It is April 20th, so on this 420 day, I am posting a colorful Civil War era bank note that includes this fascinating vignette of an African American man breaking hemp on a cutting machine. It also includes a portrait of Florence Nightingale. Union Bank of Missouri, St Louis, MO, $1, July 1, 1861. 🗄️

As a former StoryCorps facilitator, this is fucking disgusting. End the project already, Dave. You created a good model: you encouraged people to sit and do oral history for 20 yrs. Turning StoryCorps into a surveillance capitalism nightmare is not worth the money to keep the project going.

The desperate campaign to push AI down our throats is just what Nestlé did with baby formula, or Monsanto with patended seeds. Manufactured Intermediation—inserting a corporate tollbooth into a process that used to be self-sustaining, using a low initial barrier to entry to destroy the alternative.

Some people have misunderstood this. We literally saw how Claude itself, coded by Claude, turns one API call into a DOS of thousands upon thousands of API calls done in the sloppiest fucking way possible. This postmortem shows Bluesky vibecoded a function to DOS itself, in a similarly stupid way.

One side obsession from my research into the 1920s is the extensive network of ELECTRIC trains that used to connect cities and towns across the central Midwest called the Interurban. We had this more than a hundred years ago. The things we had and the things we lost.

Previous hard sells have all been "this is cool" and "look what you can do" focusing on making people want to use the tech. AI has been almost the exact opposite approach of emphasizing how uncool it is and what it will do to you.

Okay, this is AMAZING! I gotta ask: was there any colonial requisitioning for knitted socks? As I recall, making them was a big deal (possibly illegal?), since England regulated the industry (both wool and knitting).
