They're too busy chasing tax cuts and deregulation. They won't want to do anything until it's too late and they're being pushed out of Windows and drinking polonium tea.

We might convince a few of them to donate to the Democrat party but that's about it.

I'd say you should be ashamed of yourself but if it's one thing I've learned the right wing have no shame. Like you're physically incapable of the emotion.

It's weird and creepy seeing you psychopaths operate. It's no wonder you don't care the Trump is a pedophile.

Apparently roughly the size of Manhattan. The locals are freaking out because it's going to suck out all their water and drive their electricity bills through the roof but they can't do anything because there's just so much money involved.

When I say that AI is an antisocial technology that's what I mean. I don't mean anti-social in the sense of being mean or not wanting to play with the other kids. I mean it's genuinely against the goals of a healthy society and civilization.

They just pissed off half the country by yanking Jimmy Kimmel. And yeah that was because the entire federal government combined with Sinclair media and nexstar were threatening to pull them from the air completely but still most people don't know that nuance.

Maybe next time don't let a fascist take over America. We already have reports of CEOs complaining and grumbling about how bad things are under Trump. Even if the billionaires love it the multimillionaires don't.

This was always the plan. As the baby boomers die off and the older gen xers that about the same benefits from the New deal and Great society go with them the Republican party was doomed.

Birth rates cratered in 2000 so the demographic shift didn't happen but time keeps marching on and thanks to automation devouring the middle class the only ones with any money are the New deal and Great society kids. Basically anyone over 50.

You can't have a population of 320 million dirt poor people that's a democracy and not have some reform.

Back in 65 when Goldwater lost the Republican party decided that couldn't be allowed to happen and fascism was the order of the day backed by racism in the wake of desegregation. Trump is The logical outcome of that process that began in 65.

This is because we never took care of our original sin. Because we compromised on reconstruction during the post civil war era. The daughters of the Confederacy and what not are to blame for the end of human civilization.

I mean not Trump himself that man has no idea where he is or what he is or who he is but the actual heritage foundation goons that run our country now.

The thing where we all pretend we can be experts without having to study or learn things is going to doom entire species. You can't give up on reality in a world full of modern military weapons and nuclear bombs. Not for very long anyway.

Maybe the next covid really will be a boomer remover. For years the Democrats counted on a demographic shift that never came because nobody accounted for the birth rate crash. We have too many old people who are completely disconnected from the economy and reality.

People who have been protected by socialism and have no idea they were.

And because we are too dumb to realize that we can be replaced by somebody half our age for 1/3 to pay and our boss will deal with the loss of productivity in exchange for the savings on labor.

Especially if you're an older American you had American exceptionalism drilled into your skull and so you think you're a precious little snowflake that can't possibly be replaced. Heck you don't even think that you feel it on a base level.

You also really really really hate having that pointed out so, well I mean what good is karma if you don't spend it?

They own everything. Just like how the king owned everything.

The king needed a handful of thugs to keep the peasants in line and that's it.

The king occasionally needed to raise an army but these days would modern military weapons you don't really need to do that. And that's before we talk about autonomous drones.

People do not understand what's happening because it's so far outside the realm of day-to-day living for anyone that works. We are going back to feudalism but with enough technology that we will never escape it again. Techno feudalism.

Because if not what makes you think the 2,000 billionaires setting themselves up to control all of the wealth on Earth need you to buy Pop-Tarts from them?

The problem here is you're still thinking and acting as if the system is put in place to protect your interests still exist. They were systematically dismantled over the last 65 some odd years.

On that metaverse nonsense to create a less impressive version of second life.

The thing you don't get is that the ruling class can divert unlimited resources without the need for profit now. They are completely insulated from and untouched by capitalism and meritocracy.

So they don't need a profit because they are above all that. If something is useful to them personally it gets done regardless of whether or not it's a useful product for literally any of the other 8 billion people on this planet.

We brought back Kings and we don't like to talk about it.

A woman her age or a Wall Street Elite's parents have blue names on Wikipedia.

Nepo babies. It's nepo babies all the way down.

To kick out a bunch of Farm workers doing jobs that pay so little and are so crappy you can't find Americans to do it without resorting to slave labor...

I get frustration with the highest skilled visas and the h2b visas and I'm not going to pretend that Americans won't do roofing if they're paid well let alone framing houses and putting up drywall.

But the focus is always on the farm workers because they are easy pickings for ice. It makes the numbers look good.

And like everything Trump does this is about a show not about your income and your job.

Because it's the same goes reality has a left-wing bias.

If you start trying to take out the left wingers you start taking out a lot of popular content because most people lean left without realizing they're doing it. It's probably only about 30% of the population that want everything to be shit for everyone but them and their family.

So what you're doing there is the connections you need to make your algorithm work You're actively breaking them and your whole algorithm breaks down and the content just sucks.

To write documentation that I know nobody is ever going to read or use. I have to admit if I had had AI back then I absolutely would have used it to write that nonsense.

Also and this is somewhat terrifying but I have encountered people incapable of reading at the director level. I don't mean that as an insult I mean literally they are functionally illiterate. I figured it out when I had one of them and I kept emailing a basic explanation of something to them and they didn't understand but the moments I told them on a phone call they got it.

If you are trying to hide functional illiteracy I could see AI being extremely useful for that.

Now a proper civilization would not have let somebody get out of school functionally illiterate, and I don't mean we failed them so you right wingers can take your dicks out of your hands. We know how to take someone who is functionally illiterate and make them literate it's just a hell of a lot of work and it costs a bit of money. It's well worth doing but there's a bunch of people who get off on the idea that there are people out there who can't read.

It's always about the totem pole. The hierarchy. There has to be somebody beneath me no matter what. So keeping a handful of people unable to read when you yourself can read becomes highly desirable to a certain type of jerkwad.

I switched from a mediatek chipset to a Qualcomm chipset because the modems suck. The difference was immediate and obvious. It sucked because it was a difference between a really nice $300 phone and a mediocre $500 phone but the modem made it worth it.

I really hate how everyone focuses on nonsense AI and not on whether or not I can receive texts and make calls.
