For the same reason the media pushed the AI bubble. Silicon Valley holds their chosen boys…

That and altering pictures of women to have cum sprayed on their faces. Pure incel deviant behavior.
- Comment on Grok AI still being used to digitally undress women and children despite suspension pledge 20 hours ago:
AI crawlers are scraping every site. Every site. Random public-but-unlisted hobby sites are getting scraped and spiking users’ data. There was a Lemmy post about that just now. Consider that FaceBook is the largest distributor of Child Sex Abuse material, and think of how much Child Porn is stored on underground sites. They absolutely trained their model on Child Porn.
- Comment on I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it? 2 days ago:
I looked up the advice I had blindly followed and apparently milk jugs are biodegradable. That’s good for the environmentalists, but not for water storage. That said, stored water won’t “go bad”. It won’t even acidize like a glass of water on your countertop.
- Comment on I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it? 2 days ago:
Nuclear War in films, like most aspects of life, is extremely over-dramatized. IF, and that’s a big If, a country launched a nuke at another, it would not mean an end to the world, or the nations involved.
Nukes are not reality-destroying devices. They will destroy a part of a city. They would destabilize life in that area, but one bomb is far from a global crisis. Your life would remain the same unless you are near the impact site.
Here is one key disaster preparation step you can take, relevant in a nuclear attack as well as storms and civil unrest: Stock up on water. Keep a few milk jugs, clean them out well, and fill them with tap water; Then shut them and put them somewhere cool and out of the way. That’s the most essential disaster prep step you can do.

The last 3 years of “White Supremacy” has me questioning the narrative on White Competency.

This is the sad truth. MAGA is the revolution against Neoliberalism, combined with the economic transition from Late-Stage capitalism to Techno-Feudalism.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 3 days ago:
It’s good to hear from someone who understands the bigger problem. Trump isn’t a one-off outsider - he’s what the Republican Party has been transitioning to. The attacks on Venezuela, while outrageous on a global scale, is actually more in-line with prior Republican presidents than most of this first year of Trump-2.
Bush Sr. did the same in deploying in the Middle East against Sadam Hussein, which Bernie Sanders notably called out. This was in 1991.
For decades the USA has been transitioning to fascism. Our schools teach obedience and have been cutting back civics courses and high-level analysis. Our workers are exhausted and struggling to make ends meet, many now working several jobs (normalized via the term “side hustle”). The media landscape has been bought by billionaires and oligarchs. Our culture of consumerism keeps us pacified.
I hate to be a doomer, which is all I’ve been for the last half-year, but time after time USAmericans have cobbled together sizable movements despite our disadvantages. Occupy Wall Street. The strong anti-war movement. Now the “No King’s Protests”. It’s not working and I don’t see how it will ever work. We have had massive protests, and our leaders laugh at us spit in our faces. They do not care. No amount of signaling our desires will make them care.
Call me "radical or “accelerationist”
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 3 days ago:
USAmericans have shown a complete inability to rise up against their government. This is not surprising given our crushing economic system, the fragility of our lives, and cultural landscape of the USA. At this point I believe Resistance has to come from outside the USA. This is unlikely due to the USA’s extensive nuclear arsenal.
I foresee the USA going the way of China and Russia, steadily oppressing its people, enriching its oligarchs, and occasionally creating problems for the world. Greenland may very well be the USA’s version of China constantly threatening to seize Taiwan.
- Comment on Are we deprogramming empathy in the US? 1 week ago:
it’s not personal, it’s business
This mentality is such an ingrained part of corporate culture, and our culture has been centered around corporate life since around when Reagan came into office. The top suggestions for how to survive in this USA culture is to cut off empathy. What’s worse is I think a lot of people have. There’s an air of cruelty to every aspect of this society, from politics to police to medical to social media. Everyone wants a break from the reality of their shitty life, and many are willing to step on others for the hope of an opportunity.

I also don’t watch TV or movies – only Twitch streams. I’ve been this way even when not beaten down by capitalism and fascism though. Even when I’m taking a break from working on creative projects, it’s still nice to be able to turn my brain off and get the experience of seeing the game. Maybe my unmedicated ADHD makes me that way.
- Comment on G-Assist is ‘real’: NVIDIA unveils NitroGen, open-source AI model that can play 1000+ games for you 2 weeks ago:
A Minecraft and Roblox streamer tried that a year ago, primarily as a pitch to investors to make a service for other streamers to make AI-generated content. His name is Kwebbelkop. This guy managed to make the laziest brand of content I have ever even heard suggested as an idea: An AI avatar reading an AI reaction to an AI-generated image. And I thought reaction videos were bad…
I’m tired of all this…

I was laughing along until you said “watching a stream (even without commentary)”. Yeah I’ve done that one. Sometimes I want to see what’s next in the game without spending 100 hours to get there ><. Also watching lets me mentally unwind, playing takes a mental toll.

