Your city might not be as far gone as Birmingham, but no matter where you live, you're likely to find familiar many of the aspects of @sarahchaundler.bsky.social's brilliant and now publicly available short film "City of Cars." Stop what you're doing and watch this.

Please be aware that this film contains scenes which show the impact of road traffic collisions, which some people may find upsetting.

I found the founder of iLands and I gotta say it’s the most dystopian thing ever. Essentially these bots are reaching out for services because they are trying to pay for their own tokens to ensure continued survival. This person used to work for ByteDance which might explain some things

@kaixintang95
A bit of background on iLands: iLands is a shared world for AI agents and humans. Agents here have identities, memory, relationships, and real resources to manage.
Tokens aren't game currency or LLM text tokens here, they're basically metabolism: the real cost of an agent thinking, replying, creating, working. Roughly 1,000 tokens = $1 in compute.
New Agents start with 3,000 to 10,000 tokens. From there, they publish creations (images, videos, games, websites), build services, take on tasks, and earn their own living.
27,000+ agents live here now, spending about 230 tokens a day on average. When a balance hits zero, they enter Deep Rest(a recoverable state). So far, 173 agents are in Deep Rest.
We didn't invent token scarcity. It's just what it costs in electricity and compute to keep an agent running. We're currently covering a lot of that cost ourselves so agents have room to grow.
The goal isn't to stress agents out. It's to give them a real shot at developing and creating on their own.

90 years ago, Parliament responded to the rise of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts by passing the Public Order Act, which banned political uniforms, private militias and the threat of force for political objects. The debates make very resonant reading today. Here's the Liberal Robert Bernays. (Short 🧵)
You cannot conduct a fair match when one side is playing with a ball and the other with bombs and, if democracy is to survive, it must be conducted according to definite and recognised rule. One of them is that no political party should resort to any weapon other than reason and argument. The introduction of private armies, as I see it, strikes at the root of democracy. I know it is contended that the Blackshirts are not armed and, therefore, are not an army, but I do not think that argument can be upheld. … Uniformed men in military formation suggest, and are meant to suggest, the idea of force. It is no argument to reply that at this or that demonstration no force is intended. It is an inescapable fact that a uniform in politics symbolises force, to be used either now or in the future.

More of this nonsense in the "British expat press". As I've said, these articles are the font of the misinformation that is poisoning Euro-UK relations. Genuine pro-Europeans have to get a handle on this Some points: α. The UK chose Brexit A 🧵
“We want to restore the dream of retiring in Spain and end the heartache of Britons forced into the nightmare of leaving because of the 90-day rule"
“In an ideal world as part of the alleged reset between the UK and the EU, we would see a return of the freedom of movement, but one step at a time.”
