CHOTINER: They did close the strait and hold the global economy hostage, though, right? RIKLIN: Right, but, but, O.K. O.K. So, it’s your money or your life? Let’s make peace with Hitler, because the goal of the world is money? Even in Israel, we thought it would be a hundred and fifty dollars per barrel of gas. It isn’t. But it’s not good. But, listen, it’s not all about money. It’s not all about money in our life. Money is very important. It enables a good life. Wonderful.

USA furiously stabbing itself to death as Europe and China look on

Benjamin owns a farm. He employs 100 workers plowing his fields. His total payroll is $10 million/year. One day, he buys a mule, which provides the worker who uses it with a modest 10 percent productivity gain. Benjamin fires 99 of his workers and purchases 99 mules, expecting a 1,000 percent productivity gain. The driverless mules cause plow damage to his property in excess of $50 million. Benjamin loses another $5 million due to the loss of productivity from his one remaining employee, who no longer guides a plow but instead spends 100 percent of his time shoveling mule shit. Goldman Sachs builds an altar to Benjamin in their lobby and cuts out the heart of a junior analyst on it every Friday. They call it “Blood Sacrifice Friday.” The name isn’t catchy, but the event becomes a management favorite nonetheless.
But “AI”, even more so than any other tech, is contingent on political clout. It’s what forces through data centres, lets companies infringe on copyright and violate software licences, renders them at least temporarily immune to all kinds of consumer protections and wrongful death suits, and results in the political collaboration where “AI” systems provide authoritarian states with “accountability sinks” and algorithmic cover for institutional racism. It’s this political partnership more than anything inherent in the technology that has let the “AI” bubble get this far and change so much. It’s also what makes analysis so fraught because the US is over as a global power. Getting beat by a cash-starved, under-resourced, extremist state struggling to quell internal unrest is not something that happens to global superpowers. Remember, this isn’t an instance of asymmetric warfare like the Vietnam War where the very strengths of an empire are turned into weaknesses. Iran has big obvious military targets and an organised military that’s still functioning after an all-out attack by the US. It’s state versus state where even a draw means the big state lost. It’s what happens to shit-heel nations who don’t know their time has come, like when the United Kingdom and France rushed headlong into the Suez Crisis. But the Hormuz crisis also delivered a second mortal blow to the US-controlled globalised market. You can’t remove 20% of the world’s energy output, not to mention a number of other essential commodities, without disastrous consequences. Two weeks would have been bad enough. Two months are a catastrophe. A whole summer would be unimaginable.
With fears mounting that gains so far this year may be unsustainable, a surprisingly strong US jobs report for April sparked a selloff, with the major US markets ending the week in the red.
‪HELLGORITHM‬ ‪@hellgorithm.website‬ · 2h Our country is not actually a reactionary dead-end. Not only would Bernie have won, either time, but I'm willing to bet he'd have won by a double-digit spread. The reason we are presently run by a bunch of fascists is literally that the Democrats could absolutely not have that and made sure of it. s-toptheslop.bsky.social ‪@s-toptheslop.bsky.social‬ Follow There's no evidence to support the claim that Bernie Sanders would have won either election by a double-digit spread. per NPR (www.npr.org/2026/06/03/g...)

sciolisticism • 13h * Top 1% Commenter When all of this is over, there will be so many lasting effects. 1. The mountain of slop that nobody understands and is now a permanent testament to their hubris. 2. The mental rot of a huge chunk of our profession who engaged in years of cognitive offloading. 3. The respect I lost for people in my industry, especially the ones who were excited to see the joy taken out of my vocation. •.• Reply ↑ 26
I will be sure to tell this to everyone in my cubicles when I get back to work Tuesday. We all hate Ai. My boss hates it too and theorized that a lot of lazy men love it because it just encourages them in their mediocrity and never corrects them when they are wrong. Pretty sure this could extend to women too, but I get her point and agree. Ai will fast track us to Idiocracy. DuckDuckGo it is. Thanks for sharing.
Message from Mother: I’ve been using DuckDuckGo ever since I started leaning communi$t. Reply from myself: Great to hear and please let me in on your secret on how to make money by being communist.
Back in the day the potential of the internet was being smothered by the dominance of Microsoft's browser, Internet Explorer. So those of us of techie orientation would encourage friends and family to install Firefox or Chrome instead, or would even just do it for them surreptitiously because most people don't really care what their web browser is as long as it works. Nowadays you don't hear about Internet Explorer at all anymore, and we're all better off for it. It's time to do that again, but for Google. Google has announced that the search product they made their name on will no longer provide a list of links to other websites at all, but an "AI-driven experience" replacing references from across the web with a kind of digest of training data sprinkled with confident falsehoods and no way to tell where the information was sourced from. They've announced, essentially, that they are at war with the very web they built their success on and that they trained their "AI" models on. It is hard to overstate the damage this would do to the production and distribution of human knowledge. I think this is far more important than choice of browser ever was.
