@motorhueso The war footing now being foist on us, is just the escalation of austerity that hyper-concentrated Capital demands once it has cut and slashed all the public infrastructure and funding it can under standard austerity.
“Be ready by having some everyday essentials… three litres of water per person per day, tinned goods... to last a few days”
Speaking to @vicderbyshire, Defence Secretary Wes Streeting details advice to households to be prepared for a “dangerous and turbulent world”.

Je crois que personne ne se rend très bien compte du monde qu’il y avait à Paris pour manifester aujourd’hui.
Je crois n’avoir jamais vu ça.

So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?
Very happy to have this come out w/@illwilleditions during the present explosion of revolts. It explores how the order of capital and of the police now only produces a dying world, and posits the need to bring death upon this order that refuses to die.

JUST IN: UK police arrest 15 y/o boy, seize his devices, & collect his DNA after he posted photo of a local politician edited to look like a rabbit.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman: "I don't even know a dramatic enough word to use… models can find bugs that are outside of the normal threat model of what we think a hacker can do… hardware-level, insane stuff… I no longer think we're gonna be able to just patch all the bugs."
To create writing worth reading, visual art or film worth watching, or music worth listening to, requires an inner life. Without attention to one's subjective experience during the process of doing, there is nothing created that conveys anything; it is all syntax and no semantics

AI generated music is 1000x better than real music.
Today I canceled Spotify and SiriusXM because I finally tested Suno.
What sold me was the first prompt I gave it:
“My favorite artists are A Day to Remember, Bring Me The Horizon, Spiritbox, Bad Omens, and Sleep Token.
Analyze all their hits and generate a song I’m likely to love based on those artists.”
It one shots an absolute banger in 10 seconds.
I'll link the song in the next tweet for anyone curious.
Why would I ever go back to Spotify/SiriusXM when I can generate music perfectly tailored to my taste on command, for free?
Not affiliated with Suno in any way btw, it was just one of those moments where I was so impressed with AI’s capability I had to say something about it.
No satisfied with the flow of wealth towards hyper-concentrated Capital throughout decades of austerity, the ruling class are now looking to move to a war footing, just to squeeze the last bit of wealth and life from the precariat before we can be automated away entirely.
I repeat: Pro-extinctionism is ubiquitous in Silicon Valley, embraced and promoted by some of the most powerful people in the world--individuals who are actively determining our collective future. For tons of examples, see my article below:
Neoliberalism has left the door open to fascism... it’s time we close it!
I spoke to Bartolomeo Sala about my new book and how we can defeat the far-right for @jacobin. Link below.
The report explicitly acknowledges that hatred toward Jews is NOT on the rise, and that only anti-Israel sentiments are increasing. And yet they STILL published a review claiming “antisemitism” is a major problem in British schools, because "antisemitism" means "opposing Israel".
