Tech bros genuinely believe that their glorified automated text generators and such will solve something? Talk about magical thinking.
The times I’ve had to listen to people like this explain to others how great systemic thinkers they are and how much better they are at understanding basically everything then anyone else and these are the takes they have on “AI”… It’s both funny and pathetic.
It also looks like these supposedly smartest of the smart don’t actually get it at all.
NES, it was my greatest escape as a kid.
A friend who I have had regular struggle sessions with has evolved from China bad to China curious in about a year. These days we can actually discuss leftist history, even Soviet history and he listens and is open to what I say. This was a full non starter a year ago.
Went back to work after 8 months of studying at home avoiding the plagues and after the first week am yet to meet a person who doesn’t mention new interesting health issues “all of a sudden”. Like, what ever could be going on…

I have fallen prey to thinking it’s not safe anymore considering my job, the state my country is in and the level of surveillance in everything and stopped doing it years ago, after one of those letters they send. I just stopped watching things.
There was a great post here not that long ago that compared posters/ads about the role of women in USSR and AmeriKKKa and I can’t for the life of me find it. Would love to share some of those images with the libs of my life, so if anyone knows where to find it, much thanks.
