The military has failed. Those who assured me that this military would never follow illegal orders have been shown to have woefully misplaced faith.

In this episode of "blown away by AI", Claude was able to explain to me what the "Pol & Bob" sticker on my CMJ badge from 1990 was--simply from a photo of my badge.
And it went on to describe that era as the "golden era of college radio". That made me smile :)

📌"I have typed before, and will until my last breath, that Black voters are America’s TRUE patriots, and the only voting bloc that overwhelmingly and consistently gets it right.
How incredibly sad it must be to see white people elect bile who see white supremacy as a virtue, instead of a plague."

One of the many areas in which modern capitalists fail to under stand capitalism is this:
If your pricing goal is to capture all the value your product adds, then the net is that your product adds no value.

Here's a thread on a concrete example of why vibe coding with AI is shit (meaning an inexperienced non-developer using AI to write code for a useful app).
I asked Claude to create some data visualization for my music practice.
It created a genuinely useful design. Time to celebrate?
No.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth chastised Sen. Mark Kelly for incorrectly displaying his military uniform medals, not comprehending that photographs reverse images from left to right. Here’s what that says about Joe Biden’s cognitive state.

I don't know exactly why, but I've never been a huge Alanis Morrissette fan.
OK, that's not true. I know why. "Ironic" really put me off. It's a crappy song with crappy lyrics.
But, damn, "You Oughta Know" is so good and the bass line is just an absolute blast to play.
