How AI Destroys Institutions

Civic institutions—the rule of law, universities, and a free press—are the backbone of democratic life. They are the mechanisms through which complex societies encourage cooperation and stability, while also adapting to changing circumstances. The real superpower of institutions is their ability to evolve and adapt within a hierarchy

The #institutions of academia were fractured and now they are broken.

The president is—literally—demolishing the White House.

What a visual for #American #institutions.

A large, classical-style building is undergoing demolition, with a significant portion of its facade removed, revealing the interior structure. A yellow excavator with “VOLVO” and “ACEDO” visible on its side is positioned in front of the building, appearing to be actively involved in the dismantling process. The building features white columns, numerous windows, and a symmetrical design, but is now partially destroyed. A black fence runs across the foreground, separating the viewer from the construction site, and several people wearing safety vests are visible in the background. The ground is covered in dirt and debris from the demolition work.

The attempts by #Western #institutions to normalise #Israel since the #ceasefire are disgusting & absurd.

First, Israel has not stopped killing #Palestinians, & by all accounts is eager to do more of it.

On planning for the future, on 'delayed gratification', on trust on the system:

2 media

1/2 social media post (uncertain date, stamp says "ten days ago")
@charlierosesmith3807
As a gen Z American, here's my two cents on the take that our generation can't handle delayed gratification: we've watched the promise of "delayed gratification" fail Gen X and Millennials repeatedly in real time because we've had access to the internet since childhood.
In elementary and middle school, I watched in real time on TV and online as Gen X had their entire life savings wiped out by the 2008-2009 depression, and as a teenager and college kid I've seen Millennials get absolutely shafted by jobs and degrees that went in promising them stable lives and then repeatedly ripped the rug out from under them, leaving millennials with no solid career progression or economic betterment to show after over a decade of consistent effort. Even outside of the internet, I've watched my grandfather, who was a computer programmer at IBM in the 60s, have his pension retroactively canceled after being a pensioner for decades, and I've watched this man in his 80s who's had two heart attacks have to go back to work 4 days of the week as an Uber driver to make ends meet, after he spent three decades of his life in a high paid office job that promised him healthcare and pension and the entire American dream.

2/2 undated social media post:
I don't have it in me to put up with the same shit. Maybe it's bratty and short sighted, but l've watched enough people older than me have enough of their decades of life ripped from them with the false promises of later rewards, so to my mind saying "this will pay off for you in the future" means you're not actually planning on paying out, you're hoping you can take advantage of my patience and goodwill.
Pay me my rewards now, or I'll assume you'll never intend to actually reward me. — 2/2 undated social media post: I don't have it in me to put up with the same shit.

@herhandsmyhands

It’s this generalized rage and shame of the #American #BodyPolitic that is manifesting in a complete abandonment of #trust in #institutions.

It’s the first time in the country’s #history where the parents intuitively feel and know that the lives of their children will not be better and they do not know how to process that or where to put all the feelz.

The objective is to hold these firms and their executives accountable through legal proceedings in every relevant jurisdiction.
