When this moment happened, game theory made me have to turn against the tech leadership. They spent all that time on Rogan talking about how Biden made them censor covid. Only for them to roll over immediately to Trump's demands. They fought safety but rolled along with fascism.
If you think Economic Populism is bad, just wait, it's only getting going. And while, for now, their main sights are mostly on "Billionaires" it's only a matter of time before the threat of job loss and economic disruption makes every AI lab, researcher, employee, etc a TOP target. Obviously, AI is already very unpopular, but man, it can and will get so so much worse, unfortunately. Luddism has deep roots and, historically, is strongest during economic turbulence and shit's already getting shaky. There's probably a way out but it's gonna take the smartest minds of a generation to figure out how.

I think it's greatly undersold how much this moment completely sealed the deal that the current leadership in Tech could not be trusted on any level. They are willing to bend over backwards and literally rewrite our reality in service of a dictator for self-enrichment. Ghouls

I never thought that he would top when he once said that he enjoyed the prospect of having AI actresses in movies because he didn't have to disagree with the actresses politics or hymen
this might be the dumbest thing Tyler Cowen has ever said

Republican men think about being trans more than even trans people. This is a fact. If you're a Fox News viewer you think about trans people more than even the people who run transnews.com

"Step right up wayward youths. I'm giving out relationship advice. What are my qualifications? Well I wrote a lot of open source software back in the day" This is like a bit from the office or something. Bro has a face that you would have to bias out of sampling averages.

Beware. A lot of women who can't consciously pattern-match to sociopaths actually do recognize them because sociopaths make their cooters all tingly. This is why violent criminals often have multiple women on a string. Scrutinize her carefully for any signs that she's *attracted* to sociopaths. If she is, bail the hell out. I mean it.

But what do you do when the gangsters who broke into your house want your Bitcoin and have you tied to a chair like this?

"Why does Superman need a spacesuit? He can hold his breath for hours" Because he doesn't want to have to do that

Y'all won't acknowledge that this is power. Y'all won't acknowledge that this is how Black people help Black people. And worst is the presented alternative is that we all just become morally highfalutin service workers. These are Blacks that are finally making the system change

He was posting about wanting blood instead of compromise and I responded by saying that the last escalation of violence absolutely hit the right harder than it hit the left and he blocked me over it.

LOL a single twink obliterated Turning Point USA, gave every public speaker in the Rogansphere a mental illness and wobbled the entire youth conservative movement and these people still find the time and the audacity to post about the "coming storm"
