman — Everything flying every which way, things are out of control, gravity is upended, and chaos rules.
