One of the foundational laws of conservativism is that parents own their children, and the concept of a minor to them is one of earning the right to self-ownership (which remains a privilege in their eyes even after adulthood) rather than guardianship as a means to cultivate natural self ownership.

I suggest that we start using the phrase "Mr. Beast and the CEO of Salesforce will be there too." as shorthand to explain how little we want to be at any given terrible event.

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

a few candidates have talked about this but any Dem planning to run in 2028 should make it explicit: the next DOJ will, in fact, go after you if you’re funding this awful ballroom, or any other pay to play deals you make with this administration
Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

Remember, the big argument for AI in the arts is that these “artists” have ideas, hundreds of ideas, thousands, all that was stopping them was the hoards of gatekeeping musicians, writers, illustrators… and not that they were lazy and didn’t want to put in the work.

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.

If we're not prepared to say the president is illegitimate and all his pardons are null and void then any talk of consequences for his sycophants and mass murderers is only performative

A VP of Tech once submitted and assigned 200+ Jira cards to me that had been AI generated based on meeting notes. I closed ~80 of them as "won't do", consolidated half of the remaining and spent the next month outlining concrete deliverables for each. I believe these stats wholeheartedly.

It's honestly bizarre. Humanoid is a shape that you only make through a series of random selections over a vast period of time when every intermediate form must be fit-to-purpose. It shouldn't be something you do on purpose.
Robot development really is quite amazing. I'm always surprised that so many manufacturers, given the freedom to design a body in any form they want, are just going with "let's copy the human form" or variations on the robot dog theme.

I see AI slop in anything, I instantly disregard the whole thing. It's like finding a slug in your salad. If you can't write without an LLM, or you can't source art that isn't genAI, you can't be trusted to do anything. Sorry. Absolute deal-breaker.
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.
