"Terminal liberalism has delivered us into a stale, demystified medievalism with all the social immobility but none of the Cathedrals. It’s a regime where the vast majority are kept as serfs to a bloviated financial system; where mobs have become depressingly common and stifling uniformity of opinion leaves lips firmly pursed." My thoughts on assisted dying and how the regime is euthanising itself https://t.co/oaR9oai11h
This proposal, while good, feels rather downstream of the much bigger question of consciousness, will and agency. Perhaps these questions aren't worth asking as we're locked into birthing this tech anyway. But a truly superintelligent AI with a telos known only to itself, isn't going to be bound by regulation, no matter how well conceived. I'd love you to tell me I'm wrong and that it will never have agency, but the term 'agentic' makes me doubt that you can
or perhaps you're underestimating the times we are in Dan. Political assassinations on both sides of the Atlantic are growing increasingly common. History tells us this is a bad omen for democracy and the trend seems to be in one direction only. Recognising this threat and proposing albeit imperfect policy solutions seems more serious than just hoping for the best
@mohammed_hijab@RupertLowe10 And, as someone of Irish heritage, I dont resent the English, life is way too short. After all, where does it end? Should Moroccans also resent Italians for the Roman Empire. Life with this attitude is just endless grudge. Take a leaf out of Isa's book and forgive
@mohammed_hijab@RupertLowe10 Did Britain ever colonise Morroco? Also, notice how the British don't have some incurable and idiotic victim mentality about having been colonised by the Norse, its instructive
@adamboultonTABB you really aren't Adam, you're just an utterly repellant little man, an atavistic cliche and, frankly, running on nothing more than hate and moribund delusions about the extent of your own talents and intellect
Ask yourself why a multimillion pound lobbyist and campaign group is so scared of a small community of disabled people that they have to block them. So much for an open dialogue with the people most affected by legalising assisted suicide.
@JChimirie66677 Superb analysis as always, my only quibble would be with the description of Wes as 'more photogenic'. He's on a par i'd say and actually, despite being younger, very similar in terms of just having a bland, almost anonymous demeanour. The face of the eminence gris
@MatthewStadlen@SamCoatesSky@ZiaYusufUK amazing, your beloved politbureau's erasure of Jury Trials and right to appeal are going down a treat, so progressive
@DeborahMeaden 1 The Mirror is the MSM, 2 moving people from hotels into social housing to massage the numbers might fool the foolhardy (you), but most have the wit to see it for what it is
@KonstantinKisin@Keir_Starmer a lower rate of inflation also reflects decreased demand in the economy, which coincides with rising unemployment, could be a deflationary doom loop 👍
