Are we on the cusp of a New Renaissance?
I don't know if Adam Walker is right but I sure hope so!
Time to reject AI slop.
Time to reject brutalist architecture.
Yes money matters but time to reject prioritizing money over beauty and art in favour of cheap crap.

Currently we are seeing the highest level of bankruptcies in the USA since 2010 (since the great recession).
2026 might well be the year of a big market crash and a very severe recession (or depression).

That definition of art cannot be right. If the aliens come tomorrow and show us their art, are we going to tell them: "It's not really art because it's not human-made."

Are anti-AI people luddites? ... Or do we as humans sometimes collectively decide that we don't want a technology?
Atomic weapons haven't been used actively in warfare since WWII.
Human cloning is pretty much universally rejected (outside of research).
Any other examples?

Am I being too optimistic for thinking that the end of the nuclear age could happen fairly soon? If a nuclear power like Russia can get pummeled so hard by Ukraine, if being a nuclear power doesn't save you from this kind of total devastation, is it time to call those weapons useless?

Totally disgusting new BBC Maestro course where a fake Agatha Christie teaches you how she wrote. Part actress - part AI. Agatha Christie was in no position to consent to any of this. Can we stop faking everything with #AI, please?

I don't understand forcing people to use the AI tools at work. Just let people use whatever they want and fire the least performant ones. If your AI tools are so good, everyone who's not using them will be naturally fired. Are you that afraid face the reality?

Increasingly, the people you see in ads are not real people. They are #AI generated. Is that creepy? Or just the future we were promised?

cooking the world so our students can turn in papers that say “delve” and “rich tapestry”
Louisiana has to build three new natural gas power plants to accommodate the "AI" data center that Meta just crammed through because said center will use *Three Times* as much electricity (and, thus, attendant resources) as the *Entire City Of New Orleans*, every year.
Y'all this isn't sustainable.

Louisiana Public Service Commissioners voted four to one to approve Entergy’s three new gas plants to power Meta’s largest-ever data center.
