in a different and better trouser of time, AI stands for "attaché intelligence," and it scares people as much as our AI does in this timeline. the big difference (setting aside the number of legs involved) is that in their universe, that fear also involves some respect
you know Silicon Valley has lost the juice because it hasn’t occurred to any of them that they could use robot dogs to re-create Terry Pratchett’s autonomous luggage that both carries your stuff and brutalizes your enemies

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.
one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny
It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

also by shooting people. that's especially unsafe, I feel
By refusing to coordinate with local law enforcement, ICE is not making our community safe. It is making it less safe.

chose this particular morning not to check social media. unrelated, has anyone else recently developed a new and deeper understanding of this scene
a man in a suit is carrying a stack of pizza boxes .
Alt: TROY PIZZA DOT GIF. the automatic alt text provided described this as "a man in a suit is carrying a stack of pizza boxes." but while this is strictly speaking accurate, it does not, i feel, capture the truth of the scene. troy from community, played by donald glover, enters a room cheerfully holding a stack of pizza boxes. but his face falls into horrified dismay as the view pans out and reveals the room is on fire, with someone actively swinging a flaming shirt.
