Yeah, at a recent protest a group ended up singing "This Land is Your Land" and it was one aspect that felt especially damn good.

Time to deploy John Browns Body.

Doordash a lot more explicit form of one off commercial transaction. I find it much less harmful as everyone knows whats going on and it’s just another polite transaction. The creepy part of llm-chat bots is that it intends to replicate a deeply personal and toxic power dynamic.

I’m pretty sure I heard more parodies of that than the song itself.

Also, I have a weird fever dream/memory of people singing crude/edgy parodies of patriotic songs at the school lunch table around 06. Was that a thing?

Like: “This land is my land/only my land…”

It’s like the guy who configured an “editor chatbot” and immediately sexually harassed it. Thats these guys.

A lot of the AI stuff seems to have a similar vibe. The who “agent stuff”, a UI that copies bossing people around, and giving them hot women’s names gives off rancid fumes.

I really think this is why the subway looms so large in the conservative American mind. Because 99% of the time it is proof that the American experiment in diversity triumphs, as long as paranoid white people aren’t there

You can see on pg. 72 (77 pdf) the stat and appendix has market descriptions. The blackstone stuff was very silly but this looks much more like a cartel. Its still likely more of +10% rent in some markets with undersupply bing much bigger but I would love to see a trial.

RealPage makes more sense on my end. The FTC case had pretty good evidence they were setting prices for 29-60% of conventional units in some neighborhoods (think 100k residents). Thats enough to matter at first past. A scenario where 60% of buildings all raise rent at once is material IMO.

I want drone delivery so we can have IRL random loot drops. Like, shoot down drone and get random amazon order. Then get in a shootout with Amazon.

There were so many ads for that when I was in NYC. Seems terrible.
