I genuinely believe he has lost the ability to distinguish between his own bank account, flush with plundered cash and bribe money and insider trading bets, and the bank accounts of everyone else.

Unlike my opponent, I come from the communities that have felt the brunt of this system. Lived experience is what drives me to do this work. Never before has Hennepin County had the chance to elect a leader with such close proximity to the issues effecting working families of Hennepin County.

What Molyneux is describing here is a broken process where he doesn't know how to brief an artist. And that's the appeal of AI for these dudes, right, you get to be a vague, visionless, indecisive wretch as a director but at a machine that doesn't care.

Mike Cook@mtrc.bsky.social

I appreciate the bar is quite low but this excerpt from an interview with Molyneux about AI is almost too on the nose. Nice anecdote about a colleague he used to respect and enjoy working with, followed by an explanation of how him and everyone like him is now expendable.

Expensive goods changing hands without consideration is one of those blaring lights you look for when investigating public corruption. It means the giver is expecting something other than money from the receiver.

That’s a staggering fact to take in: About 1/3 of U.S. counties are now contractually partnered with ICE—to say nothing of all the counties assisting ICE more informally. I wrote recently about what this type of collaboration can do to communities: boltsmag.org/frederick-co...
