I hate GenAI. I hate it because it's wasteful, it's of questionable value, it's the ultimate form of rentier capitalism, it's anti-labor, it's mass exploitation of intellectual worker labor and it's causing immense emotional harm.

What I personally hate most? That it's ruining the job I love. It's taking a rewarding career and turning it into mindless grunt work, destroying the spark of genius in all who use it regularly.

Since the DNC's headline is "she didn't listen to rural and middle of the country voters" and "too much identity politics* I want to point out that was not born out by the results in WI.

In WI every county shifted towards Trump vs. 2020. Urban or rural, liberal or conservative. The only exceptions: a few conservative suburbs.

That's really notable! On election night, the Dems were saying they targeted those counties and that's why, at first, they were hopeful at early results.

If the problem is "identity politics" then you need to explain why identity politics were utterly toxic statewide but not in conservative suburbs. That isn't believable to me in the least.

Here's another possibility: Dems targeted moderate-ish women voters in suburbs in Wisconsin. They did this by emphasizing bipartisanship, like by doing events with Liz Cheney which she did in Ripon, the birthplace of the GOP.

They assumed that their margins statewide would just be better than they were and they assumed wrong.

Seems more plausible, doesn't it?
