Make no mistake, the attack on Venezuela by the Trump regime is not about removing a rogue leader; it is a deliberate attack on international law.

If your organisation still feels the need to start any questioning of AI with "We recognise that AI has huge potential to help with XYZ, but.." then they're still not free of the hype. It's past the time for fake even-handedness, and the AI emperor has no clothes.

I think one way to understand the present is that the ruling class discovered that rule by ideology was too difficult to maintain and switched to rule by agnotology, by the production of ignorance.

The outsized response to Kirkās death is a function of the outsized power of mediated attention. He didnāt ādebateā so much as deploy the hecklerās veto- yelling, demeaning, belittling his opponents. He was a professional bully and he made millions doing it. Thatās what passes as politics now.
