I will, at times, post something that seems non-seqiteur, totally missing the point, hanging the messenger, incoherent. And you will be correct in your assessment. Its not spam though, it's just my fingers not keeping up with my brain, and my brain not keeping up with the feed.

The Great AI Bubble

"What we’re seeing is a closed doom loop underpinned by…well, what exactly? The promise of a world-changing technology that, guess what, isn’t here yet and there’s no real sign that it ever will be. These companies are stealing every scrap of data they can find, throwing […]

Cash-flows in the #aibubble, in one neat diagram. Carole Cadwalladr has one question, "when will it pop". No answer yet, but the question is delicious. https://open.substack.com/pub/broligarchy/p/the-great-ai-bubble

Yes, it's a bubble. And yes, it's going to burst.

#hottip #hashtag
My hot t ip on hashtags, is *make compound words*. E.g. HashTag is a thing, which could be interesting to look up, the words hash and tag, not so much. Case in point is #design #fail, which will get you nowhere. #designfail, however, might work.

The problem is they can't replace Obamacare with a more "republican" plan that isn't a disaster, because the ACA IS the Republican option: It was Romneycare with the serial numbers filed off!
NEW: As health insurance bills rise, Republicans are still seeking an Obamacare alternative

There is no legislative product yet.

No consensus in the party about a plan.

But top GOP lawmakers and policy figures on Capitol Hill have begun discussing concepts.

My search skills are failing, but trying to find an essay I read a few years ago about understanding gen-alpha humor through the lens of historical artistic movements embracing surrealism in response to fascism. If anyone happens to have a link, I'd very much so appreciate it!

In two recent public speaking engagements, I made a comparison between the obesity epidemic in various pockets of the globe and AI. Several people came up afterwards and said that was the best analogy they'd heard, so maybe it's worth repeating here. Also, I feel like this one will hold up a […]
