WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS NINCOMPOOPERY?! A freshwater- and energy-scarce city state pushing for widespread civilian adoption of a technology that consumes outsize amounts of power and water to utilise stolen data and exploit disenfranchised humans while depressing cognitive thought!
He's not just defending AI energy use. He is smuggling in a whole anthropology where humans are basically inefficient meat computers that you have to pour food and years into before they become useful. And once you accept that, the next move is obvious. If people are just costly biological training runs, then burning mountains of electricity to build synthetic intelligence starts to feel not only equal, but superior, even if it negatively impacts actual humans.
That is the dystopian. It makes human development sound like a bug in the system, and it makes sacrificing human and creational flourishing for more computational power sound logical. To him, the grid gets strained, prices go up, ecosystems get hit, but hey, humans eat too, so what's the difference?
The difference is that humans aren't an inefficient line item. They're the point. If your worldview can look at a child growing into an adult and describe it as energy spent to train intelligence, you haven't said something profound. You've revealed a horrifically rotten worldview.
Bombing a sea of tents, people with no means of defence from who they've already taken everything. Israel is a generational evil, a colony of thieves driven by a lust for Palestinian blood. Its existence robs us all of our collective humanity
Not sure the magnitude of this is fully understood: Israel has wiped out 2,700 families in Gaza, leaving 6,000+ people as the sole survivors of entire bloodlines. This is the result of deliberate policy, pursued with full knowledge of its effects. This is not war. It is genocide.
i’m glad all these jewish politicians are showing their genocidal asses today. israel drops 15 hiroshima nukes on gaza but god forbid palestinians pick up a weapon. truly disgusting people who want palestinians to be annihilated without fighting back against their oppressors.
I hate this narrative that glibly says “tensions are rising.” The “tensions” are solely caused by a big country threatening & attacking a small country, its boats, and its people, in utter violation of int’l law. That’s not a problem of “tensions,” it’s a problem of imperialism.
UPDATED: the Cartography of Genocide platform shows atrocity by atrocity the way Israel destroyed of ALL aspects of Palestinian life in Gaza. We will keep monitoring. The genocide does not just end with ceasefire. It continues as long as conditions of life are not restored.
Performative bs paid for by the taxpayers. One C130 aircraft with the capacity of 2-3 trucks of aid, so that we can feel good and absolve ourselves from complicity. No attempts to enact political pressure to lift the siege, all while we continue to trade arms and fund this g-cide
