Old. Opinionated. Humanist. Bigotry is not a valid alternate viewpoint. Common decency is not a bargaining chip. cv-danes.com

One More Reason Americans Hate AI: It Does Nothing for Them

Trillions of dollars in spending, higher interest rates, hardly any jobs

The only thing AI might be suitable for is elevator music. Actual music is like actual writing, and actual musicians aren't in it for the money: bsky.app/profile/cv-d...

This is not about sports. This is about the Republicans creating a culture issue where there was no issue before. This is about bigotry and erasing transgender people from existence. Full stop.

C.V. Danes @cv-danes.com · 9h

This right here.

I truly hate that attitude. Vote blue no matter who is how we ended up with the shit Dems we have now.

'Trump' and 'morally' should never be allowed in the same sentence.

It can certainly feel like yelling into the wind, and the normies in particular are the ones in 1984 who couldn't remember who they were at war with one day to the next. But that's what differentiates you from them :-)

You can travel freely between both camps :-)

Yeah $10 million is a tidy sum, but it's not fabulously wealthy. It's retiring to a comfortable lifestyle and hoping you live out the remainder without a serious illness that can blow through your savings.

C.V. Danes @cv-danes.com · 23h

And this right here is why we need to strongly encourage Dems to stop treating these acts as a political matter and treat them as crimes against the state. There needs to be a Nuremberg-style tribunal with Nuremberg-style consequences.

The sweet spot for systemic revolution is the intersection of olds who feel they have nothing to lose and youngs who feel they have nothing possible to gain under the current system :-)

In the hands of someone who understands the fundamentals of their field, AI can be a legitimate boon. But that's not how it's being sold: bsky.app/profile/cv-d...

C.V. Danes @cv-danes.com · 29/09/2026

Exactly. It's not AI we need to be worried about. It's cultist tech billionaires in a Heaven's Gate themed AI cult using AI to attempt to bring about 12 Monkeys we need to be worried about. And as much as I'd like to think that's hyperbole, recent stories suggest it's maybe not.

A fundamental problem, other than the content theft, is that AI is being sold by people only in it for the money for use by people only in it for the money, and if you're writing because you're in it for the money you're in it for the wrong reason.

Remembering how the so-called liberal items that were carved out of Biden's green bill, of which paid day care was one, happened to be the items people cared most about.

Which is why in addition there needs to be a tiny 0.1% wealth tax that requires them to identify all their wealth, no matter where it exists :-)

Only double parked? I remember driving through Boston and seeing people triple parked.

Wait until they start doing 'personalized pricing' based on how much the algorithm thinks you personally will pay for a big mac.

Restore Eisenhower level taxation and call it reparations for 50 years of wealth theft.

C.V. Danes @cv-danes.com · 29/09/2026

Congress under his tenure has demonstrably been the most feckless Congress in US history.

C.V. Danes @cv-danes.com · 29/09/2026

Ok. Will Dems be doing this in conjunction with prosecuting Trump regime criminality or instead of?

C.V. Danes @cv-danes.com · 29/09/2026

He's also why single payer was never an option.

C.V. Danes @cv-danes.com · 29/09/2026

And Trump has made them look like good guys.

C.V. Danes @cv-danes.com · 29/09/2026

And that much or more has been blown on AI. Imagine if that had went to feed and care for people instead.

The amount of money being pissed down the drain is insane. They could literally have solved any number of issues currently plaguing humankind and instead they blew it on software that can't do math. Just unbelievable. Sickening, really. Pathological.

C.V. Danes @cv-danes.com · 29/09/2026

I mean, one of the most famous (and probably beloved) robots in history -- the original Lost In Space's Robot -- didn't have functional legs :-). And it was lovingly called Robot instead of Alexa/Siri/Whatever.

I suspect 2028 Democrats will have as much fire on the belly to hold Stephen Miller accountable as 2020 Democrats had for holding him accountable.

All I'm going to say is if you have an interest in splitting hairs over lusting over minors, you should probably never take your computer to get serviced. On second thought, please do.

C.V. Danes @cv-danes.com · 28/09/2026

Thanks, Trumpers.
