Now we need an AI agent to catch and kill all of the fake AI-generated posts. We know that "big tech" won't hire humans to do that anymore.
After a UPS plane crashed in Louisville killing 14 people and injuring dozens more, AI-generated posts flooded social media with disinformation.

My much younger self could never believe that such a criminal could be the President of the United States. And I worked on Nixon's reelection campaign in 1972!
Trump:
Impeached twice
Led an insurrection against the US
34 times felon
Adjudicated sex offender
Stole top secret documents
Epstein’s best friend
Now, war crimes too

There was no fog of war after all. Just a war crime.

Short answer: NO! There's almost no difference between the dot.com meltdown and the AI bubble now growing in the world economy. The Internet caused a lot of short term disruption. But it didn't disturb the 150 year trend of 2% growth. AI has even less chance of doing so.

Where is the Interpol order to arrest Hegseth for the war crime of ordering that survivors be killed? We hung Germans and Japanese for similar brutality after the end of World War II.
Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

@jenbyers.com this is the @billmckibben.bsky.social article I mentioned in your thread. I suggest you read it. It explains a lot about what you're experiencing. An old-time Christian like Bill doesn't really relate to what Christianity means under Trump. It sounds to me like you want the old stuff.
Bill McKibben writes a long piece about the modern inversion of the Christianity which was common during our mutual youth. I too was raised Presbyterian. However, the fact Christianity could be mutated into being its opposite made me an atheist. Not Bill.

Andreesen is owned by the vulture capitalists who provide him with the billions he needs to grow his company. The very nature of capitalism is to seek profit regardless of moral considerations. Moral constraints on technology are against profitability. Thus capitalism has always been anti-morals.
Marc Andreesen,🥚, picked a fight with *the Pope* over a pretty basic call to exercise discernment when building AI.
Marc truly believes that any constraint on anything he does is fundamentally illegitimate.
