They want AI to be the cheerful, willing slave they’ve always dreamed of... and actual humans better follow suit.

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

born 1954; resides Albuquerque, NM

O Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years
2023
satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.

I'd only be worried about a Trump coup if... a) They fired all the professional generals and replaced them with loyal hacks b) They brought Nat'l Guard troops from pro-Trump states into DC until 1/20/29 c) Trump was building a massive bunker with drones next to the White House wait a minute...

it feels reassuring to sit back and look at things people told me I was being dramatic about and realize I was not, in fact, being dramatic at all. the nazis did take over twitter. the fascists did take away abortion rights and are coming for our democracy. AI is already subverting human rules.

Any "A.i." "literacy" program pushed on kids CANNOT be directed, advised, or funded by the "A.i." industry -- and it must include "A.i." QUITERACY - teaching kids how to disable and opt out and reject "A.i." Otherwise "A.i." "literacy" is just a drug pusher teaching kids how to snort cocaine.

Striking article. Missing and damaged artwork. The building left trashed. I am struck by the image of the "tangle of upended music stands." It's as if the Kennedy Center was simply evacuated of people one day...

Too many “free market capitalists” forget that Adam Smith believed in regulation to keep free markets from becoming exploitive and corrupt. Not to mention that they didn’t hear anything good about Keynes in B school.

Funny how after every SCOTUS ruling striking down some protection from government abuse, the officials those protections restrained — cops, prosecutors, Republican state electeds — immediately start acting in the precise manner SCOTUS assured us they no longer do.

Interesting long read. Thought not mentioned directly, the experiences of countries in Latin America emerging from bureaucratic authoritarianism supports his thesis about alternative, reliable spheres of public engagement. What we old called civil society.

With a population around 600 in Thomas WV, I counted between 150-200 people at one point during the rally today. Talking to folks, we had people from Parsons (around 1300), Davis (also around 600) and unincorporated areas of the county. Pretty darn good for the highlands. #NoKings

I really need the Republicans who are retiring because their dreams of plausibly deniable racism and gentlemanly corruption have died to just burn everything down on their way out. Not to be good, as they are not, but surely they can at least be vengeful traitors.

Calling these people parasites is unfair to microbes. I know people are popularizing “The Epstein Class” but vampires feels like the most accurate: predators who suck the life out of everyone else to feed themselves.

(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

This thread is a really important read. The reason why Bannon and Epstein and Thiel and their friends wanted to destroy the world was so they could run amok with their own depraved eugenicist aims without accountability. It’s all sociopathic narcissism, all the way down.

So, let's get this straight. Christopher "Moot" Poole created 4chan as a gathering place for hentai and CSAM enthusiasts, started /pol/ the day he met with Jeffrey Epstein, then /pol/ memed Trump to the presidency and birthed Qanon, a conspiracy theory in which Trump is a good person who hates CSAM.
