Went to see Obsession last week and for the first time noticed one of these warn...no, that's too strong, meek statement of preference maybe at the end of the credits. At least I know they tried to keep AI from creating nightmare wish sticks.

Hi all! one important thing to think about. often times people will safe WFMU is a safe space, which it is, but with AI searches anything on the comments board is searchable. so anything you say on the board here you may want to avoid sharing too much personal stuff

Good point. Yes - anything on a public site is liable to be hoovered up for AI training & analysis, and forever storage, by various Big Tech firms.

speaking of Ford-isms, I learned yesterday that Ford pushed square dancing into american culture - and it was based on a rascist agenda

Yes, the "woke mind virus" is mentioned several times in the book - including the likely origin, where Musk got that phrase.

Hi DjL & KfHP

"Industrialist Henry Ford popularized the form, believing that Jews invented jazz as a plot to corrupt society and that this plot could be counteracted by returning America to dances and musical styles that he saw as traditional and white. As a result, beginning in the early 1920s, he used his wealth to promote square dancing, through books and square dancing events. Ford also promoted square dance classes in public school, which were present in half of all American schools by 1928 as part of the standard physical education curriculum. Modern western square dance evolved in square dance events funded by Ford, using direction and guidance prepared by Colorado school superintendent Lloyd "Pappy" Shaw"

I don't have a link at hand, but I recall a news item the other day that all but three refugees allowed to enter the US last year were from South Africa. Elon Musk is from South Africa. Coincidence?

they speak stupid to their undereducated fans which there are many of in the US. then they're seen as both relatable and smart by that audience/fanbase

The book draws out a number of South Africa connections - not just through Musk but through other members of the "PayPal mafia"

There are quite a few book titles that have used the Maimonides "Guide for the Perplexed" in a sort of jokey way. They probably saw it second hand.
