Senators of the 4th Parliament draw laws like warding charms, limiting their influence to their tiny chamber in exchange for assurance that they can never be removed from it. Their power is endless stalemate—better to make the same small moves forever than to lose, or to question the game itself.

i think part of the social disconnect between how AI is marketed vs received is that it promises an isolated life comprised only of a frictionless parade of your own desires, and the rich people pushing it can’t comprehend any other mode of engaging with the world

Back in the old days nazis weren’t allowed and people posted a lot of creative or ambitious long-form things and there were even some really innovative uses of the html/css editing to create things like games or interactive posts and sorry wait I’m thinking of cohost

Highlighting this quote because it’s wrong: “You don’t really read it, and now it has to be reviewed by your colleagues, and they are like, ‘this doesn’t look right,'” he complained. “You’re just letting AI do the work for you.” The AI isn’t doing the work for them! The coworker is doing the work!

I wish any of the losers running these ads would ask “what response would my republican opponent most want me to have to this” because it’s this. Leaving aside the massive moral cowardice: Why would you have the fight they put in front of you when theres so many instant winners you can pick from

A friend of mine works in AI and thinks bad things are about to happen. He sold his home and moved his family out the country. He said that if you own a home in a walkable San Francisco neighborhood near a taqueria with good veggie options, you should sell your home for super cheap right now.

It is the Democrats who decide whether trans people are going to be fighting Democrats or fighting Republicans. I think most of us would much *rather* fight Republicans. All Democrats have to do to make that happen is *not talk*. That's easy. Democrats are *very* good at not taking policy positions.

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"
Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer):  You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

Something that specifically chafed me about the studio’s response in the article: There’s a bit where they say the crunch “isn’t forced”. In my somewhat limited experience, that’s actually worse!
