I've seen him three times and all three were fantastic in completely distinct ways. One of the best living musicians in any genre!

This is true, but he's also 76 which could maybe possibly be kind of funny a little?
ok look, post-humanism has simply gone too far
no, but I did just see some desert birds reeling. the funny thing is they looked positively *indignant* lmao. probably nbd
Sure, I was just trying to pithily capture the intention behind marketing; if you don't like "demand" then how about "brand awareness"? At any rate, your beer example makes the Medicaid one make even less sense. No one is "in the mood" for Medicaid
Maybe I'm misunderstanding or there's a better example to offer, but marketing is the generation of demand for commodities or services. Informing people about Medicaid isn't that, even if Medicaid's communications staff use marketing techniques like paid ads
This vile bigot (Ben not Michael) puts scare quotes around the names of trans people he mentions on his substack, a recent issue of which features a fantasy about Olivia Colman being bullied by nonbinary people, and another includes the phrase "the Orwellian hellscape known as Canada" not as a joke.
yeah bro forget about nietzsche and go see a doctor, get that left arm looked at
Ha that same post prompted me to track this down (written by Sweezy): monthlyreview.org/articles/mon...
“Burger King is launching an AI chatbot that will live in the headsets used by employees.”
I'm sorry but it's actually hilarious to include Sarah Ferguson here, genuinely think this might be evidence of head trauma.
That the centrist position on MeToo is apparently that it was a "witch hunt" (woww) is much less amusing.
unfortunately no human beings appear to be involved in this, so legal recourse is gonna be tricky
This is actually pretty funny if you look this guy up and realize the "science" he's referring to is Political Science. Yep, no need to waste any writing on explaining your position in the field or what you think of anyone else's theories in poli sci lmao
Great, clear piece on how cyber-libertarianism is failing to meet the moment w/r/t GenAI.

depends on how dumb they are
You know you're desperate when you're arguing that identity formation during adolescence is immutable.
This is on point and level-headed as a solid base to build on
I fell off the soca train around 2021, but she was a personal fave in the years I was following Carnival seasons: off-the-charts charisma, musically adventurous, so joyous. This song is fabulous. "O'Lawd Oye" (maybe my #1), "Baila Mami," "Dame Lorraine," and "Sokah" are all still fantastic too.
Bratton is a bad writer, so maybe he thinks the use case is self-evident
To me the chatbots pose zero interesting questions about the ‘nature of selfhood’ but dozens about the nature of manipulation. Here the Claude team pretends they are programming the robot for ethical responses but they land on one that is false and disingenuous.
This cuts deep
in other words, the Nazis made a classification error: Jews should have been considered white
the implication is that if Jews hadn't been "productive" accomplishers, the Holocaust would have been justified
I was three minutes in thinking "I'm going to call this metal on the internet for laffs" and then
It's beautiful that the example he offers is marketing something to someone who was already a fan and didn't need to be advertised to at all
More than 100 Gazans have been accepted to Canadian universities.
Canada isn’t letting them in.

me, on the sidelines: you guys go ahead, I have to listen to this podcast
what's really nuts is that as far as I can tell from my timeline, this was prompted by...Kanye West?
