There isn't an UK alt media that is widely watched by 'wine moms' - PoliticsJOE and such are still niche and underground. Overall, BBC is still relatively trusted by the general public, even though they really shouldn't be.

Likely, it would take a Farage government for such a shift to occur...

South Korea amassed YouTube shows which are widely watched and was anti-Yoon, plus two major networks which made resistance much easier.

America only started to amass these shows (think MeidasTouch or Bulwark) after Trump2 hence the change/acceleration.

What usually happens is that after the mainstream media gets co-opted by the far-right regime, the liberal majority needs to leave the mainstream and start attuning to alternate liberal media.

My take - Farage will be closer to Trump than Hitler. Farage would be bad, but memories of austerity under Tories/Starmer won't be gone.

Polanski in good position - likely will moderate and will be right of Corbyn by '29 and will stay.

After Polanski, centrism will return. Only dead slightly.

Honestly, I don't think Trump would bomb you for a dollar, or he would already do so in LA, Chicago or whatever...

But I do think JD likely would force a bomb in those cities.

The fact that Democrats 'caved' after such an encouragement and threat signaled by the electorate not even a week suggest, electoral threats did not play here.

A primary electoral wipeout in '26 will not be enough, there are still too many Democratic Senators who are willing to waltz with Trump...

AI is High Experience, High Agency (AI is friend) - This is where the hype wants people to go. Hype maker wants people to trust AI - does the hype maker actually belongs in this category? 🤷‍♂️

I think most people here are deluded investors, who are desperately trying to rationalize irrational markets.

AI is High Experience, Low Agency (AI is puppy) - Studies are this category where people gain the most empathy.

I think most uneducated Pro-AI fall in this category. Their showing of affection varies, but ultimately they feel as though they have some personal connection to AI.

AI is Low Experience, High Agency (AI is demon) - There are two subcategories, I think. There are dismissive people who still get sway with the hype and therefore freak out about AI taking over or whatever.

Then there are science people who cautiously wants to warn people but doesn't know how to...

AI is Low Experience, Low Agency (AI is trash) - These are your typical dismissive people who believe when the bubble pops, the tech would go right along with them.

They emphasize on the 'difference' between humans and AI and boldly state current limitation as an ultimatum.

Is/Ought Gap is simply an instance of dynamical independence

The cinch is that these concept that define hierarchy can answers question stated in the finite space, which cannot be solved in that finite space - like the Hydra problem.

This result pushes us to believe that the idea of hierarchies is somewhat natural - and liberalism is best we can do.

And if you don't like the idea of hierarchy, you won't like the idea of infinity and the reverse as well.

This is why early mathematicians studying transfinite numbers related these concept with God, and why degrowth people rail against 'infinite growth' and so on...

It's as if you are not in the queue in the first place, because you will never accomplish the task you set when you entered the queue.

What infinity does here is to define the idea of hierarchy - there are haves and have nots.

The common objection is that you cannot reach the end of the queue that is infinitely long, but let's be mathematicians and assume that you can.

Now you are in a queue that has infinite number of people in front. How long does it take for you to reach the front of the queue?

You don't.

1 - Yes, many workers would be jobless. That's why a union is necessary, here union is a lifeboat to help smooth the transition rather than simply protection.

2 - Regulation should shift focus to markets, like Steam and Epic Store, instead of big publishers. Good that markets are easier to regulate

The only way Video Games can hold on is through FOMO / Network Effect / Brand Value (which are the foundation of games as service), at which point you are heading to a thermostatic reaction. The ship has sunk, the water just haven't entered the ship yet.

Obviously, I'm simplifying but look at gaming in 2025.

Two of the biggest games this year (Silksong and Clare Obscur) were made by 50 or so people, and therefore priced at a lower cost. The quality and fandom match those of big studios - the advantage of AAA is gone.
