Maybe it seems weird that AI bosses won't stop rending their garments about the terrible potential of their bots, from the jobspocalypse that'll ensue when AI does our jobs, to the impending moment when the word-guessing programs learn too many words, wake up and turn us into paperclips. 1/

When Seth Moulton lived in Salem (til recently), he lived on a historic street that every Halloween hosts a quasi-block party. I learned from a neighbor recently that if he was home on Halloween, Seth kept his porch light off so that he wouldn't get trick-or-treaters. Now that's a man of the people!
"Israel, Iran, Russia, Ukraine, the US and more are merging into a mega-war run by robots. They used to call these World Wars. They used to call people on the phone. The most common call I get today is from someone named 'Scam Likely.'" sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/quicksand

I don't even know what I was thinking but The Dead Kennedys in about 2019, with most of the original members but not Jello Biafra sounded like a lark. It was terrible. Sloppy, turgid, low energy, clumsy, and not in a fun punk-rock way but in a 'paycheck' way.
Strait but not Narrows of Hormuz@spacefordogs.bsky.social · 4mo agoOkay, great. You guys have seen a lot of good bands in concert, but I want to know what’s the worst band you’ve seen live? I’ll start During their rise to global conquest the Spin Doctors played in my high school cafeteria. We snuck into the kitchen walk-in to get high to avoid them
not sure if anyone is here at Bluesky. when I visit the site all is calm, unchanging; I have not had a single new follower in many months; exchanges are always interesting & intelligent but relatively few. Bluesky exudes the air of an upscale mall, beautifully maintained, hushed.
My big-brained microeconomic indicator is that my once half-filled commuter train home is now packed to the rafters.
I really miss 2020-23 in one very narrow specific sense. For a time there, most people agreed that going out in public with a persistent cough wasn't cool. Judging by the constant background of phlegmy sounds at the lecture I attended last night, I guess we're done with that now.
