there is a guy on my train having a loud phone argument with what sounds like a partner about potential infidelity and he keeps yelling, "HOW AM I LYING?"

y’all have spent weeks and months debating the dumbest fucking freshman bong-rip shit and engaging with All The Lore the least-fuckable group of swingers on earth ffs. it’s really not interesting beyond “politicians need to not listen to any of these people and should probably eradicate them”

sure. he has retrofitted a model of artificial intelligence which is mathematically impossible in order to speak about artificial intelligence which actually exists, then used a metaphysics which is so insane that it is virtually impossible to explain to another person to predict doom.

Every thinkpiece about how to fix college is just a galaxy-brained attempt to avoid the one solution that everyone agrees on, which is to fund college.

wherever we end up with those tools, there will absolutely be art that plays on the visuals of AI slop. there already is, frankly. that's inevitable, that's how humans are wired to respond to art, and treating it the same as the AI art itself will be a catastrophic and out of touch misread

Those who attend the introductory courses are then presented with a pamphlet that includes several options, all upwards of $10,000, with some reaching as high as $50,000, *to receive what is framed as mentorship and coaching on how to succeed in the stock market or flipping real estate.* Central to Life Surge’s message is that achieving financial success can help advance the mission of Christianity.

started listening to the audiobook of The Making of the Atomic Bomb by richard rhodes on my walks and came across the Death Machine passage this morning. still hits like a hammer 15 years after I first read it. my GOAT will never be washed
“The machine gun mechanized war. Artillery and gas mechanized war. They were the hardware of the war, the tools. But they were only proximately the mechanism of the slaughter. The ultimate mechanism was a method of organization—anachronistically speaking, a software package.376 “The basic lever,” the writer Gil Elliot comments, “was the conscription law, which made vast numbers of men available for military service.377 The civil machinery which ensured the carrying out of this law, and the military organization which turned numbers of men into battalions and divisions, were each founded on a bureaucracy. The production of resources, in particular guns and ammunition, was a matter for civil organization. The movement of men and resources to the front, and the trench system of defence, were military concerns.” Each interlocking system was logical in itself and each system could be rationalized by those who worked it and moved through it. Thus, Elliot demonstrates, “It is reasonable to obey the law, it is good to organize well, it is ingenious to devise guns of high technical capacity, it is sensible to shelter human beings against massive firepower by putting them in protective trenches.”

“What was the purpose of this complex organization? Officially it was supposed to save civilization, protect the rights of small democracies, demonstrate the superiority of Teutonic culture, beat the dirty Hun, beat the arrogant British, what have you. But the men caught in the middle came to glimpse a darker truth. “The War had become undisguisedly mechanical and inhuman,” Siegfried Sassoon allows a fictional infantry officer to see. “What in earlier days had been drafts of volunteers were now droves of victims.”378 Men on every front independently discovered their victimization. Awareness intensified as the war dragged”“on. In Russia it exploded in revolution. In Germany it motivated desertions and surrenders. Among the French it led to mutinies in the front lines. Among the British it fostered malingering.Whatever its ostensible purpose, the end result of the complex organization that was the efficient software of the Great War was the manufacture of corpses. This essentially industrial operation was fantasized by the generals as a “strategy of attrition.” The British tried to kill Germans, the Germans tried to kill British and French and so on, a “strategy” so familiar by now that it almost sounds normal. It was not normal in Europe before 1914 and no one in authority expected it to evolve, despite the pioneering lessons of the American Civil War. Once the trenches were in place, the long grave already dug (John Masefield’s bitterly ironic phrase), then the war stalemated and death-making overwhelmed any rational response.379 “The war machine,” concludes Elliot, “rooted in law, organization, production,”

“movement, science, technical ingenuity, with its product of six thousand deaths a day over a period of 1,500 days, was the permanent and realistic factor, impervious to fantasy, only slightly altered by human variation.”380No human institution, Elliot stresses, was sufficiently strong to resist the death machine.381 A new mechanism, the tank, ended the stalemate. An old mechanism, the blockade, choked off the German supply of food and matériel. The increasing rebelliousness of the foot soldiers threatened the security of the bureaucrats. Or the death machine worked too well, as against France, and began to run out of raw material. The Yanks came over with their sleeves rolled up, an untrenched continent behind them where the trees were not hung with entrails. The war putrified to a close.But the death machine had only sampled a vast new source of raw material: the civilians behind the lines. It had not yet evolved equipment efficient to process them, only big gunsand clumsy biplane bombers. It had not yet evolved the necessary rationale that old people and women and children are combatants equally with armed and uniformed young men. That is why, despite its sickening squalor and brutality, the Great War looks so innocent to modern eyes.

The main takeaway from the Boston Globe article is that you can have a best friend and you can have a business partner, but your best friend can't be your business partner unless you're willing to sacrifice the friendship on the altar of fiscal reality

if everyone picked one specific good cause to focus on, build, and contribute to, we'd all be better off collectively instead, so many of us are paralyzed at the prospect of taking it all on that we shut down, and it feels like that's by design sometimes
