Actually, I’m prejudiced against motorists.

I say it’s always the driver’s fault.

The role of the doomer is to declare that, actually, AGI is juuust around the corner. And it’s scary! They’re doing the same hype as the boosters are, just from a different angle. It’s all the same crap, though.

But, yeah, realistically they’re going to put a chatbot in charge of something important and it’s going to fail and the bubble will pop.

Hopefully it’s something small and not the nuclear arsenal, but uh, these cultists really want to put chatbots in charge of the nukes.

He got 49.9% of the popular vote.

Actually, it’s your fault for not volunteering all your time to Harris or donating all your money to her campaign.

You’re only ashamed now?

AI boosters and doomers fundamentally believe the same thing.

They collectively agree that AI will be Great and Awesome, in the old sense of the words. In their minds they are building God and so it can bring about either utopia or dystopia, because it is so Great and Awesome that all hitherto history will cease to matter and the godmachine will recreate the world in its image.

They’ll be called socialists no matter what they call themselves. Might as well embrace it.

Cool anecdote.

I suspect those are a smokescreen for deeper problems.

Chatbots don’t really reduce the need for staff, but they’re a great excuse.

Beijing is right to see exporting AI hardware and models as leverage. Each Nvidia chip sent abroad is a new point on the board for American software and values. Every U.S.-branded LLM shapes AI norms globally.

Who was it that said you need read business press if you want to know what’s really going on in the world?

This just gives the game away. Imperialism is invisible in the rest of the media, but wsj just come out and say it.

I suspect people like this will just kinda believe anything if it’s flattering enough.

That’s also very obviously not terrorism.

The government wouldn’t crack down if they didn’t have to. They’d just ignore it.

That should tell you that they are doing something right.

They’re locusts. They don’t think about anything past the next fiscal quarter.

Jews can become Palestinian and live side-by-side with Palestinian Muslims and Christians, this isn’t a genocidal statement.

They can keep the parts of their culture that aren’t based on settlement, white supremacy, eradication, or colonization. But they have a rotten society and Israel as a country was founded on rotten ideas and it has only rotted further. It’s gotta go.

This wouldn’t be a instant or simple process, but it can be compared to Nazi Germany: being occupied and having their government dismantled and undergoing denazification wasn’t genocide, even though Nazi Germany ceased to exist. The same can be done to Zionist Israel.

I, for one, think marching Israelis through Gaza and forcing them to see their crimes in person would change a lot of hearts and minds. Make them smell th blood and shit and rot. Then reeducation to deprogram them from their genocidal settler beliefs.

The colonial situation dehumanizes the colonized and the colonizer, but this process can be reversed.

… Or they can go back to fucking Europe.

Democrats were fully willing to help Israel annex Gaza and ethnically cleanse the strip, despite the rhetoric. They’d have done it a different way (maybe) but the end result is the same.

But with Trump, those same Democrats have been forced to come out against it! Partisanship is making long-time Israel supporters rethink their support for the genocide, and now they’re speaking up.

But don’t be fooled - this is only partisanship. The genocide was bipartisan before Trump, but he has a way of actually sharpening the contradictions and forcing liberals to stand for something.

I’ll still vote for Democrats that come out against the genocide, but that’s my red line.

We’re all complicit.

Again, showing you’re totally OK with genocide so long as it’s a people you don’t personally like. Got it.

This kind of false equivalence is a form of genocide denial.

Israelis being Nazis mean they get treated like Nazi Germany.

Yeah, and the US is #1 with 43% of all arms sales.

Israel could not arm itself without the US. If they were forced to rely on domestic production they’d run out of bombs, and they have admitted this.

Israel is the USs dog and Biden could stop them whenever he wanted. He didn’t because he was an active collaborator in their genocide.

Echo chamber.
