I did as they said, I pushed myself outside of my comfort zone. Now I’m uncomfortable, with more responsibility and pressure that what I feel capable of. Every success is just panic-induced scraping by. Perhaps the seemingly self-imposed limitations of my anxiety were objective assessments

I REALLY like this @anildash.com piece on 'unalive' and algospeak in general, particularly the exploration of the implications for a generation of people growing up steeped in it.

My 3-year-old niece was showing me her book about wolf pups & the moon cycles. She flipped through it pointing at the different cool things, then flipped to the back dust jacket, pointed at a picture in the corner, & said “and this is Dolly!” because Dolly’s foundation help pay to publish the book 😭

Driving to work shaving with an electric razor, calling my bookie to put a bet on, rifling around the litter in my passenger’s seat to find a lighter, for my cigarette, rolling down the window shouting abuse at some cunt, then I realised I wasn’t a 70’s TV detective & just went to work as normal.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

There's nothing magical about it, "AI" doesn't think, it's just software & bad software at that. Which is why investment has started to cool down & all these companies that aren't already IPO'd are hoping to get there to save themselves or, get in with the government so they're "too big to fail".

One of the best takedowns of the "rationalists" and Libertarians is in Fargo, season 5: Roy: "I want freedom without arbitrary rules.” Lorraine: "So you want freedom without responsibility? Son, there's only one person on Earth who gets that deal." Roy: "The President?" Lorraine: "A baby.”

No ads, no selection limited by streaming rights, just a whole bunch of films on DVD that your tax dollars already bought you access to. Go wild!

Bryan Eagle @bryaneagleshow.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

reminder: if you want to ditch streaming for physical media, it doesn’t have to be costly. You can get an affordable DVD player from a secondhand store & check out DVDs from your local library. A one-time cost of about $20 (price I paid) for the DVD player & a free library card is all you need

You’ve also got other elements - god complexes, fascism, homogeny, “cost cutting” - that play into why some want this. But I really do think it’s a giant game of chicken between a grifter & a mark, both knowing the truth but both determined to play this out rather than admit it was always a grift

Bryan Eagle @bryaneagleshow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Now Silicon Valley knows if it doesn’t deliver, the investment stream is done, once and for all. Investors can’t admit they got grifted again. So both parties are gonna force this product into the world, so neither has to concede they are either the grifter or the easy mark. And we all pay the price

Bryan Eagle @bryaneagleshow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

My personal theory is Silicon Valley & its investors are in a game of chicken. Investors wanted to be first, not miss the next Google/Facebook/etc.For years, Silicon Valley exploited this greed by making outlandish promises, so they could rake in money upfront before they even had a product

One thing that astounds me about “AI” is these companies have small revenue streams, substantial debt, & no forecast for turning a profit; everyone that is proselytizing it are the ones selling it. Purely from a business standpoint, those are red flags that it’s a bad investment. Just pissing away $

Obviously most of our individual parents thought going to college would be good for us. It was in their generation. But wow did politicians and think tanks and pundits really find a way to use our situation against us, so much so I gotta wonder how much forethought was put into our college pressure

They made us the first white collar blue collar workers. We could be discounted as blue collar because of our degrees but without giving us any real power in the white collar sphere because we were, effectively, blue collar workers. Just a neat little trick that helped our generation stay stuck

Bryan Eagle @bryaneagleshow.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

You ever just have a “I know this isn’t a thing but it sure feels like it is”? Like how Millennials were pushed by our parents - primarily boomers - to go to college, which had this real handy side effect of creating a working class whose education allowed them to be discounted as working class

And if those suffering are doing so by divine providence for poor character, then what obligation do the good people have to help those already being penalized by god? It’s just a endless loop of justifying human-caused outcomes by linking them to god’s feelings about one’s character

Bryan Eagle @bryaneagleshow.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Also it’s bullshit to make people rely on a job for any hope of minimal care when sick, but the idea lands in America because good fortune (of any kind not just $) is seen as validation of character by divine providence. Therefore misfortune is suffering for your bad character by divine providence
