Por cierto, no sé por qué ubico a la gente de vuestro podcast como próxima al blog Furia Contra la Máquina, no sé si algunos comentabais allí o es una alucinación mía.

En mi caso hay una etapa de formación analógica, 87-92 digamos, y poco después un acceso a internet primitivo, pero la socialización en foros hispanos me pilla casi treintañero. Referencias vuestras como El Día de la Bestia o Matrix las reconozco pero no son tan fundacionales.

En los 5-15 años que creo que me llevo con el staff de SBS creo que la desaparición de las revistas es la diferencia más dramática.

Antes de internet eran muy importantes. Para alguien que estaba empezando la oportunidad de conseguir el típico especial o top de discos era como un mapa para tirar del hilo, se absorbía hasta el último dato.

Voy por la mitad y me está pareciendo bastante curioso que nadie haya mencionado las revistas y el quiosco como escaparate musical, aquí hay una brecha generacional fuerte.

What sucks is that I think if/when this site dies there is no actual replacement. A very few might be able to hack it on mastodon. A sickening amount will go back to Twitter. Most will disperse to threads, Reddit, tumblr, discords. There won’t be a liberal-ish cultural center online at all.

Are people truly going to mastodon? I found it exhausting last time.

Peter Thiel, watching Boss Baby: Getting a lot of antichrist vibes off this one
sharonk.bsky.social
thiel, man, what the fuck are you talking about

He describes the plot of Watchmen, a 1986 graphic novel involving superheroes grappling with moral questions about humanity against the backdrop of impending nuclear war:

The antihero Ozymandias, the antichrist-type figure, is sort of an early-modern person. He believes this will be a timeless and eternal solution – eternal world peace. Moore is sort of a late-modern. In early modernity, you have ideal solutions, ‘perfect’ solutions to calculus. In late modernity, things are sort of probabilistic. And at some point, he asks Dr Manhattan whether the world government is going to last. And he says that ‘nothing lasts forever.’ So you embrace the antichrist and it still doesn’t work.

Thiel later finds biblical meaning in the manga One Piece, discussing how he believes it represents a future where an antichrist-like one-world government has repressed science. He believes that the hero, Monkey D Luffy, represents a Christlike figure.

In One Piece, you are set in a fantasy world, again sort of an alternate earth, but it’s 800 years into the reign of this one-world state. Which, as the story unfolds, gradually gets darker and darker. You sort of realize, in my interpretation, who runs the world and it’s something like the antichrist. There’s Luffy, a pirate who wears a red straw hat, sort of like Christ’s crown of thorns. And then towards the end of the story, transforms into a figure who resembles Christ in Revelation.

Thiel, along with a researcher and writer at Thiel Capital, explored these ideas at greater length in an essay for the religious journal First Things earlier this month.

This is both fascinating & frightening. There is a demand for images that show and confirm what people already know and believe to be true, and AI slop meets that demand—with visual content that emblematically visualizes what the headlines report. One could call it synthetic hypervisualization

That TikTok account has a few fake videos of reporters getting detained. They make these videos because it’s a big story in the news. Real reporters are getting arrested. And so people are making AI videos to get engagement on TikTok.

Ayer tuve comparecencia en la Comisión de Transición Ecológica del Congreso. Sus señorías de Vox intoxicaron el debate con bulos negacionistas. Esta fue mi respuesta. Y de paso, una reflexión sobre su falso patriotismo al servicio de Trump 👇👇👇

It is also remarkable how far what is essentially advertising copy has penetrated into ostensibly neutral, scholarly contextualizations even of critical studies — rote invocations of AI’s “power,” “potential,” and ubiquity, untethered to any specific sources or data, are just background noise now.

Since we're all in the mood for taking the piss out of the Tories today, play @mattround.com's excellent game from years ago. It's fun.

As a principle, ‘You can just do things’ is both ‘broadly true, admirable, and helpful’ - and neoliberal, anti-social bullshit.

@jjvincent.bsky.social good on a phrase that's particularly buzzy in 9-9-6 grind Silicon Valley and EA communities.

The exhortation to “just do things” is in part a response to the specter of automation.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.
