The worst thing about burnout for me is that at times my reading comprehension takes a big steaming shit and it can be hard to tell when it's happening.
Take this as an apology in advance if I am uncharitable with you in a stupid way.

I mean, I do eat bon bons. Several times a year even. 🤣
But my ability to afford a small luxury now and then is unrelated to whether or not the fruits of my labour, which aren’t even ranked in Mazslow’s hierarchy of needs, should be stolen and hand-waved off as a scrimmage against petit bourgeois.

Hell, a lot of us work multiple jobs so that we can keep creating stuff for people to read or listen to.
Because making stuff matters to us. It's worth all the work for us.
We're not the elite. We're working stiffs. Who make stuff they like.

It’s just Fox News propaganda of “artist are upper class yuppies who don’t know about the real world” repackaged.
Honestly, people calling creators the "petite bourgeoisie" makes me want to snap.
We're working folk. And we work really hard. For next to nothing.
We're not lounging around eating bonbons. We're trying to figure out how we're going to be able to pay rent next month.

The left's flirtation with technolibertarianism back in the 2000s has lead to a cavalcade of devastating errors of theory on multiple levels and rebutting those are some of the most pressing tasks for modern thinkers.

"You know what trans people need? To be taken down a peg, they've had too little criticism for too long."
The media does not in fact have to be critical of everything, especially when it's pretty clear that they're coming in with a hateful bias.

Surely trans people deserve to have their care critically examined by the media just as everyone does. It's anti trans to say they don't.

if the Biden Irrelevancy had one clear lesson it's that you can't retake democracy from those who would destroy it and then spend years slow-rolling the arrests of those responsible while failing to explicitly change the rules to keep them from power
Something I wonder about for real is what comes after this, whenever that is. Because it can't be this again, right? Like if this is what the presidency is now then we can't ever have another president

the list of obstacles were known and many and rather than get into another dead-end argument with people insisting Manchin meant good things aren't possible, I want to say that power is built at least as much as it is spent, and a full disinterest in using it to build it has left us with disaster.

Self-conscious defenses of antisocial, lazy, and regressive views/behaviors are common because the people that, in this case, use AI for things know there doing something dumb so they have to constantly defend it, not to sway others but to silence them while convincing themselves
People who are ‘AI’ boosters and whine about ‘anti-AI’ sentiment bewilder me. You have Twitter and LinkedIn; you have politicians and journalists on your side; businesses are all pro-AI.

The instinct of management is to blame those pesky workers rather than AI being shit, because the AI mandate comes from the bosses, and the first priority of management is to ensure compliance and mete out punishment.
The failure of a project is in many ways a success for justifying a purge.

Ok, I'm confused. In Marxism's view of "Labour power" individual artists are not small business owners and the issue would be capitalist exploitation of the labor, not the artist. Do these folks ever know what they're talking about?

The thing about the government bailing out genAI when the bubble pops, is it can't.
It's almost half the US stock market. It is bigger than consumer spending.
The government would have to spend like half its entire budget, on something that loses billions of dollars a month, forever.
