You’ve gotta use AI because it’s the future. But also it’ll take your job. But also it’ll create a paradise on earth and solve most of our problems. But also it’ll end humanity soon. But also you’ll get left behind if you don’t use it right now.

My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.

I would kill or die for Larry
A small operation in Oregon that hunts truffles with a trained dog has added an unpaid trainee. A cat named Larry accompanies the handler and the truffle dog into the woods every outing, works a patch of ground a little apart from them, and digs with tremendous confidence in places where there is nothing.
The handler says Larry has never found a truffle and shows no sign of understanding the assignment. He does not use scent the way the dog does and he does not respond when the dog makes a find.
He simply digs his own holes nearby and then inspects them. "He thinks he's on the team," the handler said. "He is emphatically not on the team."

The most dangerous thing about AI is not that the machines might one day think. It is that we are being trained, by men with enormous financial gains riding on our acquiescence, to stop thinking for ourselves.

bottom surgery for trans teens is an easy thing to fearmonger about but it’s also easy to push back on rhetorically. “no one is doing SRS on teens!” is a weak argument that is also not true and throws trans kids under the bus. “teens can consent to life saving healthcare, dipshit.” is true

"everyone" = men with money

In the 1830s everyone in the USA knew
that canal waterways were the future of
commerce. Every state started building a
canal network with the vision of hooking
them all into a national network. In 1837
there was a Great Recession, and the tax
base for the canal work collapsed. When
the economy recovered 5 years later, the
railroad boom was happening and
everyone knew that canals were over.
That's why every city in the Midwest has a
half-finished canal in it. This is a post
about data centers

Hello my name is {insert} and I’m calling because I am concerned about Lowe’s partnership with the surveillance company called Flock for its cameras. Flock databases have been exposed for assisting in ICE immigration raids and to criminalize abortion. I learned that Lowe’s is one of Flock’s biggest customers, which puts all its customers at risk simply by shopping or driving through a Lowe’s parking lot. I would like you to please flag this to corporate and consider its vulnerable shoppers who already experience surveillance and racial profiling. Thank you for your time.navy blue and yellow graphic with architectural blueprint background showing Lowe's logo with the word 'de-flock' above it.

FUND MILITARISM, GET WAR The United States enters its 250th year with militarism in ascendance. War has failed to solve conflicts or create peace - from Korea to Vietnam to 25 years of endless war on terror - officials throw more money at the Pentagon. Funding the war machine buys war and killing. And, as the pie chart on the front shows, militarization is taking over other agencies. The result: heavily armed agents and military in our streets, causing fear, deaths, and threaten- ing democracy. It's not too late to heed the warning of "founding father" James Madison and demand a disarmed budget and disarmed world.
