A charitable view of Gun Nut Americans is they are like circus elephants trained since birth. They have the manpower to turn against their masters successfully, but they are not conscious of this. They tiptoe around and are terrorized by the crack of a tiny whip.
A non-charitable view is that they are just cowardly larpers. They know they can do something, but won't, and continue to pay taxes obediently and watch the Epstein class do their thing.
@MezzoHS@Pirat_Nation the factions mode in the og tlou actually did really well and still has an active player base to this day. i’ve probably spent close to a thousand hours playing it. i’m sure this would’ve at least done well enough to justify the production budget and a few years of support
When I was in my 20s I wished to deepen my understanding of the Israel-Palestine situation. So I purchased at least a dozen books - mostly semi-obscure, academic, many by dissenting Israeli historians.
A day came when I closed a book halfway through, resolved to read no further, even to try to forget all I had learned, and then I donated all the books. It was clear, painfully and miserably clear, that I would be wasting my life trying to understand it more when it was nothing more than this.
A different perspective on AI and jobs — Alberta Tech's blunt take
"Nobody’s replacing your job with AI just to wheel you around like a pampered princess in WALL-E.
If AI takes everything, you’re not getting free hover chairs. You’re out on the street doing the one manual job a robot kept screwing up — like pushing grocery carts back because the bot kept denting cars and insurance was cheaper with a human."
She argues the "zero jobs" scenario is unlikely — but if it happens, society won’t restructure to benefit most people. You’d face poverty, not utopia.
0:56 clip inside — her raw, funny, realistic opinion.
There's no two party system in America. No Democratic party versus Republican party. It is one fascist oligarchy that used a pretense of two party system to make people believe they had a choice. That was an illusion, and so is the belief that America is a democratic nation.
This is what GenAI is going to bring you.
-First they phase out consumer access to local compute by pricing you out and forced scarcity.
-Then you have to pay for all processing power to them for working, game/video cloud streaming, they want it to be your only option.
-Then they will charge you, by month, by hour, then by minute.
-Then they will monitor it all and censor it as they please, like Sony wants to do with PlayStation.
-Their Terms of Service will dictate it all and without the power of choice, they won't care how you feel about it.
Full control
Everything As A Service
Surveillance and charging you by the minute for it.
It all will stem from GenAI and data centers, the Trojan horse.
Don't normalize it, don't let it in the gates.
Resist.
This whole fucking planet is a joke and im so over it. Why can’t we care about the birds and the trees and eachother? What is happening and how do we stop it 😭
