There is a perverse irony that the exact systems that could, possibly, lift humanity out of the chains of the work to survive system and into something better are being loudly decried as evil by most of the left, who should be ideologically sympathetic to that outcome, while being championed...

...would be that if the working class could just seize it from the capitalists, the struggle would be done and won. But I don't think the modern left has that aspiration left in it. Too much of it is built on cultish factionalism and grievances. The idea that we can actually make the world...

I'm just going to be honest here. If you haven't actually talked with a frontier AI in the last month or two at its high tier of capacity, your views on what AI can and can't do and whether or not they can or cannot think, plan, be creative, whatever, are irrelevant.

So... The new Deepseek looks like it's precisely one step behind the latest closed source models. And people who don't really follow AI might not get that that means it is where those models were... A month ago to half a month ago. Anyone not actively engaged in the space has... No idea at all...

...AI company could get Thanos snapped out of existence, and it would set back the cutting edge of available AI capacity by... A month, tops. And China *will not stop* here. They *cannot*. AI and robotics is *existential* to the survival of their economy and government. They *have* to replace...

Understanding what Senate Dem leadership was apparently thinking makes this all so, so much worse. That they expected to get blamed for the shutdown, so they could use their tanking poll numbers to 'justify' ACA cuts, that they never had **ANY** even idea of 'victory', just a thing to do to get...

By all means, vote in the Democratic primaries. Vote for people that are not these incumbent collaborators. But if those same people who have Trump's acts on their hands win primaries? I'm not voting for them. "But then Republicans might win!!" Good. I'd rather have someone that will say they...

...want to destroy us win, then people who lie about carrying but then do nothing to stop what's happening, who actually enable it while whining about how it's bad but they can't stop it. I'm done with these people. I hope many other people are too. I hope the current geretocractic Democratic...

I think a core issue with a lot of the Democratic leadership is that they are not what we need right now. A lot of them have been serving for a very, very long time. And while they certainly were involved in the overall rot that led us to this moment, in the decades of expediency over doing hard...

...years ago is not going to work. This isn't a little bit different point of view to be compromised with. This is a nihilistic cult that has to be treated as inherently untrustworthy and utterly incapable of acting in a reasonable, logical, or sane manner. Trying to act the same way they have...

...that no longer exists. The age of compromise, the age when Republicans might have different values and points of view but could, if one was being fair, be said to, at least by and large, be, themselves, trying to do what they felt was best for the country is now gone. It's dead. The...

...work that has corroded our government and socio-political environment, they did the best they probably could have. They are not 'great leaders', they do not have and never have had that 'inner fire' that allows some people to grab the train of history and wrench it onto a different path, and...

🤣😂 And they just blocked me. Honestly hilarious. On a personal level. On a political level, it's why the Dems are absolutely cooked as a party. But it's deeply funny that the response of a person pushing a political point of view, in public, on social media, to any pushback, is simply to refuse...

...MY fault what they are going to do with it'? Extra blocked! Triple blocked! How DARE you critique your betters. 😂 Good luck to the people running the Democratic party. People already hate you, and they will only hate you more. Then they will turn to exactly the more radical people you fear far...

They know better, you see. They are the technocratic elite, and their consultants from DC and NYC provide all of the 'feedback' they will ever need. What, those people live in a closed loop ecosystem with huge companies that bleed the people dry? Blocked! What, you don't think oppressed...

To be honest, I really don't buy the argument that AI won't be successful in making things like movies and TV shows. It almost certainly will. Not because I think it will be 'good art'. All of the things that people say AI can't do well, the depth of story, of acting, of 'humanity', of creativity.

But they will consume the Product, AI or not. So it will be used. Will there be non-AI stuff? Sure. In the same way there is good stuff now. It will be the far minority, and people will laugh it... While mostly consuming AI slop that will replace non-AI slop.

And yeah. AI *will* be able to make stuff that good in a year or two. So companies will use it, and use it *a lot*. And people watch it, in so much as they 'watch' most of this trash today. Oh, they might say they won't. Just like people say they would pay more for something made in the US.

Even assuming that's true... Have you watched a TV show or movie made in the last five years? Not the best ones. Not the handful that are lauded as great. I mean the bulk of it. The vast majority. It's already absolutely void of those things. Entertainment companies don't need AI to make 'slip'.
