This is the result of 18+ years of deliberate anti-education. What I mean is that fundies have built an extensive parallel world of curriculum, books, movies, churches, etc. to cultivate the specific form of anti-scholarship we see right here in this paper. This is a very intentional outcome.

One of the "better" portrayals of humanoid robot infantry is arguably Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, where in the first level a platoon of humanoid robots renders the player character hors de combat and then proceeds to rip your arms off depicts this in the first person
fwiw I think lethal robot infantry, if/when we get there, will be uniquely bad because it’s much easier to make them do things human soldiers won’t do consistently

these stupid assholes think they’re going to be able to have a firefight in the morning, walk away from a cool explosion at lunch and take the family out to chili’s for dinner and I cannot stress enough that is not what civil war looks like

this is the first time I have seen a journalist say this, which is plainly correct.
i think a lot of people think of "slop" as following from the next-token prediction nature of how generative AI works, but i sort of think that the "slop"-ish qualities of genAI output can be chalked up way more to RLHF

The thing I am realizing about the American right is that the same information environment, self conceptions and incentives that have radicalized them have prevented them from being more effective in pursuing their radical reactionary aims.
They have to be stupid.

the thing about the 2024 electorate is that a smarter crowd would have used it to establish multiracial national populism
the Claremont crowd and the technocapitalist right are not that smart
the Claremont crowd and the technocapitalist right are not that smart
And they believe this even as they suddenly ran up big numbers among immigrants in 2024 by ads on foreign language media appealing to cultural conservatism and relentlessly lying on every other issue? They don't think they can just do that again?

This DHS post in a fashy font features the sizzle reel of the raid on the Chicago apartment building, set to a cover of “Jesus Walks,” a song by Ye…an artist originally from Chicago who is now best known for his “Christian,” pro-Hitler stance. Very subtle.

I wrote about the Olivia Nuzzi saga and how it reflects the voyeurism and indignity that drives so much of our media—social and otherwise.

American Freakshow: Our Reality TV-Driven Media Is Killing Our Democracy
The lurid details of Olivia Nuzzi's transgressions and the popularity of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives derive from the same culture of voyeurism.