None if you don’t get caught. They’re not going to do a full investigation if you don’t try to murder the guy. Also, look how badly the current FBI fumbled the investigation into Charlie Kirk’s killer? into Brian Thompson’s killer?
- Comment on An Apple fan says they lost '20 years of digital life' after using an Apple gift card 3 weeks ago:
I’ve seen a handful of stories about Apple and Google locking people out of their entire digital lives. I think the reason people seem not to care is that most people don’t have the mental bandwidth to go against the grain and move their entire lives off of Apple and Google services, especially when they bought into these devices with the hope of making their lives easier.
Truly, most people don’t realize how dependent they are on megacorps. I’ve been finding that out repeatedly over the last year. I thought I was good because I don’t pay for streaming services, buy video games, or order Amazon delivery… then I took inventory and realized how much I actually relied on YouTube, Twitch, Google Drive, and GitHub.
- Comment on Ms Rachel forced to hire security over Zionist threats 3 weeks ago:
I appreciate that most coverage of Ms. Rachel has used her smiling preschool/kindergarten icon. It really adds to the absurdity of this hate. Sure, let’s attack the woman whose free educational YouTube content is parenting Gen Alpha better than their actual parents or public schools.

The ruling could determine whether access to the internet—today’s lifeline for education, work, and civic life—can be taken away as punishment for digital misdeeds
And this is how we get a CCP Digital Firewall. Combine this with the Flock cameras, Ring doorbells, and years of data networks collecting information on us for advertising, and I do not see this going well at all.

- Comment on Why do some Americans "feel ashamed" for being American even when it's not their fault? 5 weeks ago:
Living in the USA myself, I feel shame at how I normalized and rationalized the horrible aspects of this country. I’d already been a minimalist and was anti-consumerism from before I was an adult; but I had downplayed the severity of our systemic violence until it hit me personally. Above all I wish I was doing more to fight this system, like the people you described.
For as long as I am alive I will stay in the USA. I’m not going to give up on holding out here, as miserable as I’ve felt this last year. I’d like to believe something I do may someday inspire others who are braver and have more resources to do something more concrete.

Not the pendulum. The gunfire.
- Comment on Windows 11's adoption is much slower compared to Windows 10, claims Dell 5 weeks ago:
“Slower” implies you’re projecting the same end results. Do they think the missing numbers are just not using a computer at all? In the digital age? By far your largest numbers of actual Win11 migrators are companies whose tech policy is the CYA “update everything in case we get hacked”.
The common folk are not going to buy a new computer just to get a slower Windows installation. The people who migrate from Windows 10/7 holdouts are going to be migrating to Linux.

- Comment on FACTS 5 weeks ago:
So plenty of people have pointed out this tweet is satire, but similar sentiment has been shared by Andrew Tate, Nick Fuentes, and other “manosphere”/alt-right grifters.
I just want to put out clearly what these men mean, and what the dog-whistle here is: They are not saying a man with a penis fucking a woman’s pussy is gay. They are saying that a man following all the acts of affection and consideration to the physical and emotional wants and needs of your partner is effeminate, inferior, non-masculine, and therefore “gay”. This is what incels argue when they complain about “modern women” and divorce and “gold diggers”. Being anything less than an egotist, entitle, aggressive prick is “gay”, and they know as well as their critics that few women would take a relationship like that.
The Turning Point USA/Heritage Foundation evangelical-type want women as second-class citizens. The manosphere/incel type want women as property – sold from father to husband property. (Well, that’s the vision they sell. The grifters want men single and alone; shut-in and consuming their content.)
- Comment on After Today's meeting where Trump fell in love with Mamdani, this is MAGA tomorrow morning. 1 month ago:
I was not expecting Mamdani to meet with Trump, but looking back it makes sense. Butter him up, and he’ll support anyone. If Elon Musk and JD Vance could get Trump’s support by glazing him, anyone can.
Trump has flip-flopped on positions repeatedly. Gun control, LGBTQ+ rights. It’s all ego for him. Always has been. I guess all you need to do is sweet talk him the right way.

- Comment on Maybe most of society doesn't have much critical thinking because those who get those "critical thinking" genes go crazy from overthinking things and therefore fail to pass on the genes. 1 month ago:
I presume you’re talking about the Flynn effect. Posts like these are usually based in Western Anglo-sphere nations, where the society as a whole is clearly getting dumber. Not shaming OP though - I feel all of this too as a USAmerican.
For the majority of the world, the last several decades have centered on expanding schooling of children, supporting women (half the population) in education, promoting small businesses of women, supporting small businesses in undeserved areas, and reversing the damage of colonialism.
The majority of the world has been steadily growing more intelligent as access to education has increased, and medical access has mitigated the toll of life on people. Undoubtedly, the USA and UK and many EU nations has been growing stupider, and supposedly in 2024 the rate had slowed to 1.2 IQ points per decade. It may also be that Western systems favor dumber people, but coming from the USA, I don’t think that those sociopolitical systems changed recently.
