Several reasons why we don't talk about British state oppression in Malaysia but one weird detail here is that the Malaysian Chinese anti-colonial resistance were branded bandits & terrorists for *insurance reasons* (avoiding UK gov having to do payouts to rubber firms instead of private insurers)

Elon Musk can't get humans to love him so he made a robot to love him instead and now all the humans are making fun of the robot. This is the smartest man in the world, a once-in-a-generation genius and clear member of the natural aristocracy

Elsewhere everyone’s laughing about Grok’s sycophantic answers about Musk’s intelligence and physical prowess, but the project is to make the truth too expensive (in terms of time and resources) for ordinary people to find. Most users will accept the ‘truth’ provided by the model owners.

We’re watching a shift where AI simulates the cohesion and reinforcement that used to require an entire online community. A single person can now build a complete parallel reality with nothing more than a prompt window. Which seems bad.

Not the first to make this point. But there is a tyrant in charge of another country who is accused of being heavily linked to a paedophile sex ring - and supposed ‘patriots’ in this country are passionately willing him to take down our national broadcaster. Madness.
