that people use AI technologies in their work and explain that it saves them precious time that they can devote to other more urgent tasks tells me less about the wondrousness of the technologies and more about the overextension and immiseration of workers.

The Roman Empire fell because of Goths and Vandals. The British Empire fell because of overextension and ruinous wars. The American Empire is falling because we're the dumbest fucking country to ever exist. bsky.app/profile/phil...

yknow we've had all kinds of root causes for imperial decline over the centuries. barbarian invasions, economic crashes, just general overextension. but this might be the first time that "total dissolution of the spirit" is at the heart of it all

Basic things kill a civilization.

Unfairness. Overextension.

Explains almost everything.

“.. the next [AI] catalyst is $NVDA’s earnings release on Nov 19 where options are implying a 6.4% one-day move. Alternatively, $ORCL has lost almost 6% on overextension risk, as vol increases and CDS widens.”

Fueling its war machine *was* expensive, but that buildup was a result of global imperial overextension rather than a specific war. It also began before the Reagan administration (as Reagan apologists are loathe to admit!) with the Soviet imperial adventure in East Africa during the Ogaden War.

Please please please eliminate his power.
I don't give a damn what you call data center information.
I do care that he & The GOP's thirst for power, exuding power over others, displaying ongoing overextension of their powers=abuse of humanity & nature. They have no respect for
Trump tells the UN he is officially changing the name of Artificial Intelligence to "Super Intelligence" and says all US government documents will now be changed to refer to "SI"

First deadlifts in the new gym. 120kg x 4 @ RPE 5 Little bit of an overextension but we vibe

This actually feels like a pretty big overextension and a way to alienate a key Trump supporting base.

🧵 1. Listen to history on labor day. The Gilded Age (1870s to 1900) laid the groundwork for the triggers of The Great Depression in 1929. Wealth inequality. Weak regulations of banking and markets. Trusts and monopolies. Agricultural overextension. Busts in 1873, 1893. Then...

“How big is it?” Mom asks.

Our hero’s brilliant response: “Thirteen dollars.”

It’s a wonderful example of overextension - and window on his growing language development.

Military overextension is stage 1 of the collapse of an empire. Further stages can run concurrently.

Social custome that outsiders read as uncivil or rude or strange are cultural adaptations to socially manage the strange situation of Appalachia, perched so long as a strange overextension of empire that was also marginalized by that empire.

*DC 10 insight check* 12, success

It occurs to you that the overextension of the Empire may have led to an expansion of acceptable martial demographics.
A patriarchal society that puts weapons in the hands of women? Interesting.

combining business interests with the more radical impulses of fascism has always been a problem for far-right coalitions

currently Trump/Musk are playing their hands very hard, it's our job to make it seem like an overextension and break their coalition

The problem with doing a ton of stuff yourself to the point of overextension, and then transitioning to a more sustainable process of delegated tasks to collaborators, is how much you never really shake the feeling that, afterwards, you haven't done enough yourself.
