Incumbents gotta go. Regulation needs to be embraced at every level of government. Anti-corruption is the only way we survive. Fight for it.
Right now, though ... our economy is about so suffer greatly so like 2,000 douchebags can afford a third house.
Brace yourselves.

This, like the flat and possibly declining price of oil, shows how we're in a phantom economy.
Businesses saw a way to lie about layoffs without worrying investors, so they lied. All those big big numbers making line go up are a fantasy.

AI layoffs are looking more and more like corporate fiction that's masking a darker reality, Oxford Economics suggests | Fortune
"Firms don't appear to be replacing workers with AI on a significant scale," the firm said. It suspects some are trying to "dress up layoffs" as good news.

Growing up in Texas in the 2000s made anti-immigration fear mongering not work on me because I'd hear adults and politicians describe the most horrific war zone imaginable, evil criminals crossing the border into your country to do violence... but I could step outside and see everything was *fine*

It's why I get angry whenever I see Dems saying that ICE just needs to be reformed. Because what you're saying is a secret force being used to detain people in detention centers and separate them from their families is a necessary evil for the crime of not having all proper immigration paperwork

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time.
Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief.
Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time.

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

Increasingly feels like we're entering a new warlord era, with Russia and the US just taking whatever they want from countries that don't have nukes. If you aren't nuclear-capable, you simply aren't viewed as a sovereign country. Your resources, your leader, all can just be taken freely.

Our society will be judged by what happens to Elon Musk. Between the USAID cuts likely killing millions of people over the next five years, and him releasing a fucking CSAM machine, he needs to go to prison, or vigilantism is the only option, and I presume that's something the powerful want to avoid
I don't think my suggestion of "Strap every AI CEO into a big centrifuge, spin it up, then toss in a brick" is an unreasonable one.
This does seem just a little bit bad! Idk the sort of thing you’d think politicians might distance themselves from or something!

People who try to shill AI on the backs of the disabled are lower-than-low trash humans exploiting people who never asked for this bullshit to make a quick buck. It is so profoundly insulting to the disabled to assume they need the plagiarism machine to make stuff. I find it deeply offensive.
Ive been blocked by some pro-gAI academics on here who think Im "ableist" for refusing to allow gAI in my classrooms, but the thing is I do fundamentally believe that we make a moral statement when we decide to teach students that they must rely on this kind of theft to read, write and think.
This is a great example of how genAI steals from us all on multiple levels. It's stolen a promotional spot for real books and authors, it's stolen a job from an actual journalist who could have compiled this, it's stolen an opportunity for parents to be recommended good NZ books for their kids

It would also go a long way in explaining why generative AI has found such a foothold with fascists - it's a tool of power consolidation, sure, but it's also a tool to hurt and attempt to replace those who can make things that resonate with people in ways they could never.
