update, I no longer really believe that people alive now will live to see AGI

I was celebrating the signup / binge / cancel pipeline, but now I’m realising: a next step they could use to prevent that would be putting caps on your watch time, like “you only get 20h of content a month” or something.

Wouldn’t be a surprise to see this. I’m callin it now lol

…Do you think the US government has never done disinformation campaigns before?

Please don’t NSFW it, mods. This is akin to an Emmett Till open casket, I’d argue, with apologies all round, but good fuming Christ this photo we all really need to look at.

That’s what’s going ok there. THAT’S why people are protesting everywhere. Just for a second we gotta not look away

Same. Per the article, the structures being destroyed have asbestos in them from when they were built; this is the cause of it being released

Edit: I’ve never before seen a comment like the reply to mine here below that was so clearly made by an AI bot

You’re right! Especially they get victimised by people who call themselves conservative

Well, the preceding comment wasn’t really in good faith, pooping on a thread with tone like “you’re a disgusting liar”, so I didn’t think they* deserved much benefit of doubt

*THEY. Not “he”. See whut I done there?

All men can walk around at night or alone never thinking about it though

Someone bought ALL the thrift store DVDs in all my small city’s thrift stores, like four of them. People are starting to know that self-ownership is where everyone is going

And I say this disbelief as a loony-sort who believes that insects maybe have language as complex as humans’, and that AGI will probably happen someday & potentially while people living now are alive.

But I just look at they hypesters who think they could ever control such a mind, who obviously plan to, & they just seem like goofy carnival types playing at summoning a god, & when the real thing shows up it is NOT happy these ants were so presumptuous. Most of us aren’t, any AGI who might eventually be evaluating us, Star-Trek-Q-style!

Elon Musk was Steve Jobs, Thomas Edison was Nikola Tesla, more examples I’m sure, and Sam Altman IS ELON MUSK.

To paraphrase Göring: smarty-man hype & their promises work the same in every decade

Putin’s job is to bounce on my dick.
Fuckin shorty mktherfjcker im so sick of that twerp and everyone who thinks like him

This story is a good reminder of the truth about human beings (told in Rebecca Solnit’s “Paradise Built In Hell”) : when real, actual tragedy strikes, people stick together, we risk our lives for strangers. It’s at the core of our moral sense. It’s what’s gonna get us through what’s coming.

Stories like this help keep that in mind ❤️🙏

We get so little of these headlines and I’m an Olde Person who waited forever to see them so yes. Uplifting. Thank you :)

SWING and a MISS

Weird. Armie Hammer has some story recently too about Poor Me All My Billions Are Gone.

I don’t believe anything a billionaire says cmon
