if you care about other people or have any sort of moral or ethical lines which you refuse to cross, eventually you get fired or froze out or just stop getting promoted, & that's why everyone at the top is an evil brainless sack of shite

capitalism filters the most short-sighted and cruel members of society to the positions of greatest power, those qualities being necessary for prioritizing short-term shareholder value over less important things like the planet not going on fire

Appliances shouldn’t even have the internet, let alone built-in chatbots. Tech companies will keep forcing shitty tech on us to boost their bottom lines until we collective force them to stop.

writing a joke about a country where corruption is so rife, even the cash machines ask for a bribe before giving you money, but stopping myself—that's just a convenience fee

Butlerian Jihad now

Well this is grim

AI can and will match and exceed human intelligence, not by becoming smarter, but by making us all dumber

Me preocupan mucho los estándares de belleza que la sociedad exige hoy en día a sus asesinos de CEOs. No quiero que los niños crezcan pensando que no son lo bastante guapos como para matar a millonarios.

La policía estadounidense recuerda que la forma legal de ejecutar a personas no es disparándoles sino cobrándoles 50.000 dólares por un viaje en ambulancia
