It really feels insane the Super Bowl might be decided because a pass doinked off a helmet forward instead of any other direction. But sports is just symbolism, so all of this is second-order projection anyway.

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

I texted some pro-Geese friends that I tried but couldn't get into it because it felt like an Oberlin grad school thesis, or an AI trained only on LCD Soundsystem backing vocals, and I was told to prepare for mortal combat

It is 100% a culture war. There is no value in this dogshit. None. Look, the WORST people want you to use AI. Corporate America. CEOs. Management types. Republicans. Trump. No one you respect or admire is saying it's good.
The disconnect between management and employee on AI usage is big. At the same time, CEOs are reporting they aren't seeing any revenue growth from AI.

CEOs Say AI Is Making Work More Efficient. Employees Tell a Different Story.
How much time workers say the technology saves them on the job is vastly different from what executives report.
