So glad we've given even more billions to the LAPD instead of anything else.

Really trying to be less reactionary and more compassionate. A creator I really like did a vid about how her body has changed due to a hysterectomy last year and she was apologizing if her body triggered people, but she was in pain and is healthier now. Broke my heart she felt she had to apologize.

I think it's really indicative of the predatory nature of this "tech". The entire "efficiency" grift aspect is a gateway for certain personality traits. And not to excuse it, but he recently survived cancer and people are VERY vulnerable after that kind of trauma.

My mom, who just had breast cancer (she is cancer free after her mastectomy) had whooping cough as a kid and still considers it one of the most terrifying illnesses of her life.

This is me. And if you call me a Luddite over it prepare to be told, in specifics, why the Luddites Were Right, Actually and not anti-tech.

You know, reading Snow Crash, my thought was "god, I hope we don't end up like this". But. Uh.

I am personally sad about the H Green situation. I think the things he's worked on have been done with a real sense of wanting to share & educate. But like a lot of really intelligent people who have a lot of privilege & occupy a space with tech folks, the "AI" temptation can worm in really easily.

I think the obsequiousness of these things is part of what bumps me SO HARD on their obvious toxicity. Fawning "compliments" are not actually compliments, they're manipulation, and I personally don't respond well to that in any context. It makes me feel weird and creeped out.

I view people being susceptible to "AI" stuff the same way as I view being susceptible to propaganda. Literally any of us can fall victim to these kinds of things -especially- when we think we're immune. And if you have, say, white male privilege? Even more susceptible than you think.

Whew! For the first time all summer the kiddo wanted to go to the park, in the morning no less. Thankfully she was done before it really gets hot but also it was nice to just get out and wander. We've been doing daily swims which are great but honestly walks are my all time fave movement.

I am DYING. Apparently you can't just like a thing and find it fun to read anymore. Or like, be horny and like a horny story. Also, pretty sure reading about "Westeros" a fictional fantasy world had nothing to do with fear about the future but ok.

This has been my question. It's one thing to get fooled by the text although so far everything I've seen of this type has been very obvious. But how is the rest of this happening?

This is an all time fave.

Literally Knives Out: Glass Onion dude reasoning. Ugh.

Yeah, this is like the rest of the propaganda around it. They want it to sound like the "AI" acted independently. Just like all the ones claiming Terminator is any day now, it's calculated PR. The threat is the same: human hubris and error.
