Vitally important that we as the culture-creating underclass always throw tomatoes at these dweebs & never respect them. They won't see our comments, but establishing ubiquitous cultural canon that every ultra-rich guy is a talentless thieving loser is the first step to taxing them into oblivion.

Yeah. “Fast forwarding” through the show is actually NOT watching it. So when people ask you if you’ve watched it, you should just go ahead and say no.
I was asked what I thought now that #pluribus has reached seven episodes.
I’m not seeing any of the liberal subtext some folks are seeing. But I’ve learned to watch the show by fast forwarding through the long, artsy stretches where no one speaks.
There were exactly 2 lines of interesting dialogue.

I am a suicide attempt survivor so I’m kind of selfishly interested in prevention and, again, while it may difficult to completely prevent IDEATION, what ChatGPT does (despite guardrails!) is *cheerlead and facilitate* completion. You can come back from ideation but not a chat-optimized completion.
This is not true. This is argument that pro-gun people use to discount red flag and waiting period laws. Ease of access and lethality (let alone cheerful instruction in the best method!) is the #1 predictor of attempts leading actual completion. The more barriers, the more people live.
I think it's fine Chat GPT is telling people how to kill themselves. They'll figure it out one way or another if they're serious.

I am consistently baffled by people who claim to be anti-fascist but they use AI avatars or banner art.
Generative AI is a fascist tool. Period. Look at who's paying for it. Look at who's pushing it. Look at what they want you to use it for. It is anti-human.

The thing with AI and the enshittification of the web is that there are still tons of reliable digital information resources out there, it’s indexed, people share it. You don’t have to use chatbots to get info. You don’t have to use short form video to parasocially get your political news, etc.
