The Spirit in Your Ear: A Utopia of AI and Inner Growth
I recently came across a parable that has stayed with me.
Imagine you have an AI companion as a small earpiece, and imagine that you have given it a clear instruction rooted in your deepest intention: In every interaction, help me communicate in a way that cares for the well-being of the person I am engaging with.

Elon Musk: Vom Innovator zum Agitator
Was der Info3-Leitartikel über den Milliardär verschweigt – ein Leserbrief
Die Freude über das Erscheinen meines Essays zur inneren Entwicklung als Antwort auf die KI-Transformation in der Januarausgabe der Info3 wurde getrübt durch die Dezemberausgabe "Drei unheilige Könige?" – so befremdlich, dass ein Leserbrief nicht ausbleiben konnte.

„Mrs. K. emphasized further that one must acknowledge that the Führer – she really said ‘the Führer’ – was a brilliant personality, whose extraordinary effect one could not deny and from which one could not escape…”
The following days tour Jews expressed a similar sentiment.
November! 1933

“on Sunday he explained that he had decided ‘with a heavy heart,’ just like the Central Association of German Citizens of Jewish Faith, to vote yes in the plebiscite, and his wife added that the Weimar system had proven impossible after all, and one had to ‘accept the facts on the ground.’“

Reading Viktor Klemperer‘s diaries it blew my mind that many Jews he was acquainted with voted for Hitler in November 1933 out of conviction that he will make Germany strong again.

Yes, It’s Fascism
Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.
Fantastic read. And it ends very hopeful.
„Trump is a fascist president, that does not mean that America is a fascist country. The courts, the states, and the media remain independent of him, and his efforts to browbeat them will likely fail“

Decent people in the big AI companies must be asking themselves when the point comes that they either have to or feel compelled to emigrate from a fascist US
Are people at Anthropic making backup plans to migrate the entire company out of the US?

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now):
-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.
You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

Agree.
No one outside the US, who has a choice, should be enabling a lawless and lying regime. Which has become a threat to its own people and the entire world.
(Speaking as an American patriot.)

The Problem with IQ Tests
IQ tests promise to measure something seemingly objective: our mental capacity.
"Nobody who talks about IQ wants to gas people." - said my German friend, when he objected to what he perceived as left-wing rejection of objective facts in regards to IQ. But this claim ignores a brutal historical reality.

'IMPERIALISM WILL NOT STAND': Mark Carney BLASTS Trump over Greenland TAKEOVER | FULL SPEECH
YouTube video by Diario AS
Very powerful speech by the PM of Canada Mark Carney. The only Westen leader (so far) finding the right words for living in the times of the mad king.

It's not debatable that a mentally disturbed person has the nuclear codes. The Republicans know they're endangering us all by leaving him in office. This is a betrayal of every person on Earth. It is a crime against humanity.

Vor ein paar Jahren war der Rechtsextremist Martin Sellner auf X gesperrt. Jetzt retweetet ihn der Eigentümer Musk. Die Dinge können sich sehr schnell sehr radikal ändern. Was, wenn Apple von Musk gekauft würde?

Four GOP Senators.
At most four Repubs in the House.
Together they could stop nearly all the mad-king's rampages. They would be known to history as Profiles in Courage. They might/would lose the next election. But people have sacrificed a lot more, for a lot less.

The shooter calls her a "fucking bitch" right after shooting her three times. He shot because he was pissed off, not because he reasonably believed he was in danger. Also, he is filming while handling his weapon at the same time?!? Was he even looking at where he was shooting?

We are officially in 'Weekend at Bernie's" territory.
Look at the photo of Trump, while Rubio is talking, at yesterday's press conference.

Getting an Au Pair
Choosing Presence Over Exhaustion
Up until I started this process, I thought that having an au pair was an elitist arrangement, something reserved for wealthy families with large houses and disposable income. It is not.
It is about choosing a different way of organizing care.

This is the most extreme, irresponsible, and un-Constitutional sentence Trump has yet uttered in office.
"We're going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition."
WE'RE GOING TO RUN THE COUNTRY.

And the complicity of 53 GOP Senators, 200+ US Reps, 6 members of Roberts/Taney Court
Plus Musk/Bezos/Zuckerberg/Thiel/Ellison tech allies. The law firms, universities, corporations, etc that cowered. And ICE thugs.
There are more of us than of them. But for now they have the controls.

US President is an obviously disturbed person (beyond corrupt, uninformed, authoritarian, incompetent). Everyone around the world knows this, except many Americans, because Corporate Media *sanewashes* him.
