YouTube video by Taylor Lorenz Tortured in an Israeli Prison for Speaking Out

A necessary watch and a groundbreaking video by @taylorlorenz.bsky.social that’s being shadowbanned by YT. I hope other platforms won’t be so complicit in hiding a genOcide

This is what's revolutionary, no tech no coin no ai

Fantasia is all I think about when I think about the Kinect.

I read that as ‘mediocrity‘ and agreed for a second before realising!

You look fitter than ever, that’s so nice to see and glad to have spot on back

Its the "demi lovato - what's your favorite dish - mugs" of books but Patrick in fact understood the assignment.

My new theory is “ChatGPT psychosis“ is exactly what we’ve done to rich people, and royalty before them: thoughtlessly indulged their worst desires and beliefs in an attempt to make them happy, thus creating entitled beings detached from reality.

Watch it till the end, every word, my lord.

"Poverty and debt have a very different meaning for those who build their lives around relationships with others: it is much more likely to mean being unable to provide birthday presents for one’s daughter, or watching her develop symptoms of diabetes without being able to take her to a doctor, or watching one’s mother die without ever having been able to take her o for a week or two of vacation, not even once in her life" . - David Graeber

When you are in poverty and in debt, life is tough.

By 2030, 1 in 4 women in developed countries will remain childfree.

Up to 45% will be single by choice.

Society will frame this as a crisis.
Governments will panic over birth rates.
This is about choice though…

It's about women walking away from the roles that kept men comfortable and powerful.

The only writing advice I stand by across the board is that you should read widely, read good writers attentively, take pleasure in their use of language-the rhythms, the imagery, the clarity, conviction, beauty, insight, whatever it is each has to offer. You have to feel the language in some way.

It has started the AI has become smart enough to employ human's to play AI.

there's an excellent game on this premise called Blackbar on phones.

100% this

For anyone wondering -

Largely it takes seven to eight times more energy (basically electricity) to train AI and furthermore an AI search like a ChatGPT requires five times more energy than a normal web search.

That “speaks to our own” is why I love it so much. Most side missions have an angle with a real world parallel, which is incredible

It’s such an American trait to go to a new country and quickly be like - let me tell you about this country like - I discovered it in some cases - I’m the expert 😂😂

“Mock your appearance” how is he ever gonna credibly manage that? Noah looks awesome

The White House has become a marketing activation, unbelievable.

Love these, you don’t come for king klippenstein and leave unscathed 💪🏽

What we would timidly think in our minds, barely ever speak out in our bedrooms, we ended up broadcasting on social media barring consequence and that - history will determine - was the beginning of the end for humanity and Humanity.

the Jeremy Allen Black joke in Abbott Elementary (s3e1) is sensational.
