Surely the intelligence agencies at work in sane countries are considering assassination operations, right? Isn’t this like the most worthy reason to attempt such a thing, threat of global annihilation?
Once the details of this list are distributed and accessible enough, hopefully some folks are able to start regionalizing the names so we can start posting name/faces of the fuckers who live in our community so everyone knows who around them should be denied any and all services that can legally be withheld. Refuse to serve them in your businesses, shame them whenever they are in public, protest in front of their houses. Make their lives hell, embarrass them out of their homes and communities.
I think rebels should start thinking more organizationally. Not everyone needs to be willing to die or kill to create a strong resistance. Sabotage can come in many forms, like stealing or destroying critical supplies; creating confusion or slowing down the enemy can be huge tactical advantages. I think if people really want to civil war this shit, then “get guns” isn’t helpful. Instead we should be suggesting things like “wear masks an obfuscate your identifiable characteristics and move road blocks into the roads leading to/from ICE facilities” and “dismantle or create a blockage for their buildings plumbing or water supplies”.
Shits fucked, and you're right to press us (Americans) on taking action. but that 2/5 figure is not a very true look at our demographics. 1. There's a huge contingent of non-voting americans; Some because they're negligent, but plenty of others are children, disenfranchised through bullshit voting laws, non-citizens who contribute greatly but nevertheless can't vote, or prisoners who have done their time but aren't allowed to vote anymore.
2. Identifying parties from polls has always been suspect. 80% of people still willing to identify as republican in a poll support trump, but surely that self-selection bias is massively skewing those results. Would those farmers in the leopards ate my face community still say they're republican in a poll? probably most, but not all who actually did vote republican.
Lots of other completely "doesn't happen here" shit has been happening here. so if i were a degenerate gambler, I'd be putting money on Kalshi or whatever that this dude falls out a window in the next 6 months.
it's probably a little bit of both. idk, i'm not involved and disagree with his politics. but he's a good target for what you'd need to do to change minds because reasonable explanations can get through, but he's been poisoned by whatever cultural influences reagan imposed on his stupid little kid mind; believes in trickle down myth and such.
I tend to think the people who might not don’t have a clear understanding of what “for profit” means. My dad heard “for profit” and goes “yeah, that’s a good thing. I work for a profit too”
We need some clearer way to express “exploitative and extractive profit”
When my local mom n pop shop makes a profit, it’s so they can maybe expand their menu or open another location across town. Maybe send their kids to college. Or even buy a summer home, extravagant for most but still pretty reasonable. When ketamine king makes a profit, it’s by exploiting millions so he can feel like the worlds most special little guy and light another 5 years of global breathable air on fire in the process.
I really am interested in a folding phone, but i'm not comfortable with paying apple any new money if i can avoid it. I've completed my data migration off of iCloud and into self-hosted solutions, but i'm continuing to pay for iCloud until i'm confident i won't somehow have issues with nextcloud and immich.
When my iPhone 14 Pro eventually fails to meet my needs, I'm planning on getting a Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold, not because Google is any better, I don't want to be giving them money either, but it is compatible with GrapheneOS.
I guess so. I’m just so wary of everything revolving around AI, even blaming it. If the idea of AI psychosis gets big, but then undermined by shoddy reporting or research, it could cause people to dismiss it like the McDonald’s hot coffee thing.
I want AI companies to be held accountable, but only appropriately so they can’t use shakey arguments against it to get out of that responsibility.
I have significant problems with AI, particularly around reckless implementation in tasks it is simply incapable of providing real value (most of them), but I struggle to find these kinds of articles as anything but the journalism version of the same lazy application.
Blaming AI for a mental health issue is like blaming alcohol for making someone an asshole. They were an asshole before they got drunk, it just became more obvious while drunk. Same thing here, AI is not causing psychosis, it’s just revealing it in a place that we’re not used to seeing stuff like this come from: a computer.
This article isn’t likely using AI to write it, but the application of AI as the subject matter and tying this person’s crisis to the use of AI seems lazy at best, negligent at worst.
Worth every penny I’m sure. I was making a reference to the anti-union propaganda that tried to argue union dues were worth trading for a PS5
