So after that massive power outage in Spain a few weeks back, I’ve been wondering a lot if we’re going to be seeing many blackouts and examples of our own power grids mysteriously being attacked during heat waves over the summer? Followed by no real answer about what happened, except maybe vaguely blamed on “Russians?”

Seems like a tactic this administration would use in order to crush dissent.

Well of course they did. What better way to show you’re above the law than to arrest judges and remove the people that exist to investigate your corruption?

I think it could be life changing, but true progress will take time, like any tech. There’s a reason most scientists know you can’t just throw money at something and just make it work. That’s why technocracy and the idea of chosen elite is so fucking dumb.

Imagine if in the 80s we had just said ok, Steve Jobs did it. We’re done here. We don’t give any outside voices or ideas in tech a chance unless Jobs gives it the ok first. Imagine how much cool shit we would have missed out on if people hadn’t just said fuck it I don’t need all that money, I’ll just make my own shit and make it work with what I have.

Innovation and progress does not flourish in a neatly controlled box, and most people that don’t just buy other people’s work know that. That’s the real reason people started pushing for DEI. Not just bc it was the “PC” thing to do. It helps bring new perspectives which then leads to new ways of thinking and problem solving.

If you completely isolate AI you may get some cool shit but eventually if you just buy out the entire market to fit your singular vision you get repeating/boring and stale.

I’m pretty sure they think they’re at a point where if they just keep throwing money at it, it will just start getting creative and update itself, but when it’s as unreliable as it is, I don’t see that happening anytime soon

I’m not saying I believe its important, the president believes it’s important bc Thiel has been funding him and making policy decisions since his first term, most people (myself included) just didn’t notice it until the second one.

The first time, he tried to promote AI deregulation while insisting we would retain American values that helped us be better than China’s surveillance state, but then Trump lost power and Thiel lost 4 years of progress at the global AI table because of those values (democracy and the constitution). Now that he’s gotten his seat back he’s not going to risk ever letting it go. IF he ever intended to try to maintain or respect those values before, he certainly doesn’t now.

That is why the truth behind Trump/JD Vance/Adrian Vermeule’s argument for a constitutional interpretation of strong executive authority needs to be made loud and clear.

I cannot comprehend how anyone who is not already a billionaire could be dumb enough to support this, but let’s just be honest about what you’re supporting.

Bc you’re paying attention and not sticking your head in the sand.

It feels like it bc they definitely are. I’m in Louisiana and just woke up to find out news my corrupt Governor is being accused of scheming to install a new senator so that he can then have them resign and take both Senate and governor seats for himself.

Report: President Trump and Gov Landry discuss U.S. Rep Julia Letlow as a potential challenger to Senator Cassidy in 2026 Republican primary

One of several examples of how Landry and Trump seem to be scheming together to be as corrupt as possible

Even for Louisiana that’s a whole other level of corruption…not even the first Louisiana governor to do it, but the last one was in the 30s.

The last governor that was this blatant about corruption also had a personal vendetta against my city and tried to take it under siege using the national guard

Guess what else the current governor and his doge inspired task force are scheming

Same! We moved to a place with well water when I was ~5 and my parents made me use the fluoride rinse

I hated it bc it was like an extra step, but I was literally the only kid in my school to never have cavities even though I would try to skip brushing all the time. And yeah you called it with the executive dysfunction, but didn’t find out I had ADHD until I was an adult

Lol you read my mind

it was an automatic response and then as soon as I hit enter I was like… Nah better delete. Part of me regrets it but easier than having to explain it if somebody hadn’t seen the scene and took it the wrong way

I agree, and as I keep trying to point out to people in the U.S., I’m pretty sure the reason Trump is not even giving GOP loyalists emergency disaster money when something happens in their state, is because there’s nothing left.

He literally put all of America’s eggs in one basket because he (and Peter Thiel) thought/think if they just deregulate everything and keep throwing money at it as fast as possible they will win, and other countries will be coming to us to buy our AI.

Tbf they are definitely planning to use it for evil, not to make humanity better, but I still don’t see why anybody would buy AI tech from the U.S.

I am wondering what happened in Brussels though, that made them say they’re considering some deregulation.

