You fear #AI? Then chances are you confuse the impact of AI and the underlying principles of capitalism. In conversation from web permalink -

There is not much time to set the general direction of the use of AI in society. Either Social Democrats, Liberals, Progressives embrace #AI for the sake of the stability of the welfare state, or the xenophobic Right embraces AI to push for anti-immigration policies. Hurry!

It is exactly because of the productivity gains resulting from #AI and automation that Social Democrats, Progressives, Liberals should embrace AI. AI and automation will change the job landscape, for sure, but they will prove vital in keeping the social welfare systems robust. In conversation from web permalink -

Right now I feel a bit reassured about the future stability of the social welfare-, health insurance-, and pension systems. At least in my country there is an endless debate on how a declining population will effect negatively the solvency of these systems.
But with #AI and automation around the corner, I guess the productivity increase will more than offset the decline in human workforce. And that should mean that the various support systems stay solvent.In conversation from web permalink -

Why is it that rightwing parties not run to embrace #AI?
(To keep an economy's prosperity, not an increase in the number of employees is essential but a rise in productivity. And when productivity can rise via AI, then even under demographic decline there is no need for labour immigration.)

Nice monologue by RM.
It's pretty much for such reasons as stated by RM that Hungary voted out Orbán and his kleptocratic clan in the elections, even so much that Péter Magyar's Tisza party got a super majority of two third of all seats in parliament.In conversation from web permalink Attachments

Alexa MacKie, "Nearly 60% of Canadians support becoming a full member of the European Union, poll says" https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-canadians-support-becoming-member-european-union-nanos-poll/
Economic integration and common values are good reasons for Canada to join the EU. But what is strangely missing in these discussions is the benefit of the mutual defense obligation of the Treaty on EU (1992), Art. 42.7., which is important for Canada and the EU should NATO break apart.
(The mutual defense obligation as stated in the Treaty on EU, Art. 42.7, is stronger than Art. 5 of the NATO treaty. The first obligates every EU member state to assist with military mean wheras the second allows NATO member states to decide individually what to contribute.)In conversation from web permalink Attachments

Sally Jenkins, "The Man Who Broke Physics" https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/03/ilia-malinin-olympic-figure-skating/685766/
I'm really not into sports journalism or figure skating. But Sally Jenkins writes with such grace that I couldn't stop reading. Take the opening paragraph—or perhaps only the first sentence.In conversation from web permalink Attachments

♪ Frédéric Chopin, "Fantaisie-Impromptu in C-Sharp Minor, Op. 66" (Daniil Trifonow) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OkgZT1UxJ0
I'm glad that despite the cultural boycott of Russian musicians in Germany due to the war this concert took place. Daniil Trifonow is incredible. His play so gentle, dynamic, precise.

I really don't want to know to what dangerous levels the U.S. hubris will increase should this insane operation succeed. And on the other hand: What is the alternative?In conversation from web permalink Attachments
