Welcome to the capitalist innovation museum we got

- scam machine
- psychosis inducing machine
- weapons of mass destruction
- button you push that makes the planet hotter
- markets that intentionally starve people
- clothes that fall apart after washing them 1 time
- medicine you can’t afford

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:

Text from essay: β€˜I might note that I am especially drawn to women’s stories and accounts, perhaps because I am a woman and I make natural connections. For example, the following day after surviving the Wounded Knee Massacre, Mrs. Mosseau wore three dressesβ€”this image has hooked me, years after reading her account. I think about being a woman in this world, in this country to be specific, and the lengths to which I have been stretched. Yet, our grandmothers, they endured more. I know this so I keep going, sometimes, only, because I can. And I have learned that along the wayβ€”en route, when there is timeβ€”a dress can be ripped up to bandage.’

thinking of Layli Long Soldier and this passage:

β€˜I think about being a woman in this world, in this country to be specific, and the lengths to which I have been stretched…

And I have learned that along the wayβ€”en route, when there is timeβ€”a dress can be ripped up to bandage.’

Native plants are tied to the successful lifecycle of numerous butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera). Important not only for their nectar, many natives play the critical role of "larval host plant." Host plants provide food during the caterpillar phase of the butterfly/moth lifecycle.

While trees tend to "host the most," numerous Lepidoptera rely on wildflowers, ferns, grasses or shrubs as host for their larval phase. Some deposit their eggs on one plant species, to the exclusion of others, as is the case with Monarch butterflies and milkweed plants (Asclepias sp.). Other butterflies might be less exclusive when it comes to which plants will host their caterpillars, but they do have preferences.

Reading bios of women from the 60s and 70s and it's like "Poet, Revolutionary, Theorist. Spent three years in prison for setting fire to a draft office. Paul Simon wrote 'Rag Time Boogie Woogie Woo Woo Baby' about her."

Of all the violently eugenic things RFK has said, claiming that autistic people will never write a poem is one of the most ridiculous! Poetry!? You mean one of the preferred modes of expression for people misunderstood by society? Baby, you can’t spell poeticism without tism!

Let’s be clear: the Department of Education exists because states wouldn’t fund poor schools, wouldn’t protect kids with disabilities, wouldn’t follow civil rights law, especially in the South. Anyone calling to abolish it is calling to turn back the clockβ€”and we can’t let that happen.
