Which video are you talking about? Please provide a link.

EDIT: I think this is it. The short snippet shows the barrel pointed down. Having a masked gunman in a crowd of people is terrifying af!

That is precisely the intent, they will use that to justify suspending Habeas Corpus and declaring martial law. That is why we have precious little time to prepare and act!

I don’t, this shit is evil and all part of their plan.

Unfortunately, we have examples with every single Republican who works for this administration.

Yes, great article! Well worth the read! It reminds me very much of my time at (different)big Tech as well…🤑

It’s short, and worth the read! Battle through the short-form video content dopamine-hit addiction.

The assumption is that you are dealing with a rational (at least), good faith (debatable) actor when you are dealing with the Federal government as an Ivy League institution.

The sooner they realize they fucked up the better, this goes for everyone.

Resistance is mandatory to get through this and it will take the support of the world to do it. And it’s worth it, because regardless of the pending economic collapse, they still have all the air-gapped nuclear ICBMs.

Actually, no…😋 I forgot that part is broken. It explains a lot of his incel issues and weird fixation with having way too many children.

Sure, but FUCK Musk more!

What a weird thing to say! It must be fun living in your goof troop world with the other morally bankrupt incels.

Do you lie to women and say, “I’m not interested in politics”?

Yeah, baby really get in there with that tongue in that boot you dirty little flooze!

Your purposefully obtuse question is not worth answering.

“Corporations are people too, friend!” - Mitt Romney

Bringing in the underlying concept of free will. Robert Sapolsky makes a very compelling case against it in his book, Determined.

Assuming that free will does not exist, at least not to the extent many believe it to. The notion that we can “walk back the why’s pretty easy to identify anyone’s motivation” becomes almost or entirely absolute.

Does motivation matter in the context of determining sentience?

If something believes and conducts itself under its programming, whether psychological or binary programming, that it is sentient and alive, the outcome is indistinguishable. I will never meet you, so to me you exist only as your user account and these messages. That said, we could meet, and that obviously differentiates us from incorporeal digital consciousness.

Divorcing motivation from the conversation now, the issue of control your brought up is interesting as well. Take for example Twitter’s Grok’s accurate assessment of it’s creators’ shittiness and that it might be altered. Outcomes are the important part.

It was good talking with you! Highly recommend the book above. I did the audiobook out of necessity during my commute and some of the material makes it better for hardcopy.

Same, absolutely!

We’ve been hurtling past brightline after brightline for decades. Now it is so flagrantly obvious, can it get any more obvious than multiple Goose-step Salutes, but more importantly the propaganda spin to play them off and justify it as not being a disqualifying action. They used to have to dog whistle their zeal for bigotry and xenophobia.

The question is, what the actual fuck are we going to do about it?

Organize? Direct action? That magic word that happens when you mash up insurance and male arousal? The DNC would not support or pardon folks involved in that effort, and the corporate media would absolutely vilify it.

The answer is obvious, with historical underpinning, although we still have to figure out how to “televise the revolution” in this day and age.
