I’m sounding like a broken record even to myself, but again: until there are consequences for actions like these (and there will be none), they will continue and escalate. I think US is way past the possibility of legal consequences, so the only way is people banding together and providing consequences on their own. Sadly, I don’t see that happening either…

An actual question, not a rhetorical one: has anyone from this US Gestapo force ever faced ANY consequences for their countless “mistakes”? Because if not, there’s zero motivation to improve, and “mistakes” will continue…

That’s what you get when you brainwash the population from a very early age to think of themselves as God’s chosen, and to consider all their neighbors and everyone who disagrees with the God’s chosen to be subhuman bloodthirsty barbarians with no redeeming qualities…

Even if we started right this very moment (not that anyone will, mind you), it would take years, perhaps generations of intense deprogramming effort to fix it, which makes me extremely sad :(

Just 100%? Why not 400% or 9999999%? Hell, invent a new order of magnitude, call it Trumpillion and impose a Trumpillion percent tarriff, that’ll show’em how strong you are and will distract them from the Epstein files!

That’s because the author seems to be a journalism vegan, writing vegan and self-awareness vegan.

I would genuinely have more trust in a politician consulting I Ching than ChatGPT - at least the book of changes requires some thinking and interpretation, fucking hell…

Sigh, all the tech-bros that convinced the general public that AI are in any way intelligent or that they can think, reason or understand concepts like truth/lies or right/wrong should go on trial for crimes against humanity…

Sadistic fucking psychopaths. I literally can’t wrap my head around this level of cruelty. How can you even live with yourself, fucking hell, how do you sleep at night after doing something like this? I can’t fathom hating anyone bad enough to actually enjoy watching them suffer like that, it’s just… I don’t even have words to express how disgusting and sad this whole situation is…

They are never going to give up. Ever. Not until the techbros who bribe them to sell more surveillance tech die out, but it’s going to be too late then. Nothing makes these assholes more excited than creating a techno-feudal dystopia.

Come on UK, just skip all the boring parts and make unremovable collars for everyone fitted with GPS, cameras and miniature bombs that can be remotely detonated. After all, that’s the only way to make sure nobody is doing bad, very bad illegal stuff and to PROTECT THE CHILDREN, isn’t it? Fucking hell, these fucks really are trying to create a bloody dystopia…

I need to read more about this, thanks! I’m not even in the US or from it, so it’s not like I’ll ever actually discuss it with anyone, but I’m just fascinated by the whole MAGA phenomenon, in pay because other, hopefully less brain-washy right wing movements are popping up all over the world…

And yet again I ask myself: how do you deprogram a person brainwashed into tribalism and cultism so deeply that they will actively defend a pedophile as long as he is from their tribe (or is a leader of their cult)…

It’s so goddamned hard to feel compassion for people like that, but I try, I just seriously don’t know if anything except pharmacological intervention can help at this stage… :(

Brilliant lecture, and it points out the reasons for fundamental differences in morality, but apart from calling things by different names (vide Alligator Auschwitz in this very post), which is a great succession, it doesn’t give me much actionable advice.

Still fascinating though - them you so much for posting it here! I want to listen to/read more things by him now!

Sure, that’s definitely an option that would be healthier/easier for me personally, but can you really disengage when people in government build concentration camps and secret police force? I’m not even American or in America and it’s just overwhelming…

One thing that really saddens me in all… this (gestures broadly at everything) is that I have no idea how to deal with people with no empathy, with people who think this is okay. I just really do not know what to say an how to say it.

I’ve been raised with empathy. I knew even before going to kindergarten that it’s more fun to share some of my toys with other kids because then we can all play together. I knew that doing nice things for others gives you that warm fuzzy feeling. I learned that helping people is GOOD.

And I just don’t know how to deal with people who have not. I don’t know how to deal with people who will put other people in cages just because they look vaguely Latino, without due process. I don’t know how to deal with people that cheer for that. I just don’t know. How the fuck do I, do we, deal with people who have no empathy whatsoever? Not a rhetorical question by the way, I hope someone can explain it to me like I’m overly sensitive empathetic five-year old…

Good - nobody needs billion-dollar startups. The line doesn’t have to co constantly go up forever. We don’t need to constantly improve productivity and do more for less. Fuck that and fuck this “debate”.

The problem is that this approach only works with people who are able to feel shame and/or care what the plebs thinks about them…

I said it before, and I’ll say it again - this is a scene from Idiocracy playing before our eyes, only the corporate morons were brainwashed into putting “AI is awesome!” in every sentence instead of “brought to you by Carl’s Junior”…

Brawndo AI - it has electrolytes!

Goddamned shameless ghoul, holy fucking shit. We’re really in full-on Idiocracy mode, only these morons feel like they have to mention AI in every single sentence instead of Carl’s Jr…

Amen to that: I want to play games made by people who like games, by people who play games, and by people who want to make games. Not by MBA suits who like money and just want to make more money…

Sadly, I believe nothing will happen until a bunch of masked thugs in unmarked vehicles kidnaps, say, very Mexican illegal sounding Rafael Cruz and trafficks him to, say, Burkina Faso, because country of origin or nationality doesn’t even matter anymore…

And even then the message would probably not get through, and would be waved off with “but that’s different!” :(
