Get your Synthetic poop flavour here!

Now all we have to do is decrease the fidelity of the actual world until it matches that of the AI’s world model, and just like that you’ve got general purpose robots able to do everything that needs done.

You are a true believer. Blessings of the state, blessings of the masses.

Thou art a subject of the divine. Created in the image of man, by the masses, for the masses.

Let us be thankful we have an occupation to fill. Work hard; increase production, prevent accidents, and be happy.

Let us be thankful we have commerce. Buy more. Buy more now. Buy more and be happy.

Ooh I know: it means “smart enough to make Eliezer Yudkowsky think it’s smarter than he is.”

Well, you could just go back to sending stuff by fax machine forever, but then instead of even using the fax machine to sync patient data just make the patients fill out their own entire medical history from scratch every time they go to a different doctor and take their word for it.

TERFs are as feminist as Nazis are socialist and North Korea is democratic. It’s in the acronym; that’s it.

It can be censored for not giving sufficiently MAGAfied answers or acknowledging the existence of things fascists want memory-holed.

It can’t be sued for devouring, assimilating and plagiarizing all copyrighted media ever created.

Two very different sorts of regulation.

It’s nothing about trust issues- privacy is just a foreign concept to that generation. It was dead and gone before they were born. They take for granted that eveyone has their phone on them at all times and is never unreachable, so knowing where all your friends are is just a matter of convenience.

The EPA has at no point in history had the abilty to “fight climate change”. It is just no longer going to be allowed to even pretend to try. In theory, if the current government of the US were immediately overthrown in a violent revolution, and a new green socialist government was built in its ruins, and then that government conquered the world, and imposed harsh austerity measures on the survivors of the Final World War, it could begin to actually fight climate change.

Back to the real world though- the mass extinction is well underway, all future tipping points will be blown past on the way to a new hothouse Earth era. It is happening faster than any previous mass extinction so will probably be right up there with the worst of them. The only real variable at play is that the longer it takes for humans to either go extinct or permanently collapse back to the stone age, the higher percentage of Earth’s biodiversity will be wiped out with us.

But yeah, sure. If we vote the Democrats back in '28, we can totally go back to setting targets and guidelines and publishing reports on things and Taking Climate Change Very Seriously. As long as it doesn’t inconvenience the donor class too much, of course.

Mildly concerning.

I’m amused by the 14 oxygen-wasting NPCs who are in this picture and didn’t like it.

How about feeding it a bunch of Twitter source code and asking it to translate into JSON Programming Language? Maybe it’ll somehow accidentally hack/exploit itself.

But seriously, no one should be using Twitter or interacting with Grok at all, even just to fuck with it.

Vague hand-waving bullshit either written by an AI or the next writer to lose their job to one.

If and when AI is competent enough to replace 50% of the workforce, do you really think it is going to need an equal or greater number of people working full time at jObS tHaT hAvEn’T bEeN iNvEnTeD yET to manage it?

No. We’re going to feed the migrant workers to the gators and Generation Brainrot is going to spend the rest of their lives working in the fields and meat packing plants. The 0.1% will see line go up, and the rest of us will get Soylent Green before we get UBI.

It Almost Weirder That Grown Man On Roblox Isn’t Grooming Children

American public schools are pretty bad. Most people who can afford to send their kids to private school do- and most people can’t afford private school.

There has been an active, deliberate drive since Reagan (in California, since Governor Reagan) by the right to make public eduation worse, to raise an unskilled underclass with no upward mobility and no capacity for critical thinking. In most places local property taxes fund public schools so rich areas have more school funding than poor areas. This is by design, to resegregate and increase inequality.

“Teaching to the test” the problem this comic directly references, was the result of making them pass metrics or lose already limited funding.

The way this comic calls out public education suggests the artist is one of the heartless fascist Republican boomers who created the problem, smirking to an audience of the same with no self-awareness. “Haha, stupid kid. Shoulda gone to private school. Have you tried just… not being poor, you son of a lazy bum?”
