Every AI company knows they're building the wrong thing.

And they can't stop.

Because the competitive structure specifically punishes anyone who slows down long enough to build the right thing.

The race is real. The destination is fake.

Great job!

Ouch, 2025 was a tough year for Apple. I consider writing my own opinion on this, but it seems everything has already been said. Overall, it was a difficult year for Apple on many levels. Unfortunately, this isn’t yet clear in their financial reports; if it were, the executives might see things differently.

Very pleased to see Apple get an absolute dogshit rating for “Impact on the World” in this report card from Apple influencers of many styles.

For all the trials and tribulations of being an Apple fan for 25+ years I can honestly say whilst I may have been disappointed or frustrated on occasion I’ve never been utterly fucked off and actively angry with them until seeing Cook bend the knee to trump with that glass and gold monstrosity this year… 🤮

"What the problem usually boils down to is a dearth of available sexual opportunities—not so much willing sex partners, as women who don't totally own their own bodies, and so therefore can't say "no" to sex so easily."
https://www.the-reframe.com/fix-your-hearts-or-die/

"The reason young men are lonely—that is (to name the specific problem that is usually indicated whenever male loneliness is mentioned), the reason they are having trouble getting sex partners they want—is that, if you listen to the young men suffering in this way, they still believe that they are owed a female as a possession, and because of feminism," (continued in /4)

So, fix it. Fix your hearts or die. Fix your hearts or isolation. Fix your hearts or loneliness.

Or, if you like: Fix your hearts AND LIVE.

Fixing involves doing the necessary work, not having work done for you. People can build the path, but they can't walk it for you. So, walk the path. Do the work.

- A.R. Moxon, Fix Your Hearts or Die https://www.the-reframe.com/fix-your-hearts-or-die/ #feminism

Today I wrote about the Male Loneliness Epidemic, and the ways that a cult(ure) of abuse leads so many to seek paths of healing solely on behalf of abusers, and doing so not by building paths of universal liberation, but by repairing paths of domination.

"A man free of patriarchy is a man who has found not only every woman's humanity, but one who has at last discovered his own. The actual path to liberation for lonely men is feminism—because pursuing an identity based on dominating others is self-isolating." www.the-reframe.com/fix-your-hea...

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/feb/23/15-year-old-girl-misogyny-social-media-online-abuse

I suspect like many people here I jumped ship from the mainline social media companies a couple years back, partially because I could see that these algorithmic feed was serving me shit I didn't want to see.

I'm a dad to two girls, neither has started their time online yet and seeing this sort of bullshit, I honestly would rather they never did.

Is there a kid friendly mastodon server? Thats probably gonna be just "we've got tiktok at home".

man, this blows.

The examples included here are horrible. Not just the sex-shaming, but that too.

I'm far from convinced that a social media ban is the answer, but the comment is still well worth reading - especially by men.

There are a lot of threads about this depressing article:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/feb/23/15-year-old-girl-misogyny-social-media-online-abuse

It supports the idea of a social media ban for under-16s.

I also don't want to see children exposed to offensive, dehumanizing "content", but I am wondering why a ban is the cure. The examples the writer cites are all examples of simply unacceptable speech. If the social media platforms had effective moderation, this would not be a problem. If every instance of misogyny and other hate speech was taken down, and abusers got reliably suspended and banned, the experience of girls and minorities on these platforms would be infinitely better. The people doing the hate might be pushed to reconsider their behavior.

Instead we will take away internet freedom from young people and force identity verification on everyone, undermine VPNs and so on. Why? Because that will be easier and cheaper for the tech giants.

Don't ban girls from social media. Ban the abusers.

OpenAI is a menace. Two recent stories make that clearer than ever.

One day you have Sam Altman denigrating humanity to defend AI. The next, WSJ reveals OpenAI could have alerted Canadian police of a potential mass shooter, but refused pressure from employees. That person went on to kill 8 people.

As a political economist, of course I agree with Jostein Hauge when he concludes:

'Economics is fundamentally political — it has never been & never will be, a value-free science. At its core, economics is shaped by ideologies, human morality, competing interests, social norms & political priorities. Pretending otherwise does not make economics more rigorous. It makes it more dangerous. Economics was born as political economy for a reason!'
