"War on Clean Energy" would seem like an impossible political platform to run on in 2024, but here we are. The U.S is exceptionally special, it seems. And I don't really mean that in a good way.
This is the moment in Scooby-Doo where the gang unmasks the person they've just caught and underneath is just the Microsoft Bing logo
The only AI function I could see myself using is one that would summarize 15 minute youtube videos into coherent readable text in blog format. That would be nice. Especially when they're posted like this, just links without much context.
Teaching kids good, healthy anticapitalist values is important. It's also good to teach them some basic computing and privacy skills, because they're not going to get that anywhere else.

The choice is not that hard. Yarr.
Of course this returns us to the state where the streaming companies who have literally "enshitted their own beds" now turn to legislators and policymakers (who they hated, just couple of weeks ago) to ask them to provide some "law and order" to this unruly mob and to defend the corporations right to put thumbscrews on the population for ever increasing profits.
And so it goes.
Wait, I thought there wasn't going to be a sequel? Did I miss something?
