The "AI" aspiration is linked, in the words and deeds of its own greatest boosters, with explicitly fascist, racist, misogynist ideology.
It just is.
It must be really easy, surely, for some of these people to come up with a tally of how many lives have been improved by being "illiberal"? That would be an obvious and clear thing to do, wouldn't it? There must be so many examples...
this is so comically hamhanded it has a real chance of boosting Kat over the finish line in what is an incredibly close primary
there’s a lot of bad money floating around elections but some of it is very stupid
fuck this so much
we are so not prepared for the mountain of dogshit “scholarship” about to flood journals everywhere
Gosh.
Missile by missile, the US is blowing its own hegemony apart.
This is the pentagon press corp now: hand picked propagandists
The number one website currently cited in Google’s AI search mode? It’s Google.
The second? That’s YouTube, which is also owned by Google.
Google’s using circular hyperlinks in AI Mode to keep users locked into their platforms. My latest for @wired.com:

This is too ambiguous. Civilian Pentagon or uniformed? If the latter, I want endless mea culpas from the retired GO classes, because they reared echelons of morons.

Allowing trump to have the final say on who gets to compete in the Olympics will definitely have an impact on women's sport
I think about this quote from All The Presidents Men constantly- “The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand”.
Tommy Tuberville is just redneck trash and I wish him nothing but ill will.
1. Brown

A very obviously appeal to the Nigel-tempted there.
the Labour Right /are/ unhinged, neoliberal, transphobic Yankophiles content to turn a blind eye to genocide. the Labour Left /are/ moronic campists who do not feel any need to project competence or sanity, who probably do think a Jewish cabal is why they can't achieve anything

It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.
*If you have a "Software Dark Factory" where all the software is written by AIs, how do you test that software to see if it really works? #DarkFactory

“wanting to be a shitty person and hanging out with other shitty people and then being surprised pikachu when they are shitty to you” really is the perfect summary of the modern right
Look, markets are rational, OK? They just are. I read it somewhere…
Imagine how many more suckers Caesar’s Palace could get if it rebranded as a market…
