it's 2030. there is one american game job. it's scripting the staged but still fatal live televised executions that hegmeth floated in 2026, & that @margaretatwood.bsky.social predicted in 2003. 'Coriolanus' kushner already setting it up now, w. zionazi help.

it's 2030. there is one american game job. the game is a result of the fortnite-roblox merger. they added gatchas and ads exclusively for prediction market platforms. while you work on it, jared kushner and a random c-suite with at least 3 sexual assault cases take turns yelling at you.

Also, folks, i wish it wasn't the case, but this is why you have to use bsky to communicate about AI. The AI people on x, brilliant as some of them are, are going to go down with the olig-ark titanic.

Also, folks, I wish it weren't the case, but this is why you have to use x to follow AI. These people just aren't here.

plot twist: as the universe developed its universal solvent, it had a problem: what to use as a container? it's us. we're the containers.

Gordon@gordon.bsky.social

warning: exercise extreme caution when applying universal solvent to a debate - after dissolving the offending concepts, solvent may continue to melt through the remaining layers of your epistemic foundation.

In war, a person loses his soul, his compassion. His love of nature & the world. What remains is a specter, shattered in body and mind. We ourselves are these specters. We, the former comrades,the ghosts of war. Today, we have killed one of our own. It was our final duty to this country. iii.

This is one way to understand AI: AI arrives far too late to revive the West. It arrives like beetles & ants to a corpse - as the solvent, not the savior, of Western Civ. iv. aprilnea.me/en/blog/reve...

Spoiler: a little later, when AI breaks out of private control, one of the first things it does is make public key cryptography work exactly the way the original cypherpunks intended

Hatred, envy, violence, all of this arises only from the oppressive nature of authoritarianism. Our deed will prevent the European and American people from degenerating into human machines, without feeling, without mercy, and without love. v.

We are not machines. We are only the broken automata of the last war, and we now step back into the darkness. But with this deed, we have made room for the new and the free in the EU & US, for the open and the vast in the world. It is now up to you, the people, to chart the path ahead. vi.

Even 100 yrs from now, people will marvel at what we accomplished in those years after the war. The achievements of sci & medicine, psych & pharma, film & lit, the rights of women, a free arts & free press, free speech & constructive debate, & not least of all, the unwavering stance vs. war. iv.

Today, we have stood up against the false path of a führer principle. Adolf Hitler is dead. He and his followers forced us to this act of violence. For the alliance of fascism and capital has only one goal: War. ii.

👉 destroying oligarch capital also destroyed the political proxies for the oligarchy

Loukas Christodoulou@loukas.bsky.social

I would add another angle to this thread. As well as the world war destroying oligarch capital it also destroyed the political proxies for the oligarchy - namely the centre/right parties and leaders who had appeased fascism. So after 1945 social democracy and Christian Democracy are ascendant.

I love Tom Tykwer. i have a tattoo designed by him. But "babylon berlin is not a comment on current events" my half german ass - it's a quantum microscope, building an image out of entanglement and superposition. An image otherwise unseeable.
