Just hit me why AOC is so good and brilliant at being the adult in the room with all the trashy losers making terrible choices around her. She used to be a bartender.

For anyone else learning about the subprime AI crisis today due to Sora being announced, this is the article referencing the implications of a bad Sora launch... from 2months ago.

The Subprime AI Crisis is still my top bet for the catalyst of the coming Economic Catstrophe. I know Late Stage Capitalism boils the ocean to power itself as a feature; but the parabolic effect of this "AI boom" and it still having virtually zero profitable use cases has to end somewhere.

The only thing stopping us from implementing democracy is our belief that we can't. We could make a plan outside of the government and then follow it based on our belief that it's the best course of action.

SURVIVAL IS NOT ENOUGH. If all our survival needs are unconditionally met, suddenly we're all more able to find the things that make life meaningful. Don't you see? No one wants to just survive, so if we guarantee survival with Universal Basic Income, we catalyze the mass pursuit of true purpose.

It is legal to not repost Matt Yglesias. There is no law that compels you to reply to Matt Yglesias. In fact, no legal authority has the ability to fine, sanction, or arrest you for the offense failure to not engage generally with Yglesias-rated content.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Universal basic income could be a bureaucracy-free safety net for everyone. That would help people pursue their passion by giving them a little extra freedom to take chances. Everyone I know who is successful had that security. It's not all how hard someone works, tho that is important #UBI

Universal Basic Income would enable more ppl to cover unexpected costs such as car and home repairs. And because those funds would circulate among the working class-- mechanics, plumbers, etc, the money would keep circulating and invigorating the economy.
