Feeling feisty this morning- and that usually leads to prognosticating. So, here goes: "AI" stands for "Artificial Intelligence". The future will show in hindsight that it actually stood for "Artificial Innovation" all along.

Watched a documentary about the "Sea Peoples". The claim was they were fleeing environmental catastrophe. My intuition said no. I guessed they were pirates enabled by cost and advances in seafaring technology. It turns out that IS the latest theory about them haha. Learning is a fun guessing game.
"The politicians basically serve the rich, the wealthy, and their self-interest." Listen to this man in Nigel Farage's constituency.
I love that the worst thing that they can find out about Troy Jackson is that he's been a great long term partner to his 2nd cousin, and a good dad to their children. Clearly the critics have never been to Maine...
Keine Angst: it is odd that the surrounding narrative is on censorship or on the contents of the work, but not on the fact that someone felt the need to write it.
Printing money and printing equity are functionally the same when we're all financialized A society about to experience that it feels the same to not be able to get what you need because of inflation or deflation Like learning the functional difference between a pitchfork and a guillotine
I was raised in a cult. I left the cult only to be indoctrinated into another cult. I've since left that cult. You can't spell "culture" without "cult". Unless someone is actively trying to get you to think for yourself, you are being indoctrinated.
As much time as I have spent in and on the sea- I wish I had spent more.
The largest dinosaur weighed around 85 tons. Some male blue whales weigh as much as 200 tons. A blue whale's heart is 6 feet wide and weighs 400 lbs. The largest animal that ever lived.
What a sick world. One of my earliest childhood memories is when I asked my mother what the number on the bottom of the news on TV meant. She burst into tears and told me it was the number of men killed in Vietnam. Today Al Jazeera has the price of oil on the screen. Burn the motherfucker down.
The Ukrainian people understand that they are not just at war with Russian oligarchs, but ALL oligarchs. Hope we catch up soon.
Welcome to day 144 of- Invade, Nuke, or Walk Away! (144= 1 Gross incidentally)
AI belongs in the domain of the public library. Save public libraries, create knowledge-worker jobs, democratize AI.
Now we don't have to make up new words for the delusions of "centrism". We can just go ahead and call them "corporatists". Welcome to the Estado Novo.
I love Bernie, I have been a Berniecrat since I saw him on Charlie Rose in 2012. I went door to door for him in South Central LA. But he is dead wrong about his approach to AI. Making a sovereign wealth fund out of public AI investment is like making a sovereign wealth fund based on bank robbery.
When brown people can't afford things it is a character flaw. When white people can't afford things it's an affordability crisis.
Carthago delenda est! 2000 years of the ends justifying the means My heart breaks Empire
