This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

As a side note, it’s funny to see so many of these emails with thirsty academics repeatedly enact Marx’s bit in the 1844 Manuscripts about the power of money. “Oh Mr Epstein, your house in New York is enormous and, unrelatedly, your questions at dinner were so intelligent, so insightful, so deep.”
That which is for me through the medium of money - that for which I can pay (i.e., which money can buy) - that am I myself, the possessor of the money. The extent of the power of money is the extent of my power. Money's properties are my - the possessor's - properties and essential powers. Thus, what I am and am capable of is by no means determined by my individuality. I am ugly, but I can buy for myself the most beautiful of women. Therefore I am not ugly, for the effect of ugliness - its deterrent power - is nullified by money. I, according to my individual characteristics, am lame, but money furnishes me with twenty-four feet. Therefore I am not lame. I am bad, dishonest, unscrupulous, stupid; but money is honoured, and hence its possessor. Money is the supreme good, therefore its possessor is good. Money, besides, saves me the trouble of being dishonest: I am therefore presumed honest. I am brainless, but money is the real brain of all things and how then should its possessor be brainless? Besides, he can buy clever people for himself, and is he who has [In the manuscript: is. - Ed.] power over the clever not more clever than the clever? Do not I, who thanks to money am capable of all that the human heart longs for, possess all human capacities? Does not my money, therefore, transform all my incapacities into their contrary?

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images.

This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

Made the mistake of trying to find a chart about inflation by searching for inflation on here and got a reminder that while most people think Bluesky is a place for politics, it's actually a place for furries to jack off

The frightening realization that a lot of people believe that AI is intelligent because they don't really understand things either. They just sort of repeat what other people say, and the more often it is said, the more true it must be.

Hence, the computer is thinking just like humans do.

Drawing of a blue squid playing a yellow trumpet. Although cartoonishly stylized, both squid and trumpet are anatomically accurate. The squid is blowing into the mouthpiece with its siphon, and operating the valves with three arms wrapped around the trumpet. The other five arms are being used as legs for the squid to stand on.

It is badass when Bloch, adding to this, says that the hope he has in mind is not naive optimism but a desire for an improved future informed by detailed analysis of the balance of forces in the present and “warmed” by “love for the victims, and hatred of exploiters.”

Sorry to bury this one in the thread, but coming from one of the masters of anxious writing, this is one of the best anti-anxiety passages I know
One who rows a boat turns his back to the goal towards which he labors. So it is with the next day. When by the help of eternity one lives absorbed in today, he turns his back to the next day. The more he is absorbed in today, the more decisively he turns his back upon the next day, so that he does not see it at all. If he turns around, eternity is confused before his eyes, it becomes the next day. But if for the sake of laboring more effectually towards the goal (eternity) he turns his back, he does not see the next day at all. By the help of eternity he sees quite clearly today and its task. If you are to labor fruitfully today, you must be in this posi-tion. It always involves delay and distraction to want to look impatiently every instant towards the goal, to see if you are coming a little nearer, and now a little nearer. No, be eternally and seriously resolved, turn completely to the labor and turn the back to the goal. Such is one's position in rowing a boat, but such is also the position when you believe. You might think that the believer would be very far from the eternal when he turns his back to it and lives today, while the glimpser stands and looks towards it. And yet it is the believer who is nearest the eternal, while the apocalyptic visionary is farthest from the eternal. Faith turns its back to the eternal in order precisely to have this with him today.
