Sandra Bullock in Variety, with text saying: “Sandra Bullock Supports Al and Says ‘We Have to Make It Our Friend' and ‘Lean Into It': ‘I Do Feel There's a Place For It’”
Guess whose broker just told her how her portfolio’s loaded
the quality of each star trek show is directly proportional to how often you see the characters engaging in hobbies
And so you get the stupidest fucking people who have ever lived, excitedly babbling about half of a badly-remembered distorted approximation of one episode of Star Trek.
"Bro, we're gonna. Bro, we're gonna put dyson spheres around the solar system. Nanites, dude."
And the people leading this are drastically unsuited to the understanding of consciousness and cognition and awareness that would be needed. They don’t even conceive of *emotion* as a component of that.
We don’t know how our own consciousness works. Like we’d be able to create new forms on utterly different matter.

OK today's entry is an important song for those of us who had sapphic realizations watching music videos....
I've mentioned before that Volume 3 is my least favorite covers album of mine -- this song is an exception, I still play it live (day 93)

Anne Hathaway bought the rights to a novel about a tradwife influencer who wakes up in 1855 and has to actually live the life she's been selling online. The book is called Yesteryear. It came out 3 days ago. The film rights were already sold to Hathaway, who will produce and star.
Holy shit, I have NEVER been more excited for a movie.
Also telling that with each revelation of rape group chats of tens of thousands, or rape sites with millions, we're met with handwringing about women's "misandry" & "extremist" views & centering some alleged harm women are doing to deflect from the piling receipts of men's abuse.
We don’t know how our own consciousness works. Like we’d be able to create new forms on utterly different matter.
It was one gummy! What else was I supposed to do with it!
*speaking from experience*
I had a 1000 mg one once and I ended up freaking out in the middle of Powells then throwing up outside.
I can feel the rickety vibration of the whole all wood structure.
The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.
That was a rollercoaster.
Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection.
So forgive me if I smell a rat.
Quislings gonna quis.
remember when celebrities seemingly randomly started coming out talking about how much they loved NFTs and thought it was super valuable and the future?
The proper response is to simply not treat the cocaine-fueled fantasies of a billionaire sex pest as if they have any merit whatsoever, and simply not get caught up in a stoned freshman philosophy 101 argument with the stupidest fucking people who have ever lived.
Part of why this works is because the natural urge is to argue with them as if they're speaking in good faith.
It still benefits their advertisement, and deflection from actual current harms, when people argue about whether their sloppy jalopy can become a god or just a person.
They absolutely want the conversation to be "will this become as a god and judge mankind?!" instead of "what are we doing about all the guys using it to generate CSAM?"
Advertisement, and a way of shifting the conversation from real world harms to their cocaine-fueled delusions of grandeur.
They desperately want people talking about the danger of their dogshit extruder gaining sentience, and not the fact that it is currently actually factually poisoning Black people in the poor regions where they build data centers. Or convincing people to kill themselves, etc.
The billionaire sex pests pushing generative AI keep spinning up badly remembered science fiction scenarios of apocalypse, as both advertisement ("we are literally creating a god... it might be too powerful!") and as a way of shifting the conversation from its actual real world harms it already does
The way he has made 99.5% of politicians look inept as fuck, and just in a matter of months
Exactly one year ago today:
Flattery will get you everywhere.
