Writing about Elon Musk’s pay package without leading with this is like profiling John Wayne Gacy’s booming party clown career.
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

dems rly need to be building websites/tools that let people plug in details like zip code, income, type of insurance, etc. so that they can see how much money republicans have cost them/will cost them next cycle. hardly a better message than “these fucks are costing you $x.xx, vote for us”

Collective action is the way. Good for everyone that’s a “name” talent pledging to torpedo the creative credibility of any org that capitulates to unconstitutional censorship. Now, where can the unions use their leverage beyond the immediate condemnation statements?
LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.

Generative AI by definition is conformity. It is an averaging of anything you ask of it - quite literally guessing what the most likely version of a thing might be. It is, by definition, mainstream, as is everything it creates old and deeply ideological, as every model trains on similar data.
AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.

Hate is built on fear. The cure to fear is knowledge, experience, and empathy. So the backbone of any censorship movement is their ability to convince people that those three things are actually bad.
We have a very easy argument to make if you think about it... We just need to be louder about it.

“The need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. Authority is brittle…Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction.”
A serious study from a Harvard University political scientist presents a statistic worth remembering: Around the world, once 3.5% of the population became engaged in sustained, non-violent campaigns of resistance, change has always happened.Democracy is inevitable, when the people are determined.

I post/repost this information every time I see it because every time I hear a mostly offline person talking about it, it’s in the same breath as Google and boy are they not the same thing.
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I think much of the tech right’s turn to eugenics can be explained by their psychic refusal to accept that their massive wealth is the product of historical luck (being in SV at a time when investment money was cheap & abundant) and an insistence that it was instead a product of inherent supremacy.
That Peter Thiel is pretty dumb shouldn't be surprising. No reason to think someone who got rich basically being lucky (right place, right time) during early tech boom and then exploiting IRA tax loopholes should have anything intelligent to say about politics, philosophy, or anything else.
