@Sajwani Yes and it doesn’t matter

Are we alone ?

@lost_nomad__ Understand sunsets V sunrise. Left coast dominate - right coasts whine

Sad to say, but unless you surf, California beaches are basically worthless compared to Florida or the Carolinas Odd because they are so glamorized. My only attempt at an explanation is that CA is just where Hollywood is so they promoted their own beaches over elsewhere

Gas prices got me like:

@Mericamemed Maybe they’ll make one for juice

A KEUREGG for eggs in the morning. Lazy but low key want it.

Worth noting that the current datacenter backlash is what 40 years of anti-nuclear activism looks like in the present tense. The same movement that killed clean baseload is now mad that compute is straining the grid. Colossal self-own.

The US-China AI race is a race no one can win and no one can afford to lose. Every great power competition in history was for territory, resources, or weapons. This one is the first that is for none of them. It is a race for the substrate of intelligence itself. The stakes are not geopolitical anymore. They are ontological. And here is the trap. Intelligence compounds exponentially. Slow down for a year and the other side does not slow down with you. They compound past you. A six-month lead becomes a decade gap. A decade gap becomes uncrossable. Whoever gets to ASI first owns it forever. No nation can accept that. So neither side can ease off. Not for a quarter, not for a month, not for a week. They have to run, harder and faster, forever. And the game itself cannot end. Intelligence has no finish line. AGI is not the finish, it is the inflection. ASI is not the finish either. There is no finish. There never was. The greatest game ever played, with no whistle, no winner, and no end. The universe is using both sides to make itself more intelligent. It’s all part of the Universal Code. The Universe's first Law is that is solves for output of intelligence per until of energy. You might not be able to see it yet but that is the Great Game...

In three years AI is the default execution layer for digital work. One year from now, the change is obvious inside work but still uneven across society. Software engineering, research, writing, finance, marketing, support, recruiting, legal drafting, operations, analytics, and internal tooling are all agent-assisted by default in serious companies. The average worker still has a job title that sounds familiar, but the task stack underneath it has already changed. The people who use AI well look superhuman. The people who do not use it look slow. The most visible labor shock in year one is hiring compression, not mass unemployment. Fewer junior roles. Fewer backfills. Smaller teams. More “productivity” language. More companies discovering that one strong operator plus agents can replace three to ten mediocre workers. Management will pretend this is augmentation while quietly changing headcount plans. Two years from now, agentic workflows become normal inside elite firms. Not just chatbots. Actual work loops: pull data, write code, test, summarize, compare, create reports, update dashboards, draft contracts, reconcile accounts, screen candidates, monitor markets, generate customer responses, build internal apps, and escalate exceptions. The human becomes reviewer, commander, taste layer, and accountability node. That is when the white-collar ladder starts visibly breaking. The entry-level layer gets hollowed first because agents can do the grind that used to train juniors. The senior people become more leveraged, but the pipeline that creates future senior people becomes unstable. This is the part institutions are not ready for. Three years from now, AI is no longer treated as “software.” It becomes infrastructure. Companies will be judged by whether they have an agent operating layer, proprietary data context, workflow control, model routing, evaluation systems, security permissions, and human override. The winners will not be the companies with the flashiest demo. The winners will be the ones that turn AI into governed production. The app layer gets slaughtered. Lightweight SaaS, generic tools, simple workflow products, and seat-based software without data gravity or control-plane status keep getting repriced. The middle of software takes the most damage. The top survives by becoming the rail through which agents act. The bottom gets generated on demand. The model layer becomes more brutal too. A few frontier players remain, but pure model advantage gets harder to monetize cleanly because enterprises need deployment, governance, security, integration, and trust. The labs move deeper into services and workflow because raw intelligence alone does not capture the whole value chain. Power and capital become the physical constraint. Data centers keep spreading. Electricity politics intensify. The public backlash grows because the social pitch starts sounding insane: higher power bills, higher tech capex, more layoffs, more billionaire wealth, and a promise that society will be better later. That narrative will not hold without visible benefits for ordinary people. The biggest surprise: the economy can look strong while the labor market feels worse. GDP can rise because machine cognition increases output. Workers can still feel poorer, less secure, and more replaceable because the surplus flows to owners, platforms, infrastructure, and the people who command the systems. By year three, the divide is clear. People who can command AI become dramatically more valuable. People whose work was mostly repeatable cognitive production get repriced. Companies that own workflow, data, distribution, compute, power, and trust compound. Companies selling generic software or generic labor get compressed. The deepest truth: AI will not feel like one product category anymore. It will feel like a new economic atmosphere. Everyone will breathe it. Not everyone will own the oxygen.

