Was Misik da ausgegraben hat, hätte m.E. seit mindestens 25 Jahren ein Leitfaden für progressive Politik sein müssen.
*The Authoritarian Personality* kam schließlich schon 1950 heraus (und bei Adornos Ruf gehe ich davon aus, dass die üblichen Klugscheißer es auch mitbekommen haben. 😉)
"Es ist ein Spektrum" konnte man auch spätestens vor fünf Jahren locker aus der Hüfte ergänzen.
Trotzdem wurde eine erschlagende Bandbreite an Themen auf das Wahlvolk losgelassen. Füm…

Former Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene
took to X on Saturday, August 1,
claiming that she and a number of fellow conservative allies had thrown their support behind Donald Trump on the basis of an America First agenda
— one she says he has since abandoned.
"We said no more foreign wars,
and we meant it and supported Donald Trump because he made that promise.
But he's betrayed us all,"
MTG wrote in the Instagram post.

One thing that LLMs are good for: exposing undiagnosed narcissistic personality disorder in people.
If you use an LLM to generate something and then expect that people look at it or read it and admire you for it—that's 100% textbook narcissistic behavior.

Asked to answer as a typical human, every cutting-edge AI model rated us markedly
more neurotic, less open, less agreeable and less conscientious
than they rated themselves.
The gap on Neuroticism alone is 1.69 points on a 5-point scale.
Across 31 models from seven labs they answer the personality tests in unison:
high openness, low Dark Triad, Universalism on top, Power dead last
in every single model.

But of course this hope is not emperically founded and, well, just an unrealistic hope. And this ties in with the greater picture of technology. "Tech" has become a slur.
Find a tech CEO who is an inspiring personality on the Steve Jobs level.
Find a current technology that inspires people to do great things and to be the best version of themselves?
There are these things in niches, but not on the scale of the iPhone, say.

Content warning: Short Men get bullied :( & “Heightism” | Mentions of Suicide
I've seen multiple posts claiming that “heightism” is anything but an incel manosphere term to convince insufferable men that they aren't unlikeable due to their personality, but the reason women don't sleep with them is because of something they can't control (their height). I just must say the obvious: that's bullshit.

Like Narcissus, the mythical figure who gave name to Trump’s most prominent personality flaw,
the president became fixated on the famous Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool,
hoping to repaint it so that it mirrored his imagined brilliance.
Instead, the algae-ridden water has turned into an on-the-nose metaphor for his own decrepitude,
as tourists have begun swarming it so they can mock this totem of Trump’s failures.

Somehow we got talking at length to a Benedictine monk here. One of his jobs is beekeeping 🐝 (having looked after them for 18 years), and it was amazing to hear first hand of bee intelligence. He said so much, but in summary: that he has a relationship with the bees, that they recognise humans (and recognise him), and that one can discern in experience personality among bees - both as individual and as hive.

It’s “great” how we finally have a glimpse of at least partially working 5GL (using LLMs to generate code is very close to the 1980s dream of constraint-based programming) and immediately everyone was like “we need to apply this to all areas of human life, doesn’t matter if it’s bullshit that isn’t even remotely working for those areas”.
What really gets me is the extreme hubris and delusion of grandeur that so many programmers and tech people have about this.
Don’t let your character flaws and personality issues out to make other people suffer. Idk get therapy.

Thomas Massie, 55, is already the exception to the rule of Republican politics.
While others have capitulated and genuflected to the president over the past decade, eliciting comparisons with a personality cult,
the seven-term congressman with a libertarian bent has emerged as ever more defiant.
He voted against Trump’s sprawling tax and spending cuts bill; co-authored legislation compelling the justice department to release the Jeffrey Epstein files;
