  • TikTok Ban Bill Becomes Law, Gives TikTok 9 Months To Sell

  • Pathetic watching ancient, feeble rich people about to return to the dust from whence they came still frantically positioning to boost their ego scores.

    It's as if they believe their preferred invisible sky mommy/daddy will accept a bribe of earthly currency.

  • I promise you the Pentagon has already spent billions working to weaponize both AI and AI derived robotics.

    Their philosophy is that if a new technology even has potential military applications, they demand getting it first, best, and in larger quantities than any other nation on Earth would even consider. Our military industrial complex is the largest surpassing the Joneses continuous effort humanity exerts.

    That's how we get to spending more on our military than the next 9 nations combined. That's why we have 11 nuclear aircraft carriers, France has 1, and that's all there is on Earth.

    I'm not saying it's right, but it's the reality. Whatever we consumers have access to is behind what our military is testing and throwing basically infinite money at.

  • We're less than 5 years out from networked, general purpose humanoid robots, that we're using current AI technology to train to interact with the physics of the real world in virtual sandboxes, being everywhere.

    Within 10 years there will be humanoid robots no human Olympian can compete with by any metric. We are static on timescales we can perceive, they are iterative. It won't be close.

    You'd think our response to Covid would have shattered the mass delusion of human hyper-comptetence.

  • We're almost finished. This is just the transitional period where AI is roughly as inept as an average human. They have nowhere to go but up, and most humans are less competent than they believe they are.

    The first transistor was made in 1947, now AI can carry a conversation with a larger vocabulary than most humans. We spent 180,000 years wandering around in the dirt before it occurred to us we could grow stuff in one place.

  • I'm sure their private shareholders are absolutely thrilled with slave labor making them a few extra cents per share.

    It's insane what we allow people to do to people in the name of "just business" profiteering.

    CEOs of the offenders at the time, and anyone who signed off on this, should go to prison. Instead, at most (and likely nothing at all), their companies will receive a fine far less than what they saved using slave labor, which means they'll keep doing similar things.

  • Welp...

  • We're no less corrupt in the US, merely more expensive.

    Our cheats just hire lobbyists to make their corrupt practices legal, shout out to Citizens United, and/or hire enough lawyers to make the consequences meaningless, like fining a company that makes billions a year thousands for profitable criminal activity.

    Our "solution" to corruption is simply to make it legal for the right price. Donald Trump should have lost his empire and gone to jail for his business practices long before he was a game show host, let alone POTUS, but he learned and inherited enough from daddy to understand how to wield American style corruption, and he's still free.

  • Since there's no rational hope of addressing the other 3k or so billionaire parasites on Earth without building a really big Titanic wreckage tour sub and making little paths of stock certificates leading to it like reese's pieces in ET, I'll take whatever incidental vicarious revenge against humanity's oppressors I can get.

  • Future costs...

    Jump

  • The owners will do what they've been doing with our consent, or we'd have stopped them by now. They're going to keep profiting until the bill comes due, and then they'll cheat like always, this time by running away instead of with floors of tax attorneys and lobbyists capturing their own regulatory bodies, ensuring you'll bear the brunt of the consequences of their fine work.

    The owner class doesn't care about their nation state of origin, or even humanity's future, only themselves and their ego scores. That's literally the sociopathic motivation our civilization rewards through the global economy that punishes pro-social vocations, and is the very reason they won.

    When we're dying by the millions through starvation and constant deadly weather events, when far too late we stop making them more capital and start picking up pitchforks, they'll be underground, protected by class traitor private security, sipping exotic whiskies and irrationally placing the blame on the peasants for the fact that their favorite private resort for the rich got flattened by a CAT 6.

    It will take millions of years for the Earth to recover from what we're doing in a matter of decades to make a few thousand sociopath families feel like modern Pharoahs.

  • The fact that, even with the advent of digital records, humanity seems incapable of retaining the lessons of history gives me a a pessimistic outlook for our future.

    It only took a single human lifespan for fascism to be on the rise again in Germany, and for their former victims to be undertaking their own final solution.

    Same goes for the Great Depression here in the US, only took 50 years for the Reagan Revolution to hand all the power right back to the avarice ruled profiteer class to thunderous American applause, and many still act confused as to why that's a catastrophe, as if bread lines and children/seniors literally starving to death in the streets, and yes we're barreling back to that, was some kind of a fairy tale.

  • The fact that making significant sacrifices in abandoning many of the decadent comforts of this period at our only habitat's irreparable (on a human timescale) damage expense is met with ridicule shows how determined we are to wreck this place.

    Imagine mass famines and frequent catastrophic weather events a couple generations from now. I'm guessing they'll look at us being above living with our once kind, nurturing habitat with disdain and bewilderment when they're steeped in the fruits of our lifestyles.

    Im not saying going back to the dark ages, im not advocating rejecting knowledge, only the rushing around and consumerism. There's no more reasonable room for growth, growth is killing us, and robbing us of meaning.

    If we can't live with this paradise, the idea of us spreading to hostile, unforgiving worlds within reach like Mars or Titan is a bad joke. Unlike the infinite mistakes we get to keep making here without instant death, one major mistake out there where we didn't evolve, and poof everybody dead instantly thanks for playing space faring civilization. That isn't a game humans can pull off. Maybe some small crew of exceptional people, but certainly not a colony of regular people.

    This is what we got. So yeah, maybe spending our time whittling stuff we need and moving at the speed of horse would be better for humanity long term than racing to grow our GDP into extinction.

    Whats the endgame of all this growth and "innovation" if it wasn't killing us as it is? To have Google ad AI generated amalgums of our dead relatives transmitted directly into our brains to convince us to buy more crap?

  • Iran warns Israel, US of ‘severe response’ in case of retaliation

    Jump

  • It does, but if a catastrophic war, including one with nuclear weapons, brought us down to 2 billion from 9, those nukes wouldn't even touch the current course of heavy industry of 9 billion that we recklessly became without a thought in the world about whether our only habitat could support it.

    Because shooting wars end, even if through attrition. Industry just keeps metastizing if you let it, and pretty lies like "but we planted trees! That evens out all the shit we're pumping in the air and water!" are just pretty lies.

    If we cared about our species having a future, heavy industry would be scaled back to food/medicine, we could sow our own clothes, go back to horses, breed less, communaly build our own structures, and whittle our own shelf crap, and we could perhaps still provide a future to subsequent generations. We do not.