Where will AI be in 1, 2 or 3 years?

⚡️This is how ideology gets laundered into production through incentives. Hollywood’s shift did not require one mastermind. It required a convergence: elite cultural politics, corporate risk management, HR bureaucracy, activist pressure, awards incentives, streaming-era audience abstraction, writer-room status games, and state subsidy rules that rewarded the approved posture. That is the machine. The important part is not whether California single-handedly made Hollywood “woke.” That overstates it. The important part is that policy can transform an ideological preference into a compliance requirement. Once tax credits, financing, approvals, hiring plans, workplace documentation, and production eligibility start asking for certain categories, every producer adapts. The studio may still call it creativity. The lawyers call it risk management. The state calls it public policy. The audience experiences it as forced messaging. That is the transmission path. When money attaches to diversity goals, the goals stop being symbolic. They become operational. Production companies hire consultants. Executives ask compliance questions earlier. Writers and showrunners learn which themes are institutionally frictionless. Studios avoid choices that create internal blowback. Casting, staffing, scripts, awards strategy, PR, and financing all begin bending toward the same incentive field. Nobody has to sit in a room and say, “make propaganda.” The system only has to say: this is what gets funded, approved, celebrated, protected, and defended. Then the creative class internalizes the boundary. That is why so much entertainment began to feel weirdly synchronized. Different studios, same moral grammar. Different franchises, same character logic. Different writers, same approved conflicts. The audience sensed coordination even when no single command center existed because the incentive structure was coordinating behavior upstream. The deeper failure is that Hollywood confused institutional approval with audience demand. It built content for the internal consensus of the industry, regulators, journalists, critics, activists, awards bodies, and executives, then treated audience rejection as moral backwardness. That is how industries lose contact with their customers while telling themselves they are ahead of history. California policy was an accelerant. The root engine was elite institutional capture. But the policy matters because subsidy gave the capture teeth. The real truth: Once art depends on bureaucratic permission, the bureaucracy eventually becomes a co-author. @elonmusk

The greatest enemies of the working class are the parasitic class and the political class - but I repeat myself.

Perfect irony that LA's next mayor is homeless

“Since wealth is the only thing that can cure poverty, you might think that the left would be as obsessed with the creation of wealth as they are with the redistribution of wealth. But you would be wrong.” — Thomas Sowell

