4-panel comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: A man reads in a cosy armchair surrounded by books. "I've read so much." Panel 2: He looks wistful. "But lived so little." Panel 3: He throws open the curtains excitedly. "I bet a world of wonders awaits me outside!" Panel 4: Outside is total chaos – atomic cloud, buildings on fire, UFOs in the sky, lightning, people fleeing. He stares blankly.

Lots of people debating this today, but I think it's rather simple. If you are going to have AI in positions of authority, you must train (by force) people to respect that authority. It's not hard to see what's behind this.

From the 1974 Worker-Peasant-Soldier class of the Peking University Philosophy department’s commentary on the Analects:
【批制】孔丘创立钓需家学派,不仅是一个反动前思想流派,主要还是一个反动政治集团。为了复辟奴隶制,阴谋篡夺鲁国新兴地主阶级政权,孔丘从鲁定公初年(公元前509年)开始,便开坛设教,广招弟子,大肆宣扬他那套反动说教,大造反革命舆论,拼凑反革命队伍,积酱实力,窥测方向,等待时机,以求一逞。“学而时习之,不亦说乎”,是叫他的门徒专心致志地学习礼、乐、《诗》、《书》,把自己训练成复辟奴隶制钓帮凶。“有朋自远方来,不亦乐乎”,是要他们拉拢来自远方的反革命党羽,扩大反革命组织。
“人不知,而不慍,不亦君子乎”,是说不要怨恨
执政者不任用自己,要善于搞韬晦之计,耐心等待有利时机到来,大干一场。
来代反动哲学家朱熹,會把《学而》吹捧为“大道之门,积德之基”。事实上,孔丘那个
“道”是反革命复辟之道,孔丘那个“德”,是腐朽没落钓奴隶主阶级的德。《论语》一开始就记载了孔丘办教育的反动目,反映了儒家维护没落奴隶制的顽固立场。The cover: 《论语》批注, published at the height of ‘Criticize Confucius, Criticize Lin Biao’

Casey Newton says he simply HAS to return to using a right wing propaganda website owned by an overt white supremacist, because that's where the AI bros are there was simply no way to effectively cover the industry without submerging himself in sewage, we are told
"And so, in the coming days, I plan to resume posting on X. I am doing so not because I think it’s any better — it isn’t — but because I have exhausted all of the alternatives. I continue to believe that anyone who can avoid posting on X should. But my calculus about the t.radeoffs involved for my own work has shifted: as the stakes of the AI conversation have risen, boycotting X over my disagreements with management has grown both more costly and less effective.

Should the AI crowd ever move elsewhere, I will happily follow them. But I’ve become convinced that it’s important I engage with them, even if doing so makes me feel like I’m coworking inside a Port-a-Potty."

Pen and watercolor 

Cowboys again. This time one of our boys has lost his boots. Standing in a field of long grass the cowboy points towards the ground and shouts back to his colleague, “Lil bone people got muh boots.” This makes no sense to the other cowboy who sits atop his horse away from the action. He responds, “Lil wut?” Sure enough in the foreground we see a squad of little bone people scampering through the grass with the stolen cowboy boots. They’re thrilled. How the bone people got the boots off the cowboy is unclear.

Artist’s note: I tend to draw drawings from the same perspective (straight on) most of the time. This idea came about when I was goofin around trying to draw a character from a lower angle. I like that the story unfolds with the foreground, mid-ground, and background all working together. There’s a draft of this one included in the Spooky Pants book. Coming out next week!

Montesquieu identified every regime with an animating principle, a passion that sets it in motion. The principle of a republic was virtue, of monarchy, honor, and that of despotism, fear. If we were to add Trumpism to this taxonomy, its animating principle might well be hubris: not merely arrogance or overweening pride, but, in Aristotle's original sense, the pleasure of humiliating others simply to demonstrate one's superiority. It is not enough to defeat an adversary; he must be made to grovel. Power must prove itself through degradation.
