Me, being deliberately annoying, trying to wake up my daughter for dinner: hey your pasta is ready. The one you wanted! It's long, and flat, and thin, just like... *trying to think of a word* Her, without skipping a beat: YOU

Claude isn't a god. It's the other way around: people at Anthropic, and in the Silicon Valley generally, are dumb animals.

Tech, and especially AI, is just automation of existing structures and dynamics. We're automating patriarchy, automating rape culture, automating slavery, corruption, and class war.

Never got to shoot that fucking video explaining how unbounded market capitalism shrinks naturally and there's nothing anyone can do about it so we should just let it shrink and collapse into itself. Glad I didn't though, because each of at least three byproducts of that collapse might kill us all.

Dear Universe, you really might want to consider giving everything I know, and just as importantly - everything I feel, to someone who doesn't have to work 16 hours a day all the time. Then, some good things should start happening much, much quicker.

You know what this week made me think of again. 1. All power to women, universally. Not mere middle- or frontline-management, but up and down. Structural. 2. All governance, lawmaking, law enforcement and justice should belong to women, to ensure effectiveness, sustainability, and longevity.

Dear Americans, and Brits by extension too: what's up with all this (trigger warning) "swimming in pussy" language? Who told you it's okay to reduce people to body parts? Like, where I grew up, shit like this gets one labeled a weirdo that needs their head rectified, possibly with a brick

Except capitalism in its extreme forms needs violence, because security is a product to sell. Widespread gun ownership is another component of that. And it also needs prisons populated because slave labor is cheap. The purpose of the system is what it does, not what we think it's supposed to do

In societies where women are used as a buffer for absorbing internal social damage (i.e. everywhere), this can be said about many things

Can't believe this is happening: I now have a friend with his own drum kit (and a bunch of guitars) and every now and then we get together and play music. It's been a dream of mine for ~20 years. I abandoned all hope at this point, and yet.

Not enough people remember how on two separate occasions, I think in 2001 and 2007, CEOs of oil companies openly asked the Bush administration to regulate the industry lest it causes irreparable harm to the global ecosystem. No regulations followed then, unlikely for any to follow now either.

Eleven years ago, when my daughter was born, I noticed: we were raised to be “right”, which meant whatever our parents preferred, but we must raise our children to be strong. Yet I’ve been reluctant to follow through on that observation the entire time. Guess today is finally the day.

Writing an OS is not something I bargained for. The industry's been around for decades, cosmic quantities of code are rotting away on Github, and yet somehow I still need something that doesn't exist

I’m telling you, it’s a very cool book
A screenshot of a sentence from a book called “Cultural Studies of Law” (in English this time):

"Look, for example, at the social dysfunction that backgrounds recent movie versions of Batman, or in V for Vendetta. By eschewing any structural solutions to social problems but instead resorting to some deus ex machina to swoop down and rescue us from them, Superman's legacy is a gesture of desperation against the mainstream world rather than either acceptance or reform of it”

I've just realized. This "Trending" shit on social media is the new "will of the people". Nominally reflects reality, but practically is either wholly fictitious or it's impossible to tell, therefore must be treated accordingly.

Well one does not exclude the other if everyone remembers who's doing the "backlash". The good old "will of the people" gets mixed into it by the media for the wider population, that is true
