To old to be cool. Too cynical to be funny. Never stop learning. Aspiring #horror writer. Make Orwell fiction again. Yes I like DFW. I am poor at catching typos.

I wonder if they will get sponsors and advertisers on the first round or if they will need to normalize it first before they add the QR codes to the screen. Yes we are living in a black mirror episode.

I think in reality what socialism actually means in the American context is that trillionaire Elon Musk got $38 billion from the U.S. government and you got rejected trying to buy a $1 soda on SNAP benefits.

Yes and the midterms are full of tight races at every level which can be nudged all too often with money. Not some money. With giant piles of it. Even local school board elections have dark money pushing GOP backed candidates now. The Koch brothers saw the value of local elections.

For those on BlueSky probably not. But for the average Fox loving schlub it may provide enough manufactured outrage to get out and vote or..do more crazy things. So I do think it makes a difference and not a good one.

While true and a good thing it’s also necessary to remember they don’t have to win them all. All they have to do is tip the scales a tiny bit in a few places. That’s the power of unregulated money. It doesn’t have to buy your race. It just has to buy enough races. Oligarchy in action.

We've built a society that offers infinite rewards to anyone who can put a name - and thus an identity - to anyone caught in public having an argument, picking their nose, slipping on ice, or eating with their mouth open.

We're repeatedly told that the killer app for pervert glasses - Meta's AI-enabled camera glasses and their imitators - is that they will remind you of someone's name and spare you the social awkwardness of not recognizing them.

Well, this is cute. I looked up an #AirCanada flight in Firefox and then pasted the URL into a Chromium window where I was logged into my #Aeroplan Elite account. Air Canada added $300 to the flight price when I tried to load it from a logged-in browser. Hell of a customer loyalty perk!

Ugh! I hate all this price switcheroo crap - just feels like we've legitimized companies shaking down anyone they feel like they can and punishing the poor for not consuming enough by overcharging for everything. Definitely not added value

Since the mid-1950s, we have changed the thing that "AI" refers to every 5-10 years. The current thing we're calling "AI" is about a decade old, and all this label-switching leads to a lack of clarity as to what (this) "AI" is.
