#AI Is a #MassDelusion Event
Three years in, one of AI’s enduring impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it.
"Who thought this was a good idea?"
By Charlie Warzel, August 18, 2025
Excerpt: "The interview triggered a feeling that has become exceedingly familiar over the past three years. It is the sinking feeling of a societal race toward a future that feels bloodless, hastily conceived, and shruggingly accepted. Are we really doing this? Who thought this was a good idea? In this sense, the Acosta interview is just a product of what feels like a collective delusion. This strange brew of shock, confusion, and ambivalence, I’ve realized, is the defining emotion of the generative-AI era. Three years into the hype, it seems that one of AI’s enduring cultural impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it."

Trump may be chipping away at America's economic advantage.
In recent weeks, Donald Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics when her agency reported weak job growth
and tried to force out officials at the Federal Reserve when they refused to cut interest rates.
He and his aides have used the power of the federal government to target
— and perhaps criminally prosecute
— perceived enemies, including at the Fed, and to pressure companies over their business decisions.
His administration has used private tax data to pursue undocumented immigrants
and overruled the decisions of once-independent government grant makers to cut off funding for certain kinds of scientific and medical research.
Nabta Playa: The world’s first astronomical site was built in Africa and is older than Stonehenge

Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post appeared to be embedded with the FBI and published pictures from inside the police perimeter. 🤔
As the saying goes for authoritarian regimes - For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law.

FYI - my super expensive dentist that I only ever went to in an emergency because it was SO expensive (and because I couldn't find any NHS dentist anywhere) always told me my teeth needed a ton of work. After finding an NHS dentist - despite having to travel through the gates of HELL - they said my teeth are basically fine if not actually quite good. And the thousands of pounds of surgery I apparently needed, they fixed for £75.03.
Vive la NHS!
