Plenty of money to imprison and torture people. Not so much for lunches for poor kids though.

He made some sensible comments and uttered this absolute horror:

Elon is the singular solution I trust. I trust his mission to extend the light of consciousness.

I figured out it was Linux, but couldn’t tell if it was cloud hosted or something weird like that

After looking over this page, I wasn’t really able to figure out what Zorin OS is

Maybe Elron could get Starships to stop blowing up constantly and then work on that.

Yes, the term “AI” is ridiculous at this point.

That does happen, but mainly through automated mass means like phishing and ransomware. Individuals also get targeted by tactics like romance or finance scams. I think you could probably see how a large corporation would be a more lucrative hacking target worth a lot of dedicated time vs. one individual.

That many people don’t think at all is the position I’m taking.

People who speak in meaningless corporate bullshit lingo and phrases, for one.

I’m guessing it’s straight into the military

Can we also select to not call a large swath of humanity conscious or intelligent?

I had a gf who considered herself Christian. Not someone who talked about it a lot, but I guess she has some belief. I have a fairly negative view of organized religion in general. She really wanted to start going to church and I was um, wow, sounds horrible. She looked around found a church with surprisingly cool people - not at all bible thumpers, or full of pretentious nonsense, hell and brimstone, none of that. They support LGBTQ, operated a homeless shelter, gave sermons about pro-abortion rights and astronomy. I was pleasantly surprised. Still I ended up determining that I didn’t want to wake up at 7:30 each Sunday to go there. I figured out that she viewed church more as a social club and some sort of tradition from her family.

If it was someone drastically different, like talking constantly about reading the bible and telling me I had to convert and basing half their life around it, absolutely not. I not only am not interested myself but I think it would illustrate some negative aspects of their personality that I don’t want to be around. I had a gf who owned a retail store and people would come in and tell her ridiculous stories about Jesus healing people when they were missionaries in Africa. Later she’d tell me and ask “Do you think that was true? Jesus really DID THAT?” and I’d have to be um… no. That lady sounds like a liar or a psycho, sorry. Not great for a relationship. It turned out it was just some feel-good thing for her. She didn’t read the bible or really know anything about scripture. Just thinking “magic jesus loves me” made her feel good. I’m only really vaguely religious but still I can’t respect that.

“Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Ah, the butt stuff tent. Legendary in Denver

really got to hand it to Trey Azagthoth lately

Those quickly became scripted and fake reality too, if any of them were ever even not that.

The communities like AITAH and relationships on reddit are completely cooked. There is so much AI nonsense and as noted, people completely eat it up.

Ugh. I used to have a “game” of play where I’d ask bartenders to make me not a delicious drink, but the most horrible thing they could come up with. I received some awful cocktails, but nothing as bad as this.
