"Technofascists want to shut the inward eye. They’ll close it like an eyelid on a corpse: a gambit, a formality. They want it shut for all eternity. Eternity is no big thing: the future is an asset they hoarded long ago."

This is so on 🎯. AI (as it’s being used by the majority of people) is taking away the development of their minds. It’s become their substitute synthetic mind, while their own mind atrophies. It’s an addictive electronic drug of the highest potency.

12:00 min: "Trump is enamored with AI bots because AI bots are enamored with him. They are programmed to be sycophantic. It would be easy to get Trump to do something horrific by making it look like the AI bot is reinforcing Trump's own plans instead of goading him." www.youtube.com/watch?v=Koos...

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

Pressure needs to be put on the Democratic establishment to concentrate their efforts on Trump and the Republicans, not the DSA. Of course, they won't do that because fascism doesn't threaten their capital, but socialism does.
Text reads: "If the US were to have free and fair elections, I think the Democrats would do well: not because they are liked, but because the GOP is loathed. There is genuine excitement around Democratic candidates like Abdul El-Sayed. Unfortunately, those candidates are targeted by both the GOP and the Democratic establishment. I don’t know why half our election coverage seems to be about Twitch streamer Hasan Piker. This is a sign of a collapsed media and a political infrastructure hijacked by outside interests. That said, I do think Americans are invested in making their country a better place. I’m impressed by the steady protests and acts of solidarity with the vulnerable. I think these will continue no matter what the midterms bring."

This is the crux of the issue. It’s not just enough to “vote harder”; the Democratic Party leadership has to fix their hearts. But they are completely beholden to the consultant class…which is mainly focused on raising money…which requires that their donors know, “nothing will fundamentally change”
