  • I literally don’t understand people having kids in this “climate”. That’s how cynical and hopeless I feel about humanity’s future.

    I wouldn’t want to inflict that… The heat, the natural disasters, the risk of nuclear wars. The genocides considering multiple were or are active at any point (Palestine, Syria…). The fall of journalism…

    Many things I discuss with my friends but nobody could ever dream to fix. So all this shit stays with you. And seeing how our politics are reacting to climate change, this is lost. Because everything else is pointless if you don’t have a place to live.




  • What I find surprising in the debate about AI and hallucinations is that everyone points the fact that’s it’s very dangerous and it will spread misinformation… But the problem is the inability or unwillingness to fact check our information.

    Nobody wants to fact check something they saw on meta or tik tok. Nobody will. There is no difference between someone trusting some random influencer and someone trusting an AI. They are both set to fail the same way. Both lack critical thinking.

    Instead of being afraid of AI and hallucinations we should be investing massively in teaching the newer generations on fact checking and critical thinking.

    IA is a great assistant but only if you can fact check it. If you can’t or won’t then it’s a terrible assistant that will set you up to fail.

    To be clear, I also struggle to fact check stuff and I definitely was misinformed many times in the past. Nobody is really immune to that problem. IMO IA doesn’t change much about that problem.

    Playing a bit of a devil’s advocate here but you could argue that AGI used in science could help fix climate change. For example what if AGI helps in fusion energy? We are starting to see AI used in the quantum computing field I think.

    Even though much carbon would be created to do bullshit tasks it only takes a few critical techs to have a real edge at reversing climate change. I understand fusion energy is quite the holy grail of energy generation but if AGI is real I can’t see why it wouldn’t help in such field.

    I’m just saying that we don’t know what new techs we would get with true AGI. So it’s hard to guess if on a longer time it wouldn’t actually be positive. Now it may also delay even more our response to climate change or worsen it… Just trying to see some hope in this.

    So what do you suggest? Keeping the moral high ground, losing election and letting Trump and his goons “benefit the people”.

    This is about choosing the lesser evil and picking politics that will stoop as fucking low as possible to be elected and then do very minor social reform to actually help Americans that are struggling.

    Sure it will still fucking suck but I would argue a lot less than applauding the losing democrats congratulating themselves for keeping an entirely worthless moral high-ground. If that moral high ground had any fucking value to the average American they certainly wouldn’t have re-elected Trump. Even with disinformation they all know he paid a pornstar to hide his vices and yet it just didn’t affect the slightest his campaign. Morality has absolutely 0 value in your political system. It’s valueless for your justice systems (you can pardon anybody, supreme court judges elected for life), it’s valueless for politicians since they can do anything and get away with it. Your supreme court explicitly said that Trump can order the assassination of anybody and get away with it. Is this a moral high ground? It’s the posture of a dictator and it helped him get elected.

    So I’d say keep your moral high ground and once this will be the last thing remaining to you, we shall see if you still hold the same opinion. I think you would think you should have fought dirty when you still had something of actual value.

    I have no problem with that pardon. I applaud Biden for this and hope the Democrats will stoop as low as the Republican and use every trick in the book.

    Pardon all your mates. Elect as many Supreme Court Judges. Encourage riots. Discredit opponents, never admit fault. Cheat everywhere you can.

    If the Democrats don’t start playing that game there will ironically be nothing left to save.

    Really Trump pardon much much worses crimes than this. If Trump could pardon the January 6 coup participants he definitely would have. And all the other Republicans would have followed in supporting it. Instead you get some dems taking the moral high ground and shitting on their own team. The Republicans are perfectly united in their lies. They tow the party line even when it’s a coup attempt.

    Just the “the McConnell rule” on its own is a great display on how dishonest the Republicans are. Rules apply only if they benefit them. Why on earth should the Democrats play fair when their opponents cheat all the way?

    Your political system doesn’t punish cheaters. So cheat.









  • Have you searched online at all?

    I think copy pasting your post literally to the dot on Google gives the result. (CBS news) :

    Harris and Trump have competing tax plans. Here’s how your paycheck would change under both.

    First result too. Amazing.

    Sometimes I wonder if people like you don’t see the disrespect in asking other people to do things you could do in a matter of seconds out of pure laziness.

    I obviously won’t link the article because I’m too pissed and I think you need to learn that people here are not working for you. This post is a literal waste of space and time.
