Setting aside the hype, it’s more than a little offensive that these AI hucksters are performing “we’re inventing the atomic bomb” using an expired livestream social media model and assuming the public won’t clock it

We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe. But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.

I’m an anxious-avoidant writer (paralytically terrified of starting), I justify procrastination as “percolating” etc. And yet! whenever I force myself to actually sit down and barf shit out, the thoughts that emerge are totally fresh, previously unknown to my conscious mind, and often pretty good!

I think one new hellish thing we’re going to encounter in the increasingly enshittified AI-ruined landscape of the 2027-2030, much of which was anticipated by the (not even always especially imaginative) Black Mirror, is teenagers discovering “this cool old show called Black Mirror”

At the risk of being glib: it is dumb to be upset about Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. It is a movie. English translations of the epic run to about 500 pages of metered verse. These things are not commensurable. Let it go

There is a lot to say about the Nolan Odyssey movie. But one point that I think has not been emphasized enough is: this is a film about living in LA, as Nolan, my erstwhile British compatriot and age mate, has done for years. I gather it’s a strange place.

After intensive discussion I have concluded that it is necessary to build an entire Potemkin internet exactly as it appeared in 2005. You get Wikipedia, forums, news sites, whatever, but no short form video, social media, or AI. When you graduate college you get the password to the real Internet.
