The sunny side of this delusion is the computer gives you a flying car and makes it so you don't have to work. The blackpill one is that it wipes us out via some cinematic method TBD. Two futures you don't actually have to live in. Both are abdications, and embarrassingly childish on their face.

It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.

Being a parent is a wild ride. Sometimes you have a 24-hour period in which the 10-year-old's emotional regulation goes completely out the window and we are having screaming fits - and then we decide to not only clean up the small mess we made earlier, but also vacuum the whole upstairs to boot.

a few things about white Evangelical Texas Christianity I think you probably don't know, that I think are necessary to understand the Talarico situation I'm just going to describe the belief structure as I understand it, from direct experience with my family.

Seriously if any president ever did this besides him he would be gone in 5 seconds. Yet it won't be above the fold every day for the next month and it won't be the leading story on cable news every day until the midterms even though it should be.

It takes you 20 paragraphs to get to the part of the article where they admit that Mamdani isn't paying the influencers and the reason they are posting videos of the stuff Mamdani is doing is because people are interested in watching it.
The mayor’s office says that it does not pay the influencers. Still, their proximity and access to a figure as popular as Mr. Mamdani can help increase their own social media following and, by extension, potentially put them in a position to attract paid content sponsorships from commercial brands. Some influencers said that when they feature Mr. Mamdani, the videos get more likes and viewers watch longer.

It was never about success or failure. It's about wringing everything out of good people and then abandoning them when the money comes in. Absolutely unforgivable. Brutal.

I'm of the belief that Trump will never get rid of Hegseth because he'll never get anyone as willing to turn tanks against Americans. But Democrats should still be demanding it at every chance they get.

this is how they treat geographical and naming disputes for every country, rather than having someone decide “this is stupid and we are going to manually override the decision because we think it’s stupid” unfortunately we elected a stupid man with the power to order GNIS to change names

re: everyone yelling about Google Maps - Maps just ingests the official data source for each country, which is GNIS in this case, and most other online maps will follow for American users nobody at Google is making an active decision to go in and change names in Maps directly

Part of treating children as human beings means simply reminding yourself that the younger version of you would have hated to have been surveilled 24/7, and that your sense of self is formed in part through privacy from others. We parent well when we let our children find themselves.

The only thing worse to a leftist than the American history of colonial domination, persecution, and exclusion of the subaltern is the idea that minorities affected by those things don’t want to burn down the idea of having nice things but rather want to be included in the system

so I also don't like AI and would have bought into this if I hadn't gotten into a discussion about it the full context indicates that the driver for low scores is spending less time on homework, likely because AI is doing the homework for you. Full article for context: archive.is/IpzHi
graph comparing AI-using students and non-AI-using students. X-axis is homework completion time, and Y axis is a normalized exam score. The lines show roughly similar exam results based on similar amounts of time spent on completing homework.

And here's the best part: "Tehee but at least agriculture uses the water to make food!" Uh, you'd be surprised! Farmers are INCENTIVIZED TO WASTE WATER. To use more than we need, to grow thirsty crops in deserts, etc. A whole lot of that massive ag water use DOES NOT MEANINGFULLY GROW FOOD.

We really have to understand that decades of being told "Turn off the water when you're brushing your teeth!" was kinda bullshit. Folks we are failing to comprehend the SHEER VOLUME of water agriculture uses. ALL urban water use in the CO basin? Is ~1/3 of what the farms there use.

I think I didn't really parse until recently the (significant and meaningful) differences between and speed cameras / red light cameras vs an always-active pedestrian-facing camera (like Flock or Ring) One mitigates a public safety issue while maintaining privacy; the other much worse at both
