Dsytopisch. Man muss es immer und immer und immer wieder wiederholen: Die ganze angebliche Sorge um Meinungsfreiheit ist vorgeschoben, die "Cancel Culture / Free Speech"-Erzählung war von Anfang an auf autoritären Regime Change gerichtet. Belege: Wirklich nahezu alles, was diese Leute tun.

Newsletter: There is no AI Revolution. Consumer adoption of generative AI outside of ChatGPT is barely 100 million people, every single company in generative AI is deeply unprofitable, Microsoft is pulling capex, and OpenAI spent $9bn in 2024 to lose $5bn. www.wheresyoured.at/wheres-the-m...

Google obliterated their search function for this

This is 100% correct — I have heard the Silicon Valley money guys admit as much out loud, about *all* of these fools.

As someone who's also expensive and doesn't work very well I'm getting tired of you all picking on AI

I hate that we didn’t laugh the ridiculous and wrong-headed notion that “government should run like a business” out of existence the moment it popped up.

My message to the world

Literally any reporter who treated this device seriously when it was so obviously stupid should be laughed out of any room they're in. Abominably stupid product, obviously silly, execution was worse than expected. A landmark moment for the AI bubble. The first of many to die

I've been writing BLOOD IN THE MACHINE for months, but I was on the fence about going all-in. Recent events have made the call easier. Elon Musk, the Silicon Valley oligarchs and their AI are taking over. I want to do all I can to push back. I hope you'll join me, and I'm asking for your support.

When you don't know what you're talking about except in broad strokes and everything has just kind of worked out for you no matter how much of a brat or a pissant you were, you begin acting in ways that actively work against your best interests, inevitably ruining your life and those around you

Das spätbürgerliche Grundgefühl oszilliert zwischen den Polen "brecht endlich die Macht der Behörden" und "unglaublich, warum macht der Staat da nichts" – die gleichzeitige Sehnsucht nach persönlicher Willkür (Freiheit™️) und der harten Hand gebiert die geistigen Voraussetzungen der Diktatur.

Aus dem Leben eines Querdenkers…

In my next newsletter I'm going to write about OpenAI Deep Research, and it is so bad in some cases that it would not be acceptable as a high school essay. Casey Newton's example - linked on this post - cites Hackernews and Reddit as primary sources. AI Slop For Academia chatgpt.com/share/67a15d...

As DOGE began infiltrating government agencies and targeting federal staff for termination, I started interviewing tech workers on the front lines. With the mass layoffs unfolding today, and with their permission, I'm sharing their stories. This is what it's been like to endure Musk's campaign.

The only sensible response to J.D. Vance‘s speech in Munich would be to shut down X in Europe. Because that seems to be the thing he was sent to fight, with threats and insults. He just said what Elon had told him to. If X loses Europe, it‘s decline to obsolescence gets steeper.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

Blyth: "We've just pulled the scab off of what America is, a right-wing oligarchy with a democracy for tax purposes." radioopensource.org/blyth-is-back/

Vance now actively endorsing far right parties in Europe betrays the legacy of the American men and women who gave their lives to liberate Europe from fascism.

Vance visiting Dachau when his own government has banned governmental observance of Holocaust Remembrance Day, all while endorsing German fascists afterwards and telling democratic German parties to work WITH the fascists, is truly vile and disgusting, even for what we expect of him.

In a way, he's right. He's authentically a cynical, venal, ignorant, narcissistic, cretinous blowhard and, sadly, in this shitty bourgeois culture, that sells.

Sleep well tonight knowing his army of tech bros now has to digest his incredible lack of basic software engineering knowledge.

Newsletter: The tech industry has turned on the consumer, using abusive, manipulative software as a means of extracting wealth from every corner of our lives. Both society and the tech media must fight back, as I believe many of us deeply love our tech. www.wheresyoured.at/what-were-fighting-for/

The big takeaway here is that Reuters won this case against the AI company on grounds they violated fair use—the judge found the AI company was guilty because, in using copyrighted works to generate its output, it “meant to compete... by developing a market substitute.” Huge.

Ein zutiefst unmenschlicher und geschichtsvergessener Text. Aber er illustriert gut, wie man am Ende zu einer fröhlichen Verteidigung von ethnischer Säuberung kommt, wenn man von der effektiven Geschichte wenig weiss. www.nzz.ch/meinung/gaza...

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

This is pretty shocking. Make sure you look in the lower right hand corner.

Was die Zerschlagung der öffentlichen Verwaltung, wie wir sie gerade in den USA erleben, mit KI zu tun hat, habe ich vor kurzem aufgeschrieben

Warum die radikale Rechte generative KI liebt und wie Midjourney & Co. die Ästhetik des gegenwärtigen digitalen Faschismus prägen, darüber durfte ich in «Geschichte der Gegenwart» (@g-d-gegenwart.bsky.social) schreiben #PlatformRealism geschichtedergegenwart.ch/echte-emotio...

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

Go back 45 years to 1980 and tell Ronald Reagan his revolution ends in a Republican president enacting 25% tariffs on our biggest trading partners in 2025.

Marx remains undefeated, just replace it with "cultural marxism" or "wokeness"

@onthemedia.bsky.social interview with Ed Zitron is a blistering takedown of the unrestrained greed of big tech, and the small-minded arrogance of their business. Really worth a listen: www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...
