They keep clamping down on education and medicine because they want everyone who isn't them or one of their wealthy cronies to be ignorant and sick and desparate.
I’m sorry that I don’t have anything intelligent to say right now because I am so fucking angry

The far right in Ukraine is electorally irrelevant (far more irrelevant than in the US or most of Europe) but the fastest way to change that is to hand them a factually correct stab in the back narrative in which it is liberal democracies with the knife
If I could think of a think that would rapidly develop Ukrainian fascism, it's the US doing shit like this
For daring to throw off the Russian yoke and be a free democracy, we have decided to reward Ukraine with a stab in the back

This has gotten very little coverage in the US, but on Monday US military contractors or troops or some other paramilitary group placed signs on a beach in Mexico, claiming it as US territory. (The contested location is close to the SpaceX base outside Brownsville)

I am by no means a prominent public intellectual, but my inbox is increasingly filled with messages from people who have been convinced by sycophantic chatbots that they have discovered revolutionary theories that entirely upend our scientific understanding of the universe.

My most woke opinion is that the whole point of society is to collectively help each other. My taxes should be going towards housing and feeding everyone. No one should be without food or shelter. Rich people should be contributing more towards this. It shouldn't even be controversial!

I’ve been saying this for ages: These folks are doomed to be permanently angry because they’re angry about aspects of the culture that policy ultimately can’t change. They’re seeking political power as a consolation prize for lack of cultural power, and will always be dissatisfied.
I think this prediction is holding up pretty well, and maybe I should have noted the failure of the Turn Charlie Kirk Into A Martyr moment might have been the pinnacle of the phenomenon. In some deep way I think the New Right Loser Men fail to understand what state power can and can't do for them.

LLMs give people with delusional belief systems a way to organise those beliefs. The model fills in gaps, supplies connective tissue, and wraps the madness in formal language.
It doesn't make the claims more credible to us, it just tidies them up.
