JOE ROGAN: The computing power on your phone today. can you beat your phone at the highest level?
MAGNUS CARLSEN: No. No chance.
JOE ROGAN: That’s crazy. Wasn’t Deep Blue basically a whole stack of computers? And your phone is probably more powerful than that today.
MAGNUS CARLSEN: It’s shocking. I have no chance against my phone.
JOE ROGAN: So how do you even play against computers?
MAGNUS CARLSEN: I rarely play against engines because they just make me feel stupid and useless. I think of them more as a tool.
JOE ROGAN: But have computers actually changed how you understand chess?
MAGNUS CARLSEN: Absolutely. Neural networks have improved our understanding of the game immensely.
JOE ROGAN: What did you learn from them that humans weren’t already doing?
MAGNUS CARLSEN: One big thing was long-term king safety. Humans used to push pawns mainly as an attacking tool. But the engines showed that you could push a pawn and create a weakness 20 or 30 moves later that would make the opponent’s king less safe.
JOE ROGAN: So the computer basically showed you ideas that humans weren’t seeing.
MAGNUS CARLSEN: Exactly. There was a period where you could clearly see which players were using these new neural-network ideas and which weren’t.
JOE ROGAN: And you were one of the guys who figured it out early?
MAGNUS CARLSEN: Yeah. My coach got into it very quickly, and we gained an advantage over almost everybody.
JOE ROGAN: That’s insane. The machines aren’t just better at calculating, they’re actually teaching the best players how to think differently.
MAGNUS CARLSEN: That’s probably the biggest impact they’ve had on chess.

Les réseaux sociaux me semblent être des outils de dépolitisation massive. Dans le sens où ils offrent un espace pour évacuer la frustration et retarder le passage à l'action dans le réel. Cela permet aussi de briller au sein d'une petite communauté, de jouer au jeu de la radicalité performative à peu de frais, de trouver des compagnons de route sans sortir de chez soi.
Oui, les algorithmes existent. Oui, l'effet de vase clos favorise la pensée binaire (mais j'aurais tendance à dire que c'est de toute façon l'essence de la politique dès qu'elle sort des livres de philosophie). Il n'empêche que les réseaux achètent du temps aux autorités. Personne ne lance des pavés tant qu'il est possible de faire des tweets en espérant changer le monde et "éveiller les consciences".
Faire sa part, c'est "sensibiliser". Alors tout le monde fait de la sensibilisation son action politique et rien ne bouge. Ce qui veut dire, si l'idée est juste, que le débordement de violence qui s'installe pour les années à venir est le signe d'une situation de crise si grave que la coupe commence à déborder dans le réel alors même que nous avions la meilleure soupape possible à disposition.

I think this is an accurate assessment. The postwar settlement of the 20th Century has run its course. All the problems are a product of it, and it can provide none of the solutions.
🇺🇸 Midterms wipeout

🇧🇷 Bolsonaro losing to an 81 year old socialist

🇳🇱 Geert Wilders losing a third of his vote share
Everywhere the slopulist right is taking a drubbing. These people have nothing to offer young people, no vision, no economic promises beyond protecting boomer pensions and property prices. The only pitch to anyone else has been fear of the left and mass-immigration and it's failed to hold back either.
One of the only exceptions to this trend is the AfD, who responded to the Iran War and Greenland nonsense by reasserting German sovereignty, while Farage was begging his government to let America use British bases for the Purim war.
The right can't win with these people in charge. It needs to do what the left did in the 1960s and be taken over by young radicals who totally rebuild intellectually. Will we find the human capital to do that? For years the right has selected for vapid, fame hungry influencers and mindless shills, and the average right winger's brain has been so fried by conspiratorialism they can hardly think.
It will be tough, but regardless of what comes next, the vision of the establishment right has already lost.
