frank, appearing with ronald reagan’s face: “burn it to the ground”

I can’t believe that the stunning publicity model of “AI IS GOING TO MAKE YOU ALL JOBLESS AND HOMELESS, PEASANTS” has worked out so poorly for tech billionaires hoping that it would result in worldwide seamless adoption of AI junkware. A whole mystery really.

People in rural areas famously don’t want healthcare, good paying jobs, or a healthy environment

really just need elites to fear the sword of Damocles hanging aloft for them, again. it’s really obvious they don’t

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.

We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

WHATS UP YOU WET MOTHERFUCKERS

Hey seriously, literally in the bills it says they'll also use identifying information, such as your age data for "other purposes". That means your data goes into a government surveillance database. This would be for ANY *OS*, which is the thing your fucking PC runs off of.

Call your reps NOW.

Also “other” should be in quotes, bc a lot of AI discussion seem to imply intelligence means being alive.

They cannot perceive the world around them, or you. You know what can do that? Pretty much all animals. Even plants. They lack a theory of mind, which many animals possess to a lesser or greater degree.

From an intelligence perspective, they’re incredibly uninteresting and unremarkable.

I agree but regardless, my question at the end of the day is: ultimately, who cares?

AI/LLMs as constructed, even if you claim they’re “intelligent” do not have an intelligence of any great worth. They are fundamentally isolated from sensory experience and context that other living beings are not.

the government dropped $85 billion dollars just on a war started by one singular man for dubious reasons, don‘t tell me the government can’t afford to do good things like healthcare instead

Maine passes first-in-nation freeze on big data centers The Maine legislature passed the first state ban in the nation on the development of large data centers on Tuesday.  The temporary measure, which lasts for 1.5 years, restricts the constructio…

12 more states have bills to ban new data centers but Maine passed theirs first. The future is absolutely up for grabs.

AI star symbol.

It's funny (not funny) how this ubiquitous symbol screams 'beware, incoming trash!' I have an instant reaction of revulsion whenever it pops up.

every prominent Democrat in a position of power and influence has the backbone of wet papier-mache. none of them are coming to “save” us

The fact that Democrats seem to have largely stopped talking about ICE the second their profile dropped even a little is maddening.

Meanwhile, they're all full of shit because all western economists do is defend the existence of capitalism.

And, capitalism is the pain the rest of us are experiencing.

if you would like to contribute to the “hana buys an ichiro retirement jersey for her birthday” fund it would make me smile very bigly <3

honestly, it’s one of the reasons I’ve actually laid off of criticizing him. So much of what’s been said is such abject bad faith that even good faith criticism feels like piling on at this point.

can’t believe they’ve made a commie lay off their favorite pastime: getting annoyed at other lefties

the world’s smoothest man

pretty much agree. even if I often disagree with him and think he can say kinda dumb shit (and most of us would if we were streaming 24/7 tbh), there’s a through line of a coherent ideology. but that’s not what people attacking him in the media want to engage with, obviously

Honestly, yeah, “hasan crashes out over criticism from someone to his left” is a lot more fertile ground to till but that’d require the people criticizing him to take the left seriously… and they don’t. so this is all they’ve got otherwise.
