AI as a Fascist Artifact (This is a bit of a merger of two talks I recently gave about fascism and AI. One was in German at the Cables Of Resistance conference, one in English at the Milton Wolf Seminar on Media and Diplomacy. I added some shots of the slides I used as a structure for the text which […]

In which I argue that "AI" as we understand it today is a structurally fascist artifact.

a photo of a Great Potoo. How to describe? This is a bird that has highly-camoflaged featheres that look like pale tree bark. It has huge black marbles for eyes, a large grinning pink frogmouth beak and appears to be wearing a wig of sorts. It looks like a talkshow host who just cracked a joke & is waiting for audience applause.

I can't stop looking at this image of a Great Potoo. This is a real animal & not a Jim Henson puppet. HT @ewacat.bsky.social for drawing my attention to this fucking weirdo. more excellent pics here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potoo

The painting "Night in the Steppe" shows a vast plain under a bright full moon, the light being distributed over the landscape and the water in an almost magical way.

This work is made by the renowned Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk, who invented the unique painting style called "plyontanism" (from the Ukrainian word plyontaty, meaning "to braid"). This technique consists of hundreds of fine, intertwined lines that create depth and an almost textile-like texture.

Prediction markets, like crypto, like AI, are simply just another large-scale expression of COVID trauma among the mangerial class and now they're using them to turn a fucking war into a pyramid scheme they can scam each other into investing in.
