  • SkyBidet - keeping your cloud portal clean and secure using streaming AI

    I’ve been seeing a few mentions of GenAI (short for generative), so I peedict that the new term will be Genie. Like a catchall for all of the magical things that tech is supposed to make better or possible.

    SkyBidet now features Genie technology to make your every wish a reality! Just Make A Wish into your device, and our sophisticated personalized Genie will use its awesome powers to grant your desire.

    Basically the logical conclusion of magical thinking about technology and bazinga galaxy-brain brainworms







  • “I have a deep-seated fear,” he told me, “that the Black struggle will ultimately, at its root, really just be about narrow Black interest. And I don’t think that is in the tradition of what our most celebrated thinkers have told the world. I don’t think that’s how Martin Luther King thought about the Black struggle. I know that’s not how Du Bois thought about the Black struggle. I know that’s not how Baldwin thought about the Black struggle. Should it turn out that we have our first Black woman president, and our first South Asian president, and we continue to export 2,000-pound bombs to perpetrate a genocide, in defense of a state that is practicing apartheid, I won’t be able to just sit here and shake my head and say, ‘Well, that is unfortunate.’ I’m going to do what I can in the time that remains, and the writing that I have, to not allow that to be, because that is existential death for the Black struggle, and for Black people, as far as I’m concerned.”

    He’s starting to understand it seems. Too bad he doesn’t have any real theory enjoyers in his personal circles. He could really use some about now.
