Today, I'm working on my eurorack case, I.e. sanding down all the visible parts. When that's done, I only have to drill holes for the corner protection thingys, which are taking their sweet time to arrive. I ordered them from Ukraine, a country at war(!) and it's still customs in my country being the bottle neck.

Still haven't decided on a finishing yet, maybe dark oak?

I'm also going to keep on working on the Turing Machine.

"Everyone's talking about AI, how it will change the world, and even suggesting it might end humanity as we know it. Dave Troy is joined by Dr. Timnit Gebru and Émile Torres, two prominent critics of AI doomerism, to cut through the noise, and look at where these ideas really came from, and offer suggestions on how we might look at these problems differently. And they also offer a picture of the darker side of these ideas and how they connect to Eugenics and other ideologies historically.

Together Émile and Timnit coined an acronym called TESCREAL, which stands for Transhumanism, Extropianism, Singularitarianism, Cosmism, Rationalism, Effective Altruism, and Longtermism — and yeah, that's a lot of -isms. But it ties into other topics that we have covered in this series, including Russian Cosmism and Longtermism.

Dr. Gebru came to prominence in 2020 after she was fired from Google for speaking up about the company's lack of ethical guardrails in its AI development work. Émile Torres studies existential risk and has been a critic of the "longtermist" movement for several years."—Dave Troy >

As the United States faces yet another showdown over the federal debt ceiling, we examine the roots of the conflict by looking at the "North/Paul Strategy," a decades-old plan to provoke a financial collapse and then seize power. Rooted in libertarian economic theory and Christian Reconstructionist doctrine, Gary North and Ron Paul's ideas laid the foundation for the Tea Party and later, January 6th.

Dave chats with James Scaminaci III, a scholar and expert on Fourth Generation Warfare, and Frederick Clarkson, who has been studying religious extremism for decades, and is an expert on the New Apostolic Reformation.

They look at why economic eschatology is a persistent feature of American political life, and how we might break the vicious "cycle of doom."

"The 'trans agenda' is managing to get a job and keeping it while being bullied, managing to get a home and keeping it, having a relationship instead of being an erotic fetish when wifey is not watching, and not getting socially ostracised or treated like shit by medical institutions."—Alice Segeling

Ever since I learned to write music like this, I kind of lost respect for "industrial" artists like NIN and KMFDM. It's... so EASY to write music this way. At least with my old-school sequencer, I actually had to play the notes I wrote.

Like right now, I am writing a song that's KMFDM/Front 242/Nitzer Ebb-like and it takes zero effort.
