An invisible forever chemical rain is falling across the planet #environment
Bryan Johnson,
a 48 year old American entrepreneur,
has made headlines for his outlandish anti-ageing techniques
-- spending millions of dollars in a bid to extend his life
and reduce his biological age to that of an 18-year-old.
Johnson refers to his Benjamin Button-esque ways as
‘Project Blueprint’,
meticulously taking 54 supplements a day,
eating every meal between 6am and 11.30am,
and following a strict exercise regimen.

I have some sketches of an essay that I need to write, but I think it's worth brain-dumping a bit more in the mean time.
#LLMs are an attempt to make tech grow forever. But like, how many "your mom/a friend, but done by a precarious worker instead" apps do we really need? Everything right now is in the AI grift hole, but there's almost nothing of interest (even if you ignore the ethical concerns). Like, no, I don't fucking want a robot to lie to me about my groceries. That doesn't sound like a useful feature. There's a lot of useless shit being pumped out to prop up the bottom line, and a lot of people just want to be able to use their old phone for more than a couple of years.
No one is happy with this. No one wants this. Except the billionaires who are forcing us all to drink the capitalism koolaid, because they'd rather exterminate life on earth than live in a world where they experience consequences.
Nothing grows forever. That's not how literally anything in reality works, or has ever worked, at all in history. Some people think that the universe itself may work like that, but that's only an educated guess. Finite things don't grow forever. Every organism, every society, every technology, every dynamic and adaptive system we have ever known goes through a growth phase and then goes in to a stabilization phase. Or, following a Malthusian pattern, grows until it reaches a catastrophic point and collapses. Like lemmings. Or reindeer. Or cancer.
“…prejudice blocking online creators & indie filmmakers from traditional distribution outlets is still occurring, but…model is broken. The glass is forever cracked. Fans, Creators & audience-community productions now play a center role in launching & developing new talent (that’s you!)…if you want to continue to be a storyteller you must make your own films & TV, or at the very least, surround yourself w/those who do.”
The Internet is forever, you morons. What a bunch of losers.

Man I love how "Diamonds Are Forever" just picks up like OHMSS never existed.
Also, speedrunning the 60s via these films, interesting to watch culture and fashion changing so much in like 7 years.
