Independent artist reporting for holiday duty, folks! Support your local artisans! 🫶

Turnage insisted on Monday that she wasn’t paid to share the emails with anyone, despite accusations that she was receiving financial compensation.

“I’m like, really? Then why am I still sitting here eating corn dogs? I guess the check got lost in the mail. I don’t know.”

Hahahahahah 😂😂😂

To justify Thiel-like wealth you need Thiel-like crazy: the protestant work ethic, rugged individualism, & invisible hand only get you so far. To believe that's it's Good that you have such extreme power over others, you need a whole batshit crazy belief system that makes it make sense.

Yes. Concentrating power in the hands of so very few is inherently not ok. I think part of why they've developed such bizarre beliefs (lookin at you, paypal mafia!) is bc we have such a deep need to be heroes of our own stories: And only a distorted ideology can support such a distorted reality

Interesting! Thanks 🙏

tbh Klein doesn't inhabit the same intellectual or moral universe as Coates. In fairness, few do

Klein is a conventional thinker -- smart, generally effective -- but he lacks Coates's depth and capacity to pierce the veil of seems-to -be to reveal what actually is -- and how the veil operates

ICYMI - a scathing takedown of Klein's pivot in the interview, where he responds to "love can get you shot" with "there’s a Buddhist meditation I like"

Disagree. They are very intentionally consolidating data and tech with narrative control

This is the bigger problem with LLMs — citizens as ciphers, pouring our souls into emptiness and seeing it reflected back at us
