As *tech*, AI isn't exceptional. It's not exceptionally wicked. It's not exceptionally good. Take away the accompanying, galactic-scale stock-swindle, and we'd call AI's apps "plug-ins" and we'd use them and abuse them in the same way that we've used every other technology: www.normaltech.ai 1/

“Columbus Weather: Worst air quality ever recorded in Central Ohio.” Thank goodness this doesn’t matter because anything we don’t like is fake, right America? And we never have to grow up and be adults and face facts. Covid fake, the 2020 election fake, climate change fake.

The reason millennials increasingly don’t consider “socialism” to be a bad word is because 1. It’s associated with Bernie / AOC / universal healthcare / taxing billionaires, not Cold War propaganda 2. Capitalism has failed us. That’s it.

The notorious conman Vivek Ramaswamy is now apparently a huge soccer fan, wearing a ridiculous Ohio chain at the Ecuador & Guatemala friendly in Columbus. Crew owner Jimmy Haslam co-hosted a multi-million dollar fundraiser for Ramaswamy last month.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

They want some of us to think we're in a race war, and others to think we're in a gender war, and others still to think we're in a religious war, but we're not. Those are all battlefronts of a class war and if you don't even know what war you're in then how do you expect to win?
