"In theory, nothing governs these companies other than their own morals and their investors. They are developing the power to upend nations and economies. These are the AI superpowers." @matteowong.bsky.social

Wow whatever happened to a little thing called “apes together strong”?

An Incredibly Weird Time to Be Alive The world witnessed the best and worst of humanity in a single week.

“We are, in this tense moment, living with our own overview effect. Four are watching from afar. But the rest of us are watching too—left to reckon with our own place on the pale blue dot, reminded of all the ways we might die, and all the reasons for which to live.” @cwarzel.bsky.social

The Dangers of Unlimited Health Advice Obsessively Googling symptoms is bad. Going down an AI rabbit hole may be worse.

AI may be particularly dangerous for people prone to health anxieties, Sage Lazzaro reports. She spoke with therapists who are concerned that AI chatbots are leading their clients to constantly seek reassurance, exacerbating their conditions:

Mr. Trump sat down, but not in his usual position at the head of the room’s mahogany conference table. Instead, the president took a seat on one side, facing the large screens mounted along the wall. Mr. Netanyahu sat on the other side, directly opposite the president.

Do it! They’re my favorite writer. Invisibles has a recent all-in-one paperback collection or you can read em all on an iPad

Kinda seems like you might like a lot of Grant’s stuff. The Invisibles, The Filth, and Marvel Boy might be up your alley; that last one is superhero-ish but big fun stuff like an alien parasite that takes the form of a living corporation that grows through brand awareness, things of that nature

Regarding the dadaism and wanting more strangeness: “The Painting That Ate Paris,” from Doom Patrol, by Grant Morrison

I recently had the experience of booking a flight months in advance and the airline changing things (the type of plane, maybe?) for no discernible reason, resulting in my wife, three-year-old, and me all being separated. The gate person told us to just figure it out lol. Sometimes it’s the company!

a lot of people are curious about not including rule 1. but, to be fair, rule 1 is 411 pages of legalese about what, precisely, constitutes a death market
