The desperate hands of the global south seek to take back an overheated world. Seriously, what's next? The McHamburglar trophy in gourmet cooking? The Pol Pot Human Rights medal? The Jeffrey Epstein childcare grant? The Vladimir Putin democracy fellowship? The Weinstein-Cosby feminism prize?

I have turned this post on Benjamin Bratton’s essay “The Five Stages of AI Grief” into a thread by citing the symptomatic statements he offers for each stage of #AI grief, plus a quote on what non-grief looks like.
This article helps us better understand responses to AI including the moral panic.

“The Five Stages Of AI Grief” offers a useful framework to understand the range of responses people have to #AI.

Can confirm that Gemini 3 Pro can transcribe Césaire's handwriting like a specialist. I just fed it one of Césaire's most trash handwriting, and the only thing it missed was the name "Suzy." Damn. Even AI is all in to make Suzanne invisible. Lol. Cold.
