@…
Incidentally, just after you posted, author Greg Egan posted a conversation a different author had with an AI that is stunningly impressive until the end, which reveals that the AI text was thoroughly and fatally flawed in a horrible way, and it just lied.
It's long, but you could skim the beginning and then skim the end if you are time-limit…

Still some time to come over to TU Berlin to talk about "Fascist AI" with us.

In the spring and summer of 2008, when Donald Trump was still a registered Democrat,
an anonymous blogger known as Mencius Moldbug posted a serial manifesto under the heading
“An Open Letter to Open-Minded Progressives.”
Written with the sneering disaffection of an ex-believer,
the hundred-and-twenty-thousand-word letter argued that egalitarianism,
far from improving the world,
was actually responsible for most of its ills.
That his bien-pensant re…

Deep punches the ball back into the stumps at the non-striker's end but Tongue is unable to get any skin on it. It looked like Gill had got his bat behind the line regardless.

ok, I can't find the original, I think it was someone's scrobble stream in my feed. Anyways, one you brilliant bastards posted #assassing by #Marillion. I'd heard of Marillion before but never really _listened_. Damn, how have I been listening to

Take the right seat on the train, and you have two jobs already:
1. Telling people that the toilet is occupied, because the lock isn't reliable.
2. Telling people that exterior doors are broken, because they don't see the warning pasted on the door.

America’s democratic collapse has been coming for years, always just over the horizon.
But when everything that happened during Trump’s first three months in office happened and
(here’s the important part)
shockingly little was done by the few groups
(Congress, the Supreme Court, the Democratic Party, American corporations & other large institutions, media companies)
who had the power to counter it,
I knew it was over.
And over in a way that is…

I’m going to be very honest and clear.
I am fully preparing myself to die under this new American regime.
That’s not to say that it’s the end of the world. It isn’t.
But I am almost 50 years old. It will take so long to do anything with this mess that this is the new normal for *me*.
I do hope a lot of you run. I hope you vote, sure.
Maybe do a general strike or rent strike.
All great!
But I spent the last week reading things and this is not, for ME…
