The shift from industrial to post-industrial did not just take place on the macro-economic scale. At the scale of the household, our grandparents knew how to repair appliances that we cannot understand today. Just as neoliberalism *de-industrialized* our society, AI is *de-intellectualizing* us.

“Part of how A.I. is making us dumber,” says Dr. Adam Green, a cognitive neuroscientist at Georgetown University, is “undercutting the development of learning how to think in younger people that now have an alternative.”

Having a hard time connecting with music lately. Doesn't matter if it's an old favorite or something new to me. Maybe I'm just stuck in a rut. Send me some suggestions. I largely like things that are interesting, dark, and low on the cheese scale.

As a huge fan of a lot of black metal with many strong opinions on the subject, what you need to understand is that from 1981-today, talking to a huge fan of a lot of black metal with many strong opinions about the subject is just gonna be a bad time and should probably be avoided.

"people are anthropomorphizing LLMs because they are so astonishingly good at processing human thought and language" people will anthropomorphize a chair if you put the stitches in the right place.

You're all contractually obligated to read this comment Rob Paulsen made on a Tim Curry interview in 2025

Rob Paulsen - Voice Actor

I had the remarkable privilege to work with Tim a few dozen times.
Kind, generous, playful, naughty and a TOTAL pro. A couple years ago, at NY Comic Con, I was in the green room having lunch and Tim
came in in his chair. Of course, I was aware of his stroke, so l walked over knelt down and said, "Tim! It's Rob Paulsen. We
worked together on..." he looked me and said, "I know who you are,
you fucking wanker." It was like a blessing from the Pope. Utterly
unique. Unstoppable. A total star.

Found some Weirdpunk titles on the physical shelves at the Cleveland Library. I stand in solidarity with workers--with their strikes, with thier actions--and you should too. If your books are on their shelves, speak up (and also even if they aren't). More info on Margaret's post.

I want to boost Theo's accusation again because the Horror Writer's Association doesn't seem to have acknowledged it at all. Given that this is about a presidential nominee I would expect there to at least be consideration of the statement.

Just as targeting trans kids in sports was really about acclimating the public to accept eugenics-based segregation, the push to imprison trans healthcare providers is really about getting Americans to neutrally accept *any and all* punishments for trans people. share.google/dkftBhSPJAoL...

Been a fan of @sammytotep.bsky.social since his SABBATH OF THE FOX-DEVILS. His deceptively straightforward writing style economically but vividly explores recurring themes of grief and alienation, of devouring corporate (in every sense of the word) interests, of a world permanently misaligned.
