It's been obvious for like three years now that this tech was hitting the point of vastly diminishing returns on capability for exponentially increased cost in resources and it speaks to how dysfunctional the economy is that it took this long for major players to notice (or at least to admit it)
We don’t need talkers right now. We need fighters.
And no matter how many times they knock me down, I’ll get back up and fight with you. Every. Single. Time.
I don't even mean Not Going To Cut It as any sort of I Am A Judge At This Gate, it's just not a self-sustainable ethos for its adherents to remain sane under
Liberals are going crackpot realist on us, NO YOU MUST ADHERE TO MY NARROW REALITY, as an ethos for organizing a progressive political project, just isn't going to cut it
The way this assumes there is a "Serious" base from which things HAVE to operate or else be disposed of just surrenders the joy of human imagination and leisure to a cold dead god of efficiency
BREAKING: Local Intellectual Discovers Fiction
I see someone didn’t see Orange Cassidy speaking eloquently about the impacts of climate change and the estimated 40% of Americans who live in coastal communities
I hate musical theater it's like ... real people don't just break into song whenever they have a big thought. It's cosplaying as a real play and shorthanding the dialog and subtext into songs. I am very smart to think this.
Postmodernist here! I think you might be underestimating how much Baudrillard loves to be sarcastic. From the perspective of simulation, Trump doesn't care about the outcome - he's simply making the next move that confirms his narrative to his audience. Their captured attention is all he needs.
"It is crucial that both business and science operate on methods that are replicable every time" and "AI is a train that we have to get on right now and burn vast amounts of resources to enable" are thoughts that exist in many people's heads simultaneously. Cognitive dissonance ascendant.
Noticing since I deactivated my X account instead of getting sucked into posts in my downtime I end up popping an issue of a comic book or a short story - just walked through The General Zapped An Angel in two days, caught up on them Absolute Books and Ryan North Fantastic Four. Build bridges out.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
THE GENERAL ZAPPED AN ANGEL by Howard Fast Four stories in and so far THE VISION OF MILTY BOIL has been a standout
Being 9 short stories across 130ish pages THE GENERAL ZAPPED AN ANGEL has been a brisk read - Howard Fast was so angry and bites hard with the sarcasm, clearly pointed in earnest.
Hell Yeah

The Master smack dab in the middle is the pinnacle of an epoch, postwar prosperity enabling the purchase of whatever God you want
In this essay I’ll argue that Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood and Licorice Pizza can be read together as marking the beginning and the end of the golden age of American petro-capitalism
I think we gotta ____ ____ ___
just heard a guy on youtube say "in the grand scream of things"
Golden Age Superman stands head to thigh alone in a panel black at the top and red on the bottom where Superman stands pointing at the reader as he says, "Be wary of unscrupulous operators of gambling games--they are always on the look out for unsuspecting victims."
This would be really bad at the best of times. On the cusp of a major spike in costs brought about by increases in oil prices its downright chilling.
Really tired of people thinking, saying, and posting shit like "Where are the Republicans?!" as if somehow we're all on the same team here, and they're just momentarily distracted - soon to come to their senses.
The West Wing cooked a generation's brains, y'all.

Funny that you heard a bunch of conspiracy theories about 5G being dangerous but it rolled out with seemingly no dangers whereas those same cranks have nothing to say about AI
