the skeleton key to the last quarter century is understanding that we’ve already been in a world-historical conflict for three decades, it’s just that the aggressors have done an excellent job of covering it up. that the plutocracy is exposed enough to be publicly nervous points to an end state.

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

There are now 2,900 billionaires, and they hold $15.8 trillion.

The wealth of the bottom 50% of the global population, over 4 billion people, is estimated at $3.7 trillion.

All my friends and family just constantly believe ai stuff is real and send it to me with zero skepticism but then if I try to send or tell them anything absolutely real they'll be like "well everything's ai these days, how can you be sure" it is driving me insane
sorta coming around to the view that the social danger of genAI images is less that they'll make people believe fabricated things are real and more that they'll make people believe real things are fabricated

Yup. Even though many in media have been pushing the “perhaps there are some good ideas here” narrative, MAHA is at heart grifting

Unproven therapies. Unregulated supplements (sold by the grifters). A focus on appearances (see @nytimes.com describing RFK Jr as looking like a “superhero” 🙄🙄). All BS

LLMs are marketed as great tools to solve problems, get advice, make images & punch far above one's "weight class" to quickly & effectively communicate & persuade others.

In actuality LLMs are anti-reality, anti-truth destructive force-multiplier distortion weapons aimed right at our society.

That was the point. That was *always* the point. If you control the "AI" that people are asking questions of, you control the answers. You control the people.

LLMs aren’t “neutral” by default — they’re products.
Products reflect the goals, risk tolerance, and incentives of the companies that build them.

We have a US administration trying to bully Ukrainians into accepting Russia’s proposal that their sovereignty be undone. Aside from the naked injustice of this, there are five basic practical reasons why it would make the world far more dangerous.

oh
This was the plan all along and why people like Thiel have inserted their cronies into key positions in the govt. They HATE the FDA and have for many years because they want to make drugs (mostly longevity ones) that don’t have to go through serious vetting. Here is the inevitable outcome:
FDA is approving a new form of nalmefene for “prophylaxis” for “opioid exposure,” specifically citing fentanyl.

“Fentanyl exposure” is not a thing. Fent has to be intentionally ingested to cause OD.

It’s being made by a “blockchain-focused digital finance company” whose “biotech arm” is only this…

to safely dispose of these hats, eat them. natural fibers — such as cotton, wool, silk, and linen — breakdown in the digestive track. synthetics do not. thus, if you eat your hat, the synthetics will pass through the other side. smush through the poop to find the synthetic fibers and recycle them.

literally every reason you can think of that they use to not invest in clean energy (not cost effective yet, tech isnt there yet, etc) is 100% true of ai by the way, the difference is that clean energy will mean less money for rich people and ai means more money for rich people

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.
