"anthropic is using the same playbook religious institutions have been using for centuries"
"you will all die. and because i can protect you, you must follow me, you must do what i say"
"this is the same psychological concept"

California just made age verification the price of using basic internet features.
Under new laws signed by Gavin Newsom, adults may have to prove they’re adults to unlock personalized feeds, autoplay, and unrestricted AI chatbots.
“Protect the children” is becoming “verify everyone.”

have to admit it's kinda hilarious how the smartest scientists and math geniuses walked straight into AI's panopticon and handed over their life's work because they're white gullible men who trust and believe Sam Altman will help them
easy marks outdone by a Looney Tunes trap
if you said this anytime before last week you were a lunatic conspiracy theorist
now it’s so mainstream hillary ‘we came, we saw, he died’ clinton is saying it publicly
What AI execs are panicking about behind closed doors is the dearth of profits and pricing power, for anyone outside semis and the bottleneck trade. China is supplying tokens globally for free after VC, SV, and Wall Street committed $3 trillion they won't be able to recoup.
RIP to the 2,976 people that lost their lives on 9/11
And RIP to the 3.7 million people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine,Syria, Yemen, and Pakistan who paid the ultimate price for a crime they did not commit

Well, I was 21, mate. I watched this happen live on television, and even then I could have told you this wasn't when “it” started.
It wasn't even the first Islamist terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. That happened in 1993.
Hamas had existed since 1987. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict was already decades old. 9/11 was carried out by al-Qaeda, an entirely different organisation.
So bundling Hamas, Palestinian “resistance” and 9/11 into one great Muslim Cinematic Universe is historically illiterate.
What 9/11 *did* start was the War on Terror: Afghanistan, then the catastrophic adventure in Iraq, thousands of dead American servicemen and their allies, vastly greater numbers of dead civilians, extraordinary rendition, CIA torture, secret prisons, Abu Ghraib, Guantánamo and an enormous expansion of the national-security state.
America responded to nineteen hijackers by spending trillions of dollars, invading countries, shredding its own professed commitment to human rights and spending the next quarter-century politically losing its fucking mind.
That is the historical legacy of September 11 worth discussing.
“Hamas started here” is something you'd say only if your understanding of the Middle East began when you switched the television on that morning.
Broken record here but AI being used for "pre-crime" incident prediction that factors in whatever is deemed to be ACTIVISM should raise red flags regarding governments' sudden push for AI-related policies, #ageverification and #socialmediaban.
Case in point: The Philippines.
"Privacy is only for people hiding something."
So is a locked door.
So is a curtain.
So is an unlisted number.
Protection is being re-framed as "hiding".
Locks were never about guilt.
They were always about who gets to decide who enters.
the fact anyone is falling for this rhetoric is legitimately horrifying. This is utter nonsense that frames the companies as helpless to do anything and LLMs as some sort of impossible-to-contain thing versus *cloud software powered by the largest companies in the world*
"I have nothing to hide."
False.
You have medical history
You have financial behavior
You have location patterns
You have political views
You have relationship data
Privacy was never about hiding crimes. It was always about owning your life.
First they came for the adult sites and i did nothing.
Then they came for social media and i did nothing.
Then they came for my games and i did nothing.
Now i can't use my computer or phone without showing my ID and i just submitted it because i need to use my devices.
This is the reality and it really annoys me when i see people "OH JUST USE A VPN DURRRR WHY U NO HAVE ONE?"
A VPN does not solve the issue. The censorship is still going on and because nothing is being done, the location you're connecting to through the VPN will end up with the same censorship laws.
Furthermore it's frustrating that it doesn't die at the adult industry step already, nobody is willing to cover or talk about it because it's "icky", if we did it would have never come to this. The adult industry drove the adoption of things such as VHS, DVD, streaming video and online payments, life may have looked different without it.
The false flag anthrax attacks which were used to terrorize the US public into going along with wars and attacks on liberty came from a US government or allied lab.
#NeverForget
Every day I see the same thing. An indie dev making something cool getting blatantly ripped off by one of these clowns, it’s insane.
Don’t share your game = no sales
Share your game = get cloned
