My wife and I watched the #StrangerThings finale last night. Overall I liked it and thought it was well done. I also thought it was too long, but I can understand that after making this show for so many years, all the threads deserved to be wrapped up.

"he's not really targeting criminals" makes it an argument about criminality
"this is a fascist attack" states what is actually happening

It was never really about cutting overall spending - that was the grift. It was destroying disliked programs, securing lucrative contracts, stealing valuable data, and further decreasing trust in government - all of which were quite successful

Remember:
When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them.
When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips.
ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides
Adam Raine’s life hurtled toward tragedy soon after he began talking with ChatGPT about homework. Analysis of his ChatGPT account shows how the chatbot became a confidant as he planned to end his life.

A person who lives according to a truth you've told may have been compelled by the truth, not you.
But to force a person to live according to your lie means you are the one who compelled them.
The more obvious the lie, the more obvious your domination.
So fascists prefer obvious lies.

Epstein redactions aren't believable, and they are valuable to fascists specifically because they aren't believable.
Fascists prefer lies to truth. Believing in a lie is preferable to believing a truth, if what you want is to dominate.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

This is the paradox: the "AI" bubble is based on hype. It's not about creating useful things. It's about hype to inflate stock.
If the public resists the hype, then line does not go up.
So they hype harder and harder, repelling most people with their hard sell tactics.
It's a downward spiral.

Our kitchen sink drain was clogged for 2 days until last night. It resolved itself numerous hours after the plumber called it quits for the day and left. Idk wtf is going on, but I'm willing to call it a Hanukkah miracle, clean up my kitchen, and get on with my life.

I watched "Alien Vs Predator: Requiem" 2 days ago, and "Predators" yesterday. The former was mediocre at best, the latter kicked ass most of the way through. What a cast.
Next up, I believe, is The Predator.
