“Hype is eating the future, and leaving us the bones.” Sun-ha Hong of UNC-Chapel Hill says the Silicon Valley hype machine systematically “borrows credibility from the future to purchase legitimacy in the present.” The cost, he argues, is a planetary-scale drain on our alternatives.

Tech Hype is Cannibalizing the Future

Every day, we are told that we live in the future—but hype is eating the future and leaving us the bones," writes Sun-ha Hong.

I think that, up until ~20 years ago, if your parents were really awful you could move a few towns over and only call 1-2x per month, maybe visit on Xmas. Now that the expectation is constant connection you have to be much more explicit to make them go away!

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

The policy changes, which go into effect on October 13th, see Arizona and Virginia join Kansas as states where Democrats have needlessly opted to restrict Medicaid coverage of gender-affirming care.

I watched THE MAN IN THE GRAY FLANNEL SUIT (1956) my senior year of college (2002). In an early scene, Tom (Gregory Peck) laments needing $250 to replace the house's broken washing machine. $250 was also about what you'd pay for a brand-new washing machine in 2002.

I really do wonder what the end state of all this is for some people. Just complete disconnection from all human experience. A frictionless automation of the self, just nothing else going on in there. Do they just stare at the wall all day, when they aren't posting about total voluntary alienation?

Skydance now owns Nick, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and MTV, effectively ending US TV animation as we know it. Countless jobs will be lost, and fewer new shows will be created. An apocalyptic scenario for cartoons, yet it's maybe the 5th-worst thing about the Paramount-WB merger!

This was only a matter of time. In a very real way, the net effect of networked license plate readers is more like putting a GPS device on a car than it is like driving past individual security cameras. And if police wanted to track you over time w/ GPS device or your phone---they'd need a warrant.
