On the one hand, I'm always depressed when somebody turns out to have AI psychosis. But it's nice to be like, "Well, great that I never have to think about anything that person makes or does anymore." So much time to find more genuine, honest creators!

“I carry with me a photo of a Muslim child who, during my visit to Lebanon, was standing there holding a sign that said ‘Welcome, Pope Leo,’ and in this latest phase of the war, he was killed. “As a Church, I say again: as a pastor, I cannot be in favor of war.” — Pope Leo XIV

Unfortunately, Sorkin's skillset (showing interesting, intellectual, competent people grappling in good faith with complex moral and systematic issues) is singularly inappropriate for any honest look at the current crop of tech overlords - who have proven to be fascist morons.

ChatGPT helped facilitate the FSU shooter. Unfortunately, this is one of many AI-facilitated atrocities; we already know that the models regularly encourage young people to harm themselves. This tech is basically SkyNet, incompatible w human wellness. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

It is May Day, a day for workers and solidarity. I usually do a fundraiser but not this year because I am under federal investigation for being too unbutterable and I don’t want the feds in your money

"The advance of capitalist production develops a working class which by education, tradition and habit looks upon the requirements of that mode of production as self-evident natural laws." Marx, Capital I, Part VIII, Ch. 28

"It is not enough that the conditions of labour are concentrated at one pole of society in the shape of capital, while at the other pole are grouped masses of men who have nothing to sell but their labour-power. Nor is it enough that they are compelled to sell themselves voluntarily. The advance of capitalist production develops a working class which by education, tradition, and habit looks upon the requirements of that mode of production as self-evident natural laws. The organizations of the capitalist process of production, once it is fully developed, breaks down all resistance. The constant generation of a relative surplus population keeps the law of supply and demand of labour, and therefore wages, within narrow limits which correspond to capital's valorization requirements. The silent compulsion of economic relations sets the seal on the domination of the capitalist over the worker."
