Well now I know one site to never use to check AI, because I wrote and stand by every fucking word.

In 1980, John Lennon was shot by a mentally ill man who was convinced to kill Lennon by reading Catcher in the Rye. If he had never read Catcher in the Rye, he most likely wouldn’t have killed John Lennon.

But it is not the fault of Catcher in the Rye. We don’t ban the book, or call the author irresponsible for writing it, because we recognize that the fault lies in the mental illness of the shooter, and that anything could have set him off.

The people who kill themselves because an AI Chatbot told them to are mentally ill. It is their mental illness that killed them, not the chatbot. You can make the claim that if it wasn’t for the chatbot, they wouldn’t have gone through with it, but again, you can say the same thing about Catcher in the Rye. Getting rid of the trigger does not remove the mental illness.

There is a lot to hate about AI. A lot of dangers and valid criticism. But AI chatbots convincing people to kill themselves isn’t a problem with chatbots, it’s a problem with the user.

I get it, grieving families will look for anything and anyone to blame for suicide except the victim, but ultimately, it is the victim who chose to kill themselves. If someone is convinced to kill themselves from something as stupid as an AI chatbot, they really weren’t that far from the edge to begin with.

Paper tags arent as easily damaged.

I’ve gotta wonder… How expensive are these little networked e-ink displays? Probably not super expensive, but they’ve gotta be more than a paper price tag. Definitely more of a hassle to replace when someone breaks them by running into them, accidentally snapping them off, etc…

I would rather be a correct asshole than a polite idiot. You aren’t upset I’m an asshole, you’re upset because I called out the idiocy of people like you falling for this post.

Stupidity is a BAD trait. It is BAD to be stupid. If you fall for obvious misinformation, it is because you have acted stupidly, that is a BAD thing. People deserve to call you out on it because you should feel BAD for being stupid. Our society used to do this regularly and idiots learned to shut their fucking mouths and be ashamed of their stupidity.

And I will politely ask you to fuck off the internet entirely until you can recognize fiction from reality. Your kind of stupidity is what’s ruining everything.

How? Please spell it out. And remember, calling out idiots is not a conservative trait. Getting upset at idiots is not a conservative trait. Blindly accusing people who don’t say things you like of being conservative because you just can’t fathom the possibility of someone not blindly believing and supporting fake bullshit IS a trait of a fucking idiot.

Valid criticism of stupidity that goes against the hive mind message? Must be a conservative! Definitely not someone who’s fed up with people, supposedly against misinformation, continuously falling for the dumbest shit imaginable!

Oh yes, and thank God we are talking about a completely made up scenario of Barron Trump getting drafted instead of unimportant things like the war itself or the Epstein files. Wouldn’t want pesky things like that getting in the way of manufactured outrage for dumb shits like you to lap up.

Oh I know! Let’s follow it up with an article about how MAGA is totally about to turn on Trump! Or maybe an AI generated image of Trump yelling at Hegseth? Oh I bet he’s big mad about that one! Who cares about reality as long as it sounds good and reinforces the pathetic-ass beliefs of the idiotic masses?!

Idiots. You are all fucking idiots. Yes, you; from OP to every single person in the comments. All of you are too fucking stupid to spend even 30 seconds reading past the most bullshit, click-bait, headline of all time.

No one is talking about reinstating the draft. No one is talking about specifically excluding Barron Trump. Do you dumb fucks want to know what this article is actually about?

IF the draft DID get reinstated (despite literally no one considering it), Barron Trump MIGHT get exempt because he TECHNICALLY falls outside the maximum height requirements (no special treatment, just the actual limits already defined and laid out).

That’s it. That’s fucking it. No nepotism. No potential draft. Just complete made up horseshit. It’s like saying “If we made drinking milk mandatory for people who are younger than 18, Baron Trump might be excluded because he’s older than 18.” Like, no fucking shit. That’s not a news story, its like a hypothetical a child would come up with.

All of you need to go look in a fucking mirror and rethink your media literacy, because it’s fucking garbage. You fucking idiots.

Yea, I can just imagine OpenAI is really struggling with their business decision.

On the one hand, they have multi-billion dollar contracts with the US Military that will make them all fabulously wealthy beyond their wildest dreams.

On the other, they have a handful of individuals leaving that might amount to a few thousand dollars of lost revenue.

Gosh, it must sure have been a tough choice.

Expanding on the Latinos for Trump thing, lots of white liberals seem to be shocked at the levels of rightwing support from the Latino population. They speculate (wrongly) that it’s due to Cubans in Florida; and while that group does support the right, it’s not because they remember their time in Cuba and hold a grudge against communism.

No, the issue is one that has been around a long time now and has been completely ignored because most people don’t speak Spanish. Almost all mainstream Spanish media, from shows, to news, to social media has been far, far, FAR right for decades now. Like, it makes Fox News look like MSNBC.

And the language barrier is a 2 part issue. Not only are English speaking liberals completely unaware of how bad the propaganda is, but people that are only fluent in Spanish don’t hear any alternatives. All they get is the propaganda, there are no other sources. You tell them about the horrible stuff Trump or the GOP has done and they look at you with a blank face. They don’t hear about it, because it’s never reported for them. And people on Spanish social media tend not to talk about it for the same reason.

The rot is deep. Very deep. Telemundo and Univision have completely fucked the Latino populace by hiding reality from them and pushing pro-billionaire messaging.

Yea, he better watch out or he’s gonna get a $6000 fine instead of $5000.

Because it has ad blockers built in, has Tor built in, blocks trackers by default, and is very upfront and open about how they use your data if you choose to let them. A big part of what this article misses is that the feature is opt-in. It is turned off by default. Some people are weird and want personalized ads, in which case this feature is a hell of a lot more secure than other browsers who have to opt-out of tracking and don’t give a shit about your PII.

Oh wait, I forgot where I was. Umm, I mean… Brave bad! Bad browser!

Because, shockingly, Discords user base is not made up of people hyper focused on tech and decentralization and open source software. It’s mostly people who just want to play video games with their friends.

And if all your friends are hyper focused on tech and decentralization and open source software, they should have no problem switching!

If, on the other hand, you have friends who fall into the rest of the 99.9% of society, they will react like you suggested they replace all their meals with raw potatoes.

Every time I see a picture of a quantum computer, it just looks like a bunch of Galileo thermometers bundled together. So maybe you’re on to something lol

This shit is exactly how things were reported in the runup to the 2024 election. Even if they don’t fuck with the elections, I am confidently predicting the midterms are not going to be a blowout like people are hoping.

The Dems might, might, barely squeeze out a majority in the House. And then starts the age old game of having to capitulate to the 2-3 congresspeople who say they’re Dems but vote with the GOP every time.

Not a snowballs chance in hell of Dems winning the Senate.

People are going to be hit with a truck of reality come the mid terms. Not that they’ll learn anything. Next election will be the same shit of “we’re totally going to win guys!” before fizzling into nothing.

If you are hoping for the midterms for justice to be served against this administration, keep dreaming. It’s not going to happen. Ever. Trump will die before he ever sees the inside of a courtroom regarding Epstein. No matter who the next leadership is, they’ll choose to move on without giving any consequences in the name of “unity”.

And the people will grumble, and ultimately do absolutely nothing about it.
