Also, I appreciate the support, but @timeextension.com is a news website, I doubt they knew about this lol.

If anything my concern is more with the publisher bsky.app/profile/bitm...

Shout to everyone who's writing such thoughtful (and challenging, even) comments to this piece. Truly lucky to have a reader community like this at BITM.
The left is not "missing out" on AI. It's winning the argument. Americans worry about AI and dislike tech CEOs. They're mobilizing against data centers. They support regulation, even refusal.

Calls for the left to embrace AI are an effort to change the terms of the debate in Silicon Valley's favor.
Actually, the left is winning the AI debate
But it does need to get organized.

All of your BITM posts are convertible to NFTs, you know.

As expected, @hypervisible.blacksky.app brought the smoke to the latest episode of Blood in the Machine. Btw, BITM is now on instagram (www.instagram.com/bloodinthema...) and TikTok (www.instagram.com/bloodinthema...)

He also did the salute TWICE in succession so there's no mistaking this for anything else

A friend pointed out that right after I published last week's post arguing that the notion that X/Twitter was a "global town square" could finally be laid to rest for good, Elon felt compelled to tweet 'nuh uh.'

Greetings all. I'm looking for a podcast producer to help do a (much) more regular BLOOD IN THE MACHINE show. I thought I'd start by reaching out here, and to the broader BITM community. If this sounds like it's up your alley, details are in the link below:

A quick rare and earnest note: Thank you to all who subscribed after this post, and the dozens who became paid subscribers. I haven't offered incentives or exclusives, so this means a lot.

And thank you to all the BITM readers and community, for helping me think + work through this dark moment.
