First of all no you didn't code anything you had a AI crap out a cookie cutter game.

And fucking nfts? Are we going to bring back that tax dodge? Because that's what those were going to be until the IRS said no, you couldn't use the art loophole anymore and you certainly couldn't use it on nfts.

I cannot go a single day without this God forsaken world reminding me that the entirety of human civilization is collapsing. At least not without turning off the internet and any other media device.

To anything not protected by HIPAA is nuts to me.

That data could easily be handed to the police and they could use it to tie you to a crime. You're then going to have to spend tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars fighting them off while a prosecutor tries to get a notch in his belt for his upcoming political run.

Every year crime goes down but every year we put more cops on the street and give prosecutors more money.

Voters expect results but if crime is going to keep going down the only way to get those results is to start locking up innocent people.

I'm sure they will start with minorities but well, they are a minorities by definition that won't be enough so they're going to start harassing The general public.

You can already see it with DUI stops where cops are pulling people over who are perfectly sober but the way the laws are written you're guilty until proven innocent.

Per the article the only difference is that China is being a little more honest about it

Took me 60 seconds to find that. I hope you're not part of America's cybersecurity infrastructure...

The masses are not unorganized. Billionaires are organizing them at the county level in order to undermine and destroy democracy. That was the entire central point of my post.

At least you didn't copy one of my old posts with your stupid llm chatbot this time I'll give you that.

America has tons of defense contractors doing this. Before January they used to try and protect us from the Russians. Used to.

The news media is completely controlled by billionaires. During the 2024 election I watched multiple editors and journalists dog walked for beginning the criticize Trump in any way.

It got so bad that a new term was invented to describe it, sane washing. It's the practice of taking absolutely crazy right wing lunatics and constantly hiding their insanity and evil.

Stephen Colbert just got fired so that Paramount can get their merger approved by trump. That is textbook fascism. The melding of corporate and government interests.

To replace trillions of dollars of white collar workers. 100 million is nothing for that.

I think one of the problems people have is that they don't understand the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire. It's easy to say well, it's about a billion dollars but the Gap is so much larger than folks realize. The difference in power and the difference in access to power having a billion dollars or more gets you is astonishing.

When it comes to AI whoever gets in on the ground floor gets to control it permanently because the Internet is going to be a one-time Bonanza of model training data that eventually gets locked down or covered in slop.

So AI is capital. It's something you own and something you draw power and wealth from. Specifically the model data is going to be the valuable thing and whoever controls that is going to be a multi-trillionaire.

None of this is good for us but hey, how about those trans girls in sports? Distracted yet? You are already fuming I bet just because I mentioned it. You've completely forgotten about everything else I wrote didn't you?

I mean I'm still posting here aren't i?

Anyway did your account get hacked or something? What part of my post is championing oppressive bullshit?

Or you just call anything you don't like oppressive bullshit? How very libertarian of you. What's next, needing a license to make toast in your toaster?

This is a multi-billion dollar corporation with congressman on speed dial. This is basically setting up the justice department to go after the botnet directly. Google is just filing the paperwork to legitimize everything.

Trump is obviously senile. He doesn't understand anything except the hamburgers that get put in front of him periodically.

Our country is run by the heritage foundation not by Donald Trump.

Because it means the American empire, which is propped up by the dollar, will have gone down the drain completely and we will still have the ridiculous military and we will use it.

Failing empires will inevitably invade other countries and loot them in order to fill their coffers. And we have a growing Christian nationalist movement and things we are literally protected by God so the threat of nuclear annihilation isn't going to be a deterrent. Jesus will just swap those pesky icbms away.

What the hell are you talking about? If my net worth is $100 million and it drops by 90% I'm still filthy stinking rich and will never have to work again unless I blow through the money on extravagant spending.

And those numbers get a hell of a lot worse when you take into account billionaires.

This is before we talk about nepo babies and contacts and networking that you get to do when you're a member of the ruling class. The ruling elite have class solidarity while anyone that really works for a living does not. They take care of each other. We eat each other alive at the slightest provocation.

I will never understand people that defend the ruling class. It is just the most bizarre thing to me. I can empathize with most things understanding the underlining emotions even if I don't feel them myself but that's one that is completely alien to me.

And telling people they can unionize if they want is like telling Jews in Auschwitz they can go find another job. The people running the camp might have something to say about that...

Again I will never understand why people pretend we don't have a ruling class after they've been told and shown that we do. I get the people who never encounter that information, it's not exactly talked about, but I don't get the people that have the information and just pretend it isn't there.

Just a reminder that the steam machine won in the end.

I'm assuming it's cope. We all know the AI apocalypse is coming for our jobs and our livelihoods and in turn all of our property as we mortgage it off to survive but well, nobody has a solution that anyone is willing to accept. The idea of giving people food and shelter without inflicting pain is just not something we as a species are capable of. At least not at the moment.

To address the specific points in this post the reason CGI took over is because it's cheaper, and the reason it's cheaper is that the CGI guys don't have a good union or frankly any Union at all. Hollywood went all in on CGI not because it was the right thing to do but because it broke the special effects unions.

The thing is there were still plenty of jobs they just paid less. What's happening with AI is that they're just isn't any jobs.

We are going to be left with two classes of people, people who need to work and people who don't need the work because there is absolutely nothing useful they can do for society. Like it or not not everybody can be a plumber.

I'm sure they won't be any problems though with tens of millions of people who are permanently unemployable. Certainly that didn't happen shortly before world war I and I I.

The important thing is that we never actually learn anything from history. And that we continue to function like crabs in a bucket while billionaires going on trillionaires occasionally reach into the bucket to devour one of us.

Who knows maybe you won't be one of the crabs that gets devoured. But man they're getting hungry. I mean a trillion dollars of crab meat is a lot.

My stars and garters! Fetch me my fainting goats!

Every now and then nerds will realize that their computer is kind of suck because we don't enforce antitrust law but we always go back to sleep.
