Hopefully this take isn’t considered anti-natalist, but I just have no idea how you can possibly have kids in America at this point as a leftist when it’s exactly what the most evil people on the planet desire. Even the simple act of abstaining at this point seems like a revolutionary one

Honestly can’t remember the last time I was actually happy, but Zohran winning tomorrow might change that. Tomorrow’s also my birthday, but fuck birthdays. I hate being told I’m appreciated one day of the year (as if what is an essentially a ritual devoid of any meaning should raise my spirits. Fuck

Even still, I’m done being hopeful. I’ve heard old heads say things lately that have nearly made me lose my composure. Such a dumb fucking game all of this is, trying to deprogram people who clearly want to be programmed

Swear to fucking god there will still be rabid anti-socialists when the sky is polluted by private delivery drones shipping anything from Amazon garbage to DoorDash meals all powered by ChatGPT or some bullshit. Seems to be the obvious step to quell impatient, highly atomized and propagandized consumerists

How fucked are those of us lucky enough to be born in the great Satan, realistically

The hard-hitting journalism that makes life worth it

Is it just me or has the AI fear mongering/alarmist bullshit been kicked into overdrive as of late? I am once again losing my sanity after a few days of tranquility

Good point tbh, super hard to separate the what from the chaff in academia, especially when you learn it’s like everything else in existence (multiple sides with one of those being ideologically libertarian)

I just worry that sometimes leftists resort to a sort of contrarianism when it comes to anything AI/tech. It’s definitely one of the trickiest domains to navigate imo, especially when you have authoritative sources pretending like a human-computer brain interface (whose performance is indistinguishable from a computer) is a foregone conclusion

I break down when I see/hear people repeating the same shit as a truth despite any evidence, because I always learned that was an example of a delusion. Seems like we’re dealing with a shade of that on a societal level

You won’t be able to convince me that this isn’t more theater bullshit from the former reality tv star

I think it’s good for quickly parsing and looking up text, but that’s about it

Interesting thing is, that’s not actually AI but increased compute allowing you to do more quicker

NBC is doing some consent manufacturing

Afraid he’s cooked. Prosecution got a gift

Noticing a really interesting phenomena online lately

“Rage bait”

Maybe I’m just getting old, but it used to be that if someone was being purposefully obtuse/obnoxious/incorrect, you’d dismiss them as a troll and move on. Much easier

The internet really is dying. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is engagement farming from bots. I need to meet people irl despite the fact that I don’t trust most people irl because more often than not, they’re hell

No we’re not lol

This AI shit is going to cause me to lose my sanity

Hell is now a never ending rabbit hole for impressionable minds

Really love this for humans! Instead of noticing the problematic effects of a powerful tool, we continue to double down and fully embrace the coercive nature of Silicon Valley

All I want is a joker moment on shark tank

The world would definitively be a marginally better place if it happened

My fatal flaw is incorrectly assuming that everyone has the (correct) take on advertising that I do.

Genuinely thought with the way people complain about advertising on their favorite sites/platforms, they’d stop fucking using them. Not a chance in hell

X fan here! Rooting for you bros tonight 🤓

How was I ever a redditor? The yearning to be desperately part of somthing even if it’s being on the sidelines is awfully sad.

Tbh I oscillate between “how fucking pathetic” and “damn, you poor hopelessly atomized soul. Why put so much mental energy into this bro you’re not getting shit once this is over”

I’ve see a lot of chatter about the “singularity” (i.e. brains meeting with computers a la neuralink) and questions of whether we will ever need our brains again.

This makes me cheer really fucking hard for climate change and natural disasters to humble humans into realizing that they cannot escape the inevitably of reality.

It also makes me want to go back and read simulacra and simulation and do more research in determining whether a computer-brain interface is even remotely possible or just another case of cs losers claiming to be doctors

It’s really too ominous for words, and I’m still trying to gather my thoughts on the matter in a way that makes sense. Right now, all I can think about is how technological fascists will use this as further justification for shoving it into everything. Feels like some true dark age shit

I strongly fear that he will get merked and it will be completely forgotten about because the propaganda will be too good. Remember when Trump said that migrants were eating cats and dogs on live tv and still won the election? Cooked is all I have to say. Headlines like this just reinforce our cooked nature
