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.

As the world finally punches back, was this the week Donald Trump went too far? | Jonathan Freedland
The US president took his bullying doctrine to Davos and hit a wall of opposition. If this creates a new western alliance against him, all to the good, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

Ed Zitron on big tech, backlash, boom and bust: āAI has taught us that people are excited to replace human beingsā

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:

The latest in a long line of terrible humans seeing if they can destroy people lives before asking if they should. If only sociopaths were seen as bad instead of rewarded.

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.

Send this to people who claim AI isn't taking artists' jobs. There is no amount of 'adapting' that will spontaneously generate more work if companies decide they don't want to pay you anymore.