Trump was also very pissy at all of the EU but apparently Brussels in particular really hurt his ego

Somehow this was never really picked up on/reported after Trump’s first term, but I try to spread this information as much as I can.

Trump’s CTO during his first term, was Peter Thiel’s protege. In March of 2020, Trump asked him to use cutting edge technology to fight COVID disinformation and track the spread of the virus before it got out of hand.

That’s also the guy he picked for his fucking science advisor this time around, and now he’s asked him to “blaze a trail,” for U.S. tech supremacy.

From the 2020 Hill article

The White House on Wednesday asked the tech industry’s top players to help the government in the fight against coronavirus, tapping the expertise of companies like Apple, Facebook and Amazon to help beat back falsehoods and use artificial intelligence to glean new insights into the fast-spreading virus.

In a phone call, U.S. Chief Technology Officer Michael Kratsios implored the companies to help out with an “all-hands-on-deck effort” to fight the new coronavirus.

“The White House’s top priority is ensuring the safety and health of the American people amid the COVID-19 outbreak,” Kratsios said in a statement. “Cutting edge technology companies and major online platforms will play a critical role in this all-hands-on-deck effort.”

Of course they fucking did. These shit bags have been planning this since Trump’s first administration.

My thoughts exactly.

I don’t know, I feel like writing online and telling the traitors to eat shit can be a therapeutic release that keeps you engaged and allows some emotional distance without full dissociation

The worst thing you could do is check out and accept defeat. Or go to a protest without your face covered bc they’re using Clearview to track people

Given the media is being silenced it’s one of the few tools of communication we have left that hasn’t been entirely hijacked by people screaming I <3 free speech and free markets while suppressing both bc they know that in reality they would never survive a press or market they couldn’t control and manipulate

You saw Peter Theil partnering with the Heritage Foundation in 2016? I have to say I’m impressed, fuckface.

Maybe keep in mind the strategy is to overwhelm and traumatize people so they eventually check out/dissociate.

Its not saying everything will be ok, don’t worry, it’s saying don’t let yourself become overwhelmed with the horrors of every battle. It’s going to be happening a lot.

Not bad advice really bc total burnout/checking out is the quickest way to lose the war

Somebody offering some words of comfort or encouragement is way less harmful or dangerous than telling people resistance is futile, so they should just give up and curl into a ball…

I think there are plenty of people that give a fuck about the constitution, but we need to really start thinking about what makes a country. Is it the people or an executive cabinet?

I am about 90% sure the heritage foundation has had this planned since the 80s, and used Post Soviet Russia as a test run. Here is more information about why I believe that if you’re interested

It’s a question of who really wants us to become an officially privatized corporation? Even if we have no say in that, we should ask why we are being treated as consumers of their product?

They seem to have no plans to stop taxing poor people, so either we stop paying federal and state taxes and only invest in our local communities, or we start acting like angry shareholders fed up with how the board is running the company.

Yeah and like any intimidation tools, sometimes you get your desired goal, a lot of times you get false confessions/false positives, and sometimes if the guilty person really knows what they’re doing, they get off scot-free.

Then the people you’re using the intimidation tool against become even more resentful, distrustful, and skeptical of your leadership capabilities, even if they’re scared or intimidated by you.

Not that I would expect anything different from these people, but I guess just goes to show money can’t really buy strategic or critical thinking skills.

Bring Phrenology back to our country!

“You have the sloping brow of a common criminal.”

Also, if you meet one asshole in the morning, you met an asshole. If all day, all you meet are assholes, then you’re the asshole.

It’s one thing if you got one leak in one department, if you got multiple leaks in multiple departments, maybe the issue isn’t the fucking leakers!

Rarely there are also people who don’t even have a detectable physiological reaction even if they are guilty.

Best case scenario, you risk framing a bunch of people who didn’t do shit, except get nervous bc an authoritarian regime hooked them up to a lie detector test, in order to find the person who tried to place their country above themselves. There’s also a chance that person doesn’t even get caught with the lie detector test bc it’s such a bullshit technology.

Why not just have a psychic come in and start reading tea leaves? Or better yet just put some names on a dart board and blind fold the dart thrower to figure out the leaks? Fucking dumb sacks of shit.
