@tszzl i believe the core worldview at the heart of marxism is that capitaliusm is ultimately self-destructive and will bring about its own implosion ?

the ai labs, in competing with each other, are burning huge amounts of the commons on public trust in ai to win minor points against the others. their lobbyists, pr machines, lawsuits. it’s the very opposite of what marxist class struggle analysis would tell you

@JoyceCarolOates i could be misremembering but isn't the narrator in The Fever written to be cringey? I don't think it's supposed to be a flattering self-portrait

seeing/hearing/sitting through Wallace Shawn's punishing two-hour/no-intermission monologue-jeremiad castigating moderately "rich" folks for being ineffectual at dealing with "the poor" is a test of endurance like riding in a vehicle thumping along a rutted road. written decades ago, "Fever" has not aged well in an era of fantastically wealthy & politically influential oligarchs. the butts of his satirical polemic are as helpless as anyone in the face of T***pDarkAge.

Vertigo of Latent Space Montage marked the decisive invention of cinema: a mode of associating images capable of producing new relations. Yet this potential has remained largely unexplored, as cinema has most often reproduced narrative forms inherited from the novel. With artificial imagination, another regime of images emerges. Images are no longer simply arranged; they transform into one another within a continuous space. It then becomes possible to work not with sequences, but with transitions, passages, thresholds. Vertigo is approached here as a latent structure, a field of forms in circulation. The film becomes a set of persistent forms that reactivate, deform, and recombine in contact with other images. What is at stake here is less a reinterpretation of the film than an attempt to approach thought in action: its movement, its bifurcations, its reminiscences. In The Flow, this research unfolds on another scale. It seeks to follow the flow of consciousness, not as narrative, but as a continuous dynamic in which films, memories, and history intermingle and circulate. This work around Vertigo constitutes a variation: a way of exploring how a film can dissolve into this flow and become one of the sites from which thought begins to move.

Window-washing drones are scaling fast! 🧼 While most robotics companies are busy showcasing flashy demos, @Lucid_Bots is out cleaning buildings, and raising $20M to keep up with demand. Their drones are already deployed on real job sites, handling dangerous, repetitive work like exterior window cleaning. No hype. Just revenue. The company sells its Sherpa drones and Lavo robots directly to cleaning businesses, with a full-stack approach: hardware, software, and data feedback loops all built in-house. The robots continuously feed operational data back into the system, improving performance over time and unlocking new use cases like painting, waterproofing, and sealing. Same platform. More applications. The insight here is simple: Robotics doesn’t need to look impressive, it needs to work (and generate reve or save money). While the industry debates humanoids and autonomy breakthroughs, companies like Lucid are quietly scaling in niches where the ROI is immediate and the pain point is obvious. Dangerous jobs + labor shortages + aging infrastructure = real demand. The robotics winners won’t just be the ones with the best demos. They’ll be the ones already deployed, getting dirty, and generating revenue. 🔥 Btw. here's an example how they clean up a graffiti 60 feet in the air! 🤯 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news → ziegler.substack.com

What Could Exist, Must Exist: Building the Invisible We are not only living the fiction of our ancestors or what they once perceived as magic; we are also inhabiting realities that were entirely invisible to them; the concepts that could not be captured by the imagination of the time. Something as ordinary as tap water in our homes would have seemed like pure magic, yet still within the bounds of imagination. Same with airplanes, a radical concept of flying but something that they could still imagine. But the internet and AI belong to a different category altogether—phenomena so far beyond their imagination that they could not have conceived of them. Yet, we built the invisible. This brings me to an interesting thought: between what exists, what could exist, and what remains entirely invisible to us today, there are infinite concepts, realities, and even entire universes still waiting to be born. What we need is a new imagination, one that could capture and help build the invisible of our times and truly liberate us from the trappings of the present.

@formerlyed @davidgross_man @ZaidJilani more to the point, I don't think many perpetrators of "black crime" then hold a press conference where they say they are acting and speaking on behalf of all black people around the world.

@davidgross_man @ZaidJilani This applies to any stereotype? Black crime is not a proximate cause for racism, why are Jewish crimes a proximate cause for antisemitism? People who blame Africa's kleptocrats for anti-Black views are rightly ridiculed. Pointing to Iran or Saudi to justify Islamophobia is insane

A hypothetical: a 14 year old in the suburbs, doesn't know any Jews well, maybe 1 or 2 in his whole school. He hears "Jews kill babies" from a friend who got it from a streamer. That sounds fake, but what is he supposed to say when his friend shows him pictures from Gaza? 1/6

Contemporary antisemitism is mostly due to antisemites. Yes, the actions of Israel provide "cover" for their words and actions, but the blame here still lies with antisemites and, more importantly, a society that allows and even encourages their views.

@matthewstoller your line of argument is starting to feel like some kind of twisted psy-op to actually illustrate how antisemitic tropes CAN play a big role in anti-zionism (which is a connection many of us anti-zionist Jews have been fighting for the longest). This is a bad approach. Stop.

@matthewstoller Jesus man. You need to decouple greed & acquisitiveness- which represent a rot in American culture - from support for Israel, which represents a moral failure in American Jewish culture. Tying these two together is unsupported by evidence and completely undercuts your good points

I chose this point because it picks at a fight within the Jewish community, which is obviously in crisis. That crisis is not about anti-semitism. It's about the internal contradictions of trying to be both liberal humanists AND ethnonationalists. x.com/matthewstoller…

There's so much antisemitism in the U.S. that four of the top ten richest people in the world are American Jewish men. The pogroms must be starting any second now.

@ArmandDoma @ryangrim If fewer companies can build houses only to rent them out, will those developers a) largely vanish or b) largely pivot to building to own, driving down the cost of home ownership?

We spent the last few years being told by the Abundance types that the whole thing about PE buying up so many houses is a fake, made up panic. Now they’re saying the housing bill just passed is a big problem because it would crimp that build-to-rent market, which we were previously told is totally inconsequential.

@ArmandDoma i think it's cool that the people excited about the most utterly unpopular ideas and politicians circulating in society have found a nice little tautology to comfort themselves with ("our good ideas lose because too many plebes voted"). It's like a lil body pillow. It's cute!
