Just put out a new documentary about how capitalists took over because automation made the feudal aristocracy obsolete. Now they're doing the same thing to themselves with AI. youtu.be/Ci-Mm_TUS0E

This behavior is deranged, insanely entitled, abusive, and absolutely alienating to any and all causes it supposes to support.

People saying Jason Arday "wasn't a victim" are wrong. He was a victim that, by the standards he personally agreed to in becoming an academic, did a lot of wrong, but hounding a guy to death is hounding a guy to death.

Not only is AI less than 1/5 of all data center electricity, but even just the consumer side of online video is way more as well. If these people really cared about the environmental impact, online video would be the issue.

Actual exchange I read on Bluesky in 2026 OP: "Datacenters? More like CONCENTRATION CAMPS." reply: "We already have concentration camps with ICE." OP: "These are going to be even worse."

Can we please be done with "enshitification"? It's so freaking naive to think, "Oh, things suck NOW because companies NO LONGER care about the customer, JUST PROFIT."

Yo @hankgreen.bsky.social: you cannot apologize to the mob. It's a moral panic you've been giving lip service to. You have to move past it and stop caring about it. Also, start making the fight about who owns it. That's the real fight. All of the issues are downstream of that.

Ay @bigjoel.bsky.social I done talked about yesterday. Actually landed on noting I respect just saying what you think despite what your audience might want you to say. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IO5_...

Strange Bedfellows

This was what I told you for years, folks. It's about intellectual property. Look at every single video you people have been mad about, I said it was about intellectual property in it. It's about intellectual property.

How much water does AI really use?

update i’m now seeing the left image being posted by self described “communists” as an aspirational meme

"I will never say 'lunatic,' I will only use approved language, but I will shit on actually helpful tools for neurodivergent people!"

Reactionary left nonsense. George Lucas isn't a "tech bro" lol You're literally saying "being a reactionary is good"

I guess we have to make the case that looms are good because the reactionary left is now doing this shit. Jesus Christ

Fucking Dumb Signifier and Bad Manamana (do doooooo do do do) selectively applying a standard to a political enemy. Everything everyone makes is paid for with blood money.

If a film is good, it’s not horror. If the person set out to make a horror film and makes a good film, they failed to make a horror film.

Live from the White House Press Room

Photos from the altercation at the White House Correspondents Dinner are finally emerging:

Kamala would have done it too. The difference is that Trump doing it is a broken campaign promise; the Democrats didn't even bother lying to us. Pretty pathetic the thing that wins elections is "being the one who bothers to lie."

Outputs are assets, not finished products.

lol 90s Hillary Clinton over here

Let's do this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtQ9...

WHAT DID I SAY PEOPLE petercoffin.substack.com/p/luigi-mang...

A parade is not a General Strike. Are they still out there because ICE still exists? Is commerce frozen until ICE is disbanded? Strikes have demands and they don’t stop until they are met or negotiated with.

It’s a Preview Weekend for my new doc. It’s available until monday and then it won’t be back until 2026. Watch today or tomorrow! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LLs...

If you've been through grade school and heard the words "water cycle," you should already understand this. But still: andymasley.substack.com/p/the-ai-wat...

By cheering people getting shot for talking, you are asking to get shot for talking.

Trademarking my brilliant new business idea, Third Place Coffee. Posh liberals will fall over themselves to pay $3 more vs. Starbucks to subsidize the people who don't want (or can't buy) coffee to have a Third Place!!

"It's the trans" is a stupid response to mass shootings

This one small trick drives people who obsessively hate AI crazy! You can make an em dash—which vastly improves readability for normal, not-insane people—by holding Alt and typing 0151 on the number pad on Windows and holding Option and Shift and pressing Hyphen on Mac!

While I see "left" as "the same thing but ideologically believe they are against the things that they ultimately materially support" I think this is still interesting on account left wing AI hate posits it as "right wing." reddit.com/r/DefendingA...

We're finalizing songs for That Darn Racket and I am really excited to put the album out. Someone sent me this video from @mothcub.bsky.social last weekend and I challenge you to review my album when it's out July 20. Includes a pro produced Gimme more 😊 www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFae...

Ethics is the practice of finding justifications to do things that contradict your worldview (NOT the practice of having reasons to do only things that conform to your worldview). It is a useless practice and a total waste of time.

The JK Rowling Effect Cancel Culture’s Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Getting The Monster You Asked For

Avila Gets It: The Real Fight Isn’t About AI—It’s About Control I really enjoyed Alex Avila's new video and I am extremely happy he made it. My opinion and his overlap significantly: petercoffin.substack.com/p/plato-is-s...

The Right is reactionary—and so is The Left. The idea you could call the rejection of technology that creates abundance (a necessary condition for socialism) anything but the same kind of pining for simpler times they associate with fascism (whatever they think it is) is absurd.

I've tried to articulate this and if you do YouTube you absolutely should watch it right now: youtube.com/watch?v=pvlR... (I told you that causing a ruckus on Twitter works, it's like the only thing you can do without knowing someone, seriously watch this)

It's not a privilege to be somewhat less disadvantaged—though it's important to acknowledge. It's a privilege to rule over everyone else, and a small percentage of people from all races is in the ruling class.

If Britbongers are going to talk about ~Indians being colonized~, maybe they could/should talk about the ones from India more? Or does that Royal Crown money direct these types a bit? 👀

The bad guys are always the ones telling you that you're morally and intellectually superior if you agree with them. (note: the bad guys can be on either side of an issue; their argument is the worst one and you should reject them and their tactics regardless of your position)
