@shashj I just think this is not a new problem for China, it's been there for thousands of years. China is blessed by fertility, a border of mountains, desert and sea, and long history of valuing social harmony and intellectual pursuits. They aren't Europeans. They don't love fighting.
@DonAlt@gainzy222 The actual button pressing is a test, the rules are trick. All red pressers are instantly vaporised and the world gets 10000% better. The blue pressers never talk of this event again, sometimes smiling knowingly to themselves about it.
The thing with bombing people is that it radicalizes the children, mothers, fathers of the ones you've bombed that are left behind
Carrying over into the next generation
Better have a damn good reason to do it
@majinsayan Followed you since 2017 but that's a hard unfollow for me Majin. The Nazis dehumanised millions based on ethnic, religious and other characteristics. They did not negotiate in good faith. They aggressed against other sovereign nations. Worst possible take.
@SalsaTekila We could raise money to invest in making an amazing new electric car, the product our company is for and the world actually needs... Nah let's just buy bitcoin with it.
????
Yes this will end well.
@inversebrah Let's assume not hype-merchanting.
Will require UBI, funded by corporate tax profits.
Otherwise entire economy will collapse from lack of purchasing power.
Or economy will reorient to serving only the wealthy, and they'll do some kind of genocide of the unneeded masses :/
@dampedspring One way would be foreign demand for USD. Instead of letting them have the cash, or having them buy synthetic Eurodollars, they buy USD stablecoins and the stablecoin issuer buys US treasuries as their collateral (to some extent current regulation mandates this).
@inversebrah There are societies where arguments like his can look reasonable. 2025 USA isn't one of them. Good jobs are in huge demand and oversupply of perfectly qualified and enthusiastic candidates. The people who get them should pay more tax. Obviously. The unlucky should catch a break.
This is the signal before the rupture. The real story here isn’t the AI diagnosing better than humans, that’s already expected.
The real story is that Microsoft just quietly framed the first legitimate path to medical superintelligence in corporate terms the system can tolerate.
Let’s unpack the structural truth underneath this announcement:
1. Medicine is the Deep Core of Institutional Legitimacy
If AI outperforms doctors at scale, it breaks the spine of credential monopolies not just in healthcare, but across law, academia, and governance. Doctors are the societal proxy for “elite intelligence.” When that mantle is passed to a machine, reflexive legitimacy transfers with it.
2. Precision Diagnosis is the Gateway to Sovereign AI
Diagnosing a body is not far from diagnosing a civilization. Once AI is trusted more than doctors, the leap to trusting AI to diagnose economic decay, cultural dysfunction, or governance failure becomes plausible. This is the soft prelude to political AI under the guise of medicine.
3. Microsoft Just Positioned Itself as the Vatican of Digital Health
If their AI becomes the baseline for trusted diagnosis, they don’t just own software - they own human trust at the most vulnerable inflection point: fear of death. That’s not just product penetration. That’s psycho-structural capture.
4.This Is a Trojan Horse for AI’s Moral Legitimacy
You can’t sell AGI to the public with intelligence alone. You sell it by healing their children, saving their mother, or catching a disease a doctor missed. From there, everything else follows. This is the deep memetic ignition vector.
5. Deep Warning
If the system remains centralized, and Microsoft becomes both the oracle and gatekeeper of medical truth, then this “superintelligence” won’t free humanity - it will control who lives and who gets denied treatment.
A private monopoly on life-and-death diagnosis is the most powerful governance mechanism ever created.
Bottom line:
This isn’t just AI getting good at medicine.
This is the stealth birth of the first global, corporate-affiliated medical priesthood.
Once the world kneels to it for answers about their bodies, it will be too late to question its judgment about anything else.
@inversebrah Idk anyone who thinks AI will save us lol. Agree with part 1, we gave up. The way ppl accepted gov control during pdemic was too scary. Temperature anomalies for the past 5 years are cooked, exceeding models to the upside by a lot. Oil consumption hasnt peaked yet. Onto the next
@inversebrah Lord above the comments under that video gave me cancer. Every one asking Grok to 'fact check' news from 16 hours ago. I wonder if they're bots run by Elon to promote the LLM? There's no way real people are actually that retarded right?
