I don't know I thought it was pretty funny when we found out that 90% of right-wing influencers are either Pakistani or Indian and they're just grifting stupid right wing Americans.

So yeah it would be funny to actually see the algorithm with all its warts and all.

But that said the algorithm without the data isn't a complete picture. Especially because we know that the owner of Twitter routinely has the data altered artificially in order to fit with whatever silly little agenda he has this week.

I mean I guess yeah technically since Elon Musk and Jeff bezos are lizard people but I think they're native lizard people rather than the usual batch of aliens we get.

Literally there's about 3 or 400 people who are going to destroy the entire planet except for a small section of it that they will be allowed to live on protected by automatic killbots and periodic Mass cullings.

And your Boomer uncle is all in favor of it as long as he doesn't have to look at trans people or let them drink his beer.

Are car assembly plants really so heavily optimised for the human body?

Not really, but many of the machines in them are designed to be operated by humans.

Are human bodies so flexible in what they can manage?

Yes. Human bodies are incredibly versatile compared to any non-primate. Granted, there's things we can't do, but we've got a very good mix of abilities compared to other creatures. Our skin is a bit disappointingly fragile, but otherwise we're quite capable.

It all seems rather misconceived.

Agreed. It would make more sense to use robot arms with the tools redesigned to go on one instead of being operated by human hands. A lot of the tools are robotic already, for example the machines they use to tighten head bolts. A human only applies the tool to the head, it does the actual work. The human is there only for fine positioning! And it's not actually fine by modern standards, either.

After experiencing the initial wave of revulsion at the idea like everyone else, I did think about what these might actually be good for. And the answer is PR events. The elite are always creating the future they want, they have all the resources and all the power and can actually do so. And in that future they want photographs of them looking beautiful and powerful and hobnobbing with other beautiful and powerful people to exist, but without all of the side baggage that goes along with that — either from the media asking them occasionally-inconvenient questions, or from those pesky photographers who are always asking them to stand a certain way. It's quite distracting! Surely the computer can retouch the image!

And they are right. It can. So what if the image winds up looking processed and plastic? So are they.

You seem to really have it in for being woke. Which implies that you've gone to sleep and that you think that's a good thing.

I mean this is all metaphorical being woke means being aware of systemic abuse of power. That's all it means. Do you honestly believe there are no systemic abuses of power that you need to be concerned with? Personally or morally? Do tell do tell...

That's the problem with the right wing they have this imaginary world they live in where everything is perfect until it's not. You can keep your head in the sand for a long time if you're part of the old in groups but those are breaking down fast. So unless you're planning on dying in the next few years you need to get woke or you're going to be broke. Because the top 1% have had enough of you walking around with property and money in your bank account that rightfully belongs to them.

But not you of course. None of this applies to you. Your exceptional. You're special. I'm sure you're just posting to a dying web forum in between lunch with Elon Musk and dinner with Jeff bezos...

And in such obvious ways. As a reminder flock has a training manual that teaches cops how to lie about using flock cameras in there investigations.

It's like how we all just found out that data centers use 10 times as much water as they report.

We already knew that and we know we're being lied to and we keep letting them do it.
