The enemy is always aristocracy. It changes shape to fit whatever society we’re in, but the desire for it is endemic for certain types of people. You must learn to hate it as much as it hates you.

Hey! I’m CEO of a company that has just raised $10 billion for an app that takes the hard work out of enjoying music. Did you know, some people waste hours each day listening to “tunes”. Our AI will listen to it for you and summarise it in a 15 second scream leaving you more time to focus on what's really important in life: adding value.

Everyone laughs and laughs at cats getting into boxes, but if you put a chair-height cube in a room with a human they will sit on it.

So, who is manipulated by the box now?

So is Cat Mastodon full of photos of humans just sitting atop of stuff?

"MAGA Republicans may have ended the shutdown standoff by luring eight feckless Senate Democrats to reopen the government without addressing the MAGA-induced healthcare crisis, but Republicans are still well on their way to losing the healthcare issue, and in turn setting themselves up for a sweeping defeat in the midterms."

Bounty: has Hank Green ever platformed a non-white male, or has gushed over a non-white male in the tech/AI space who speaks about material harms caused by AI that's not "AI will become a god one day!"

Because I cannot find an example.

Whatever we may feel about AI and its longterm usefulness, we can agree that #Anthropic and #OpenAI's regulatory capture strategy to kill #OpenSource doesn't benefit anyone but these companies.

We don't need another telecommunications style monopoly. We don't want OpenAI to become the Comcast of AI.

Why, then, is Hank Green pushing #AIDoomerism to his largely #Liberal audience?

I wrote about it here.

This post will not appear in the timeline of most Pixelfed users.

Because considered at "not pretty enough" for them (despite the great illustration by @davidrevoy )

It worth asking the question:

Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on?

Was talking with a friend a few months ago about Alan Dye and how he even got that job to begin with, and I said this: “But like there’s Steve Lemay or Patrick Coffman, and neither of them got this job for some reason.”

Anyway, it’s great that Lemay finally got the job.
