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.
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.

What a quote, Loukas. Relatedly, Babylon Berlin has updated Debord .. bsky.app/profile/louk...
"The Spectacle is the *autonomous movement of the non-living*." - Guy Debord
.. to 'fascism is the autonomous movement of the non-living': bsky.app/profile/neur... We are indeed about to see the dead parts of the system be debrided as never before ..
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.
AI comes as maggots and beetles to a corpse, to eat away the nonliving parts of the system: bsky.app/profile/marx...
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...

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

@sebastian.eurosky.social hey if u don't already have one, i think i found the eurosky anthem: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfJj... (Zaho de Sagazan by way of her great songs in Babylon Berlin S05)
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.
Subtitles for s05 of Tom Tykwer's time-loop scifi series 'Babylon Berlin'

'If the floral arrangement of milquetoast nothingburgers were an art form, they'd be keeping it with the Mona Lisa.'
The authoritarians are winning, we can all see that. Maybe, just maybe, it wouldn't be the worst thing if pro-democracy people stopped being ridiculously naive about social media. berjon.com/media-media/
