So, incredibly happy for, and proud of, Hungary. And looks like PM might even manage 2/3rds needed for a deep constitutional undoing of Orban's feckery. If EU has *any* sense whatsoever, it will THROW MONEY at Magyar, like a drunk yuppie at a stripper.

Orban was the first in the modern populist wave, the prototype, and he operates now as a crucial international lynchpin. There's a reason the White House and the Kremlin are so desperate for him to win.

It really gets my goat when people tell me I may not like AI but itās here to stay & thereās nothing we can do about it. Yes there is! We donāt have to bow down to every corporate demand! We can fight, regulate, use the law. We can & must ensure this tech benefits humanity & doesnāt dismantle it.

This duet cover of Radiohead's "Creep", between a son and his Shastriya Sangeet classically trained mother, is the mash-up I didn't know how much I needed in my life. Totally spontaneous sobbing may have taken place.

Last week, hundreds of creative workers amassed at a public hearing for an AI transparency bill to testify how AI was corroding their lives. Days later, Disney cut a deal with OpenAI, and Trump moved to stamp out state AI laws. On art and labor in the age of AI and American authoritarianism:

Hot dang this video essay hits hard, is well researched, and aligns so well with what I think ails this world. I feel that now, more than ever, solidarity of the 99% will truly be one of the few things that can fix this absolute mess of a techno feudal-ish world. Mega worth the watch:

On the day Joe Biden accuses Trump of appeasing Putin, we just happen to have a new two parter on the story of appeasement and how the pursuit of peace and justice mutated into a moral and strategic catastrophe. Part one takes us from the aftermath of the First World War to the Anschluss

This post very much blew up. It's on track to be one of, if not *the* most-read on the newsletter. There are a few points I think I could have underlined betterāthat I think the thesis is true whether the jobs data in the pictured graph reflects AI impacts or notābut it clearly struck a nerve.

"What once was Midasās central flaw - a lack of wisdom, decency, taste, introspection - has become Modern Midasesā superpower. Trump's performative ridiculousness is his golden shield. We see him as dangerously ludicrous and miss that he's also ludicrously dangerous. We confuse asinine for anodyne."

OpenAI is using Studio Ghibli-style memes as an ad hoc promotional campaign for its new image generatorādespite Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki's famous hatred of AI. Sam Altman made his X avatar a 'Ghiblified' portrait. Disgracing Miyazaki is part of the point: It's more proof to them tech has won.
