  • It’s a modern day religion … it’s a faith based system

    It works and functions and is all powerful because enough people believe in it and hold all their faith in it … it’s faith and belief that make it work

    But it’s also the Achilles heel of the whole system … if enough people in the whole system stop believing in it … it all collapses in on itself and it is destroyed and evaporates instantly.



  • Because stupidity can be used as a mask for malice

    Plausible deniability … generally doing things and pretending that you have no knowledge or awareness of what happened so its not your fault and you have no responsibility

    It’s modern day politics and race baiting these days … you say one thing to be an absolute turd and when you get called on it all, you deny everything, redirect, and ignore everything … your malicious self keeps hiding behind the mask of stupidity to keep doing whatever it is you want to say or do all the time … then do it again and again until your behaviour is so normalized that it’s no longer seen as malicious or stupid … it’s just normal now.















  • I think the problem they keep having is in balancing the moral stability of the AI

    They want it to be socially minded enough to be nice but at the same time not allow people or even the AI to think about revolutionary ideas

    They want it to socially conservative but not to be so callous and arrogant to be completely outright fascist or authoritarian

    I think it’s the same predicament that all billionaires and owner class oligarchs face … they want to be supreme rulers but don’t want people to see them as surpreme rulers, they want to be unkind but not be seen as kind, they want to be powerful without being seen as powerful and they want to be controlling without being seen as controlling.

    In short, they all absolute dicks … and they spend the majority of their time and money trying to figure our more elaborate and complex ways to try to convince everyone, everywhere that they aren’t absolute dicks.


  • Another dumb US headline … these aren’t Trump headlines … these are American headlines

    This is just another example of how stupid, ignorant and complacent the American public is. What the fuck is the world coming to? Fascism is growing in the US, Israel is committing genocide and the world is just sitting on their hands and won’t do anything until WWIII breaks out … and by then, it will be too late to act any way.

    Democracy won’t end because the fascists broke down the door … it will end because the door was always wide open and people just stood by and let them all in and take control.


  • I remember reading about something that described this thought in a Star Wars fan site once. The stories that show human characters or human like characters everywhere, aren’t really human at all … they are more like place holders for exotic space alien beings that we can’t even imagine.

    I’d like to think that of Star Trek as well. The stories are just stories being shown for our convenience because the aliens they would encounter would be so strange and foreign to us that we wouldn’t be able to believe it, let alone understand it
