I understand the desire people have to regulate AI, but I worry that it could be very bad if the current AI companies capture the regulatory apparatus to prevent competition and concentrate the tech industry even more. That might even be the play here.
Anytime a country musician starts singing about the wife that left him, I immediately take the wife's side
It'll be so weird in 2136 when people can still watch livestreams from 2018. It would be like watching a livestream from 1900 today.
Recently discovered the album Untrue by Burial. Really like it but it's not the kind of music I'm used to.
Sometimes I will still remember randomly that dream I had many years ago where I was being chased through the woods by Weeping Angels from Doctor Who. It was one of the most terrifying dreams I've ever had.
I think one of my favorite setting tropes in fiction is the huge futuristic city that is both beautiful and yet deeply dystopian.

AI isn't the problem. The economic structure in which AI is currently embedded is the problem.
America refusing to embrace green energy, relying on fossil fuels, and then getting into wars in which they destroy the supply of that energy source they refuse to divest from is kind of stupid if you think about it for more than 3 seconds.
I hope one day the right figures out that heavy restrictions on immigration and trade is the polar opposite of a free market. You can't coherently be in favor of both.
It's so weird the kind of corrupt shit super wealthy people get up to. If I was a billionaire I would just spend all day reading at home.
Suppose the air conditioning in your car stopped working, and you brought the car into the shop, and the mechanic said, “I am afraid your car is broken, so I have started dismantling it”. That, in a nutshell, is what Trump and Musk are doing to your country.
I just discovered a new band called Future Palace and I absolutely love them.
