Remember how people said it was unrealistic in the Alien franchise that the rich and powerful would have amazing unbelievable tech, while 99.99% of the population got by on 1980s tech that still had vacuum tubes and monochrome screens?

I know it was a retcon to explain the tech in the first movies, but they might be on to something.

There’s only so many rare earth materials for high tech shit, and the wealthy are going to drive prices up to the point they’re the only ones that can afford it.

1. Humans

2. Understanding what modern “ai” is

It all starts with a little bill call the Telecommunications act of 1996…

And yeah, loads of people said it would lead to this shit.

But Silicon valley gave a shit ton of money to the Clinton’s for the Internet part, and telecoms for the part doing away with monopoly regulations.

It’s because we’re just pattern recognition machines and a false positive is better than a false negative.

So if an act might result in a positive or avoid a negative, it’s safer to just do it anyways. Giving people who get neurotic about it enough of an evolutionary advantage that it’s still relatively normal human variation.

Maybe the environment changes to where that OCD behavior is really advantageous, then the rabbit rabbits will inherit the earth.

The solution is simple: Everyone everywhere needs to classify Xitter as a porn site

I think a large part of it’s popularity has become the porn, because it passes all those filters. Especially since Musk backed conservatives are blocking porn in red states, but as far as I know, never twitter.

Treat it like a porn site and lots of Republicans need to give up their ID to show they’re old enough. They can’t VPN around it because social media hates VPN

But that doesn’t leave many options for the victims. Maddie, who said she’s a 23-year-old pre-med student, woke up on New Year’s Day to an image that horrified her. On X, she had previously published a picture of herself with her boyfriend at a local bar, which two strangers altered using Grok.

I’ve thought a lot of things would kill twitter…

But if every time a woman posts a picture of herself, and neckbeards reply asking twitter AI to sexualize her, and the AI responds right there with it where everyone following the original account can see…

I truly don’t understand how or why any women are still using it.

Still, on the long list of shit we need to fix with America, fixing the patent system is a big one.

Large corps buy them like lotto tickets and try to patent anything and everything they can.

Look how long WB has sat on the Nemisis system because they got a patent a decade ago on it. It wasn’t really a unique idea, but thousands of games have been prevented from doing anything similar.

How could you think this would be a better way to find out than just asking her what she meant?

Also, weird as fuck to be throwing yourself in drama like that, but as least your friend will find out your super messy if they haven’t. If they already knew, this is what they signed up for anyways

I mean, there’s a shit ton of variables…

You need to look specifically for people going from your current country, and the destination will change a lot of things.

Sometimes it’s very easy, other impossibly difficult.

You’ve edited this comment at least 3 times since I’ve replied, each time with more random shit that doesn’t make any sense. You just keep thumbing thru a thesaurus and replacing words with bigger words you clearly don’t understad.

This is probably why your posts/comments don’t make sense. Stop trying to sound intelligent and focus on communicating your point. But I don’t have the patience to ever try and explain anything to you again.

Best of luck.

Literally the opposite of a turning test… Which it’s pretty clear you don’t understand those to begin with…

And has nothing to do with your post

Why are people upvoting that gibberish? Do they just don’t understand it and are blindly up voting?

That doesn’t make any logical sense because even very young children are adept at pretending not to be human…

Like, I know what you’re trying to say, I’m just struggling to understand how you think it’s sensical

I’ll admit that I don’t really know how that works, or how it’s enforced, or whatever

They almost always mean “economic sanctions”.

Cutting them off from “western banking”…

Essentially not letting them buy/sell any stocks in the western market.

Which unfortunately is headquartered in NYC, explaining why it’s the NY Stock Exchange.

There are others, Europe has 5 worth over a trillion each and some others, Asia has the NICA index. But the American NYSE is worth over 25 trillion. It’s the big one.

But trump personally would be very hard to sanction in other markets, because he’s so shady banking institutions usually won’t deal with him. It’s why he pivoted to crypto.

He does have some money in NYSE, but that’s overseen by the SEC, and trump won’t sanction himself.

Ironically what we’d see is tarrifs. America doesn’t make shit, and can’t afford to buy a lot of stuff now. So other big buyers can pressure the “producer countries” into marking up anything that goes in/out of America.

Always have…

If you’re over 145 (where a normal test stops), it’s only like 1 in 750, but it means you’re over 30 points above around 80% of the population.

30 points is the line where communication is noticably difficult.

Being smart is like being tall. A little over average is great, but once you’re statistically insignificant you’re still jammed in the same hole as everyone else even tho you clearly don’t fit.

Like, that was the whole point of the movie. It wasn’t a warning about the future it’s how an intelligent person has always viewed the world.

The drug abuse correlation with high IQ isn’t just “novelty seeking”, it’s actively and intentionally getting on everyone else’s level, at least for a little bit.

His leadership position was voted on before the DNC chair.

So his threats to cut off funding to the state of any Dems that wouldn’t back him still had some teeth.

It doesn’t now, mainly because the DNC immediately jumped into the largest twin esture into state parties, ever.

He’s been a lame duck all but maybe a month of this senate leadership term, and will almost certainly lose it next year.

If he doesn’t, it’s a bad sign.

What are you talking about?

There’s no American troops there now.

If you’re arguing there’s going to be a response or separate action in the future, yes…

That’s how time works, there’s always something happen, obviously something will happen next

When you get the time it’s worth reading up on, super interesting and I’m surprised there hasn’t been a big movie about it despite America being the bad guys.

That was an invasion, not a kidnapping.

The first hint is the situation was called “invasion of Panama”

Nah, Hawaii was an invasion, I believe the Queen was travelling to DC.

She left Hawaii as a queen and when she got to Hawaii to negotiate a treaty, she was told Hawaii was already an American territory

Approximately 24,000 troops descended upon Panama in December 1989, beginning a weekslong siege of the country that scattered the government and military officials.

That’s an invasion, not a kidnapping…
