the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

I understand the excitement about technology “rediscovering lost texts.” I do, & I get the media hype. But I wish people knew that there are hundreds of thousands of “lost” texts just sitting in manuscripts in libraries, which have never been published outside of those single manuscripts. 1/n

"I'm okay with using LLMs for the sake of the team's work-life balance" is a really insidious thing to say because no tool (however effective) can give you work-life balance. Work-life balance comes from good boundaries, appropriate headcount, clear responsibilities, and realistic scheduling.

On this May 4th I am remembering how in the short brilliant life of Cohost @dimosar.bsky.social made not one but two of the best Star Wars posts in history

Post by @Sullivan on Cohost
YODA: Luke, when gone am I, the last of the Jedi will you be...except for Ahsoka Tano, Ezra Bridger, Cal Kestis, Quinlan Vos,
LUKE: ...Who?
YODA: ...Gungi- the wookiee jedi kid,
LUKE: a Wookie Jedi?? Master, isn't that a bit tireso-

(continued @Sullivan post on Cohost)
YODA: NOT finished I was...Reva, some other Inquisitors I bet, Opo Rancisis- the ugly-looking tree guy from Phantom Menace, he was. And Ka-Moon Kholi, Kelleran Beq, Selrahc Elous, Baylon Skoll, some guy named "Naq Med" if reading this right I am,
#STAR WARS #yoda
(A reply, also from @Sullivan)
LUKE: Cal...Kestis? Mouthfeel on that one is a little off...
YODA: a double jump, he can do.

(pasting full text in here, it's gonna get cut off sorry)
Sheev's Plan:
get elected to senate for naboo
start new sith order
work republic and separatists against each other. recruit evil guy to lead separatists.
(this jedi kid is wicked strong!)

get jedi in deep with clone army. (save some clone jars for later? just in case...)
PIVOT: Make the jedi kid evil. dont need separatist guy anymore. got a new evil guy.
make my evil guy kill his jedi pals when they come to arrest me. ill finish em off with my lightning attack
(fucking guy used his sword to bounce my lightning back at me! honestly my fault. takes a minute for the lightning to wind down and he got my ass on the bounce. fair play. now i look like a leather couch but its fine. can blame jedi for THAT too)

Use the clones to kill the jedi, have my evil guy kill the seperatists, keep the army, spin into empire
GALAXY NOW UNDER MY CONTROL

chill as emperor for a while. humiliate Vader for a laugh. make death star.
Endgame achieved.

(Vader's kid blows up my death star)

PIVOT: get new young apprentice by turning him evil once he kills his dad, or maybe make Vader cooler by making him kill his gay son. either way its a win-win for me.
(thrown down hole and killed.)

PIVOT: good thing i kept those clone jars!! make new clone body to inhabit. takes time to get right. need something to do until then
build enormous fleet of big spaceships, each with their own super death star laser. keep em on the down low... why use em? they lose half the value as soon as you fly them off the lot
(clone son betrays me but its no biggie. its fine. have loads of clones at this point. whats one clone son?)

create a DECOY fascist empire. put one of my weirder clones in charge. Not giving them any of my ships though. can build his own shit. dont look at me. get a bank loan
let failed clone recruit vaders grandson (will explain why later) let those guys take over the galaxy with a different super death star. assume they built this one the…

I return a lot to de Romilly’s observation in her book on Thucydides, where the end-state of imperial politics is inability to coexist because that requires constraint, and disaffected imperial citizens wed their ego to the state’s imperial power and experience its constraint as a loss of freedom.

i miss David Lynch i think about this passage from his book Catching the Big Fish all the time, both because it's good and because it always makes me wonder if he'd just watched The Phantom Menace when he wrote it. funny if true.

"I hear stories about directors who scream at actors, or they trick them somehow to get a performance. And there are some people who try to run the whole business on fear. But I think this is such a joke -- it's pathetic and stupid at the same time.

When people are in fear, they don't want to go to work. So many people today have that feeling. Then the fear starts turning into hate, and they begin to hate going to work. Then the hate can turn into anger and people can become angry at their boss and their work.

If I ran my set with fear, I would get 1 percent, not 100 percent, of what I get. And there would be no fun in going down the road together. And it *should* be fun. In work and in life, we're all supposed to get along. We're supposed to have so much fun, like puppy dogs with our tails wagging. It's supposed to be great living; it's supposed to be fantastic."
