You sound like an old conservative bitching about the Internet in the 90s. Were you furious 10 years ago about the word “server”?

AI is not NFTs, the metaverse, or Windows Recall. It’s not a monolith. It cannot simply be reduced to “good” or “bad”. It is a marketing term applied to a natural progression of computing technology. It has pros and cons. It will become more power efficient over time. Some use cases will go away and we will find areas where it shines. Be angry at how Big Tech is abusing it, sure, but educate yourself about what it is or continue to splinter yourself culturally away from society.

kids are growing up watching this trash for 8 hours a day

I remember my parents saying this exact phrase about Saturday morning cartoons in the early 90s. They became glued to Fox News the very same decade. Interestingly, (some) cartoons today have diversity, inclusion, and complex character growth. Others are made by PragerU.

These modern portfolios will also diversify. Teach your kids media literacy and critical thinking to ensure they can find their way. It starts with YOU reviewing these concepts today. Your ability to notice the problem will not protect you.

Define “good.” I imagine it’s informative but depressing. Does he find space for optimism? For solutions?

The 2nd amendment was written in 1789 when information moved at the rate of the printing press and bullets came from muskets.

This takeover has been in planning since the 1970s. They courted the NRA and gun owners along with the attack on public schooling so said gun owners wouldn’t understand what fascism is when the moment came.

In the grand scheme of things, it took the fascists 200 years to find a way around the 2nd amendment.

He referenced the Charlie Kirk situation. He didn’t say anything about Charlie Kirk. He’s nothing more than a rightwing propagandist these days.

To be fair… She’s literally the authority on the matter.

There’s a famous phrase: power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. It’s guaranteed to happen. The theme is played upon in LOTR when both Gandalf and Galadriel refuse the ring, knowing what it will do to them. It’s the most important metaphor Tolkien put into the stories for a good reason. Peter Jackson made those moments stand out, as he also understood the assignment. Nobody is capable of resisting the call of corruption when given absolute power. You are not an exception.

It’s not even an unwillingness to admit ignorance: it’s the lack of awareness that there’s already a conversation.

This is the take-home point. They aren’t unaware there’s already a conversation. Their hubris compels them to believe they can answer these questions better than whatever the liberal establishment has come up with.

Remember how Nazi Germany tried to take over the whole world? There’s only one authoritarian playbook.

How could you forget Oscar Pistorius?

They don’t. You do.

Some bot accounts delete routinely so their behavior cannot be studied as easily.

They replace planks often on the USS Constitution of The SE US.

The models get 0% of the proceeds for one year and then 10% after that. After interviews and photos of the models, they get around to interviewing the CEOs of the companies doing this, and there’s an unchallenged narrative about why it’s fair and not exploitative. Shame on the BBC.

Ozempic changed everything. We’re not smoking drugs anymore.

And his wife VOTUS, whose acronym pronunciation is only coincidental.

These 2 do it all. And iVentoy if you want to try pxe

Demagogue is pretty close.

That was my next device too. I still have my Google G1 running some archaic version of CyanogenMod (I think android 1.6 donut?). I want my next device to be a Linux phone with that style of keyboard.
