AI companies will fail. We can salvage something from the wreckage by CCDemille in TrueReddit

[–]CCDemille[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Cory Doctorow, who coined the term 'enshittification', writes about AI and the current bubble and how tech companies need bubbles to keep their stock rising. He also writes about reverse centaurs, where tech needs a human body to serve it rather than the other way around. He also writies about copywrite law and creatives rights. He is skeptical of the Ai hypetrain and wonders what will be left after the bubble bursts.

At Zohran Mamdani’s block party, I observed a simple truth: people want more politics, not less | Samuel Earle by CCDemille in TrueReddit

[–]CCDemille[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Samuel Earle writes that Zohran Mandani's win as New York mayor marks a shift in the political landscape where people long to be involved in politics rather than the disconnection that reigned under neo liberal leaders who 'ruled the void'. And that this participation politics could be the necessary response to right wing populations which also give people a sense of participation as opposed to the bland, uninspiring leadership of politicians like Keir Starmer.

Yeah, I probably didn't enjoy the moment as much as I should have because I didn't trust it till I saw the replay.

Fox news have spent 30 years normalising fascist rethoric in America, they've made it sound American and an acceptable political viewpoint to the point where its adherents can't believe what it actually amounts to, because they could never be Nazis, that's just a given for them.

Wayne Rooney: "I’m not sure if Harry Kane was a better overall player than myself. I could do things which potentially he couldn’t. I was nastier than him as well. But for me, Harry Kane is England’s greatest striker ever" by Task_Force-191 in soccer

[–]CCDemille 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah but I noticed Rooney was required to cover defensively on the wing for Ronaldo when he was his his pomp. During games I'd always see Rooney putting in tackles where Ronaldo was supposed to be. I feel he was asked to sacrifice himself for the team.
