dork ass tech bros love to explain this supposed march towards “we all gonna go into the the ai cloud” as if it’s so cool it’s inevitable in every universe…..
but like why would anyone wanna be in the cloud. you can’t fuck or dance in there. what advantage does it give anyone.
The “Fermi Paradox” is a famous unsolved question: if the universe is so big, where are all the aliens? A famous answer is “The Great Filter” - advanced life forms wipe themselves out before they leave their solar systems. So we never find them.
In light of GPT Astra and the pace of AI progress more generally I’d like to propose a new explanation for the Fermi Paradox: all sufficiently advanced lifeforms eventually transfer their own consciousness into computation, and cease to exist in biological form. (Imagine an entire civilisation existing inside a tiny data center, in orbit around a star).
Given how rapidly AI progresses once it is ‘discovered’, there appears to be a small window of time in which a species has the technological wherewithal to search for extraterrestrial life, but has not yet transcended into digital consciousness themselves.
We (humans) are in that small window right now. But our days as carbon life forms are numbered. Soon we will exist only “in the cloud” - as is the case for all other advanced alien life forms.
Hence we won’t find them. And they won’t find us.

To all who have attacked Hasan Piker, I’m going to check to see if you said anything about Laura Loomer calling a Black woman running for Senate in Florida, Representative Angie Nixon, a ghetto b**** and said that she should tug on her leash.
I STAND WITH @AngieNixon

AI is everything that right wingers pretend immigrants are.
It’s taking your jobs.
It’s draining your resources.
It’s destroying your books, your history, your art and your culture.
Shut down the data centers. All of them.

The AI surveillance company Flock has installed nearly 100,000 cameras across America to track your every movement.
Going to the doctor? Flock knows.
Dropping your kid off at school? Flock is tracking you.
Flock is always watching.
STOP AI MASS SURVEILLANCE. STOP FLOCK.

the alienation I feel when I realise the text I'm reading is AI generated is instant, horrible. Why debase my mind's input and time reading output another human mind couldnt bother to take the time to compose? Intrinsically harmful to treat ones existence as a trash receptacle.

In my lifetime, China lifted 850 million people out of poverty, while the US created one trillionaire. It is clear as day that socialism is the key to our future.

This is objectively wrong - there is two sounds fighting for dominance in the 2020s, Amapiano & Baile Funk. Both are booming and have left the Global South to become the Global Sound.
How will we remember this decade?
Electronic music has never been more abundant. Yet, unusually, no new sound has fully broken through into a movement.
Across two essays, we examine the forces fragmenting the landscape and swaying taste: inflation, exhaustion, a broken internet and generational disconnect.
Where will the culture be by 2030?
