These people are becoming massively rich off destroying society with algorithms that isolate and radicalize everyone against each other.
Literally everyone is worse off because of it
it is only getting worse and they do not care because they all have bunkers.

The problem is not the tech. The problem is the people in charge of the tech (Altman, Musk, Zuck, Thiel, Sacks, etc) are all sociopaths.
New from 404 Media: ChatGPT told a violent stalker to continue running his misogynistic and threat-filled podcast despite the “haters,” and to visit more gyms to find women. The man stalked women in multiple states, including touching and following from work

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

Despite the fact that everything Trump does is designed to enrich himself and the billionaire cronies who paid hundreds of millions to get him elected, his greatest trick was convincing working class rural Christian white people that he’s one of them and on their side. bsky.app/profile/ronf...

this is also the kind of behavior a dystopian near-future fiction writer of 10 or more years ago would absolutely have had a mad president-king of the U.S. engage in right before the narrative’s action *really* kicked off
the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

the MAGA regime ultimately thinks of "crime" as "people we don't like existing in public" and a lot of people blithely agree with that idea even if they won't put voice to it themselves

the core issue here is that crime rates are down exponentially from where they were just a few decades ago:
you’re asking Democrats to make “effective plans to deal with crime” that *largely only exists in the deluded minds of brainwashed MAGAs, most of whom don’t live in cities*
you’re asking Democrats to make “effective plans to deal with crime” that *largely only exists in the deluded minds of brainwashed MAGAs, most of whom don’t live in cities*
While I agree with you that Democrats must stand up against this military takeover of our streets, opposition to this takeover must also be combined with effective plans to deal with crime. Like it or not, crime is a very salient issue for most American voters.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

I think they’ve turned against vaccines for the same reason they’ve turned against weather forecasting & broadband access & childcare tax credits: it’s an area where government investment has an obvious benefit for the public and thus must be eliminated to reduce trust in government’s abilities.
