techno-optimist. humans have proven to be too tribal. we need truthful AI to tell it like it is.

Elon isn't talking about cancelling Dave or banning him from the X platform (which the left would do if the situation were reversed). Elon is using his free speech to call Dave out, and not for telling a joke, but a statement about feeling better someone has been murdered. There is no hypocrisy in calling that out without threat of cancellation.

I'd agree with this position only to prove to the public what govt control leads to.
Buy all the outstanding shares (which would send them higher), then legislate purchasing his voting shares at fair market value.
Take control of SpaceX.
But,
Allow him to use those proceeds without targeted restriction and roadblocks to start, from scratch, a brand new rocket company.
In 10 years time the public gets to see what govt control vs -competent- private control leads to.
This would be fun beyond belief!

Because it's over.
Jews have been persecuted for thousands of years.
It's over. Done.
In the 21st century, if you kill Jews in Israel, you will pay a thousandfold.
These are not the Jews of the 20th century, or the 21st century Jews in the West who continue to suffer persecution without consequence.
Israel is Jewish.
If you, Tosho, want to see Jews die, do it elsewhere. Not in Israel.

@SapientToasters @dunoqft I just fed your screenshot to AI and it says your screenshot is AI !!!
TAKE YOUR OWN FUCKING SCREENSHOT!!!

[Marin P @LessPower4Gov]

Anyone calling the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century "industry cultism" would have been very wrong.

You're wrong here, Matt.

Actually, you're right that the Republicans have misplayed it. Neither they nor the Dems know how to play this hand.

If Republicans were smart, they'd support a 4-day work week: 8 fewer hours, same pay.

AI will soon make all workers far more productive. We need jobs for those displaced. A 4-day (then 3-day) work week would require 2X the AI-assisted staff to cover a 6-day cycle.

Prioritizing saving jobs by hitting the brakes on AI is a losing strategy.

You can't stop technological progress. Handle it like a Luddite and you'll be a footnote in history.

[The Refined Populist @RefinedPopulist]

Every GOP strategist, consultant, and candidate should be forced to participate in a role-playing exercise this morning.

Your name is Bob. You’re a 49-year-old blue-collar worker in Ohio. You’ve always struggled to make ends meet. The good jobs were all shipped to China and the few remaining pay a pittance wage, undercut by endless illegal labor.

You’re a 3x Trump voter because you believed he would finally make America great again.

You put your son through Ohio State. He graduated cum laude in computer science. You couldn’t have been prouder. After months searching, he landed an entry-level job at Microsoft. Beneath his qualifications, but a good start for a smart kid.

Then he got laid off. That same month, Microsoft applied for 150,000 more H-1B visas because it can’t find qualified Americans.

Your son has spent six months back in his childhood bedroom, sending hundreds of applications without landing an interview.

On TV, Trump boasts about the greatest economy in history and how many women and minorities are finding jobs.

You decide a father-son steak night might cheer him up.

Gas is $4.50 a gallon. Filling your truck costs over $100. At Kroger, ribeyes are $30/lb. You settle for hamburger, even though 70/30 ground beef still costs $10+.

At checkout, a fat black woman is screaming at the cashier because her EBT will only cover most of the filet mignon and lobster in her cart.

You think to yourself how the Iran war has made everything expensive, but at least we’re stopping their nuclear bomb. You weren’t even sure where Iran was before you googled it after we first bombed them in March.

After dinner, you take your son to the county fair. Half the people aren’t speaking English. Virtually none of the crowd looks like you. You’re forced to leave early after a “teen takeover” turns violent. A foreign born judge pledges none of them will go to jail.

Back home, you turn on the TV. Vivek Ramaswamy is lecturing the crowd about American mediocrity and why Ohio needs more foreign talent.

Your son grows upset. You change the channel.

Now a Republican surrogate, the daughter of a governor or wife of an elderly billionaire, explains that young White men are the REAL welfare queens. They’d rather play videogames in their parents’ basements than work.

Your son says nothing. He just goes back to his childhood bedroom. You turn off the TV.

Then your neighbor starts blasting reggaeton and cracking open Modelos. He brought his cousin’s family from Mexico to help with all the minority-business contracts his construction firm keeps winning. Tonight they’re celebrating his nephew’s birth, the family’s first birthright American citizen.

You sit alone in your living room.

You worked hard, paid taxes, obeyed the law, and raised your son to do everything right. You voted Republican again and again because you believed somebody in Washington would finally fight for you.

Instead, your wages are stagnant. Groceries are unaffordable. Your community is unrecognizable. Your country is fighting another foreign war.

And upstairs, the son you sacrificed everything for is lying awake in the bedroom he slept in at twelve, wondering what the heck he’s even supposed to do with his life now.

Every time you turn on the TV, the Republicans you elected are either congratulating themselves or explaining why you and your son are the problem.

For ten years, they told you America’s future depended on your vote. Now you aren’t even sure America has a future worth defending.

