“Capitalism”, “Communism”, and “anarcho-see-above" are dead arguments. The problem's always been the rich, their minions, and their scams.
Also, "AI" means "autoincorrect."
Scold sting stinger.

I think the new Knives Out needs a sequel, speaking as someone whose religious para-friends have consistently slipped on the "Just one more thing" banana peel as Columbo exits.

It's kind of funny how Hayek's (mostly correct) argument against central planning because concentrating that much economic power in one place inevitably lead to totalitarian behavior is also a pretty strong argument against like, extreme concentrations of wealth and market power

BBC's Arabic radio service in Lebanon closed after 85 years as part of a £28.5m savings drive. 'Just months later, in October 2023, the Russian state-owned Sputnik news agency took over the frequency. Its news bulletin opened with “This is Moscow”, replacing the previous “This is London” intro.' 🙄
BBC warns Russia is taking over World Service radio frequencies
Russian propaganda is filling the void where the BBC has closed World Service radio services due to cuts

Like, yes, I find all the political & policy elements grotesque. But it's also *aesthetically* so gross. I hate the way they talk, their cultural references, the way they dress, the art they like, the f'ing vehicles they drive ... I mean, it's crazy, how did they hit on literally everything I hate??

I’m in completely in agreement with you, I just meant that the whole pizzagate/qanon bullshit is exactly that: bullshit. It never had anything to do with adrenochrome harvesting or satanism or whatever nonsense they came up with. It’s just rich people doing what rich people have always done.

Pam Bondi makes a lot more sense if you stop thinking of her job as “being the Attorney General” and realize that it’s actually starring in a TV show whose audience is a lone senile psychopath.

SEVEN DAYS IN MAY opened in Columbia, SC and Jacksonville, FL (and probably elsewhere) on this day in 1964. It opened in DC on 2/14/64. It opened in NYC on 2/19 and Los Angeles on March 4, 1964. It opened in Chicago on 2/26/64.

I think what weirds me out about the parallels between the whole language debacle and the autocorrect database debacle of LLMs is that I wish there had been someone in the media in the 80s and the 90s to say yes, this institutionally mandated thing really is a dumbing down of existence, this time fr

Has the word “honky” ever actually been used outside era-specific magazine fiction or scare quotes?

Jfc, look, it toadallly was a lab leak, well, not so much of a lab leak from, like, a lab, because, gross, but from buried bodies from another global covid-like pandemic of 150 years ago and buried in mass graves in the permafrost. Just spitballing here.

Love how RFK Jr., nearing the final couple-few decades of his own life, is like, wait, did the treatment of vaguely autistic kids with heavy 1950s-era psych drugs maybe have something to do with the exploding prevalence and severity of autism cases… er, hm. Ok, what’s my cover story. Um. Keto? Keto.

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

I think this isn’t necessarily new physics, but there is always room for more descriptions of how the internal workings of black box systems can and cannot be weaseled out of the data. In other news, Sicherman dice pairs make interesting knickknacks.
