"DSA has built a socialist movement because we have never excluded people who wanted to build with us for having the wrong reasoning."
Is the left missing the moment on AI doom? @Ord_Snowflake examines for Power Map.

“There is also an optimism in dismissing fears of AI Doomsday as mere marketing. This optimism is most palpable in the economic bubble piece of this story. For some, the AI bubble bursting functions as a kind of Biblical Flood, promising to wash away all of the issues arising from the AI industry. When it finally happens, we will be free of AI customer service agents, AI psychosis, AI in education, AI taking over our jobs, and so on. Unfortunately, this is generally not how bubbles work.
Most crucially, the real problem with this narrative is that there are real reasons to be afraid. Not in a “Skynet superintelligent AI turning on humanity in a sci-fi judgment day scenario,” but in the incredibly banal “as soon as the powers that be find AI models sufficiently capable to be put in charge of defense, weapons development and guidance (including bioweapons), and information, they will do it.” Smiling serenely and saying (correctly) AI is not super intelligent or sentient will not stop it from being used as though it is. Therein lies the real existential threat: not Skynet, but Shitty Skynet.”
Bravo to @Ord_Snowflake on this excellent contribution to the conversation about AI.
Whether you are persuaded by fears of superintelligence or not, the things we need to do to prevent the most catastrophic risks are the same. Let’s come together and do it!

In solidarity with the mainstream media, Power Map has fired our White House correspondent effective immediately.
Major TV networks ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox News have joined CNN in suspending White House pool coverage of Donald Trump after the Trump administration banned CNN from the White House.

Fantastic article on how DSA should approach AI from @Ord_Snowflake in Power Map. The section below is so important for thinking about how we can direct popular AI fears towards the growth of the socialist movement.

Brilliant balancing of the contradictions and potentials for left organizing around AI, and tech writ large. Read this if you're organizing around data centers, AI, tech oppression, surveillance policing.

I really enjoyed editing @Ord_Snowflake's essay on AI. I think she does a fantastic job bridging the gap between the two factions on AI Doom and offers a sobering analysis of how AI could fuck things up for us, even if it doesn't kill us all.

Read my latest in Power Map where I argue we need to cut through the noise of the AI Doomsday debate and build the largest coalition we can if we want to have any hope of regulating AI

Earlier this week, Jacobin released a report detailing how we can win the working class. But their definition of working class is flawed and leads them to justify reactionary views on social issues.

House Leadership announced they have no plans to punish rogue Democrats who keep voting with Republicans. That checks out. They have no plans to punish Democrats who engage in open racism either.
