I sell AI at one of those multi-trillion dollar Megacorps so that I can afford a lavish life-style of debauched sexual hedonism and bibliophilia.
I also tame Crows.

WHAT WHAT WHAT folks say, AI is the WORST!!!! But it really isn't. Not when you compare it to the dopamine skinner boxes of social media.
With AI you are always within 5 words of a prompt from an interesting, intelligent rabbit hole and they aren't wrong as often as people pretend.

People (and to some extent parents) will choose the lives they/their kids will have.
Many people will choose poorly and that can not be avoided.
Some will not get much choice, yet some of those will still choose wisely.
So it has always been, so it will remain. For a while.

The whole anti-gaming narrative is so idiotic. Not everyone is playing Counterstrike. I grew up on grand strategy, tactics and simulation.
The amount of learning I've been able to draw on from gaming to build my successful tech career is mind boggling.
FAR more than school ever gave me.

It's not weird. It's just not targeted at you. It's targeted at the lower classes hurt by off-shoring their traditional jobs and it will work.
It's one of the reasons we have so many right leaning populists.
Please don't treat this as stupid. It's shockingly effective because we "forget" our poor.

Trumps factions themselves are about to discover this shortly I suspect.
But of course, neither democrats nor republicans will want to fully walk back the insanity he has wrought and the damage has already been done.
I think, a healthy wake-up call for us in Europe though. So thanks?

It's hilarious really. The Republicans attacked education and information for decades upon decades to more easily control their voters.
Only to COMPLETELY lose control to someone they reviled.
Which just goes to show that when smart people think they have a complex system figured out. They haven't

To be fair, he wasn't until the schmucks elected him. These days he's a classical weak dictator, propped up by a variety of competing factions.
Those factions will absolutely rush to put some insane reforms/policies forth before he falls and the infighting begins.

Why do you people talk about people like these as if they act in good faith? Ten seconds on her Wikipedia article makes it crystal clear she's just a grifter.
Nothing she writes is her opinion. It's all engagement farming.
Then again, responding in good faith is good engagement farming for you.

These papers on purpose, then "accidentally" not redact it properly. Wait for the feeding frenzy and then just start saying "Yeah but look how non-credible this is".
Thus burying the more boring, mundane vile shit he's actually guilty of that could be backed up.

Because if all people do are copy/pasting allegations then this thing, like so many other things, will do nothing but help Trump confused the news cycle while he's easily able to tell his base "Look, this is based on nothing".
I wouldn't put it past them to push a ton of non-credible stuff into

Until people start digging into them and finding bits and pieces to back them up.
The whole pregnant teen, watching her uncle dispose of the body. I wouldn't put it past the rich. But it also has big "Scitzo-delusional" vibes to it.
So yeah. Let's see what happens and focus on substance.

As much as I loathe Trump and while I certainly believe he is guilty of plenty of dirt with underage girls.
Some of those redacted docs 100% read like what I've heard paranoid scitzo's say online about Hillary Clinton and satanic sex parties.

This one gets a like just for adding Bush. INSANE to argue he isn't up there with Donald Trump in terms of how bad he was.
The fucking patriot act?! 2 wars with fuck-all planning post missiles? I mean getting rid of Saddam I can get behind but FUCK man, THINK.

It isn't for you though. It isn't for the people discussing it here. It's an appeal to authority play to the tired, overworked, poor, uneducated bastards who make up his base.
People too stressed. Too devoid of hope and education to know better. That still think "If important people praise him..."

You know, I count myself something of a rakehell. But I continually boggle at the takes I see from some men on sex and women.
You really struggle to comprehend how some people think until it smacks you in the face like a half brick in a sock.

Oh and a book, and a youtube and a podcast and a punditry career too!
There is a profound lesson on incentive structures, performative activism, political atrophy and the downfall of democracy in there. But I'm too depressed by it all to go looking for it.
