His name was Khalifah Williams. He was an Imam (Muslim cleric). They tried to hide his Muslim identity. Remember him the way he wanted to be remembered. He deserves respect and dignity. Pray he is resting in power in heaven and attains eternal peace. Ameen.

Not exactly a Heinlein fan, but “grok” is a good word and it bothers me that musk is using it.

A bunch of teenagers in my city, who aren’t old enough to vote, when door-to-door in their neighborhood asking their neighbors to vote for their future. Something is happening here, and I like it.

"Humanity has been stripped from the digital world: deliberately, maliciously." —Sarah Kendzior #ai#enshittification#digitalfeudalism#digitalcolonialismsarahkendzior.substack.com/p/the-red-wh...

I don’t buy a lot of stuff because I don’t have a lot of money. I don’t use a lot of technology because I don’t like it. I don’t like it because the people who control it are bad.

They ruined every good innovation of my life. They encouraged us to destroy the analog world, and after we did, they replaced it with bullshit and lies.

Google, once a wellspring of information sorted by chronology and preserved in caches, is an unusable cesspool. Photos taken by real people of real places have been replaced with AI fakes. Niche online hobby forums were sold to corporations and became unusable due to spam and bots.

The early excitement of reconnecting with old friends on Facebook was replaced by the relentless push of automatons. You reach out for connection, but the algorithm ties your hands. You follow friends but are instead shown influencers. Where did everyone go, and who are these made-up strangers in their place?
On YouTube and Tik-Tok, people transform their lives into infomercials, often to make cash in the gig economy that politicians deny exists. On Twitter, people become indistinguishable from the bots and paid operatives of political groups. Mobs spout vicious mantras in service of a cause or candidate that onlookers are told merits the cruelty inflicted on the last real human beings.

There is no safe place to talk to a friend. Privacy has been obliterated. Anyone can go viral, and virality, true to its early internet coinage, is a disease. You go viral in pieces, devoid of context, like a chalk outline at a crime scene. Your crime was existing.

Humanity has been stripped from the virtual world: deliberately, maliciously. The goal is to make humans less human. Less imaginative and more callous; more desperate and less kind. Less demanding of authority, but ruthlessly demanding of ordinary people who hold neither leverage nor power.
