one of the funnier aspects to the AI backlash is the fact that they're negatively polarizing much of the tech enthusiast demographic against them by making hobbyist PC building functionally unaffordable
Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

So much commentary on the right is just people making up stuff to get angry about.
No idea what telly Lord Sewell is watching, because I can't think of a single show with this plotline let alone it being something that is inescapable for young white men who subsequently now face a crisis of masculinity drawing them to the far right?? 🙃

Tomlinson makes clear that "ban Jews from the civil service and parliament" is his position.

It is a position that Harry Cole of the Sun & TalkTV will now promote as a legitimate contribution (albeit when emphasise banning Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, blacks and Asians + incidentally the Jews too)

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about

As well as having huge guts, the guy was smart enough to put his arm up and put the rifle down.

When the KAG case first started one of my EXTREMELY not-online/not-political close friends called me up one morning out of the blue to ask me "what can people do to help get that poor guy back from El Salvador." It was reaching tons of normies.
Not being able to realize that the KAG case was *horrible* for Trump's popularity due to be ideologically blinkered on an overly-specific version of political salience theory--that's when you could 100% tell Yglesias had gone off the rails (even if he still has something useful to say now & then).

The media is entirely responsible for Donald Trump in our lives and Elon Musk as well. Real engineers and scientists knew he was a moron long ago. I was told repeatedly by my brother and his nerds at JPL that Elon was a dolt. But tech press don't know shit either and access is the name of the game.
