a thread/thesis on the trajectory of techne v. technology
unsurprisingly similar to the story of recent riots in the UK that began with social media posts about immigrant murderers, later proven false. it would follow that the tension and bigotry wont end here either.
racist scapegoating and hatebait is obv not new, but its def spreading faster than it did before. feels like the mix of brandolini's law x social media + antiwoke/ fakenews + vocal ideological founders like elon is setting up a perfect storm for an age of disinformation and manipulation of the discourse. add in more ai and more 'personalization' (read bubble) and hswaf as a species fr

who deserves to vote?
recently rewatched the newest bond movies and it struck me that the horizon of the world has closed in on us in the modern age. theres very little exotic left. most of it was filmed in italy, with jamaica and cuba being the only other locales (besides the evil island lair). the only frontier left is digital. izo this is having profound effects on the world psyche that are palpable but hard to pin down
good read. ngl i clicked on it bc i saw orgy, but its a meaty treatise on the gulf bt partisan belief and social reality

such a good read...
i was honestly surprised that it took so long for people to notice Biden's mental decline. i for one thought he was too old to run the first time. but this article clarified it for me.

substructure matters so much. urban planning designed around cars leaves more space in the social fabric of a place. this trickles down into interpersonal behavior. "sidewalk conversations" are a prerequisite for a good city culture izo

your digital footprint should be of grave concern izo. the initial motive behind social networks was to model you, and weve already seen ways in which those models are reshaping behavior from shopping to voting to dating. think what @datalatte is building could have massive impact 👀
tfw you agree with nic carter /ai

aella is imo one of the premier sociologists of our time. dunno why but i read this whole thing thru. i imagine much of peoples lives in the future will be (probably unfortunately) logged and pored over by llms

thesis:
llms and data sovereignty will lead to a revolution in open source sociology that will have drastic effects on how we see ourselves and relate to each other
