🆕 Never Post! A.I. and New American Fascism Is a generated aesthetic the look of our times?

This @neverpo.st episode on the question of whether "AI" is the esthetics of American Fascism is great. @mikerugnetta.com takes you on an enlightening stroll through media theory and the fucked up reality we live in. It's challenging but worth it. https://www.neverpo.st/a-i-and-new-american-fascism/

Cool app, definitely worth 500 billion dollars!

On the centenary of Thatcher's birth, there have been predictable calls for a memorial to her memory. But Britain's 2300 food banks serve that purpose already.

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

Whoever can see a path to forgiveness for anyone in ICE is better than me or deluded. I can’t decide which.

I’m just waiting on all the Neoliberals who spent years communicating white supremacist smears about so-called second and third world countries not being able to sustain democracy or being susceptible to corruption to step up and apologize, but I’m not holding my breath.

For just $30 an hour I will watch streaming shows with your parents and tell them whether something is a flashback

What BC opposition party politics looks like

The Coca-Cola Freestyle machine is an echo chamber. Good luck finding nuanced debates about hot button issues on that touch screen. It’s just soda names and flavored syrups

Rotating Sandwiches that's it

When people say bring back the old web this is what they mean

I mean it’s possible he genuinely misses the point but I think he’s smarter than that and just stuck in the Grifter’s Purgatory with enough numbers to keep going but never enough to break out

Peacemaker s2 finale wasn't great. A long music video and a couple speeches that seemed to forget what its job was and just settled for a lazy s3 set up.

JJ never misses a chance to disingenuously miss the key point. Wilson’s sign met the definition of 3rd part ads and all he had to do was register (which he eventually did). The ad definition can be legit debated but nobody’s fucking right to say something has been taken away.

if we'd treated their obvious baldfaced lies and deflections more like this over the past eight years maybe we wouldn't be in this situation

shocking how easy it is when you actually see it done

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

we need to matrix the oligarchs, is what I think I'm saying here

Nate Silver @NateSilver538 • 5h •.° I'm just one person, and my programming needs are somewhat unusual (building various kinds of statistical forecasting models). But I'm just not seeing the consistent productivity gains from LLMs that I would have expected if you'd asked me 6 months ago.

AI has lost the dunce vote. It’s over

Rob Shaw: NDP moves to scrap second road test without proving it’s safe for B.C. roads Opposition argues inexperience remains a leading cause of crashes

The Province is speeding the wrong direction down a one-way street. Making access to driving easier and cheaper while stripping away safety measures in the name of "efficiencies". This is the opposite of Vision Zero. www.biv.com/news/comment...

ICE drag girl out of car & body slam her to ground—then pin her face down & kneel on her neck.

"I'm 15!" she cries out. "I'm not resisting!"

Agents have now asked multiple area housing associations to unlock main doors—so they can go door to door.

Hoffman Estates, Illinois

Amazing that a coalition of conspiracy cranks and Twitter-poisoned bigots couldn’t hold it together for 6 months.

I bet Rustad really thought he was a king and not a useful prop for these freaks to dance around for a while.

What Thiel is saying about tax havens = what Altman is saying about copyright:

"I can't be rich unless you let me steal from you."

This is how Broligarchs differ from oligarchs of yore: the latter tried to hide their thievery; the Broligarchs trumpet their entitlement to steal as a natural right.

Another example of why we need to replace the police with real emergency responders. People trained to provide medical care rather than pass racist judgement.
