  • It’s been my worry for the past few weeks, tensions are so high and the administration is itching for the excuse to become even more heavy handed and draconian. I’m of the opinion this(not this moment but the full situation we find ourselves in) is all gonna end in massive violence one way or the other but I worry about this protest specifically because of how it’s been organized.

    Requiring full and and email to RSVP to it? And how they’ve been working alongside the cops to make sure it’s just a demonstration and not a proper disruption. To me that screams bad opsec at minimum and if just one of the protests gets violent the fascists will get that list and use it as an excuse to round folks up and scare the shit out of others who want to stand against them.

    I don’t want to tell people not to go, I went to pretty much every associated protest all summer in my area. But everyone should be extremely careful, don’t RSVP just show up, be wary of any bridges, and most importantly DONT BRING YOUR FUCKING PHONE










  • Elon needing to use an AI to engage in a creative activity is the perfect microcosm for the actual problem with how what they are calling “AI” is implemented. I don’t want to see a game made by AI, maybe using it for coding some of the underlying mechanisms but even those I think are made more interesting by a human solving a problem in an innovative way. Not only that I don’t want to see a movie, watch a tv show, read a book, or contemplate a piece of art created by AI in part or whole.

    Those are all things I engage with because another human being with a different human experience created it themselves and in the process of creating they’ve actively engaged with their own perspective. The business goblins that are shoehorning it into everything seem to think that humans just want the end product of a work of art because that’s all dumb business goblins want and can conceive of. But if I wrote a book by giving an AI a prompt, I didn’t write that book at all, it barely even qualifies as a book

    I want AI to do spreadsheets, automate scheduling coordination, cleaning, laundry, bills, taxes and all the other mind numbing tasks that come with our modern lives. They are doing it backwards




  • I think that if there are historians left to analyze this in 30 years they’ll probably drop the start line around the assassination of Charlie Kirk. There definitely are multiple different factions even within the conservative movement they haven’t completely turned on one another, the left is similarly at odds with itself.

    When we see the White House calling on generals to be prepared to invade American cities with the military, judge’s houses are being burned down after giving verdicts disliked for political inconvenience, Chicago, Portland, LA, DC are all seeing extreme escalations in state sanctioned violence, states sending their national guard to other states to quell chaos that isn’t there, and mass shootings nearly everyday, sometimes several. To me that’s civil war that’s started heating up.

    But if you’d rather call what were currently seeing and experiencing something like The Troubles in Ireland and wait until the conflict is even more overt feel free.
