Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job. AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

This whole section really.

Growing up reading ‘Red Storm Rising’ the impact of Ukraine’s strike at Russia’s strategic bomber fleet can’t be understated. Those assets can’t be easily replaced. Thank you.

And it’s depressing to think the only way out is for the grim reaper to catch up with these bitter old men.

I don’t think everyone will wake up to the fact that Ukraine is WW3, it’s just simmering, with USA pullout of nato it will boil. Our geographical and political isolation will not be enough. A true failure. 😞

Enjoy the sunny days when you can.

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

Starting to feel the need to read ‘Hardwired’ by Walter Jon Williams again.

Sad day…RIP David Lynch….forever a legend 🙏

MSM got me earlier, I raged posted, I’ve deleted the post, I hope to pause for thought in the future. It did help me find and block some bots.
Save your energy and focus for the real fight, not what they want you distracted by.

Thinking about the past few day's news cycle. Why would Trump want Pete Hegseth as SoD? That's the guy that would head a military coup against him.

Why dunk on theater kids? What cool high school click did you belong to that translated once you graduated.
Bullies going to bully.

Very happy to declare I am a theater kid. Gave me a home when my life went off ‘program’ in high school. Got my BFA in drama (set design) and entertainment has been my career for 30+ years.

Hey for profit news, can we wait till we get 80-90% of the votes counted before we call it for one candidate or the other? Your numbers are misleading.

I left Twitter the week after Space Karen bought it so have to post my CAH lawsuit here.

Elon Musk Owes You $100 • Cards Against Humanity Saves America Day 7 Elon Musk stole your land, and now he owes you $100.

In 2017, I paid Cards Against Humanity to protect a pristine plot of border land from Trump’s racist wall. But then an even richer, more racist billionaire—Elon Musk—stole my land and dumped his shit all over it. @ElonMusk owes me $100. #ElonOwesMe100Bucks www.ElonOwesYou100Dollars.com

"Kamala Harris for the people," nothing hits home as much for me as this. Thank you, Madam Vice President, future President Harris!

I would watch both for sure and would love to work on them!

Re watched the whole series on BritBox recently. Explaining to my daughter that she would win at trivia night/ pub quiz by knowing 'Blake's 7.'

Thanks Coach, I needed that peep talk.
The audacity of hope to fight back the darkness.

Was Citizens United our first step toward Kleptocracy or was that during Regan? SCOTUS says it's OK for the executive branch to crime as well as themselves. Late stage capitalism, if you don't have the cash forget about being treated equally.
