The Warner Brother tower posed against a vintage map of Burbank, keeling over, tearing up a huge clot of sod and concrete. Standing atop of the tower, forcing it down, is a sad, spavined donkey in Democratic Party livery. Being crushed under the tower is the California flag bear, with blood pouring out of its eye and mouth.

The AI can't explain the proofs or the mathematics. I do not doubt mathematicians will find errors

Unlike machine learning, AI knows nothing. It has no conception of reality. Per Cory Doctorow AI "finds all the instances in which A seems to cause B, but has no internal representation of why A causes B."

A 1970s Air Canada ad depicting a man in a brown velour pullover with a large collar sitting in a book-lined study, assembling model Air Canada jets on his desk. His head has been replaced with the blue, metallic head of a 1950s pulp robot and his skintones have been shifted blue to match.

I have wondered why the Lords Tech are spending their fortunes on LLM AI when it offers so little ROI. This essay offers a partial answer. The Lords Tech seek to crush expertise with cash to capture total power over labor.

AB Separatists = minority of poorly educated dumb asses and nitwits lapping up American propaganda who don’t understand anything about how the world works but think they'd be better off as the Republic of Hee Haw, landlocked, with no allies, trade deals, army or any political capital or leverage.

OnThisDay in 1849, Edgar Allan Poe passed away under mysterious circumstances. Of all the artists who gave life to Poe's macabre tales over the years, perhaps none captured them quite so brilliantly as the Irish artist Harry Clarke publicdomainreview.tumblr.com/post/8298154...

Medieval peasants working the fields in front of a walled city. Their overseer rides a horse; his head has been replaced with a robotic camera. From all sides, gory, anatomical eyeballs intrude upon the scene, each one with a different colored iris.

Eby's & the NDP proposed tax increase on high earners over $190k is a start but it's modest compared to pre neo-liberal economics (before 1980s). For those who earn over $1 million dollars, they will pay 4¢ more on every dollar over $1,000,000 than current rates.

One of the most important things you can do as a citizen to protect midterms is create political pressure to certify election results without fuckery. Call your stare election officials and tell them you expect them to certify election results without delay, and that you'll strike if they don't.

protectdemocracy.org

Election certification, explained

Election certification is the process through which the canvass – the process of ensuring that every ballot is accounted for – is concluded.

I believe in the 2/3 of Americans who reject the Christian Nationalist authoritarian project of Trump, Hegseth, Miller and Johnson. I expect Trump and Hegseth will attempt to use the military after the election to seize votes. That will spark massive protest and deep division in the military

But grappling with Trump’s stuttering assault on the elections is also reminder that the gap between MAGA’s authoritarian aspirations and the reality of the political system remains vast. Trump’s autocratic desires are limitless, but his ability to impose them on the country is not.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

Technology enthusiasts severely overestimate the average person’s desire or willingness or capacity to build and use AI agents. I understand some work roles that could mandate or encourage it but that is no way a tech revolution. Agents are best for structured, clearly delineated tasks.
