Reminds me of Guy Debord's remark: "The spectacle is the guardian of sleep."

This is kind of amazing; a CATO institute article attacking Trump’s EO on antifa

George Orwell, one of the most well-known antifascists of the last century, is undoubtedly rolling over in his grave right now.

This technology is so clearly designed to profit off cheating and struggling students--its insidious. And yet universities keep announcing how they're allowing this company into its midst, to exploit and incapacitate our students even more
A photo from Jamie Keller Davis for the NYT: a color photo of a Chicago skyline showing three buildings photographed from street level. The one in the center has brown brick-like walls, and a very large poster advertising ChatGPT. The poster shows a conversation between a hypothetical student and ChatGPT: "Can you quiz me on the muscles of the leg?" "Can you build me a first time marathon training plan?" The text at the bottom of the poster reads: "ChatGPT Plus is free during finals.

I think capital-S Stoicism is poisonous -- a doctrine for philosophical emperors and their submissive slaves, absolutely inimical to any kind of social justice. Lowercase-s stoicism is sometimes useful, though, for justice-seeking people trapped in Empires.

In my reading, fiction and non-fiction, I am always looking for allies. I suppose that entails looking out for my enemies as well.

Just wondering why I would want a technology whose "grandest promises" include destroying the need for human creativity and creating a new class of enslaved people trapped inside data centers controlled by oligarchs
