Author Ta-Nehisi Coates discusses AI and the future of America: "The fact that we have convinced ourselves that our future and our children's future isn't in our own hands is an abomination."

I haven’t said much about this World Cup, but I’m going to say this:
I never expected anything other than pettiness and bigotry from this administration.
And I definitely never expected anything less than corruption and incompetence from FIFA.
But I did expect basic decency and sportsmanship from the competition.
I have lost every ounce of respect I ever had for players and teams who remained silent in the face of blatant discrimination and unfairness against one participant.
At this point, not a single one of them is worth being called a sportsman, let alone holding the title of world champion.
FALSO este señor ha sido el primero entregar áreas verdes para el #CableBusEcocida#NoAlCableBus
Además también haautorizado talas para favorecer a empresas como en Consorcio Amalucan
Why did our ruling class not invest in decarbonising faster to avoid this acceleration in deadly heatwaves that scientists warned would come? Because of the capitalist law of value.
Capital invests in what is most profitable to capital, rather than what is most necessary for humanity, so our ruling class keeps ploughing investment into fossil fuels and SUVs, while we get far too little in renewables and public transit, even while the world burns around us.
We have more than enough capacity (labour, factories, technology) to address the climate crisis, but as long as capital controls investment and production we are prevented from doing it.
We are trapped by the capitalist law of value, living in a miserable shadow of the world we could have.
Empires in decline tend to drop the mask, not because they become more honest, but because maintaining the mask requires resources, coordination, and a functional ruling class capable of sustained strategic thought.
Late-stage empires get cruder.
Not more evil. Cruder.
Less able to sustain the complexity of the justificatory architecture.
Less able to recruit the talented people needed to build and maintain it.
Less able to coordinate the allies needed to give it international legitimacy.
Trump is not the cause of that crudeness.
He is its symptom and its accelerant.
The empire was already losing the capacity to sustain the mask when he arrived.
He simply has no interest in trying.
What you are watching is not a uniquely dangerous man seizing control of a healthy institution.
You are watching a hollowed institution find the leader it deserved.
The man and the moment are perfectly matched.
That is what makes it, in the most grim possible sense, historically coherent.
One reason AI is being pushed so hard is because it's the last "humanity can capitalism its way out of all its problems" narrative that has yet to be fully discredited. The idea is that if we can just create AI gods and let them come up with the effective-yet-profitable innovative technological solutions to our various existential crises that our own fleshy brains have so far failed to produce, then we don't need to dismantle the socioeconomic system we built that is destroying our biosphere and driving us to our doom.
Embedded in this logic is the same baseless assumption that has been plaguing us this entire time: that there are effective-yet-profitable solutions to be found. That we can simply let the free market deliver us desirable products that will both (A) cause us to stop cannibalizing our ecosystem and (B) create billionaires and trillionaires. Capitalism hasn't provided any innovations that have allowed us to consume our way out of our problems thus far, but because we've got these complex new AI technologies now, we can allow ourselves to move this entirely faith-based assumption into the purview of our new gods.
But that's just it: it's an assumption based on blind faith. There is no reason to believe we'll ever come up with technologies that are conducive to human and environmental thriving which also generate shareholder profits. Generally profits are generated by producing and consuming more products, which is exactly what has gotten us into this mess in the first place.
What this means is that capitalism has no ability to solve the problems we're coming up against as a species. There is no way to compete and consume our way out of the hole we dug through competition and consuming.
We need new systems. Human behavior cannot continue to be driven by competition and the pursuit of profit. We need to move into collaboration with each other and with our biosphere if we are to survive into the future as a species, and we will be unable to do this if we are excluding all possible solutions that don't generate revenue for the capitalist class.
AI is for many people just a psychological box that allows us to avoid facing this uncomfortable truth, because as Mark Fisher said, “It's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.” It's easier to imagine billionaire tech companies creating AI gods who will serve us up magical solutions to our urgent existential dilemmas which also facilitate continued economic growth than it is to imagine moving into collaboration-based systems where human behavior isn't driven by the pursuit of profit.
But that's just a sign of how insane our species has become. It's a symptom of our collective madness.
We need to wake up. We need to get real. It's adaptation or extinction time for us as a species, and that fork in the road is approaching very quickly.
This is genuinely incredible and says SO SO MUCH about the perception of China in the West.
This is the #1 news show in France, and the host - David Pujadas - asks the pundits around the table (a sample of the top media figures in France) if they can name 3 living Chinese people.
That's it: they just need to say the names of 3 living Chinese people, anyone. This should be extremely easy.
Yet not of a single one of them can name a single Chinese beyond Xi Jinping. They do not know a single living Chinese person beyond the president.
That's the level of ignorance of China we're dealing with in the West today, in 2026.

#reporteespecial | Señalan a Adidas de engaño a artesanas en jersey de @miseleccionmx. La edición especial de playeras de la selección mexicana que presume Adidas tiene otra forma de verla. A decir de Tatiana Bernaldez, especialista en la simbología textil de Naupan (Puebla), solo se usó a las artesanas, y afirma que recibieron un precario pago de 36 pesos la hora, más un seguro médico que no se ha concretado.

▶️ En un video difundido desde la comunidad de Alcozacán, en el municipio de Chilapa de Álvarez, pobladores emitieron un grito de auxilio ante lo que describen como una masacre en curso, al informar que el grupo delictivo conocido como #LosArdillos inició el asalto a la comunidad, utilizando armas de alto calibre y ataques con drones.
Los desplazados exigen la intervención inmediata de las autoridades en la zona.

Es insostenible el “acuerdo” anunciado ayer por @mario_delgado . Hay un notable y creciente rechazo a los casi tres meses de vacaciones escolares por el Mundial, contra movilizaciones de la #CNTE y “por la ola de calor”.
La presidenta @Claudiashein no se comprometió en la mañanera con el “acuerdo” de la SEP y se dejó la puerta abierta para corregir.
La repudiada protesta contra la arbitraria modificación del calendario escolar reitera que ha sido una aberración haber nombrado y sostener a MDelgado en tan importante secretaría.
¿Qué hay detrás del boom de cablebuses en México? Una misma empresa, Doppelmayr México, que ha acumulado más de 22 mil millones en contratos.
Cablebús, un jugoso negocio.
