Only way to win is not to play!
Or, as I told @kameronhurley.com on the weekend: Social media has become an experience of cosmic horror as we stare into the abyss of our neighbour’s heart, and the undying creatures waiting in the outer darkness (hedge fund managers) have learnt how to harness and feed on the madness that ensues.
I’ve been talking and thinking about this for a decade. We’re not equipped to deal with this level of fast communication and fire hose of minute-by-minute mis/info, while also dealing with the pressures of late-stage capitalism, and I don’t think any class is spared.

This is absolutely batshit and amazing. I didn’t even know that some ant species have to mate with a different species to produce workers (!!!) but they are literally mating with another species, ripping out their own DNA, and producing a clone of the male they mates with. That is NUTS
The weird new ant paper that shows queens laying eggs of a completely different species has me thinking that more species are probably cloning sperm in their spermathecae than we’d thought.

After all, most queens only mate once and cloning would be a great mechanism for keeping the party going.

Just wondering why I would want a technology whose "grandest promises" include destroying the need for human creativity and creating a new class of enslaved people trapped inside data centers controlled by oligarchs

Several thoughtful comments on how the methodology is overly oriented around reading books in particular. I don't think that's wrong, but let me confess my snooty view that quite simply there is nothing better under the sun than a book.
