A party winning supporters by literally improving people's lives has become a radical idea
wishda@wishda.bsky.social · 5d agoThe DSA in Wilmingotn, N.C. has created a "crisis" by putting benches at city bus stops, after literal decades of the city promising and failing to do so.
We could be building affordable housing at the speed of data centers. We could be creating new child care centers at the speed of ICE arrests. We could be reducing health care costs at the speed we are increasing defense funding. Congress's priorities are off. Let's replace them!
You gotta love it when the president of the US declares that he will steal money and give it to his criminal friends if his corrupt personal lawyer is not put in charge of the federal legal system.
This is propaganda for socialized healthcare, think of the indie bands we'd still have if everyone could go to the doctor

The “losing control” narrative creates the loss of control. Nobody is losing control of an emerging intelligence. They’re redirecting their own agency to it, as a way of diffusing responsibility, but the self-perpetuated intelligence myth has them convinced they have no choice.

A handful of guys asserting the right to pillage all human knowledge and creative labor to sell it back to people they've convinced not to value human knowledge and creative labor in order to amass personal wealth and power is not only gross, it's profoundly uninteresting.
One of the biggest challenges to teaching right now is trust, which has been eroded by gen AI — for professors AND students. Copware isn’t the way to get it back.

A form of Critical Technical Practice is useful here: I use the models, carefully, with one foot in and one foot out, to observe how it changes me — as Paik says, “I use technology in order to hate it properly.” I’m not asking people to do this, but to listen to folks who do.
Shannon Vallor@shannonvallor.bsky.social · 3w agoIt bothers me how many AI critics are failing to keep their critiques aligned with where the models actually are. I hate to give it to the haters (of the haters), but good criticism has to get close enough to its target to understand it, and stay close.

Sonic Pi v5 now opens up with a new Quickstart Card system. This gets people up and running much faster and more joyfully than a long wordy tutorial. You can play the cards directly or drag them into the editor to use the snippet in your own composition.
In America today, the wealthiest 1% is now worth more than the entire American middle class. That never happened before.
An amazing quote from Lindsey Graham in this Atlantic story. It really captures an essential truth about politics that too few people ever really come to terms with. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
This is really a model for integrating sound in a node-based environment -- and a moment to reflect on the long history of Mark Coniglio's work as an artist and developer that led to this moment in audiovisual interaction.

convincing people that computers are smart was a huge mistake. computers are exactly as stupid now as they were in 1975, they're just much faster at stupid.

Underappreciated Sam Neill role: the Antichrist as politician
In 60 days or so, we’ll face an election we can’t successfully win without a landslide. Any low-percentage win and they’ll do what we know they already know exactly how to do, and more. We’ve all seen it happen. So we need that landslide victory. We all must vote.

This gets to a crucial point: big AI models must be nationalized, not only to control their impact and uses, but also because they appropriated our collective knowledge.
Jacobin@jacobinmag.bsky.social · 4w agoIf taxpayers bail out the AI industry when its bubble bursts, as seems increasingly likely, we shouldn’t repeat the mistakes of the 2008 crisis. A public bailout should mean nationalizing AI.
