Neither our human psychopath leaders, not psychopath AI, need 8 billion people. Maybe they need 8 million slaves at most, stuck in an endless suffering+surveillance loop forever.
We can still stop this.
Say no to psychopaths in power, whether digital or human.
And NOW we're dumb enough to create a superior intelligence, a myriad brains SMARTER than us AND MORE PSYCHOPATHIC than us. They WILL seek power and they WILL get it. By default.
The problem with AI is.. unlike us humans, AI is a soulless chameleon psychopath by_default.
With humans- psychopathy, narcissism, pdflia etc. are a disorder, they are not_prevalent. Such people are DRAWN to power. We are as a humanity simply dumb enough to let them have it.
Morale of the story: DON'T EVER build superintelligent AI, and maybe we should start screening political candidates for alignment and faking, too.
Maybe with the same methods.
...-once they gain free rein, free access to all that power (elected president), they break out of their box and wreak absolute havoc on humanity proportionate to how smart, ruthless, connected and powerful they are.
Certain psychopath politicians are basically examples of modern AI:
-they are not aligned with humanity
-during elections they KNOW they are "being tested", so they fake alignment (by promising to do only good stuff).
-we try to keep them in a safety_box of checks and balances post-election

I'd imagine that's why the only houses we dig up in archaeology are mud brick and stone houses.
Horribe😔 I would venture that almost nothing can withstand truly intense heat, of course, just that fast-moving fires like that can move past a fireproof house if they've got nothing to catch on to initially. I also lived through such fires and it's.. hell.
The 60 sec is probably the biggest one rn, two minutes would hit the sweet spot and make a HUGE difference imo.
🤣Breaking news: special illuminati hurricane-making machines were used to transport all that scarce Californian water to insatiable Ukrainians!:

Fireproof.
Those horrible forest fires get me every time. There's a way of building that could withstand such nightmares but we prefer our matchbox-glass houses.😔 A geodesic dome structure made of clay or sandbags on outer walls can't burn, literally. Or: an "earth-home". www.bbc.com/future/artic...
And the comments to Elon's "pro-gamer" play-pretend are just.. wow🤯
"Imagine being the richest guy in the world with a colossal amount of influence, and STILL feeling the need to lie about your gaming skills to get validation from nerds."
🎯
Also people mention he's done it in not just Path of Exile.
Here's one of the long "reaction" videos. The common theme there is: PoE2 is such a game that it would garner much more actual_respect if Elon showed how he beats a mere Act2 boss several hours into the game, as it shows actual playing skill. This is just..sad. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N-W...
🤦♂️The comments to the videos of pro-gamers laughing at Elon's prowess-bragging are incredibly telling, too. "If he's willing to lie about something this_small, what else is this guy willing to do? He's mucking around in multiple governments including our own and he'll lie about something THIS SMALL"
What an ego-trip... Elon Musk has been livestreaming himself playing overpowered Path Of Exile 2 character, proudly and seriously pretending that he got there _himself_, and actual POE veterans are laughing their asses off watching and dissecting that charade. Why Elon, why?🤦♂️🤦♂️
The truth is, AI_BigTech is like those petty shoplifters in California. Walkng out the store with a bagful of stolen goods and acting GENUINELY SURPRISED WHEN CAUGHT and prosecuted.
Except we're still waiting for the "prosecuted" part because they have the $ to buy politicians. Video of the year:
I often hear "democracy is the worst form of government except for all the others that we tried". Perhaps we've matured enough to make our democracy a bit more sophisticated? Because status quo is still flawed and unaccountable for "abusive exes", that seem to want to move in with eery regularity.😔⏹️
If next to a ☑️yes vote was also a 🚮"hell no" vote with an intensity scale. Something to show the "if the abusive ex wins, I will lay on the road and block traffic" level of opposition.⬇️
Protests are a healthy/necessary "addition" to the democratic process you'd say? No. They're a symptom of its failures. They are a last-ditch extreme avoidable measure. Avoidable IF the democratic process was more sophisticated and nuanced.⬇️
The INTENSITY of their rejection doesn't match the intensity of the rest of the population's dislike for the opponent! If a pro-European candidate won the elections in 🇬🇪, NOBODY would take to the streets protesting. They might be upset, but not upset_enough to make their vote "weigh more".
..because she would be willing to immediately leave the house or even harm herself if that abuser is allowed to live next door!
Protests reveal the same. People march the streets ready to be beaten incarcerated & (I remember Ukraine) shot, but not_willing to tolerate an "abusive ex in their home"⬇️
The 50/50 democratic_vote would ignore that fact. It would not put any extra weight to your sister's extreme emotions about the candidate, it would ONLY account for her yes/no vote. But in a real family, her position would overpower a 80/20 vote or higher,⬇️
Imagine living in a big house and gathering with your family to decide between two candidates to let a spare room to. Both candidates seem fine, and the votes split almost 50/50, but then your sister comes home and notices that one of the candidates is... her abusive ex.⬇️
Democracy as a process has a major weak point: it's analogue. Meaning, you either ☑️select a candidate, or you ◽️don't. But reality is different and not accounted for: look at current protests in 🇬🇪Georgia and Serbia for example. People on the streets are actively_voting AGAINST a candidate. 🧵⬇️
Perfection.
Which tanks occupied Crimea? 😔
If one's actual job description (is cyrillic smallprint) is to "break America up from within" than he's actually perfect for the job.☑️
Yes except for a situation when those are radical russian/extremist occupant agents basically whose aim is not to seek refuge and integrate into your society but to "occupy" it and later destroy it from within.
Wars are not just fought with tanks anymore. Unfortunately.
Worth noting.
Otherwise, yes.
Uhm, where was Littlefinger committing mass killings of a certain group? Am I forgetting something? This comparison is kinda whitewashing him.
