  • The ultimate weapon of mass distraction

  • The ultimate weapon of mass distraction

    wasn’t born to obey.
    Not to swallow smiling lies, not to clap for tyrants in suits, not to say “thank you” for surveillance wrapped in convenience.

    I see it.
    The games.
    The false choice.
    The fear pumped through headlines and dopamine apps.
    I see how they trade truth for comfort, freedom for filters, soul for clickbait.

    They call it normal.
    But I call it a graveyard made of compliance.

    They want me silent.
    They want me tired.
    They want me posting selfies while the world burns behind the screen.

    But I wasn’t born for this.

    I was born to question, to remember, to remind the others who are still pretending they don’t notice.

    So here I am.
    A voice with no logo.
    A signal in the static.
    A crack in the mirror they polish every morning.

    You don’t have to agree.
    You don’t have to clap.
    But if this made your bones ache or your thoughts twitch—

    Then maybe you’re not asleep either.

    Good.

    Let’s stay awake.
    And let’s make noise that can’t be sold, silenced, or spun into safety.

    Not for them.

    For us.

    Well, they can say anything, for example, I am a flying wizard on a broomstick, I answer, I don’t lie.

    Yeah, I was going to say that TV wasn't much of a news source to begin with. The real issue is that social media for news is probably worse - now everyone can be spoonfed the news they want.

    Why mention it? Because the media has a DUTY to call out a corrupt government! Because they're not doing their job!

    NGL, it would be great if they could make it work and go fuck off into international waters. Unrelated, but did you know that if you put big enough holes in a ship it'll sink?

    TD Cowen (which is basically the US arm of one of the largest Canadian investment banks) did an extensive report on the state of AI investment. What they found was that despite all their big claims about the future of AI, Microsoft were quietly allowing letters of intent for billions of dollars worth of new compute capacity to expire. Basically, scrapping future plans for expansion, but in a way that's not showy and doesn't require any kind of big announcement. The equivalent of promising to be at the party and then just not showing up. Not long after this reporting came out, it got confirmed by Microsoft, and not long after it came out that Amazon was doing the same thing. Ed Zitron has a really good write up on it; https://www.wheresyoured.at/power-cut/ Amazon isn't the big surprise, they've always been the most cautious of the big players on the whole AI thing. Microsoft on the other hand are very much trying to play things both ways. They know AI is fucked, which is why they're scaling back, but they've also invested a lot of money into their OpenAI partnership so now they have to justify that expenditure which means convincing investors that consumers absolutely love their AI products and are desparate for more. As always, follow the money. Stuff like the three mile island thing is mostly just applying for permits and so on at this point. Relatively small investments. As soon as it comes to big money hitting the table, they're pulling back. That's how you know how they really feel.
