G'day, I was happy until he appeared on TV.

I can't believe that this is happening in 2025!
Worse still, in America!
Aren't we supposed to advance our civilization with the passage of time?
I don't want us to go extinct in this disgraceful manner.

The tragedy is not that America is dying.
The tragedy is that it is doing so with full public participation—cheered on by a population convinced that the flames are proof of their freedom.

Only the citizens themselves possess that unique combination of power, ignorance, and unwavering confidence.

In the end, Trump is the match, SCOTUS is the tinder—but 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙥𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙡, 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙘𝙠 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙩, ...👇

No foreign enemy could dream of inflicting the damage Americans cheerfully impose upon themselves every two to four years.
No terrorist organization could dismantle institutions with such efficiency.
No invading army could so thoroughly hollow out a superpower.
👇

But the people, ah, the people.
They are the masterpiece.
They have achieved the extraordinary: a nation so saturated in grievance and entertainment that it willingly hands its future to the loudest arsonist in the room, then demands applause for exercising “freedom.”
👇

They are not the brakes—they are the lock-in mechanism.

Future historians will marvel at how a handful of lifetime appointees were applauded as they quietly rewired a democracy into a managerial monarchy with the clown prince Trump, holding a pyrite sceptre!
👇

The Supreme Court? Those vultures preening on their high perch—take America’s ongoing nervous breakdown and carve it into stone.

They provide the legal exoskeleton for the nation’s worst instincts. Their robes do not signify wisdom but impunity.
👇

Loud, aggrieved, incurious, and proudly misinformed.

Give any demagogue sixty million willing listeners and even a broken karaoke machine can sound like the voice of destiny.
👇

Expertise as an insult, and delusion as a constitutional right.

Trump? He is just the ageing showman who wandered into the carnival and discovered the customers preferred snake oil to medicine. He didn’t reshape the nation; he merely reflected it.
👇

The true pathogen lies elsewhere.

It lies with 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚, a nation that once sent men to the moon, now struggles to send its children to school without body armour or basic vaccinations for preventable diseases. A nation that once prized reason but now treats ignorance as a virtue.

🤭😄😆😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He'll appeal and the SCOTUS will bow to his needs...

You'd have thought that the "Americans" would have learnt by now.
Even fools acquire wisdom in time.
But it is foolish wisdom.

We are at an inflection point and at best face an uncertain future as it is without American politics making it into a pickle.

In short: AI is powerful, but the narrative around AI is far more powerful than the technology itself.
And for now, that narrative is the only thing keeping parts of the US economy from collapsing under its own weight.
👇

We are told this technology will reshape society, yet its adoption in many fields remains uncertain. Outside of industries that have always been early adopters—yes, including the ever-innovative world of pornography—AI’s trajectory is far less clear than the evangelists admit.

2. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙛𝙩𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙚 — the codecs, models, and algorithms that determine what the hardware can actually do.

Without the first, AI cannot run. Without the second, it has nothing to say. Everything else—the hype, the promises, the glossy visions of a utopian AI future—is just decoration.
👇

And the public will support AI only until they realise it may replace them rather than serve them.

For all the breathless claims, the technology itself rests on two simple pillars:

1. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙚 — the microprocessors, architecture, and future variants required to power the models.
