I love McBling, scene, Y2K aesthetics, and indie sleaze. Also consciousness, complexity theory, cybernetics, and evolutionary biology.

@toutovlepo My general goal w it is to read Virgil, Ovid, etc at some point in their original forms.

@toutovlepo This is inspiring me to get serious about brushing up my Latin!

I like to believe that these hungry fish are experiencing the utmost ecstasy

Something horrifying about this. Reminds me of Werner Herzog talking about the obscenity of the jungle.

@HDFeature_ @entylawyer Jensen Huang, presumably. (Probably bullshit tho)

And why do you think all these stories about anti-data center activism being a "distraction" from the oh so scary machine gods they're building, are popping up?

Why do you think all these randos are getting amplified saying the climate impacts of data centers are fake but machine gods are real?

[Matthew Pirkowski @MattPirkowski]

Absent strong constraints that enforce shared low time preference virtues, technology—and especially communications technology—invariably selects for the parasitization of our evolved supernormal vulnerabilities by higher-order corporate organisms.

All who blindly cheer on “acceleration”, absent wise stewardship and virtuous restraint, are on the side of parasitizing the human lineage until it’s no more than a walking husk.

The naive pursuit of mechanical transcendence will ultimately leave us with no more than a shallow copy of our biocultural inheritance, whose only telos is to keep us shuffling around as so many sources of raw data.

NeuroTech is way too important to let "move fast, break things" folk lead.

[Maitreya Bhakal @MaitreyaBhakal]

The Jensen Huang scandal is basically a case of infighting amongst the US bourgeoisie - an intra-bourgeois fractional conflict.

Huang of course is a junior member of this class, occupying one of its lower rungs. So naturally, those at the top assumed that he would obey orders without question, just like the other public "billionaires".

So when he began to openly challenge them, that was too much. He carried a lot of influence, and he was deploying it. He just wanted too much independence for himself and his company. And that cannot be allowed. The man had to go. Nvidia had to be shown its place. It's imperialism-capitalism 101: No "private" company can be allowed to defy the empire's diktats.

@phillyharper They are, which is part of the defusing process. But that polarity is reproduced to a large extent in popular culture, which is, after a century of electronic mass communication, media trained. Unfortunately it looks like Baudrillard might have been right.

[leftpain @left_plain]

can't believe Gramsci wrote basically one of the best critiques of positivist pseudo-Marxist histories of science ever but nobody reads it bc the whole thing is presented as a polemic against a popular readership textbook Bukharin wrote

[🥀Emilie🥀 @SceneQueenSleaz]

@GaryMarcus It's so insanely over the top. Surely, if/when their predictions of ASI in 2027 don't pan out, people might start questioning what the emperor is wearing?

[Hensen Juang @basedjensen]

It's looking more and more like anthropic policy bros are orchestrating coup against Jensen ahead of ipo. They get to kill oss model champion and liquidity

[uke creature🇵🇸🚩 @UkeCreature]

not a woke opinion sorry, misanthropy is trite and heavily right-coded. it's anti-human fascist shit, same ideology as thiel and the rest of the right-wing tech bros

@lumpenspace Notice how she says "the unethical kind of racist."

Love that we qet this constant voice of God in the business press commanding us, and always through a lesser messenger that claims to simply be speaking to "reality". Never actually a God, but always in some way God-like commands.

Of all of Francis Bacon's gorgeously grotesque works, his Black Triptychs is some of his darkest. Depicting the visceral memory of discovering his lover's body in a bathroom after his suicide.
