People in power (including the people running these Ai companies) love bad journalism and bad science.


Not to mention when you start looking into domestic violence rates among lesbian couples


There's a Skyrim mod called Chim I've been playing with recently, it sends everything that happens in game to chatgpt then a narrator that you can talk to comments about quests, it also adds full Ai dialogue to every npc. It's very funny to ask it about how it thought you did on a quest.


China at least has the mythologized three kingdoms period and wuxia stuff, pretty relatable to arthurian style fables. Dynasty warriors is probably the biggest exposure the west has had to it off the top of my head


Does China have something equivalent to "renaissance fairs" ? = re-enactment of things that happened 5 or 6 centuries ago ?


I mean the reality is that going forward it simply won't be permissable to let foreign governments freely influence your youth with whatever content algorithm they please. It's even open knowledge that China itself doesn't allow TikTok to influence their own children like they allow it to influence American ones. As influencing physchology and personal Ai algorithms get more advanced you simply can't let it be controlled by foreign, hostile powers. This was inevitable, lobbying aside, as long as TikTok has suge huge market share especially with children.


Netanyahu is bragging about how they bought TikTok lol. This isn't about China, and it definitely isn't about keeping foreign governments from influencing our youth. Its the opposite! China was the pretext to get you to swallow another foreign government controlling TikTok.


It'll only be permissible for foreign governments to influence your media moguls to influence your youth on their behalf?


The right can also push religion as a cultural anchor, where the left really doesn't. Religion seems to be very culturally stabilizing if the right can get a Christian resurgence going in the us


The religion of course being Baptist Evangelical Dispensationalist Christianity


Beggers can't be choosers, he has to find one that is both Christian enough to appeal to red Blooded Americans yet will also ignore all the extremely unchristian things he himself does and says


Yeh, but don't mention Jesus. He was off message for current thinking.


Maybe? But Americans by and large don’t like being told what to do. I think part of the movement against like rural broadband and to control social media is to try and control the narrative for the people outside of citied that they think can, sort of exactly what you’re talking about.

But again, Americans are pretty rebellious by nature. Look at the increase in anti-vax sentiment, we like to disagree with institutions, I don’t know that controlling institutions, even religion makes them appealing to disillusioned young men, like arguably the biggest strategic misstep liberals made was thinking they could control the narrative.

The interesting (scary?) one is what Pete Hegseth is doing with the military. Giving people a shared enemy? That could work.


If I was leading another western nation I would be looking at the right wing takeover of the US government in terror.


For sure. Does anyone want Trump to know everything you write? Erdogan if Turkey ever does enter the EU?


Notably this comes during a US administration with open, unironic hatred of all forms of clean energy for ideological reasons


Great potential uses like the upheaval of the jobs market during a time of political crises lol. Great time to destroy the energy market for the common citizen as well


The bad news is that we're only one year into the 4 years of bad policy(if we're lucky) and the policy itself will probably continue to get worse


If democrats retake congress some things will change. Congress can stop the tariffs.

If democrats don't retake congress we are cooked. This means people are okay with whatever is happening.


> This means people are okay with whatever is happening

Or it means the game has been rigged which is exactly the point of all the gerrymandering going on right now. Tons of people are not okay with what is happening but their power to replace their government representative has been or is currently being effectively stolen from them.


Indeed. We’re not fixing it anytime soon.


We survived with 30% inflation ok key goods during the Biden years due to endless spending, we’ll survive this one too. You’re welcome to short the market though if you feel strongly otherwise


"key goods" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that statement.


"Biden years" is doing even more work. The suicide cultists generally ignore the trillions in helicopter money that was dumped into the economy under Trump's "watch", right when we were also dealing with supply shortages. It took a few years for the economy to start moving and that new money to go from asset prices into consumer prices, right in time for short memories to blame JOEBIDEN.


In most countries, every leader is both praised and blamed for the decisions of his or her predecessor.


Well obviously it was Bidens fault for not dealing with the initial Covid outbreak in 2019


Luckily, fiscally responsible Trump is coming in to stop all this deficit spending... oh wait.


I was going to make a glib comment that Trump is plugging the "deficit spending" of billionaire's having to pay taxes.

But given Trump policies in toto, I am having trouble coming up with what a winner looks like here.

Big oil I suppose. But that's a damn narrow demographic if everything else is hurting. And overall economic malaise won't juice oil demand.

If anyone can characterize the class of economic winners ... ?


The winners won't be a class but a certain privileged country
