Refreshing, though often depressing, clear sighted analysis from folks who know things and care.
If this could be beamed into people’s living rooms or phones rather than the dross that commercial media inflicts upon us, we’d all be richer for it.
Thank you one and all for doing the good work x

In Egon Schiele's "Boy with Hand to Face," the artist uses his distinctive expressive style to convey a sense of introspection and vulnerability through the boy's pose and muted color palette. Schiele, known for his raw emotive portraits, captures the tension between youth and existential contemplation in this artwork.

Generative AI is a societal disaster Governments are deluding themselves into believing investment justifies allowing AI to upend society

The AI industry wants us to believe AI superintelligence is the real threat from generative AI.

But that narrative was crafted to distract from the many ways genAI is being used to tear our societies apart, as we saw this week when a deepfake video rocked the Irish election. It must be reined in.

End all funding every single private employment services provider.

Salt the earth so those in change of them never get any public money ever again - run them out of the country.

Get rid of mutual obligations

Bring back the CES

Australia has preferential voting. Perhaps we’re in a slightly less parlous state than the others as a result, but not that far behind.

Albanese at the White House: Trump endorses Aukus, signs $8.5bn rare earths deal and calls PM ‘great leader’ President says US has no better friend than Australia but tells ambassador Kevin Rudd “I don’t like you’

Nuts to see the widespread media backpatting of Albanese after he ensures Aus critical minerals will be

- Shipped to a country that'll use them for weapons and AI slop data centres instead of for the energy transition

- Extracted in an env toxic way thanks to the deregulation promised in the deal

“We have been amazing allies” says Trump as our sovereignty goes down the drain and we capitulate to militarism, US hegemony and containment of China. We will inevitably be dragged into a war with our most important trading partner. A sad, dangerous day not a diplomatic triumph!

Sometimes shit is simple

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Folks are asking what to do about the One Special Boy's AI vids and whether they should share them:

MOCK THEM WITHOUT SHARING.

This creates what an enthymeme, where readers have to SUPPLY PART OF THE REFERENT to understand what you are mocking. An enthymeme is the STRONGEST form of persuasion.
