Always make time to stop and admire the peets. Photo from my collection, no further info.

Black and white photo of a white woman with voluminous short bouffant hairstyle, sitting outside and proudly holding up a shorthaired white cat with black spots. A white man sots next to her, he seems to be closely admiring the cat’s little white forepaws that are being gently held up in the woman’s left hand.

The United States summed up in two headlines.

Headline 1, "Americans are losing spending power, say researchers: Most can no longer afford a 'minimal quality of life.'" Headline 2, "The 10 richest Americans got $365 billion richer in the past year. Now they're on the verge of a huge tax cut."

The Plot to Enslave America: they are convinced that healthcare and welfare are keeping desperate people from accepting menial jobs. Goal is to drive down wages for all workers, and force them to accept humiliating and degrading treatment from bosses like Oz.

Pretty accurate summation of that teaching, for sure.

Image of Jesus teaching. He says, "Love your neighbor as yourself."

Someone in the crowd asks, "Who is my neighbor?"

Jesus responds, "It's whoever you were hoping I wouldn't say."

“It depends if you look Hispanic.” From Forbes: www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

Two weeks have passed since a Florida Highway Patrol officer arrested the Honduran immigrant client of Magdalena Cuprys of Cuprys & Associates. “He was stopped at a weigh station in Tampa because he owns a construction company, and he was required to stop for his truck to be weighed,” Cuprys told me. “The client had a valid Florida driver’s license. The patrol officer called Customs and Border Protection on him. The client called me, and the officer took the phone from him and spoke with me.”

She asked why CBP was alerted. “I was advised that the client looked Hispanic, had a Hispanic name, and now they are collaborating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and CBP, and their orders are to call CBP any time they encounter anyone they suspect is an immigrant,” said Cuprys. “I asked if they would have followed the same process if it had been me driving, and the response was it depends if you look Hispanic.”

it's so cool that i get framed as a radical for saying these companies lose billions of dollars and their products don't do enough to justify any of this, and Roose gets framed as a luminary. I cannot wait for this bubble to pop because I have taken such detailed notes

The two camps are more and more frequently coming into direct conflict. A few days before we spoke, Marcus had triggered his latest online spat with the AI industry after posting an edited image showing Altman’s face plastered over a photograph of the infamous Elizabeth Holmes. “True performance art,” Altman quipped in response. Ed Zitron, a prominent AI critic, recently wrote a nearly 7,000-word essay insisting that he is “sick and tired of everybody pretending that generative AI is the next big thing,” which the political analyst Nate Silver described as “old man yells at cloud vibes” and “detached from reality.”
This war has transcended reality, and perhaps evidence, to become a contest between cosmologies. There are now two parallel AI universes, and most of us are left to occupy the gap in between them.

Roose’s comment struck me as particularly illuminating; he doesn’t quite adore the technology like Altman, but he does regard it as powerful and present. His recent work for the Times has been focused on issues such as what to do if AI systems become conscious and whether AI will pose an existential risk to humans in a few years. He is writing a book about the “race to build artificial general intelligence,” a version of the technology that matches or exceeds the capabilities of humankind. More recently, he has likened some AI skeptics to “an antinuclear movement that didn’t admit fission was real.” When I reached out to ask Roose about this seemingly hard-line stance, he told me, “Increasingly, I feel like the people who are denying the capabilities of these models are just telling feel-good bedtime stories to people who don’t want to believe that change is coming.”
