The president is demanding that Republican Senate candidates stand next to him at rallies where he talks about asses (mostly one man’s) and brags about making gas prices higher. If his candidates lose, it’s because the elections were rigged.

This is not neutrality; this is favoring one group over another. Kaplan (and Zuckerberg, and Facebook) define "neutrality" as ensuring (at least!) equal outcomes for conservatives regardless of merit, because that's what the conservative movement does. It's grotesque for Platformer to play along.

This 👇 Surveillance is not just bad; it's unworkable. Every new phone is riddled with apps that add no (minus) value, whose primary purpose is to surveille you. An AI assistant in background with God-unknown privileges. A security nightmare. And my father must learn to navigate this shit in his 90s

These are the technopolitics of *surveillance*, not ads. There is nothing about advertising that demands surveillance. For centuries, advertising was not meaningfully linked to surveillance. The decision to fuse surveillance with advertising was just that - a *decision*, not an inevitability.

Think of everything that could have happened in the name of progress if we weren't fighting with MAGA daily for the past decade. Get Pedolf Shitler the hell out of the Oval Office. We can do so much better than a child-raping fuckwit as president.

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

i was fortunate enough to profile Margaret Hamilton in 2019. A really kind and curious person. This was my favorite story she told me:

Basically, he didn’t like it that striving Jews in NY started exceeding the % at Harvard that he in his infinite wisdom deemed fit. My dad was admitted in 1936 under the quota system & faced open antisemitism. A beloved prof, Ben Schwartz, endured yrs of ”genteel“ antisemitism in the history dept.
