- Comment on Teachers warn AI is impacting students' critical thinking 3 days ago:
Exactly. Just the latest VC technological advancement to exacerbate existing problems. The lack of critical thinking is why the far right has room to breathe, let alone brainwash entire populations.
The sad part is that it’s likely all by design. Turn everyone into sheep then line them up for slaughter.
- Comment on Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot 1 week ago:
people tend to become dependent upon AI chatbots when their personal lives are lacking. In other words, the neediest people are developing the deepest parasocial relationship with AI
Preying on the vulnerable is a feature, not a bug.
- Comment on Anyone know how to unlock Others? 1 week ago:
Probably Israeli intelligence. Maybe the Saudis too.
- Comment on Sergey Brin: We need you working 60 hours a week so we can replace you as soon as possible 1 week ago:
Brilliant work is done in bursts. Grinding it out day after day is factory line work. While that work is noble, the way it’s conducted doesn’t apply across the board. Task-oriented jobs should trust workers to complete tasks, not punch a time clock.
It’s about control. Tech bro billionaires are the only geniuses on earth, and we all need to fall in line. Nevermind that they are literal fascists who are actively destroying the world.
It sounds like an exaggeration, but efforts to halt climate change have grinded to a halt; WW3 is becoming more likely on multiple fronts; and, the most immediate problem not being addressed, the cost of living crisis is drowning virtually everyone. The only response from the right is to squeeze regular people more and pass tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. There is no opposition.

And potential buyer.
- Comment on Judge rejects Musk's attempt to block OpenAI's for-profit transition 4 weeks ago:
Normally, I’d be against blocking a transition to for-profit, but if Fuhrer Edison is on the other side, it’s easy to assume bad things happen if he gets his way. He’s a cartoon villain at this point.

Edison defeats Tesla, et al.
- Comment on In the US, it's finally socially acceptable again to clap when the plane lands 5 weeks ago:
Standing ovation if you’re on a Boeing plane.
- Comment on Current chain of command 5 weeks ago:
Exactly. Vance is a Manchurian candidate for the fascists in Silicon Valley. He’s there to take over if need be or to run after Trump’s term is over. I doubt he has any actual agency.
- Comment on Israel Plans 1,000 New Settlement Homes as West Bank Raids Intensify | Common Dreams 1 month ago:
This was always the plan. All the attention on Gaza has given Israel cover to take the West Bank.
Trump will flood the information zone with bullshit plans for America to take over Gaza and turn it into a resort, and what’s happening in the West Bank will go unnoticed.
- Comment on Euclid reveals an Einstein ring around a nearby galaxy 1 month ago:
An Einstein ring is an example of strong gravitational lensing,” explained study lead Conor O’Riordan of the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Germany. “All strong lenses are special, because they’re so rare, and they’re incredibly useful scientifically. This one is particularly special because it’s so close to Earth and the alignment makes it very beautiful.”
I would never pretend I can even remotely wrap my head around this, but anything that helps us understand how gravity works seems like a scientific gold mine.
- Comment on Guillotine Deserts 1 month ago:
Billionaires don’t need just guillotines this time. Too quick and simple. There should be layers of humiliation before they see anything close to guillotines.
- Comment on The USA was always broken 1 month ago:
A system designed to balance the needs of the people with the excesses of the aristocracy ended up creating greater wealth inequality than pre-revolution France.
It’s hard to overstate how badly the American Experiment has gone off track for the last four plus decades. Destroying the education system paved the way for it all.
The first generation of Americans read newspapers that were written at what would now be a college reading level. Now the average American is so bombarded by misinformation and lacking in critical thinking that they’ll believe anything.

He also works 18 hours a day and sleeps on a cot in his office. That’s how you know his work is always flawless.
- Comment on It's just a Planck bro 1 month ago:
Planck died before he finished his Grower/Shower addendum to the scale.
- Comment on Meta AI can now use your Facebook and Instagram data to personalize its responses 2 months ago:
Of course Zuck is teaching his AI how to be a creepy stalker. Next, he’ll teach it to like girls’ years-old bathing suit pictures.
- Comment on What's the deal with male loneliness? 2 months ago:
Lack of socializing. We’ve lost the third place in modern society. It’s work and home and nothing else. Lots of people work from home now, which is great, but only if you have a third place. You have to meet people in the real world and find a way to connect with them.
People laugh, but churches are a good way to do that. Check one out, sit in the back, and watch the people who show up- the demographics, make sure the congregation is diverse, etc. If you see a same-sex couple walk in and sit down like they’ve done it a hundred times, you don’t have to worry about all the hate bullshit.
Church is a great way to meet people in a place where everyone feels safe and accepted. They are extremely welcoming to newcomers. There are always activities and groups to join. Churches have been the third place for literally centuries.
Even if you have irreconcilable philosophical differences, check out a Unitarian church.

“AI,” what should I do about being constipated?
Painfully stretch your rectum to gaping in order to accommodate your constipation.
