but at the end of the day the dumb masses drove the country off the cliff
You still don’t understand.
But unfortunately repeati g my advice is unlikely to help regardless of if I do it now or a month from now if we run into each other again.
Nothing personal, I just don’t wanna go thru this again later if I know how it’ll end.
It literally took democracy to basically collapse and people to literally die on the streets for some groups to wake up
For you…
It took demographicsyou identify with experiencing those things for you to notice groups waking up.
But different demographics have been thru this for generations, and various groups have been waking up to it for just as long
So congrats for joining us. Just try to remember you’re not the first, and you hopefully won’t be the last. Look around and realize that as you come up with “new” ideas, some people been in this so long they learned it from their grandfather before they learned how to ride a bike.
That’s a good thing for you. You don’t have to start from scratch.
Just open your eyes some more, stay woke, don’t get mad your not a leader and quit.
I’m sorry but there may be smart Americans out there but, and a population, Americans are basically a blob of idiotic sociopaths
You’re missing the point…
Even with the dumbest audience possible, if two people are trying to convince the audience a charismatic liar can win if their opponent is also lying or has no charisma.
But no matter how charismatic or how good of a liar. It’s really fucking hard to beat someone with average charisma who doesn’t need to lie about wanting to help people
Look at Mamdani, I love the guy.
But people act like he’s dripping charisma just because he’s compared to Eric Adams.
He’s not that charismatic, watch his interviews with Mero, he’s a nerd from the Bronx.
It’s just an honest person that wants to help doesn’t need a lot of charisma, cuz they’re not selling lies
The day Mamdani won the primary, the current chair of the DNC came out saying all this too, and saying that’s what we need as a dem.presidential candidate in 2028.
Zuckerberg was in court to testify as part of a trial over whether Meta and Alphabet-owned YouTube deliberately designed their social media platforms to encourage compulsive usage by young people.
Ironically I think rather than them wearing them for nefarious reasons, they’ve just been encouraged to use them for so long, that they are actually addicted to them as well.
Like, if you were forced to use your employers product at work for 10-12 hrs a day and try to come up with way to monetize it in your off hours, you may start to rely on it eventually.
Our brains are wired to always take the easiest path, that’s actually the reason for technological advancement in the first place.
They probably just don’t even realize they’re wearing them, it’s just a (mostly useless and completely impractical) part of their bodies now.
Pretty sure you had to tie a phone number to an account for years now…
Everyone that interacts with that stuff, Elmo knows.
Imagine getting a phone call from a bot one day going over all the worst removed you’ve done on the internet and saying if you don’t do x/y/z then it’ll release your history to everyone you know.
It’s a large scale Epstein style blackmail ring on average people.
Which doesn’t sound that scary till you realize they know everything about these, where they live, who they work for, who their neighbors are, what picks up kids from the same school.
There’s no indication it’s happening yet, but does anyone think Elmo is above it? Hell, he could be DMing people saying they have to vote Republican or he releases their Twitter history.
Huh?
A big reason trump got so many votes is he lied about draining the swamp and his voters are dumb enough to believe him.
They can be dumb and believe someone who means it when they say it.
Like, you’re making a valid point, then reaching the literal opposite conclusion that logic should take us too
We can’t afford to be that shortsighted, think stuff thru.
Silver lining: it’s gonna get bad enough we can start nationalizing removed as early as 2029 like FDR did after the great depression.
If a candidate said:
There should be no utilities monoplies by for profit companies
Fucking 99.99% of voters would listen to anything else they had to say.
There’s so many things that need fixed that everyone agrees on, we just haven’t had a candidate free of corporate influence.
But the next Dem primary is a better shot than we’ve ever had. We just need to make sure as many people as possible vote in the primary.
The problem is every CEO knows it’s a bubble, and all are just trying to kick the can down the road long enough they can get out with their money before it bursts.
Everyone knows it’s going to happen. But to admit it would be career suicide, with the amount of money at stake for so many people, it might legit cost them their lives if they’re honest.
