It's amazing how they're completely overestimating any public sympathy for this "AI" shit.

Like they did for NFTs.

And crypto.

And the metaverse.

And rich people.

It's no coincidence the average online right-wing nutjob gaming diet consists of three games a year which are 1 sports game, Call of Duty 45, and some gacha coomer shit. Perfectly comforting entertainment with nothing to say. Why would you try to cater to them with anything else? Not your target.

The problem has never been that good art can't exist under capitalism, it's that it can't solve capitalism.

And it's amazing how The Big Lebowski continues to be relevant at a point where people are continually displaying overinflated ideas of their own success and accomplishments.

Coming of age during the 2008 recession killed the last threads of innocence I may have had, and it took frequent introspection to stop myself going down dark paths.

I've said this since the 2008 recession, we're not in the Information Age; at best, we're in a precarious transitional period out of the Industrial era, that must be won by counter-indoctrination.

The obsession with being clever has lead people to see brilliance where there is only stupidity and malice.

Nicholas Grossman @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 8h

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

Yes. Because they are all very stupid, childish and imbecilic just like their Dear Leader. But the advantage that they have is that they sincerely believe in their bullshit where very many on the other side do not believe in anything beyond what they think is popular according to polls.

It's why I read my story out loud as I write, it gives me an idea of how characters talk, consistency of development, I even notice things I wasn't actively thinking about when I wrote it.
