This level of addled reasoning is rampant among the ostensibly-educated, and it's a big problem.
How does he not see it? The "bubble" is keeping out Nazis. That's the point.
Frankly, I'm increasingly convinced that the anti-"bubble" people actually DO want to be around Nazis.

i think, end of the day, the real problem with Bluesky is that most of its users are here *because* they want to be in a bubble. and they can tell themselves that it’s just about not being around Nazis it supporting Musk, and that’s part of it, but also there’s a palpable desire to be ensconced.

Those AI evangelicals really do seem to take the whole thing on faith. I feel like the "societies that worship a computer" episodes of Star Trek are now the most believable ones.
When Musk finally passes I have no doubt there will be an AI simulation of him, and people will worship it.

Trans Rights Wins Elections
NOT JUST THIS:
Two other Democratic lawmakers in North Carolina who sided with the GOP to overturn vetoes of major bills (e.g. anti-trans legislation) are also losing in their primaries so far to progressive challengers.
This could be a major night in NC.

It's fascinating how much the right has monopolized the narrative of people getting "canceled." There are actually plenty of high-profile creatives that the alt-right has driven off of projects and IPs.
The thing is, they don't disappear bc they have actual talent.
