If AI has a chance of being a benefit to society, there will be signs... like instead of killing off all of humanity, they start w/ the ruling class, and then stop. I'm not sure how you teach an AI that it should value what's good for society, humanity, and the global ecosystem, but here's hoping...

I kinda feel like neuro-divergence is just appropriately struggling to get by in this fucked up world.I rhunk if everyone had access to mental health care, we probably wouldn't be much of a minority, either...

My roomate told me he's polite to the stupid IA thing he uses because he thinks it will help him down the road. I was like so you think when it kills off humanity, it might spare you, just because you were nice to it???

If I could re-live one calander year from my childhood, but as an adult, it would be Oct. 24, 1992 to Oct. 24, 1993. I would see my Blue Jays win 2 World Series', see my Habs win a Stanley Cup, and see a bunch of my favourite bands more-or-less in their prime.

Ed Sheeran probably understands by now that he should have dropped the stadiums owned by people like Robert Kraft who are trying to blacklist people for standing up for Palestine rights, rather than dropping Macklemore. Other artists will start making the correct choice. This is a turning point.

This will terrify establishment Democrats. Not because of how horrible Tucker is, but because it shows that real leftists who oppose Israel can actually take votes away from Republicans.

Now that genocide is undeniable, they make the debate over when was too soon to come to the correct conclusion. By that point, many Israeli officials made genocidal threats and the indiscriminate bombing campaign was well underway. About the time Netanyahu was refering to Palestinians as "Amalek."
AIPAC on former twitter QTing Dr. Abdul El-Sayed:

Check the date.
The genocide lie was a lie from the start.
It was never about the war or food or even Palestinians, it was always about demonizing Israel.

The Sayed teeet from Oct 21, 2023 reads:

At the heart of the genocide being perpetrated against innocent Palestinians today is the Islamophobic trope that *all* Palestinians must be aligned with Hamas.

Israel now saying they are going to "mow the lawn" with regards to Iran, whichbis exactly what they have said about Gaza for years. They are essentially admitting that they plan to expand their genocide to Iran. These monsters must be stopped!

We are now at a point where the establishment so called "moderates" are the ones pushing some of the most extreme positions. They are the ones who support the genocide of Palestinians, mass surveillance via Flock cameras and Palantir, job killing AI proliferation and resource sucking data centers.

So, basically, the deal is that if Hamas doesn't agree to let Israel continue the genocide without a fight, then they will go back to genociding them even harder?!? I can hardly imagine any circumstance under which they should be disarming.

It's weird when people accuse any Muslim politician of wanting to implement Sharia Law. There is a reason Muslim immigrants tend to be more left wing (other than the right hating them) and it's because they often escaped right wing religious fundamentalist governments, so they don't want that.

Music streaming should let you tie tracks together. Many of my favourite artists have intro tracks or songs that lead into each other. I get that it would have to be a "premium" thing, and I never pay for something I can get free, but there's a reason Tool and Mars Volta aren't in my S**tify Wraped.

I'd like to think that if they were to nuke Iran in a war they supposedly started to prevent them from getting a nuclear weapon, that would make it pretty clear to the entire world who the bad guys are in that situation, but I know there would still be people saying they deserved it for some reason.
