The life of a rentier is inherently more stable and less demanding than the producer. Why wouldn't Big Tech welcome a world where every facet of the computer is like Xbox Game Pass? Personal Computing will become a political cause and will have to be fought for by aging millennial and zoomers.

There is a fab new book out about the 2022 polychromy exhibition at the Met. It underscores 38 scholars who are the 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 experts in polychromy today. Coming out of polychromy retirement to review _Chroma: Sculpture in Color from Antiquity to Today_ for @hyperallergic.com (edited by Natalie Haddad).
How White Elites Drained Ancient Art of Its Color
The publication of “Chroma” represents an important shift by museums toward recognizing polychromy and its entanglement with white supremacy.

Everyone should be asking this question all the time. Unfortunately it mostly seems to be gambling websites and cryptocurrency scams.
Man couldnt answer a single damn question about what he is making. No one ever does. “Im so productive!” To make WHAT. What do we need all this supposed software for? How is it helping us? What problems are you solving that arent “make me feel like a special technical boi“?

Seriously, this hyper concentration of wealth is one of the top problems facing the country -- the maldistribution is worse than it was before the Great Depression, and their political influence is even greater than it was then thanks to Citizens United etc.
The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering
The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Essentially, it doesn't have an answer for whether you should walk or drive to a car wash, as it's not a commonly asked question (because it's stupid). Just like if you Google searched the question, you wouldn't find a good result because it's not a common question. 3/?
