Running Man (2025) is an inconsequential film. Another example of fake anti-corporate messaging from Hollywood.
Not bad as such but it did not engage me. Not even the bits with zines.

'Even treatments for precocious puberty, which use the very same puberty blockers, have limited long-term data on psychosocial outcomes. In all these cases, the safety profile is considered acceptable, and no one demands high-certainty mental health evidence for their use.'

Dass die US-Regierung der Ukraine Kapitulationbedingungen mit russischen maximal Forderungen aufzwingen wollen und nebenbei die NATO komplett in Frage stellen, markiert das endgültige Ende der pax americana und den diplomatischen Sieg einer imperialistischen Regionalmacht über die Supermacht USA.

Well. The USA are no arbiter anymore.
"Countries with state subsidies for abortion, transgender-friendly policies for children, hate speech laws and affirmative action policies will now be considered to be violating human rights under rules imposed at the [US] State Department..."

Poor Nigel Farage.

Just when he wants to pretend Reform is patriotic, his colleague & party member Nathan Gill is convicted of taking bribes to be a Russian shill.

Now яeform will always be the treasonous Putin Party.

So please don’t share these photos far & wide, he would REALLY hate that.

I've written about "disordered counterpublics" groups that reinforce shared delusions Here, the LLM becomes a 1 person counterpublic. It mirrors assumptions, absorbs contradictions, & provides the sense of a responsive, confirming audience.
It is the architecture of disordered discourse, automated.

I don't deny that dogs can sometimes be quite lovely but what I will say is I don't trust their opinions. If a cat recommended me an album it had bought, I'd totally check it out. If a dog did the same, I'd promise to listen to the album, out of politeness, with no intention of actually doing so

Yes. The creeping feeling that the AI bubble will burst before anyone’s life has been revolutionised.
NEW: Welcome to the Great AI Bubble. Yes, it’s here. And yes, it’s going to burst.

It’s also got way more in common with the Epstein scandal than you really want to know.
