As a philosopher of mind I’m fascinated by so many people having to confront the nature of consciousness, and also think the most important thing is that Sam Altman goes to jail.

seeing some goofball takes on the skyline, and the problem isn't that ai can automate work you don't want to do. the problem is that ai bros are enthusiastic members of a nazi project to replace the international order with self-anointed god-emperors who can turn your oxygen off if you stop paying.

I'm struggling to think of any sensible way we can separate thinking, sensations and emotions from consciousness. It seems that these things all occur in consciousness by definition

Yeah ok technically it's bad when the fascist militia is targeting the media with impunity but, on the other hand, if the various Nazi factions want to kick bloody lumps out of each other, I am not going to stop them. Knock yourselves out, lads. Literally.

But really looking at "the government" Vs "the media" isn't right. In the UK there's more of a central clique of people who all went to the same schools and are all in the same group chats. It is a court, and they're all in it.

To reiterate the point: if you are out here trying to convince me the Times - an institution that has pushing great replacement theory into the mainstream for years - hounded a black academic to suicide because of a keen interest in standards at universities, you're either lying or a buffoon.

The key to understanding this is that government after government delivered more and more public assets into private hands hoping that eventually, this would unlock the genies of enterprise and innovation, and what it’s done is raise the cost of providing essential services.

Neoliberalism stands falsely accused. The real culprit is a political culture that has brought about the replacement of aspiration with dependency. We have become a nation of beggars. Never have we asked for more from the state.

"Object permanence" is the ability to understand that even if you can't see something, it still exists. Most toddlers acquire a thorough sense of object permanence by the age of two. But when it comes to technopolitics, object permanence eludes even full-grown lawmakers. 1/
