Technically the first person to beat the shit out of Gabriele D’Annunzio was the first person the physically fight fascism

I get emails and scam phone calls asking me to sell the last house my parents owned when I lived there, they sold that property 4 years ago

Why has this fact been trending lately, seen it in several other places this week

“Sup fucker”

It’s definitely a major component of it

Elon needing to use an AI to engage in a creative activity is the perfect microcosm for the actual problem with how what they are calling “AI” is implemented. I don’t want to see a game made by AI, maybe using it for coding some of the underlying mechanisms but even those I think are made more interesting by a human solving a problem in an innovative way. Not only that I don’t want to see a movie, watch a tv show, read a book, or contemplate a piece of art created by AI in part or whole.

Those are all things I engage with because another human being with a different human experience created it themselves and in the process of creating they’ve actively engaged with their own perspective. The business goblins that are shoehorning it into everything seem to think that humans just want the end product of a work of art because that’s all dumb business goblins want and can conceive of. But if I wrote a book by giving an AI a prompt, I didn’t write that book at all, it barely even qualifies as a book

I want AI to do spreadsheets, automate scheduling coordination, cleaning, laundry, bills, taxes and all the other mind numbing tasks that come with our modern lives. They are doing it backwards

Sounds more like performance art/prank in the form of a video game, like something Andy Kauffman and Banksy would create together, but I’m still here for it

Serious question, best way to stop paying income taxes?

I’m getting my 3 year old nephew two things now but nobody else is getting shit cause I ain’t buying anything else but food and seasonings for said food

I’m not letting my guard down until it’s over, he could just be worried the Christian nationalist take control instead of his butterfly revolution tech bros

That’s not how civil wars work anymore, it’ll be akin to a Balkanization where there are multiple different factions, upstart states, militias and insurgencies. The second will be nothing like the first. The Syrian civil war is a decent smaller scale modern example

Edit: if you’d like a good idea of what it will look like I HIGHLY recommend the fist season of the excellent podcast It Could Happen Here by Robert Evans. It’s from 2019 but wildly prescient

We’re already in the first throes of the Second American Civil War, we just haven’t started calling it that yet

Edit: throws to throes because I’m a dumb southern hillbilly
