  • ^This. This. And this. I wish the blue tsunami was an awakening of the American people who have learned their lesson from their brush with fascism. They realize human rights apply to all humans, that the rule of law is fundamental to a functioning society, that capitalism needs guardrails.

    They didn’t. They voted to oust the party who impacted them personally. And if gas prices and interest rates go down a bit, they’ll be right back to their usual identity politics.

    I was wrong about the midterm. I didn’t think the Dems had a hope in hell of winning both houses of Congress. I hope I am wrong about this and Dems get off their asses, work to restore rule of law and immediately shift to real governmental reform to prevent this kind of slide to fascism and corruption much harder. We have done it before, so that gives me hope.













  • If microwaves are the analogy for AI then I’m good with it. In my house today I have an oven, a stovetop, a counter top toaster oven/air fryer thingy, and a microwave. Each serves its own purpose but none replaces the other completely.

    If in the future AI is a tool that sits and waits it’s turn for me to use it for the thing it is best at then I think it will have a place.

    If instead it costs a subscription fee, is forced into every other appliance, replaces jobs en mass, and accelerates the downfall of the climate I’m gonna pass.
