The issue with a lot of Star Wars fans is that they actively hate anything that doesn’t conform to their worldview.
A lot of them would SUPPORT the empire, they just have some libertarian fantasies of being in opposition.

Just watched a video they worded “we didn’t use any AI, it’s all hand drawn.” and thought how much of a flex that statement is.
Drawn by a human that dedicated years of their life to develop their understanding, skill and aesthetic. Of course that would be more valuable than AI shlop.

it has been said before but one problem is that when some people say 'the economy' they're talking about poor people affording food and housing, & when some other people say 'the economy' they're referring to a chart of how happy rich people are

Using AI to produce writing or art is like asking someone at the gym to lift weights for you.
The effort is the point.

low-key one of the most insidious dumb guy beliefs of the last few decades to gain widespread purchase has been this notion that demonstrating pro-social behavior in the hope that others would notice and mirror it, one of the fucking building blocks of any kind of society, is somehow ‘fake’.

strong argument that this bit from Satre's Anti-Semite and Jew is the key to understanding Trumpism: it is a joke, and the joke is precisely that you are required to take them seriously

I think antitrust is not enough to deal with the tech industry. We need - and I know this era isn't one where we get it - a digital EPA, with quality standards for apps/digital services with personal liability for executives and real, meaningful mechanisms to force companies to stop hurting people.
