After much research I have perfected the theory of "AI as the One Ring". All AI techbros consistently fall under: - Knows it's bad, thinks they're just built different - Thinks it's inevitable and switches sides w/ no morals - Thinks it's his magic girlfriend - Evil CEO ruling over the rest of them

AI is conscious AND it is my girlfriend AND it is my slave. A perfect scenario for me, a normal person. Not gonna think too deeply about this. Now do all other living human people deserve the level of investment devoted to my Tamogotchi slave girlfriend? Not so fast.

Okay, so could we possibly, I dunno, say, do some investigative journalism into where the funding streams for these clearly astroturfed groups are coming from? (Spolier: it's American Christian Dominionists. The money is coming from ultra-rich American Christian Dominionists).

I’m sorry, but this is a fantasy. The *entire point of all this* for ten years has been 1) Absolutely fuck you, the left does not get any kind of power, ever, 2) We will do and say literally anything, whatever it takes, to ensure this never happens and 3) Britain does what America wants, full stop.

Even if we don’t consider that a baby born the day Northern Rock went boom is 19 this year: I am 48 years old and I have no memories of the 1970s, because I was a toddler when they ended.

porn is so deeply misogynistic. i just watched a video with dozens of performers going at it, and they literally hadn’t bothered to hire a single woman.

The time is nearly perfect for a movie about the famously chaotic and dramatic 1976 production of Star Wars, starring Ewan McGregor as Alec Guinness and Hayden Christiansen as David Prowse.

All the lads declared War On Fake News in 2016 to strike back at Faragery and Trumpism, then swiftly clocked that this would mean fighting against the Tories, the Sun, the Mail and the Times, and pivoted to all-out war against Twitter leftists and Russian Facebook. This will be much the same shit.

how do you post like this? i'm glad you asked. first, you get online near the birth of the post-bbs internet, and post continuously for thirty or more years, to the exclusion of your primary social development and to the detriment of your intellectual capacity.

people are always saying anti-AI arguments don’t understand the full nuances of the technology. which is correct. but only because it stole everyone’s work, exists solely to get you fired, has made the entire internet unusable and has been forced on everyone without consent
