In "The Odyssey" (2026), Odysseus speaks with a Boston accent, despite being from Ithaca, which is in New York.

I’m trying to figure out how we went from “reduce your carbon footprint” to building AI pollution factories in every city.

@NewStatesman And you're very much part of the problem. The brass neck of NS is quite extraordinary. Whenever there have been progressive movements, you do you upmost to quash them.
I'm guessing your neoliberal centrist bs isn't cutting through anymore.

I know it’s very British, but we can’t keep having moral panics about computers every time we don’t want to admit we’ve torn the social contract to shreds

Why, we cry, are they at home! There are abundant Saturday jobs, graduate schemes, and home ownership is but a skip away!

@SkyNews “Lower value human capital”

What stage of capitalism is this?

[theselongwars @theselongwars_]

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

@LoveInner Great thread. Much to discover here.

[narancia gaming @naranciagaming]

ironically, Orson Welles gave one of the best criticisms against easy to generate ai slop

@SaulStaniforth They can talk confidently about ending factionalism now. As they have efficiency purged the left to a tiny minority in the PLP. And as for the membership, most of the left have already gone.

@ta_mills @flying_rodent On sky news, i heard them use the term progressive wing. Which speaks volumes.

This what we’re up against:

AI videos being made in Sri Lanka, shared here in Britain to stoke fear and division.

The next time someone tells you something MUST be true because they’ve seen it on Facebook…send them this video.

“If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer. This is because lies, by their very nature, have to be changed, and a lying government has constantly to rewrite its own history. On the receiving end you get not only one lie—a lie which you could go on for the rest of your days—but you get a great number of lies, depending on how the political wind blows. And a people that no longer can believe anything cannot make up its mind. It is deprived not only of its capacity to act but also of its capacity to think and to judge. And with such a people you can then do what you please.”

@gutsfan4 In a similar vein. Remember seeing Pixote. Quite disturbing, but an incredible film. It has stayed with all the years.
