Yes.

This was FASCINATING, no sarcasm, thank you for the link— I’m kinda floored by the story

thank you!! for real. if I’m semi-blindly following someone & they’re a fkg monster I appreciate knowing that I need to not follow them & in fact do the opposite

Ugh, that’s awful, and I believe that, but it’d be great to see a link, since I’m reduced to using Kagi obv

Conflicted! Cory Doctorow just endorsed it & I’m way less smart than that person so i usually do what they say :\

Ma dai what a logical fallacy laden answer. Idk which one cause I aint that sharp but you know well you’re trying to smudge the point

Sorry to pile on but since we’re already splitting hairs: it’s the phrasing that pushes it over into xenophobia. A better way might be for example “the CEO is shady. A Belorussian, [name] is…”. But combined in the same noun phrase - “a shady X” - puts it past whatever fine line we’re debating

I know, I’m all writing a bad sci fi premise over here. Probably shouldn’t contribute to whatever they are building

Just a goofy theory but I’m thinking the (coming) trillionaires just want real-enough “humans” who take up a lot less space & resources for whatever post-climate-genocide world they’ll construct & pretend they “saved” humanity. AI-generated non-people will be good enough for them: they can’t stand the real thing.

They’ve unleashed the storm, they’re buying their expensive bunkers, & they’ll have far fewer of us to deal with when they creep back out after.

Or maybe they’ll pass laws that let everyone’s AI doppelgängers spend their money for them! Goofy theories.

I mean, that IS how they think 🤷‍♂️

agreed. sounds propaganda-ey. also sounds kinda like that other run-on sentence post in privacy recently about how being concerned rUiNs yOuR sOCiaL liFe 🙄

My guy, you can’t fool us, we know accounts like you exist solely for this. only question is are you paid by your corporate owner or your local government’s intelligence agencies?
