Never heard of the news source, but it seems like a decent one.

Never heard of it but it seems like a good semi-progressive news source.

My generation grew up in the US being condescendingly laughed at by older more cynical people saying over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again that Young People Never Vote So Stop Trying To Be Optimistic And Push For Better Things.

Now Cuomo is the voice of the conservative element of the boomer generation that is deluded into thinking they are progressive or give a shit about younger people in any way and probably don't even consider themselves Republicans (though everything that comes out of their mouth sounds Republican-lite if not downright brainwormed authoritarian apologist).

The most jewish city on earth besides Tel Aviv has RESOUNDINGLY spoken against the genocide of Palestinians. It is that simple.

Andrew Cuomo's words are anti-democratic, they are anti-jewish in the sense that they vividly misrepresent the majority will of jews living in New York City and the US in general, Andrew Cuomo's words speak to a cancerous rot that is now exploded into the open in the US Colonial Empire's necessary conflation of Israel with Judaism.

Silicon Valley, the Finance Industry of the US and big business in the US in general has utterly consolidated around profiting off of the Palestinian Genocide especially as a means of delaying the popping of the AI bubble by using it as a means to obscure complicity in actors conducting the Palestinian Genocide. Blood is on all of our hands and in order to escape that horrific realization centrists will dive into the simple, relieving comfort of anti-semitism, conservatives that are PRETENDING to be the friends of jews right now are counting on it.

This is necessary for the next step, which is escaping complicity with the now undeniable Palestinian Genocide by turning the rightwing violently anti-semitic en masse through introducing a time tested "the Jews betrayed us again by fooling us into committing genocide for them!!!!!!!".

Any Jews still on the side of Israel here are openly inviting an era of mass violence and subjugation of the jewish people, Netanyahu is COUNTING on that.

So we can loot and destroy our own UNESCO sites?

Here's the uncomfortable truth that every AI agent company is dancing around: error compounding makes autonomous multi-step workflows mathematically impossible at production scale.

Which is why capitalists always ultimately bend the knee and go along with fascists, because the smart ones understand that the fascist movement is utterly unsustainable and will collapse catastrophically, and it is exactly that species of crisis that allows rich ruthless capitalists to lock in their power for generations.

The dumb capitalists just go along with the fascism because they have lobotomized their empathy and like the pure expression of worship of power.

This is the heart of the love affair between fascism and capitalism. Most capitalists actually end up being horrifically shocked by the consequences of consumating that love with fascism but by then of course it is by design too late.

A fascist overthrow of a democratic society than by definition must be a process of keeping capitalists and the average "non-political" people in society from realizing at the same time that a fascist overthrow is actually happening and the consequences are immediately brutal. Fascists seek to slow down time in some places, speed it up in others, to desynchronize this realization so that it becomes a perfectly individualized one, a series of repeating last seconds of the authoritarian state crushing someone after they had been cornered and isolated.

This also explains why Fascism is inherently unstable, it is not actually a form of governance so much as a form of cancer that preys upon governments and organizations, it exists to grow and no other reason. There is no homeostasis with Fascism, only growth and terror. It is a wave of collapse that evil agents attempt to channel for individual gain by shaping the wave to crash in particular ways, spread out and too obscured behind a haze of propaganda to make out here while it happens there... but ultimately fascism can only ever be the breaking of a wave upon lifeless nothingness no matter what ideologues try to convince us.

Fascist rhetoric can be defined as a rhetorical regime that like a light switch is flipped between speaking from an authoritarian position of extreme power to call for violence in a system and speaking from a position of complete helplessness to stop evil being perpetrated by said system.

It is a specific flavor of self-delusion, one perfectly enabled by a technology like AI to grow out of control like a cancer in a billionaire/fascists mind.

I am ADHD af, I am not diagnosed autistic but I share a very similar info-dump tendency that a decent amount of autistic people seem to have and it feels really similar to me, not the same thing... but yes I do this constantly...

Info dumping in person is really NOT HELPFUL most of the time for people, but when you do it online in a well written comment than actually nobody has to read the whole thing right then and there right? Somebody can skim through and pick out the parts that are useful.

Unfortunately, I am driven to info dump constantly, I don't know if I would describe it as "filling up my imagination" though I can certainly get along with that framing of it. I don't pick what I do and where I go with my ADHD, so fediverse comments are actually in my estimation one of the more productive places for me to info-dump and be myself even if it weirds people out and people frequently think I am a bot because of my strange behavior.

I am an artist, when I see blank spaces I make a mess and see what happens, as all artists do. I don't have a strong internal ability to envision things before I try them though, so I tend to impulsively try things to bring the visions to life so I can see them for myself. Neurotypical types don't tend to understand this about my art, they will not listen to me when I say I don't have a kingdom inside my head already furnished and I am just transferring it to reality as I create art. It threatens the societally accepted idea of imagination and beauty as something finely planned and executed when the heart of every great work of art is really the opposite (creativity is a flame not a blueprint).

I create to see how my intentions lead me to somewhere I didn't expect, and that creates an emotional response in me. To try to put things in your words, I create art to fill up my artistic imagination because I don't just imagine art in my head in incredible fidelity like some private magic kingdom I can retreat to. No, I create beauty by putting a pen on paper, making a mark, noticing how it was different than I imagined it would be and then reacting to that. Iterated out, these small nearly aimless moements build into an entirely different universe and honestly I think that kind of scares neurotypical people shrugs. It is the same reason European Classical music purposefully forgot improvisation as a core skill.

I think for people who have unusual minds, places like here are gardens where ideas, feelings and movements can happen that would have been otherwise repeatedly strangled by the normative demands of societal interactions in alternative, already established mediums of communication and connection.

When you have to work to fit in, when you are acutely aware of how unsustainable and incongruent society is because of how you think differently and are constantly hurt for it, that gives you a capacity to imagine entire alternative universes out of thin air that are better. You don't need to necessarily to plan it out even, it just starts to come out in bursts of creative and imaginative energy that refuse to be denied any longer by the status quo...

Honestly, what concerns me more than people spiralling into their own AI psychosis nonsense are the ruling class of tech billionaires who have spiralled into fascism and are equally as compromised in their rationality.

Curl up in a ball

No Climate Change will

Why? So he can see historians celebrating more men in history who didn't deserve their power or fame?
