The way AI is going to “kill everyone” is just by manufacturing consent for ever worse outcomes & conditions, like many governments do.
It is a governing technology after all. And like bureaucracy it launders responsibility so the people & institutions who deploy it aren’t accountable for the harms

What's even more remarkable is that I don't remember ANYONE remarking on this in the 90s. It was considered completely normal for a mainstream TV show to be actively anti-fascist and anti-racist. Today, it'd be the only thing people know about the show bc of how right-wingers would whine about it

I've been watching Babylon 5 (along with @merrittk.com) and it's striking how almost every episode is criticizing a) fascism, b) xenophobia/racism, c) homophobia, d) theocratic conservatism. @straczynski.bsky.social wrote that shit woker than The Pitt S2. No way an exec would greenlight it today.
Know what TV show actually wouldn’t get made today? The Twilight Zone. Half of these fuckin’ episodes are about fascism.

I've been writing mathematical documents in LaTeX for almost 40 years, and someone pointed me to ISO 31 just last week. I am having a bit of an existential crisis.
I feel that Knuth and Lamport have led me astray.
