I’ve said this a few time on here, but I’m originally from spitting distance from her district, and based on my experience with so many other folks just like her; protecting children, specifically from conspiratorial trafficking and SA, is her number 1 priority, she’s usually really fucking bad at identifying ways to productively do so because she’s very poorly educated and indoctrinated, but if she has 100% confirmation Trump raped a child, which isn’t unlikely, she would almost certainly turn on him like it seems she has.

It’s very telling that the account you and I were arguing with hasn’t said shit in 5 days ain’t it.

Luckily it won’t just be China! WW3 on deck!

Best use of AI so far

I get emails and scam phone calls asking me to sell the last house my parents owned when I lived there, they sold that property 4 years ago

Why has this fact been trending lately, seen it in several other places this week

It’s definitely a major component of it

Elon needing to use an AI to engage in a creative activity is the perfect microcosm for the actual problem with how what they are calling “AI” is implemented. I don’t want to see a game made by AI, maybe using it for coding some of the underlying mechanisms but even those I think are made more interesting by a human solving a problem in an innovative way. Not only that I don’t want to see a movie, watch a tv show, read a book, or contemplate a piece of art created by AI in part or whole.

Those are all things I engage with because another human being with a different human experience created it themselves and in the process of creating they’ve actively engaged with their own perspective. The business goblins that are shoehorning it into everything seem to think that humans just want the end product of a work of art because that’s all dumb business goblins want and can conceive of. But if I wrote a book by giving an AI a prompt, I didn’t write that book at all, it barely even qualifies as a book

I want AI to do spreadsheets, automate scheduling coordination, cleaning, laundry, bills, taxes and all the other mind numbing tasks that come with our modern lives. They are doing it backwards

Sounds more like performance art/prank in the form of a video game, like something Andy Kauffman and Banksy would create together, but I’m still here for it

Serious question, best way to stop paying income taxes?

I think that if there are historians left to analyze this in 30 years they’ll probably drop the start line around the assassination of Charlie Kirk. There definitely are multiple different factions even within the conservative movement they haven’t completely turned on one another, the left is similarly at odds with itself.

When we see the White House calling on generals to be prepared to invade American cities with the military, judge’s houses are being burned down after giving verdicts disliked for political inconvenience, Chicago, Portland, LA, DC are all seeing extreme escalations in state sanctioned violence, states sending their national guard to other states to quell chaos that isn’t there, and mass shootings nearly everyday, sometimes several. To me that’s civil war that’s started heating up.

But if you’d rather call what were currently seeing and experiencing something like The Troubles in Ireland and wait until the conflict is even more overt feel free.

Add it to the list of shit we desperately need yesterday

Which is why all the factions are trying to get their agenda advanced as quickly as possible before he croaks. The techno-feudalist side had the advantage with their boy JD poised to take over but removing him is much more politcally viable for the Christian nationalists in congress

Thank you

That’s not how civil wars work anymore, it’ll be akin to a Balkanization where there are multiple different factions, upstart states, militias and insurgencies. The second will be nothing like the first. The Syrian civil war is a decent smaller scale modern example

Edit: if you’d like a good idea of what it will look like I HIGHLY recommend the fist season of the excellent podcast It Could Happen Here by Robert Evans. It’s from 2019 but wildly prescient

This is very much a situation where they sure as shit ain’t our allies but if ICE wants to make an enemy of the police I’m not gonna stop that mistake

We’re already in the first throes of the Second American Civil War, we just haven’t started calling it that yet

Edit: throws to throes because I’m a dumb southern hillbilly

He’s had a long week alright, just wants to have a drink and unwind

Sha Shaw!

No i meant superpowers arose as a natural mutation and not the result of a chemical compound. Not ideologically
