However, the bigger question is, could present neoliberal regimes respond to the dislocation of AGI given their animus to the welfare state?
The answer is no, which is why we need #UBI, #MEDICARE4ALL, & #FREEEDUCATION.

My teachers always used to say, "Why you asking questions? Don't you know that only stupid people ask questions?"
I was never deterred. In fact, I still ask questions today, like "How is it possible this walking sack of excrement convinced 77 million people to vote for him?"

Q: Officials say the suspect in the DC shooting was vetted & it came up clean
TRUMP: He went cuckoo. He went nuts. There was no vetting
Q: Actually, your DOJ IG says there was thorough vetting of Afghans. So why blame Biden?
TRUMP: You're just asking questions because you're a stupid person

SoftVoice is an AI call center software that eliminates angry language from customer calls.
It made me think of K & P's Obama interpreter but reversed.
So, scream "I'm coming to burn down your mother fucking business!" and AI translates that as "Customer is extremely dissatisfied with product." 🤣

It would be interesting if this led to a "Mourdock Effect." That is where moderate to conservative candidates are primaried by individuals who say outlandish things like "even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that...is something that God intended to happen."

If @radiofreetom.bsky.social was not a practicing socialist who never served on the Politburo why did he claim to be an "expert" on the U.S.S.R. and international relations during the Cold War? 🤔
People who are not Orthodox Christians explaining Orthodox Christian doctrine to me is peak Death of Expertise, and the only thing that could make it better is if they were talking to an Orthodox metropolitan

Henry II once said, "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?"
After uttering these words, Henry's men then went and killed Thomas Becket, the Archbisop of Canterbury.
Trump knows exactly how his words will be interpreted by his cult followers.

Bruce Schneier was correct when he wrote in 2000 that social engineering attacks are the biggest threat to a networked society.
This begs the question, is a software or service like Crowdstrike worth the danger it poses in taking down swathes of our digital infrastructure?
Security is never easy.

A perfect movie for our age. The main character is no hero, not even an anti-hero. He tragically exemplifies the average American male who thinks himself deprived of a familial loyalty he never earned and the victim of a meritocracy that he was too stupid to realize was, from the beginning, a scam.

While it would not surprise me if the #EpsteinFiles proved Trump's complicity and participation in child rape, my sense is that Trump fears more the underlying story of #RussianMoneyLaudering, largely orchestrated by Epstein for Trump's benefit.

1 Kings 3:16-28 tells of two women claiming a child as their own.
Solomon orders the child be halved and one section given to each woman.
The real mother begs that the child be given to the other.
Thus Solomon learns the identity of the real mother.
The Democratic #Shutdown deal was not this. 😒