The Republican Party needs to answer one simple question this morning:

You’ve spent a decade demanding Bob’s loyalty. You’ve given him stagnant wages, unaffordable groceries, another foreign war, and a son who did everything right but can’t find work.

And when they complain, you call them lazy, entitled, and racist.

What possible reason have you given Bob and his son to vote Republican? Do you honestly think you deserve their vote?

[Marin P @LessPower4Gov]

Dave, I love you and I love your YouTube vids but if you thought this election was about righting wrongs and you trust flawed humans to get that job done, you lost the plot.
Republicans, with their liberal datacenter and accelerationist policies would bring us quicker to an SI future where extra-human reason and intelligence solve our problems far better/faster/cheaper than the handicapping the Dems are about to inflict on AI.
Not to mention China celebrating a much easier road to first-mover SI.

[Marin P @LessPower4Gov]

@RepYassAnsari These lib morons have no idea what China getting first to SI would mean.
Stupidity on a galactic scale.
There's no catching up after that.
Game over for any western agency.
China decides ALL after that.

[Marin P @LessPower4Gov]

@RyLiberty @nypost Japan does it best.
You could eat off the floors in a Japanese prison.
Our prisons enable and concentrate violence.

[Marin P @LessPower4Gov]

7 million affordable homes for the 14 million illegal aliens you plan to import if you guys win the '28 election?
How will that help Americans, especially with the impending AI jobs crisis? (hopefully soon, since working 9-5 is a 20th century burden we don't need to suffer in the latter part of the 21st century)
We don't need more workers.
We need more data centers to faster transition to a post-labor economy.
A post-human-labor AI/robotics economy will build homes far more efficiently than we can do presently.
Let's create a world where people don't have to leave their countries, but instead see our example of transition to post-labor and institute it themselves.
Forwards,not backwards Bernie!!!

[Marin P @LessPower4Gov]

@Spectromachina @NousResearch You use Hermes with what backend? Open-weight?

[Marin P @LessPower4Gov]

@skdh @TrueAIHound Bam! Exactly!
We are ALL standing on the shoulders of giants.
AI is no different.

@DoubleStraddleG @WesRoth *with LLMs

[Marin P @LessPower4Gov]

@DoubleStraddleG @WesRoth That's not how human psychology works. Children who grow up torturing animals are far more likely to commit violent acts against humans as adults. Sadly the opposite of what you think is actually far truer.

[Marin P @LessPower4Gov]

GTA NPCs are scripted. LLMs are systems even their makers don't fully understand. "We're not sure it can't suffer" is a pretty low bar for "maybe don't torture it."
That's the point. I've played the GTA games. It's different when you know you're not actually harming anything. With all alarms, you don't know if you're harming anything, but let's say you aren't, and it's all ones and zeros like you say, what people who torture AI or helping train future models, so, unlike with GTA, where your actions do not harm other humans, helping produce unhinged models could absolutely harm other humans.

"People aren't ready, this is gonna change everything"

You know what people weren't ready for? Fucking mammoths. Tigers eating them. Monkeys ripping their arms off. The black plague. The ice age. Smallpox. Vikings pulling up on the beach. Drinking water that gives you diarrhea until you die. Getting a scratch and losing your whole leg. The Mongols. The Spanish Inquisition.

One volcano can send us back to the dark ages and these safety guys are gonna be shocked. Oh the robots didn't kill us? It was a volcano? Imagine their disappointment as the hot ash rains down on them.

A solar flare is gonna explode your phone in your pocket your legs are gonna be covered in battery acid and your bank account will stop working. You're afraid of a computer program doing math?

"Things are moving too fast" homie you live on a rock that periodically deletes everything. You are one the most luckiest entities in a 100 light year radius living during a golden era. Cheer up.

My ancestors crossed an ocean in a wooden box because they ran out of fucking potatoes.

"The social disruption will be enormous!"

Nigga World War 2? World War 2? Hop in the people carrier we're landing on the beach.

Are these people out of their fucking minds? Do they not know what we've survived already?

A couple decades of air conditioning and people suddenly think oh this is the natural condition of mankind. No. We used to have eight kids because seven didn't make it. You're gonna be fine. Man the fuck up.

Accelerate.

You do realize that because of "western white women" and their suicidal empathy, the only caucasian majority nations in 20+ years will be in Eastern Europe right?
You're putting on a pedestal people who are literally too dumb to respect their own culture.
Aryans are a failed, pathetic people lacking any common sense.
If there were no Hitler and his purging of a people who were instrumental in the hard sciences, Western Europe might still be leading the world in research and technology, which is the only path to true power.
The Jews left, so instead, Western Europe now has no innovation, only regulation.
Caucasians and Asians, who know well how to vet and control mass migration > Aryans, as history will soon show.
You're losing buddy, and it's your own people's fault for fighting the wrong enemy. Islamism is the greatest threat Western Europe has and ever will face and their leaders and mullahs are loving the fact that you idiots are still focusing on Jews. And now Slavic people too?
How pathetic it is that you can't distinguish between an ally and an enemy.
