Exhibit #5,000,000 that none of this has anything to do with efficiency.

It's just incredibly basic white Christofascism.

Anti-science, anti-life. Profoundly sadistic.

The people who claim they are going to protect your money would spend any amount of money to cause you even a little more pain.

@edcara.bsky.social @gizmodo.com asked me about the CIA reassessment claiming with low confidence that the pandemic began with a "lab leak."

I think a lot of the schadenfreude is specific to this particular economic boom/bust. People hate AI for lots of reasons, including energy/climate ones. Very different than celebrating Lucid or Rivian going bust.
