here’s a reality check for those of us in the lefty info bubble : Trump’s approval ratings just hit an all-time high. The people voted for unhinged aggression in all directions, and they love to see it. “The cruelty is the point.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-notches-all-time-high-approval-rating-as-dems-hit-new-low/ #uspol

Last night I finally did a little #coding project with an #AI assistant. The tech is really good. It reminds me of pair programming with an eager, super talented junior dev: fast and competent, but with some bad habits and in need of guidance. It’s so sad that we just got the #StarTrek computer, but instead of ushering in a post-scarcity socialist utopia, it’s going to destroy the climate, demolish creative craftsman jobs, and squeeze out the middle class for the benefit of greedy psychopaths.
