I'd actually forgotten that song was Australian - in my head it was from the UK, but clearly not!

Which is why, @nytimes.com, learning that a piece of writing is AI changes how people feel about it, in the same way that most people are repulsed by learning a once-favoured artist is a rapist: because context is inherent to interpreting art, and the sole context of genAI is profound contempt.
We call AI output slop not because it's incapable of regurgitating something beautiful, but because vomiting up chunks of mixed restaurant meals is not the same as being a chef. That some of the upchuck can still be parsed as it was on the plate is not thanks to digestion or emesis, but to cooking.
What’s fucking enraging about this is that every lovely turn of phrase the AI churns out is human-authored. Google each fragment of the below - “forged in dying stars,” “created in stellar furnaces,” “the universe is not indifferent to us,” “implicated in something vast” - and you’ll find a source.
As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy
love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

The point being, anyone who's eagerly awaiting or theologically invested in the End Times shouldn't be in government or military command, because they don't give a shit about the actual, real future, let alone the consequences of their actions in the present; they just want the world to end.
Because under Christianity, when you look forward, you're meant to be looking at death, not the world. So these conservatives are just vibrating with this idea that We Must Make The World Godly in a way that's totally detached from facts, logic, the future - anything tangible - in favour of death.
- but cannot, in any way, shape or form, articulate what the end result of their policies would look like. And it's because conservatism is wholly, angrily reactive: it's either an impossible desire for nostalgic regression or a violent lashing-out at the present, but there's no sense of a future.
Right now on TIkTok, there's a girl asking conservatives to tell her what they imagine the US would look like in 15 years if they get everything they want in that time. And these people simply cannot answer her; they flail and stammer and rant about not wanting to pay money for illegal immigrants -
Which, among other things, is why you've got Hegseth's Evangelical military cohort telling the troops that they're part of a holy war. The end game with Iran for these sociopaths isn't a better, safer world or even a stronger country; it's ending it all to be triumphant in their imagined afterlife.
- because when you orient politics around Christian priorities, the moral imperative in the present becomes, not to build a better world for current or future generations, but to act in a way which a terrible few believes guarantees their spot in heaven, no matter how cruelly or miserably bought.
Like. There is a vast swathe of people globally, but especially in the US, for whom the End Times/heaven is the primary or only lens through which they ever look forwards, because theologically, Christianity doesn't care about the *living* future; only the afterlife. And that poisons politics -
