...that said, I'd be happiest if, once this gambit backfires on the GOP and after Trump is gone, we try to cut a deal with Republicans to just do bipartisan redistricting commissions. We have enough to fight about, this shit is just pointless.
In a vacuum, I would oppose this because I believe in fair representation. But since Trump started this unilateral disarment is not an option.
Yep. On the one hand: You aren't obscenely wealthy. On the other hand: You're not a monster! I personally think you have the better end of that bargain.
Silicon Valley oligarchs ate what happens to kids whose parents don't hug them. So hug your kids.
No, that actually explains everything about how these guys think.
For karma's sake I hope a Somali was behind this.
Trump could literally nuke the New York Stock Exchange tomorrow and markets would still be green (and not just from radiation).
How can Democrats win back the Epstein client demographic?
Where are the letters of no confidence.
The only way AI 'knows' this is by evaluating and summarizing stuff others have written. It's literally insane to make any decisions based on what it says.
They're turning the Pervert Glasses into Gestapo Glasses.
Remember when Trump said he got North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons then... Just let them keep their nukes?
Yep. This shit sucks and I don't want it anywhere near me.
They’re calling them giant pervert glasses for nerds who love jacking off, and no, no one is buying them. Will they still change the world?
I've never seen an FBI director have nonstop dirt leaked on him. Everyone must truly hate him 😂😂😂
Oh good God please don't make me think legalizing weed was a mistake.
Along with tearing down the ballroom this needs to be a litmus test.
Palantir delenda est.
Yep. When people had to physically go to a casino or call a bookie to place a bet, that was fine. But the apps have gone way too far. It's ruining sports and creating a generation of gambling addicts. Ban them all.
What deal.
The fact that these freaks don't even think they need to generate positive PR anymore means either:
a.) They have successfully freed themselves from all mechanisms of accountability.
b.) Engaged in the greatest hubris of all time.
Big Tech has always been evil, but they used to be evil in the standard capitalist way: That is, they used altruistic promises to make your life better to hide their own greed and lust for power.
Now they're just like: 'We will rule over you serfs and what the fuck do you want to do about it?'
Palantir: 'We will use technology to enslave humanity into a cycle of perpetual warfare and destruction.'
Tech Optimists: 'Why can't you just give AI a chance?'
LMAO the Dow is almost green. Markets are stupid as fuck it's incredible.
1.) I think Krugman is right about this.
2.) Markets will still be in the green by the end of the day because LOL nothing matters.
It was extremely unpleasant even before Musk bought it.
This is what Big Tech does now: It creates problems we didn't have before then charges money to fix them. It is an evil industry that deserves to be nuked from orbit.
We're torching the climate for this:
'Meeting platform Zoom has announced a partnership with World, Sam Altman’s human ID verification company, to ensure that the people attending meetings are actually human and not AI-generated imposters.'

Friday: "trump says Iran deal in a day or two"
Two days later: Iran says no to further talks
Maybe just maybe it's time for reporters to stop blasting their latest phone chat with trump across the media ecosystem without facts, context AND without a transcript of the call.
So when they come to me with magical promises about the future AI will bring me, I am not merely skeptical but HOSTILE in the most extreme measure you can imagine. I don't want AI regulated I want it destroyed.
Also I used to be a tech optimist. Then I saw how social media has revived ethnonationalism, burned through energy to create fake internet money, and created a generation of sports gambling addicts. They have made society WORSE for the past decade.
