I've read many articles lately about how fascists misunderstand and misinterpret science fiction. While that true, it's only half the story. Some science fiction of the past has played with fascist ideas. 🪐📚🪐

Think of it as evolution in action.

QT above the tweet says, "Russian officials have biologically evolved to be harder to push out of windows."

1982's Conan the Barbarian is a movie about Arnold Schwarzenegger kicking ass and fighting snakes...but it also presents a far more thoughtful, sympathetic version of Conan than people realize. Let's talk beefy heroes, Thulsa Doom, and...feminism?

Okay, hear me out: this movie kicks ass, but it's also more thoughtful than you might expect...

While watching The Odyssey, I couldn't help but wonder: what would Peter Jackson's version of The Odyssey have looked like? I think he would have leaned a little bit more into the horror and the fantastical. 📽️ #FilmSky.

I wonder if all book titles are decided this way. (From James Gunn's book on Isaac Asimov, on choosing the title of I, Robot). 📚🪐. 📚💙

Screenshot from book: "In 1950, when Martin Greenberg of Gnome Press was preparing to publish the book, Greenberg dismissed Asimov's suggested title, Mind and Iron (a phrase used in the introduction), and suggested I, Robot. Asimov said that was impossible because of Binder's earlier story. "Fuck Eando Binder," Greenberg said, and I, Robot it was."

Someone tried to argue with me the other day that Star Trek was mostly Kirk sleeping around with strange alien women. Granted, there's a lot of that, but there's so much more. #startrek #TOS #hornyKirk

AI boosters claim that LLMs are the future of software development. But that could not be further from the truth. LLMs are the apotheosis of a paradigm 40 years in the making: the tech industry assigns you problems and then sells you the solutions. But that world is now coming apart at the seams.

AI is not the future of software development, but the last dying gasp of the past

The industry has been building careers and business models around solving the very problems it created. But the conditions that once made this possible are breaking down.
