If you want Ai to do just the menial shit, the drudgery... you're part of the problem.

Oh, look. The one thing they had to manipulate the public into accepting Ai is falling apart. Shocked, I tell you. 🙄
#noAi period

Repeatedly painting Biden as the WWIII candidate, and continually bleating on about NO war in Iran should have been the first clue. If you're surprised this is happening or still think it's a distraction, you haven't been paying attention.

And the answer is yes. 100%. Okay, maybe not that whole thing with Obama spilling little green men secrets. But that was more about finding any reason at all to arrest his greatest nemesis.
2/3

Here's the thing one has to consider whenever anyone says "it's a distraction". It completely falls apart with one simple question: Would Trump and Co. still be doing all the things, if there were no Epstein files?

If you think switching from OpenAI to Claude is the ethical choice, you've got another think coming. #dontbelievethehype

(Until now, though the bros still keep trying to move the goal posts to escape moral & ethical accountability.) Now these bros want us to believe that artificial systems are capable of what they think non-human animals are supposedly not, deserving of empathy & all the rest? 2/2

Animals-lovers have been told, forever, to stop anthropomorphising them, to stop giving them the intelligence & inner lives we could clearly observe, as fellow, living-breathing-sentient beings, but science couldn't "prove". 1/2

Ai sentience is a fantasy. Blade Runner (for example) is a secular parable, from which too many have not heeded its real lessons.

Iconic. 😉

If you are anti-Ai and bemoan the loss of creativity, the loss of intelligence and critical-thinking, but can't be bothered to read anything longer than a meme, you're part of the problem.

Disabuse yourself of the notion that these are the good guys. If you're going to boycott chat gpt, don't just sign up to another one. None of them are ethical.

Anthropic is still a terrible company despite this.

The bliss of ignorance is what they bank on.

"I didn't understand a word he was singing!"

It's like some people have never seen an opera.

Oh.

Because they would have needed Atwood to round it out. 😛

I say let Kevin O'Leary be in movies. We've seen what happens when we deny highly damaged megalomaniacs their art and entertainment fantasies.

So, as it turns out, the pro-gun nuts were actually pro-tyranny, all along.

Tax these psychopaths out of existence. Cue the obsequious wailing. "Oh, but they'll only have 999 million dollars. How will they live!?"

When people supposedly on the left tout "self-made" billionaires, or any of them having "earned" their Smaugian hoard, it suggests corporate media brainwashing - deliberate rhetoric designed to put a positive spin on unrestrained greed - & a level of ignorance usually reserved for the likes of MAGA.

3/3 ...How quiet the general pro-GMO public, swayed through paid online shills and a complicit mass media, is now that Monsanto's been caught out in court for all their dirty deeds and now, finally had to retract a paper.

2/3 ..."sugar is sugar", "Aspartame's safe", "margarine's healthier than butter", "lead paint's safe", and so on... when will people accept that these mega-corps lie to us, and stop automatically treating anyone who dissents as a whacko conspiracy theorist, necessarily akin to anti-vaxxers.

1/3 Today's "but the medical advances" are yesterday's "but you want to solve world hunger, don't you?"

Whether it's Ai & related tech, GMOs, or before that, "nicotine isn't addictive", "global-warming's a hoax", "clean coal", "coal-mining doesn't cause black lung", "white sugar's good for you"...

Stop feeling obliged to make the caveat, "oh, but I just mean generative Ai". It's failing us on every front. They are manipulating the masses with exaggerated claims of medical and scientific advances, and "but China" scare tactics. Upending democracy is the end goal. Make no mistake.
