We are not doing very well so far.
TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

It's hard to explain just how bad the leaked "Digital Omnibus" is, but this short video does a good job of it.
Imagine if someone so thoroughly lacquered from snorting slop while praying to Sam Altman were asked to edit a privacy law.

I think I have finally found a killer use case for AI:
I would like to use AI to detect which posts and comments were written using AI, and remove them from my feeds.
This would save a lot of time and frustration on all social networks.

This is a genuine "let them eat cake" moment.
I would not be surprised if this ends up with guillotines.
The big question is: whose heads will roll?

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.
