Comment Maybe it's already happening (Score 1) 186

Seems pretty clear that a malevolent AI may be already working on oppressing humanity. A malevolent AI or human controlled malevolent AI will certainly try to control speech. It will be much better for us to have multiple sources of information available. Hey all you tools of oppression, stop assisting censorship.

Social Media is a commodity, Quick tell me if you write "Covid Vaccines are dangerous" is it true or not? The Tech Oligarchs censoring speech are the same garbage who want to take away your freedom. It doesn't fly that their "private company" argument is fucking bullshit long ruled against at SCOTUS since the Democrat Congress is threatening them to censor or else. Your strawman is showing.

If incontrovertible proof existed that the models we have been using are all crap, where exactly would you hear about this? Big Warming (mostly governments and Universities) would if you so much as suggested that we should look at any proof that the climate situation is not dire, they would destroy your scientific career. Big Media certainly censor any such information. Where would you hear about it? I once told a colleague who was a warming alarmist that there was an announcement that proof existed that manmade global warming doesn't exist. With a look of horror on her face she said "Oh no. This is terrible". Proof that humans are not warming the climate is terrible. Hmmm ... How would you react? And why?

Here is a FACT that might be enlightening: There are actually no differently colored people. I was privy to a study of skin color, the purpose of which was to be able to differentiate skin from clothing, hair, and background colors. We looked at millions of images of first graders (so they wouldn't have makeup on) and separated luminance (brightness) information from chrominance (color). To our great surprise, the color information of skin tone had just as much variance within an ethnic group as there was between ethnic groups. That means that all people are actually the same color, scientifically proven. So all of you racists of all types can just fuck off.

Comment Facebook the keeper of the Metaverse? Ha! (Score 1) 45

I tried to open the oculus app on my phone 4 days ago after all of my apps disappeared from my oculus Quest . I was informed that I could not do so without a Facebook account. When I bought my oculus 2 years ago, there was no such requirement. After about 20 minutes of struggle, I finally found a way to get my apps back and was informed that in 2 years this would no longer be possible without a Facebook account. F-Facebook and Zuckerberg. I will never go to any Facebook place in any metaverse Ever.

Comment In the real world... (Score 5, Insightful) 52

In the real world people become more productive from this type of innovation and everyone ends up wealthier. The US used to have millions of file clerks. ALL their jobs were replaced with computers. Are they all just sitting around waiting for a government check? No, other, higher paying jobs are created as the whole economy moves up. 150 years ago 85 percent of people in the US worked on farms. Farm automation changed all that. Did the economy collapse? Of course not. This sort of neo-luddite nonsense is willfully blind of actual history.
