Var sommarens tal om AI-apokalyps bara bluff? Med tanke på att media gått tillbaka till att snacka om sådant här istället...
Eller är det förnekelse?

Don´t get me wrong, but it *is* kind of funny that the CEO of Nvidia fell for the oldest trick in the Cold War playbook (the honey trap c/o a Communist regime) when the fate of the entire human race might be in the balance. You know, AI and that stuff.
At least there is a 10% risk that it might happen within ten years. Or something to that effect. Hopefully our new AI overlords won´t have reptile brains!
Demokratisk centralism

Okej, det här Expressen. Som hjärtlöst hatar Vänsterpartiet.
Måste dock säga att Vänsterns krishantering är bland det sämsta jag har sett i svensk politik. Det för tankarna till hur den dåvarande statsministern Ingvar Carlsson totalt tondövt förklarade för många år sedan att Anna-Greta Leijon, som just tvingats avgå som justitieminister efter diverse skandalösa turer i Palme-utredningen, *givetvis* skulle få ett nytt toppjobb?!
Alltså länkar vi ändå! Observera förresten kommentaren om Amineh Kakabaveh.

Punditry
The year was 2012. I think. Unfortunately, I didn´t take any notes. But one newspaper pessimistically predicted that by the year 2020 (or thereabouts) all chocolate would be gone in the world. Cuz climate change will destroy all cocoa plantations. Another newspaper (or maybe the same one!) also optimistically predicted that by the year 2020 (or thereabouts) the world would have abundant energy from fusion power. Assuming somebody pays something like a trillion euros for developing such power plants.
What we really got was...more of the same. I can still buy chocolate in my supermarket. And I can turn on electricity from fission power or hydro.
But yeah, it´s gotten more expensive. Much more, actually. They also missed a couple of crises which did happen. You know, the demographic crisis, the migrant crisis, a dude named Trump becoming US president, that kind of stuff. Nothing to worry about, just some slight oversights, I´m sure.
And now sports!
Never trust a convert
Here we go again...
Uncle Eddie is skeptical of religious conversions. Do people really change? As in really-really? A propos Russell Brand´s alleged conversion to Christianity.
Climate crisis?

So I just saw a Christmas decoration here in Sweden which associates Santa Claus with...fallow deer?! Ahem, surely *everyone* knows that Santa should be paired with reindeer! You know, caribou. That kind of thing. Any connection to climate change?
What´s next, I wonder? Unicorns? LOL. Merry Xmas, btw.
Your shopping mall is sentient
Thomas Sheridan is "back on track" with something he calls VoN-X. Yes, it´s fringe Forteana. On New Year´s Day 2024, the Miami police investigated an incident at the Bayside Marketplace shopping mall. Rumor has it that space aliens had invaded! And so on. Sheridan originally believed that it was a psy-op (in itself a fringey belief) but now thinks that shopping malls are sentient and that the building itself somehow "created" paranormal entities and poltergeist phenomena. Our man also claims that he and a friend once made themselves invisible using magick (I think I remember that video).
Sheridan might return with an X-file video on the New Jersey drone flap, but personally I think that was just people going bazooka over completely regular drones, not some kind of Fortean event.
That being said...make of this content whatever you wish!
