This is the paradox of Trump's Nero-esque perception of the US in the Gulf
The Gulf states are all net contributors to US power, through investments, basing for US military, providing good offices for mediation/negotiation etc.
Yet, somehow Trump thinks it can extract more concessions from the Gulf states when it has just thrown the GCC under the bus to please the net consumer of US power: Israel
The Gulf only needs access to US tech and defence equipment - that's it - a requirement they could choose to procure from elsewhere (Europe/Asia).
no one shows more chronically online behaviour than your friend who despises their job but has no choice but to stay there because the job market is so shitty
Calling it from now, the only reason they’re pushing AI has consciousness is so they can give it rights to vote and they’ll end up voting for their corporate overlords lol fuck clankers and fuck every single one of the goons pushing this shit
The discourse on AI consciousness is the most dogshit take I’ve heard in years. I don’t know bro, is the fucking NPC in Skyrim conscious? Does the dragon you just Fus Ro Dah’d off a fucking cliff cry about it later? Imbecile species no wonder you worshipped idols.
Listen I’m not a complete AI hater, I still use it to help organise my thoughts when I’m working on larger written tasks but Jesus fucking Christ the way we’re being THROATED this shit is beyond infuriating can they fucking die off already
