“AI” isn’t a tool or technology or even a cluster of technologies with a misleading name. It’s the infrastructure at the foundation of a form of capitalism dependent on data brokering. We should be teaching our students about this and not teaching them about “responsible” use.

Writers are so far out of touch. Like we don’t understand, in a very serious and fundamental way.

Shocked but not surprised to learn how many ~titans of industry~ who probably think of themselves as brave ballsy businessmen are actually cowardly pieces of shit when it counts.

The way to do the Mamdani thing is not to copy the surface attributes of his communication pieces, it's to
1) know yourself
2) stand for something
3) understand and respect your audience
