Billionaires love AI because it promises to solve the problem of needing a smart workforce but a dumb electorate.

@jon It's more feasible than he suggests: https://alice.bsky.sh/post/3laega7icmi2q

Reminder that Trump's Project 2024 plan to abolish NOAA and the National Weather Service. Fascists don't like those who warn of disasters. Or those, like FEMA (who they also intend to cut), who clean up afterwards. Or even those who notice that disasters have occurred on their watch, such as journalists. #uspol

A billionaire is someone who could lift thousands of families out of poverty without any noticeable impact on themselves, and has chosen not to.

So… I'm not in the Sharpie's good books today. I went out to check the feeders, causing the birds on the ground to startle as usual.

As I do so this ball of feathery death swoops down over my head from the roof, missing the birds I've just scattered. I've just spoiled dinner and e is Not Happy.

Mind you, given the new heap of feathers on the lawn this morning, e didn't do too badly for breakfast.

@siina @randomgeek I’m guessing that’ll be lazy “AI”s getting humans to do the homework some other human thought it was dumping on a “AI”. https://xkcd.com/1897/
