You are being influenced in ways that you don't even perceive by people that are actually your enemies, posing as your "friends".

Very good point and this is exactly why I encourage us to be patient and what we are being shown doesn’t look realistic, hence we do feel weird observing it.

Now imagine if we cared to fix problems holistically instead of simply focusing on the partisan owning of enemies.

Now imagine if we ever decided to vote for technical-minded politicians that are intellectually capable of understanding these issues beyond just partisan politics.

Yeah.

@mainelife.bsky.social unreal that you are still retweeting this actual Nazi? What hill do we have left to stand on when we choose to favor Nazis?
The illegal attack on Venezuela is not foreign policy; it’s gangsterism on an international scale.

The things the luddites cry about won't even be pertinent anymore in the coming years.

The internet inherently needs data centers (85% of data center use is related to the general internet), but AI doesn't "need" data centers at all. Nor does it "need" water, the other thing luddites doomsday about

Javad Safari, 15, Tehran. Say his name.

Killed by the demonic Islamist dictators ruling Iran, because he stood in the streets for freedom.

May you remember him, and the freedom that 95% of Iranians dream of, as brave Iranians continue the fight to topple the evil regime.

We are now paying $1 trillion just in yearly interest alone.

That is an average of $3,000 per person per year, in interest alone.

Total US debt now surpasses the GDP of the entire country. Both parties choose to continue burying us instead of tightening our belts like Jimmy Carter said.

In 2020, interest payments on the national debt totaled $345 billion. Now that amount has just about tripled

And some people in SoCal have not yet learned that famine, depression, violence, etc that have gripped Venezuela for many years now solely as a result of Maduro, are far worse things than having to stock up on toilet paper & eggs.

Reality can never be crazy enough for many people. There is always a need to reach for the fantasy.
I wonder if Balaji's death truly was a suicide. He quit OpenAI citing they were going to violate copyright laws and use AI to harm society.

He did an interview with NYT about it.

Now, he's dead.

Your toaster is colluding with your coffee maker to detach you from reality.

Marco Rubio is being saddled with the Venezuela issue, according to Bloomberg. Somehow Marco alone is going to control all of Venezuela through his words. Or else!

This was posted on a lengthy thread about disinformation.

Is it not telling that this account is also retweeting other known disinformation accounts like the one pinned in my profile. I knew it looked familiar 😆
The Venezuelan’s elected a woman president last year. Is the government going to be turned over to her or are we going to run the country and steal their oil?