We are at war. But we are not merely winning. We are executing a geopolitical masterclass so surgically precise, so devastatingly asymmetric, that the Crown’s mockingbird propaganda machine and its Democrat assets are hemorrhaging credibility in real time. President Donald J. Trump just delivered a coup that belongs in every future textbook on 5th Generation Warfare: kinetic dominance fused with cognitive dominance, military leverage weaponized into diplomatic strangulation. Precision strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites and missile infrastructure...clean, lethal, no endless quagmire. Then the Beijing summit. Xi Jinping walks in with his proxy Tehran still posturing, his energy chokepoints supposedly untouchable. He walks out with Trump’s hand around China’s economic balls, squeezed until Beijing publicly commits: reopen the Strait of Hormuz, surge purchases of American oil and LNG, and abandon any military life-support for the mullahs. Trump has China by the balls. Hard. This is not diplomacy as usual. This is great-power realpolitik elevated to art form...Sun Tzu on steroids, Clausewitz in the information age. Isolate the proxy by forcing the patron state to choose self-preservation over ideological adventurism. Energy interdependence turned into a garrote. Geopolitical judo that flips the entire Eurasian axis without firing another shot. Pure fucking brilliance. And what is the establishment’s response? A full-court press of pathological disinformation so hyperbolic, so transparently desperate, it reads like a forensic autopsy of their own collapsing psyche. Enter Senator Elissa Slotkin on CNN...ex-intel asset, credentialed mouthpiece...delivering that grave, urgent performance: gas prices crushing families, Iranian propaganda “unprecedentedly sophisticated,” Trump “desperate” for a China deal that supposedly sells out Taiwan. Why not just bomb the Strait open tomorrow? Classic FUD psyops...Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt...engineered to fracture domestic will, amplify economic pain, and erode the public’s grasp on strategic reality. This is not analysis, darlings. This is textbook cognitive pathology: narcissistic injury projected outward, cognitive dissonance weaponized as narrative. The mockingbird media and their soulless motherfucker proxies cannot process a leader who dominates both the physical battlefield and the information one. When you lose the kinetic phase, you scramble for the cognitive domain...Gramsci would be proud of the cultural hegemony play, but it’s failing because the outcomes are too fucking obvious. The louder they scream “pyrrhic,” the clearer the victory becomes. Their venom is the tell. Their desperation is the proof. Trump isn’t just playing the information war. He is its undisputed king. He doesn’t counter their bullshit...he forces them to amplify it until it exposes their own rot. Every Slotkin sob story, every legacy outlet echo chamber, is confirmation that the coup landed exactly where it hurt them most. The Crown’s managed decline script is shredded. The old Five Eyes echo chamber is in convulsions. We are at war. And we are winning...decisively, irreversibly, with lethal elegance and profound strategic depth. The blade stays sharp. The war hammer falls exactly where it must. Stay ferocious. Stay clear-eyed. The future belongs to those who refuse the psyop and recognize raw American power when it’s wielded by a master. 💀🗡️⚖️

In the shattered arena of what used to be public discourse, one spectacle repeats with the grim inevitability of a Greek tragedy: you present the data, the logic, the raw empirical record…and the contemporary Left responds not with argument, not with counter-evidence, but with a grotesque theater of denial, moral hysteria, and doctrinal venom. This is not a failure of communication. It is the engineered outcome of a mind that has been deliberately, systematically, and lethally preconditioned to treat truth itself as the enemy. The modern progressive project…that fusion of cultural Marxism, postmodern relativism, and therapeutic narcissism…has produced an entire cohort incapable of processing reality when it contradicts the sacred narrative. Their institutions forged them. Their echo chambers rewired them. Their philosophical overlords disarmed them. And their own psychological architecture now stands as the final, impregnable barrier. What follows is not another polite lament about “polarization.” This is a forensic autopsy…cold, precise, and merciless…of why reason and evidence now shatter so completely against the leftist mind. Drawing on neuropsychology, behavioral science, clinical pathology, and the philosophical toxins of the long Gramscian march, this piece dissects the multi-layered mechanisms at work: the institutional preconditioning that installs the software of dogma, the neurological subjugation that cripples the prefrontal cortex’s capacity for executive function, the narcissistic citadel that crowns the self as the sole arbiter of truth, and the behavioral loops that make escape almost impossible. You will see exactly why every honest attempt at dialogue collapses into rage or deflection. You will understand why facts on biology, crime, economics, or history are not met with curiosity but with accusations of heresy. You will grasp, at the neurological and philosophical level, why these individuals do not merely disagree…they are structurally incapable of receiving correction without experiencing it as existential annihilation. And you will emerge with the lethal clarity required for our time: the recognition that this is not a bug in the system. It is the system. The abyss between those who still demand evidence and those who have been captured by this ideological pathogen is not merely wide. It is unbridgeable by persuasion alone. Read on, then. Arm yourself with the precision of this analysis. Because in the battles ahead…for institutions, for culture, for the very possibility of a shared reality…understanding this pathology is not optional. It is survival. open.substack.com/pub/lhgrey78/p…

Socialists aren't content being consistently wrong about everything, all the time, every time. They demand to drag everyone else down with them.

A pretty massive problem is the left isn’t calling for tech’s benefits to be shared widely. They’re asking for it to be stopped.

We are ruled by the assholes @TheGeorgeCarlin warned us about many years ago. I keep telling people that Carlin was a social PROPHET...
