AI is like this giant fucking boat we all were forced to get on, and it's a boat they stole, and also it barely floats, and also it's not going anywhere good. So it either takes us somewhere we hate, or it fucking sinks, so either way, fuck AI.
So if AI succeeds loads of people lose their jobs as they're replaced by AI, and if AI fails, loads of people lose their jobs as the economy crashes?
It’s amazing how this story has gone from 0 to 60 in UK press. There’s been no mainstream coverage to date but this morning the story is leading BBC News site & bulletins.

Putting together my holiday party playlist for the year and realized something. “Christmas in Hollis” by Run-DMC came out in 1987. That means it is as old today as Bing Crosby and Carol Richards’ “Silver Bells” was the year I was born.

Final thoughts on Graham Platner as someone who was an early supporter (even though I don’t live in ME): what you say can mean a lot, but what you do/have done means more.
If he’d come out of the gate acknowledging all of these serious problems that became “gotchas”…

You have to be willing to walk away from these guys if they let you down, just as a matter of basic self respect. It's not a fandom. You're hiring them to do a job or not.
I liked the Platner ads too but I think there's a difference between "guy who had some bad reddit posts a decade ago" and "ex-Blackwater merc who still has a Nazi tattoo." Sucks bigtime that he's the only one taking positions and talking policy I like, but them's the breaks!

He’s welcome to sit out this cycle for Senate and pick up some more experience in local politics while he gets it removed. This isn’t a purity test, it’s an action test - you cannot atone for a mistake without taking steps to fix it. This isn’t complicated.
After hearing this guy shitposts on Reddit and has sick tats, I'm even more FOR him to defeat Susan Collins.
We need to stop holding rising Progressives to impossible standards; more real and imperfect they are, the more we need them in office. Can't fight Nazis w/ the Hakeem Jeffries of the world!

The thing about this that frustrates me to no end is that there *is* a conspiracy of high-level individuals to take over the world, but it’s not a secretive, shadowy cabal…
It’s literally just billionaires.

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.
