  • Bigger picture: The whole way people talk about talking about mental health struggles is so weird. Like, I hate this whole generative AI bubble, but there’s a much bigger issue here.

    Speaking from the USA, “suicidal ideation” is treated like terrorist ideology in this weird corporate-esque legal-speak with copy-pasted disclaimers and hollow slogans. It’s so absurdly stupid I’ve just mentally blocked off trying to rationalize it and just focus on every other way the world is spiraling into techno-fascist authoritarianism.






  • What are they supposed to do? Kill trump? I guess they could take out the supreme Court while they are rampaging.

    I mean, yeah? Every day they waltz into a room full of genocidal maniacs wielding the world’s most powerful military and most widespread surveillance networks - a room which I would be immediately attracting suspicion by just attempting to enter. These power-hungry maniacs are laughing in our face because they know people will shrug and roll over as they write the “Keep Power Forever” bill.

    I know most people will roll their eyes at this, but think for a second – our laws have been overturned, our way of life has been destroyed. We’re living in the husk of a society that is literally being bulldozed, and you expect poor, disabled, and otherwise vulnerable USAmericans to shrug and say “well they can’t legally do anything”? While our lives are destroyed?

    The truth is, Democrats’ real chance to stop this was in the decades before, during which they deliberately did not act, with leadership and politicians alike choosing to enrich themselves by bending to corporations; allowing the standard of living in this country to become absurdly intolerable; fostering wealth inequality worse than that of pre-Revolution France; watching us die while keeping this dog-and-pony show going to keep us all distracted.





  • The way that all this “AI” processing has been trained, it almost always fails for anyone who doesn’t fit the white middle-class aesthetic. Voice-to-text generative AI processing will screw up for people with accents, including non-native speakers; also someone who slurs their words, or talks in African-American Vernacular English. Also, it requires someone to know how to speak and listen in a language. Clicking on icons and inputting commands is the same regardless of what language you speak. This just reeks of out-of touch nepo-baby executives.











  • I recall that happening, but I would note that the division in the Republican Party was between MAGA and the “Tea Party” fiscal conservatives, the latter of which have all been branded “Republican In Name Only” and cast out. This division was also why the MAGA plan to refuse to certify the Electoral Vote on Jan 6th, 2021 failed. I’m not talking about the insurrection – there was a genuine argument being made to try to overturn the electoral votes of several key states that voted for Biden, with passionate arguments made for and against completely rigging the election in Trump’s favor.

    That speaker debacle was during Biden’s term, after the ousting of Kevin McCarthy specifically because Kevin McCarthy was one of those fiscal conservatives. The Republicans did eventually elect Mike Johnson, and I don’t see him getting kicked out any time soon.

    We can not cling to this vision that the Republican Party will collapse in on itself. It’s a nice thought, but us waiting around is exactly what our rulers want. There are US Military soldiers and secret police agents on our streets right now – Today – trafficking people right now. Every day that we continue to play this routine, participating in the corporations and institutions that engineered and empowered this crisis, the USA and the corporations and the Christian Nationalists all get what they want.

    A General Strike could put some strain between the corporations and the politicians, but that’s a movement that each of us must partake in. Right now, big business including Silicon Valley, as well as the Christian Nationalists, are quite content with the status-quo.
