- Comment on The warning signs the AI bubble is about to burst 1 day ago:
It’s more that the fall of the hopeful idealism and ambition, the earnest naive optimism for the future of tech that was originally driving Silicon Valley the late 70s / early 80s into the monstrous thing it’s become in the 21st century; parallels the same HST saw happening at the end of the San Francisco 60s’ acid wave when the hippies burnt out and the tweakers took over.
“We are all wired into a survival trip now. No more of the speed that fueled that 60’s. That was the fatal flaw in Tim Leary’s trip. He crashed around America selling “consciousness expansion” without ever giving a thought to the grim meat-hook realities that were lying in wait for all the people who took him seriously… All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy Peace and Understanding for three bucks a hit. But their loss and failure is ours too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole life-style that he helped create… a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old-mystic fallacy of the Acid Culture: the desperate assumption that somebody… or at least some force - is tending the light at the end of the tunnel.”

- Comment on Zuckerberg says people without AI glasses will be at a disadvantage in the future 3 weeks ago:
“Gargoyles represent the embarrassing side of the Central Intelligence Corporation. Instead of using laptops, they wear their computers on their bodies, broken up into separate modules that hang on the waist, on the back, on the headset. They serve as human surveillance devices, recording everything that happens around them. Nothing looks stupider; these getups are the modern-day equivalent of the slide-rule scabbard or the calculator pouch on the belt, marking the user as belonging to a class that is at once above and far below human society. They are a boon to Hiro because they embody the worst stereotype of the CIC stringer. They draw all of the attention. The payoff for this self-imposed ostracism is that you can be in the Metaverse all the time, and gather intelligence all the time.”

This is same boneheaded DOGE AI that will soon decide whether you should lose your voting rights, due process rights, or citizenship for belonging to the terrorist organization Antifa.
The actually smart AI is the one Palantir will be using to deanonymize all your posts on the internet and hand off the results to the first one.

It’s not censorship. It’s just what happens to any platform run by a publicly traded company whose customers are the advertisers and whose users are the product.

The dumb thing here is going to the trouble of drawing vanishing lines but not using a ruler to get them straight, so they may as well have just freehanded the cube in the first place.

Sonic 1 had just come out for the Genesis and was hugely popular while In Living Color was on TV- and that awful live action Mario Bros movie hadn’t come out yet, so he probably would have been all for the idea.
