I just think it’s funny that “AI” (which is “artificial intelligence” not in the sense of “human-made” but in the sense of “fake”) is contemperaneous with Trump.
This is going to go down in history (if humanity survives long enough) as the Idiot and Lunatic Age.
From what I’ve gleaned of the ravings of the angry stupid right blogosphere, a lot of people actually do think that only tree huggers want green energy.
And I have little doubt that that’s an opinion that Trump shares, but that’s not his main motivation in all of this. His main motivation is big fat bribes from the fossil fuel industry.
And thanks to Trump, the US is perfectly placed to be entirely left behind.
I’ve been especially impressed by the prescience of Bo Burnham’s line in Welcome to the Internet - “Obama sent the immigrants to vaccinate your kids.”
As far as I know, it hasn’t become a quote from an actual right-wing nonsense-driveler yet, but it might as well be.