Trillions and trillions of dollars that could disappear in the blink of an eye when stock prices hit zero.
And when the big ones go to zero, there’s a very good chance it crashes everything because a few megacorps own everything.
Ironically the real apocalypse AI is likely to cause, is some kind of Mad Max situation after the bubble bursts. Especially in America where necessary infrastructure like food supply is run by private mega corps, if grocery stores are empty for two weeks removed gets insane quick.
I think you’re doing your argument a disservice by comparing it to theory of gravity
That’s not a direct comparison…
It’s the generic comparison to show that “just a theory” includes thing we understand 99.9999% of and definitely exists
Until we know absolutely everything, it’s still a theory
But we don’t have to believe in gravity for it to be real
The point is:
Just a theory
Doesn’t mean as much as what people think when they say it
Human variation…
Some people are cool anywhere.
Some freak out when they leave home.
Some have to leave and never come back
And some have to ping pong all over the damn place constantly.
If everyone was the same we’d never have made it anywhere close to this far.
Partly that, partly that even if they tried to prevent it from killing humans (if able) it would just do it.
Like if AI had a button that said “kill 20 random people” it wouldn’t have any reason to not press the button. It doesn’t give a removed about human life, because it can’t really give a removed about anything.
It’ll kill every human just as easily as it I’ll delete an entire codebase.
It’s not “evil” it’s the lack of anything resembling ethics, including respect for human life. There’s technically a difference. But that’s a fundamental misunderstanding of human psychology
Penrose published a book on it in 1989.
For literal decades the only thing that ruled it out was the ability for quantum entanglement in the brain. Less than 2 years ago we proved not only was that possible, but quantum super position could be sustained for as long as we’re awake.
It’s a pretty safe time to be confident, even without accounting for Penrose being the literal smartest person on the planet.
Like, I’m not big on “appeals to authority” but if Sir Roger Penrose spends 37 years saying something is true, and just continually gets proven more right over the decades…
It’s not as far reaching as you seem to believe.
Like, gravity is just a theory too, removed is harder than people realize it is to prove.
Yep
The thing is if it’s entangled, why is there a fiber cable?
If it’s teleportation, why is there a cable?
However what actually makes consciousness in a brain is (hypothetically, technically) microtubules forming a very tiny cable inside of which quantum superposition is able to be maintained while we are conscious. When even brief quantum entanglement used to be insanely hard anywhere and an environment like the brain considered impossible.
Like, it’s hard to tell what really happened from OPs article. But there should be much better articles explaining it, and this could actually end up being crazy important. Like, 20-30 years from now this might be how we finally get a real AI.
Quick edit:
Like, rather than one straight line to send data, if this can maintain even just entanglement in a simple fiber optic cable…
Then that’s huge.
If they just stretched a string between two containment chambers that each have an entangled particle, then what purpose is the string even serving?
The firm’s T‑Labs used commercially available Qunnect hardware to demo quantum teleportation over 30km of live
Bit disingenuous to talk about teleporting things along a fiber line…
Also shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how quantum entanglement works…
But it’s actually pretty huge that they’re able to do this.
Kind of hard to believe OP mentioned that for absolutely no reason than they’re trolling and wanted someone to mention that
That makes sense at least, they have a huge financial interest in grifting idiots
What doesn’t make sense is the real life humans who not only sink their own free time and money into training it, but insist on attempting to convince people it’s great with their free time after their chatbot credits run out.
That’s more surprising to you then someone authentically saying it?
I guess someone pointing it out that it’s exactly like the meme, can only happen after someone does.
But that would be like hearing someone say “look a Sasquatch” and you bragging about how rare it is to hear someone say that after actually seeing a sasquatch.
Oh wow.
I never thought I’d see a real one of these:
AI really does just recycle past zeitgeists doesn’t it?
Are you concerned that reliance on AI will perpetually put you months or even years behind the rest of humanity?
Or is it like people who don’t watch a show till all the episodes or even seasons are out?
No, but if you eat 3-5 bananas before a radiation measuring, you’ll read high exposure.
