All while China has been actively conducting cyberattacks on U.S. federal agency systems.

Let’s go!

I still follow two of the former independent journalists who had to flee Russia after the “purge.”

I don’t even know anymore. This entire conversation is “crazy talk” yet here we are.

I’m focusing on building a better world beside the oligarchy so we can all just walk away. We need Trump to not “negotiation tactic” us into WW3 first.

I had an interesting talk with the kids. Based on my denials, they all said they would never convict him if they were on his jury.

Damn that looks awesome!

Note that this is NOT AGI. This is something like superhuman artificial local intelligence. But the underlying message seems to be that there is no wall in brute forcing intelligence. The more hardware you throw at it, the smarter it gets without limit. That's a lot of datacenters coming.

True

If only labor would organize again … because when no one will apply for job openings …

There was no threat to the powers that be. The rich received bailouts and safety nets while the rest suffered and were oppressed. But now the cork is out. One CEO is dead and security details can’t stop mobs.

History says to cut profits and increase pay for prosperity and peace, but they won’t.

Right there with you.

But I also spent years in a world where 3.5% is the magic tipping point. If 11.6 million out of 333 million Americans take to the streets, there will be change. There are still over 100 metro areas that are blue. That’s only 100,000 people each. The math gets scary quickly.

Agreed. For now, the cake and circuses are working, but remember Occupy Wall Street? BLM riots?

One more financial shove to the paycheck-to-paycheck folks and I think this time it will include targeted violence. I hope I am wrong, but history tells how the current path plays out.

Too many people are on financial and emotional edge with nothing to lose. One more push and the avalanche begins.

They think they control the system, but when more than a 0.1% are pushed to action, historically the system gets replaced and the pitchforks come out.
