Exactly. Everyone likes to blame AI right now, but the actual reality is that everything has been getting more automated, centralized, efficient, etc. What used to be an entire office of people using typewriters and paper and pens and file cabinets is now a single SQL database with some code doing analysis and reports. What used to be an entire team of programmers and analysts can now be a handful of people using AI and pre built templates or software. AI is just the next evolution of an already existing story of evolving industries. Similarly 1 farmer in an ACed tractor can now sow and reap entire fields of food that used to be hundreds of people for days in the hot sun.

We don’t need to be afraid of the technology, but we also don’t want to move so fast that we lay off thousands of people all at once and they have no other job to go to.

We COULD, in theory demand that every worker that gets replaced by AI and laid off or fired in any way gets a retirement or UBI or something. Some small cut of their former paycheck, but we all know what is about to happen, the few executives at the top are going to fire more and more people and automate more and more things and collect all of the profits and wealth for themselves and leave the rest of us to starve. But that’s what the Republicans want, it’s the “pull yourself up by the bootstraps” party, which in practice just means screw you, I got lucky and got mine.

The only good thing about AI is that, in theory, anyone could train up their own ML system and profit off what it does. That does give the command person the potential to enter industries they didn’t before. Similar to the movable type printing press suddenly opening the way for more people to publish a book. Or the Internet opening the way for me to talk to you where we couldn’t have like this 40 years ago.

All of that to say, in a long way, we create more and better technology and tools as a species, it’s what we do. We need to embrace that, but also be mindful of what we are creating and for what purposes. Splitting the atom can provide power to entire cities or destroy them. So too could AI provide something good for mankind, but could also destroy.

Bring a bigger group.

Whoa now. That’s dangerously close to sounding reasonable. We don’t do that here.

Be careful though, emergency dissolution of the Senate is exactly how Palpatine gained power. There has to be a careful plan and new system ready to go and not just fall to the one person it shouldn’t.

I know it’s fiction, but just saying. Dissolving it is one thing, but having a coherent plan is another.

But we can’t afford to feed kids or have medical care or research for cancers and diseases or build housing for everyone.

But we can buy expensive bombs galore to drop on families and build concentration camps.

Neat.

So, when do we all stop paying taxes and stop going to work and bring the whole system crashing down to stop this madness?

I could sure go for some Ivermectin squeezed on top of a hotdog and washed down with some motor oil about now.

I don’t get why people blame Democrats so much. They are center-right wing. Their entire thing is to basically just maintain the status quo. And then everyone gets all mad when they do exactly that.

Stop voting for them and get a viable candidate campaign going before the final election. Other than removing FPtP voting and getting RCV or something similar, the only other way to actually see some change is getting so much support behind a leftist that by election season they are leading all the polls. And that starts years before election year. Like… NOW. (Assuming we still have elections by then, but let’s assume we will and push for something better.)

LMAO even our two comments discussing the very issue are being down voted. Good job proving our point guys…

“I didn’t like getting a paper cut, never doing that again, I’d rather get stabbed with a rusty sword next time.”

I’d argue they are the Gestapo. SS was military.

ICE is just a mob of gangsters doing hits and disappearing their rivals. They and their dear leader mob boss are committing more crimes than any of the people they claim are the criminals.

Several times now I have had my comments deleted for “hate speech” for criticizing political actions or calling out hypocrisy or blatant lies or misinformation.

Then a comment in that same post will be cheering and applauding and laughing at the inhumane and ethnic cleansing taking place. They will proudly say “I voted for this and hope they all suffer” and it stays.

I don’t care at all about my comments, per se, but it is depressing thinking how much that probably happens all the time. How many legitimate comments get removed because of a mod’s bias, while actual hate speech and misinformation stays.

Overthrow your tyrannical government, you won’t.
