If you like someone complaining about the way the media builds narratives to impact our cultural conversations in the way they want and not in the interest of the public, then I am the follow for you!

Itās shocking how much dumber the average person is now versus 30 years ago. Chatbots are turning brains into puree, teens spend five to eight hours a day watching slop videos, elite colleges no longer expect students to be literate. We are rapidly rolling back the Enlightenment
kind of terrifying that I was probably among the last cohort to have a university education that involved reading whole books and synthesising information myself

What Iāve learned is that bedtime procrastination isnāt about not being tired. Itās about clinging to the only hours that still feel like they belong to you.

The implicit (and sometimes explicit) consensus is we can keep hyping up the industry and it can keep loaning itself money (and lobbying the govt for potential bailouts) while we await a vague paradigm-shifting or AGI-adjacent breakthrough and I am, to say the least, skeptical!

Pretty sure that a āreversalā would just be an acknowledgment that the underlying investments are not remotely reflected in real world market value. Is the idea that we can just cheer lead our way to greater and greater inflated stock values regardless of actual consumer value?
According to todayās WSJ, AI-related investment accounts for half of GDP growth. A reversal would risk recession. We canāt afford to go backwards.

Viewing children as "mini-mes" is why so many people turn out as shitty parents.
i genuinely do not understand how so many people are missing the inherent desire to find a spouse and have children. how is that not the most beautiful thing you could have? someone to love you forever and make mini-mes with? how have we strayed so far?

The quality of life of my children will depend on me and my partner. Whatever happens to them will be my responsibility. Until I have enough capital and stable mental capacity, I would not force my whim. To be married and have mini mes would never be an easy decision.

@AdamParkhomenko Just wow. I simply will never understand how a man with so much money continues to need more at the expense of children and teens. Truly disgusting.

Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was⦠absolutely nothing. Meta didnāt just āmissā anything. They saw it. They measured it. They reported it internally. And
According to the brief, Meta was aware that millions of adult strangers were contacting minors on its sites; that its products exacerbated mental health issues in teens; and that content related to eating disorders, suicide, and child sexual abuse was frequently detected, yet

When Republicans say āderegulationā they mean things like āadding poisons to your food because itās more profitable for the companies giving them campaign donations.ā
The EPA has approved two new pesticides with "forever chemicals" that will be used on food. The agency has also announced plans for four additional approvals. The approved pesticides will be used on vegetables such as romaine lettuce, broccoli and potatoes.

California is going further than just a warning. Effective January 1, it is a crime to post AI-altered real estate photos in listings without clearly disclosing that AI has been used and including a link to the unaltered image.

This is one of my favorite arguments from super rich people āQuit being such a fucking baby. Just uproot your entire life, sell your house (or cut your lease short), quit your job, find a new job, find an area with good schools & low crime & move away from your friends & familyā

Biden had nobody in the media or his party to amplify his message. Iām still pissed off.
Politically, yes, it hurt Biden when he claimed the economy was improving when voters disagreed. However, the difference is that Biden was right ā the economy was improving from where Trump had left it.
