those that believe in the imminent birth of a non-human intelligence capable of radical & incontestable reorganization of society leading to the establishment of a permanent upper (priestly) and lower (damned) class bear at least surface similarity to chiliastic mass movements

we switched over to apple music both because of this reliability problem and also because spotify was becoming very bloated and user unfriendly with all the video integration stuff.

we are not even that opposed to devs using ai assistants to assist in or even principally do their jobs for them, but it is very funny for them to point this out as a win when they surely have metrics showing that it is failing constantly in new and novel ways.

it is very funny that spotify has hyped how much AI vibe coding their devs are doing now, when the app has +literally+ never sucked as hard as it currently does

last night on the train we saw an elderly woman watching a looping, obviously AI, video of a guy in a destroyed city pleading for an end to the war that was supposed to be from like, an american city it sounded like? and she was just sobbing and letting it loop and over and over.

Five years before the war over Kosovo, Eliot Cohen published a widely
cited article in Foreign Affairs, “The Mystique of US Air Power.” He
argued, “Air power is an unusually seductive form of military strength,
in part because, like modern courtship, it appears to offer gratification
without commitment."

people also initially took them entirely at face value, believed that a photograph was as near to a perfect scientific reflection of reality and truth as it was possible to achieve, and this photo staging & manipulation was particularly effected in the early window

like photography, a thing that was so difficult for people to conceive of that nobody even published a credible hypothetical imagining of it in speculative fiction until after it was discovered, required the same kind of cultural inoculation in the 1800s
