"A new report warns of 'profound risks' in American politics as cryptocurrency companies increase their political spending and Donald Trump oversees regulatory retreat while promising to create a 'crypto strategic reserve''."

First, I thought that I couldn't write fiction anymore because #reality gets crazy. Sometimes, I invent #SciFi plots just for fun, without writing. But now reality gets even weirder. I think that's the plan: We don't believe them. So, they install their #dystopic #apocalypse system while we still laugh about that insanity: wired.com/story/startup-nation (it's also archived).

Tech bros are living, breathing embodiments of the false authority fallacy; claiming that their professed understanding of basic logic qualifies them to reason expertly upon every conceivable topic while conveniently ignoring a fundamental maxim of their purported core area of expertise: garbage in, garbage out.

#Techbros break everything -never look back.

#Musk is pitchforking ppl & destroying the govt -wrecking the economy.

He's moving fast & breaking a lot of things. No evidence -he's thought about the consequences of all this destruction *happening too fast for anyone to have had the time to think about what the consequences of these actions might be -not on the lives of those ppl being fired nor on the rest of us & the way basic govt ops to function.

Had a very insightful conversation about the limitations on AI with a marketing copywriter.

Her comment was that actually writing marketing materials is a small part of her job.

If it was just about writing something that persuades a customer to buy a product, it would be a cakewalk.

What takes time is the stakeholder management.

It's navigating conflicting and contradictory demands of different departments.

Legal wants to say one thing. Sales something different. Legal something else entirely.

There's higher-up managers who need their egos soothed.

There's different managers with different views about what the customers want and what their needs are.

And there's a big difference in big bureaucratic organisations between writing marketing collateral, and writing something that gets signed off by everyone who needs to.

She's tried using AI for some tasks, and what that typically involves is getting multiple AI responses, and splicing them together into a cohesive whole.

Because it turns out there's a big difference in the real world between generating a statistically probable output, and having the emotional intelligence to navigate humans.

“Musk and his team of tech bros at the Department of Government Efficiency are not actually promoting efficiency… Rather than looking for efficiency, they are simply working to zero out the government that works for ordinary people, turning it instead to enabling them to consolidate wealth and power.”

"Just as he #Trump and JD Vance ambushed President Zelensky then demanded that he thank them for it, Trump is trying to dehumanize Democrats for failing to praise his heartlessness. It’s made-for-tv cruelty on a perpetual feed loop while the world is forced to watch." #USA #Musk #Vance #Thiel #Yarvin #TechBros #BatshitCrazy #TrumpCrimeFamily #autocracy #kleptocracy #Fascism msn.com/en-au/news/other/trump
