We have all been proper f*cked.

[OGBuzz]

While they were trolling and gaslighting us about the evils of globalism, socialism, and communism they were picking our pockets and assuming total control over everything, now the "tech leaders" pretty much own the planet. Mark Zuckerberg's Meta is building Hyperion, a $200 billion AI Data Center in Louisiana which will be consuming as much energy as all of Manhattan. Elon Musk has a net worth of $850 billion, larger than the GDP of 176 of the world's 195 countries, yet he receives billions in government subsidies.
And I am still trying to figure out what all this AI is for other than surveillance on us all and shit videos all over the internet.
Unfortunately it's too late to reverse what's going on and today's world is not 1789 France.

[Walleye]

1. AI sounds like a scam to me

[PatSeg]

18. It really does

And I afraid that there are all kinds of repercussions that we can't begin to be aware of.

[lostincalifornia]

21. It isn't a scam, and that is the problem. A lot of jobs are being lost because of it, and a lot

more to come.

[magicarpet]

35. Blue collar jobs took a major kick in the teeth with the off shoring craze.

Now with Artificial Intelligence and robotics the remainder of blue collar and most of white collar jobs will go bye-bye.

If the bread lines get too long - they can just shoot us - and toss the bodies into a mass grave for eventual burial.

Making America Greater - than it has ever been before.

[progressoid]

2. I wish we could get MAGAs to understand that.

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

3. We may be closer to 1789 France than you imagine.

[OGBuzz]

5. It's the only logical conclusion.

[Ilsa]

12. A few big EMPs might slow them down.

And the rest of us as well.

[lastlib]

22. I'm almost ready to throw a few out there.....

It may be the only cure for this cancer--it's metastasizing too rapidly.

Where is our "Goldeneye"??

[TheProle]

15. In my experience

those who fetishize the French Revolution stopped reading after they gave Louis the chop.

[paleotn]

25. So we should just surrender quietly then?

Is that your solution? Dude, history rhymes, it doesn't repeat. But to see Elon swinging from a gallows might be worth some extracurriculars.

[TheProle]

30. Did I say surrendering quietly was my solution.... dude?

Can you point to the chart and tell me who is expendable so you can get your pound of flesh from Musk, dude?

[WarGamer]

32. Exactly...

The fantasy version of the French Revolution doesn't match up well with reality.

The revolutionaries ended up eating each other and that led to a new dictator, Napoleon.

Not to mention, the dirtbags desecrated French history including raiding the Tombs at Basilique St. Denis and emptying the ashes of 1000 years of Kings on the ground... Martel, Charlemagne... disgusting.

For every USA, there are a dozen France and Russias where the revolutionaries fucked up history.

[Wednesdays]

36. Yeah,

1794 was not a good year in France.

[malaise]

17. Ding ding

Across the planet too

[BH liberal]

4. How long before...

AI becomes Skynet? The Russkies have had a network nicknamed Dead Hand since 1985. It will automatically send the launch signals to missiles if the country's top leaders get killed in a pre-emptive strike.

[OGBuzz]

6. The AI bros only think in terms of their own life spans.....the rest of us don't count.

Sam Altman: "AI will most likely lead to the end of the world, but in the meantime there will be great companies created with serious machine learning."

[BH liberal]

7. Exactly! And what would be better...

than AI to administer Trump's Golden Dome anti-missile system? What could go wrong?

[OGBuzz]

9. AI will always make the smart decisions if you're out to annihilate mankind.

AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google chose to launch nuclear weapons in 95% of simulated war games.

[BH liberal]

10. Remember what Trump said...

after he was elected the first time and received his early briefings. "If we have them (nuclear weapons), why can't we use them?"

[OGBuzz]

14. I wonder what he meant by this comment just last week.....

Trump stated that if a ceasefire agreement is not reached soon, the world will "just have to look at one big glow coming out of Iran"

[PatSeg]

19. Like a young child with toy soldiers and guns

He just has to use them.

[The Madcap]

37. More like the Golden Dumb.

[FakeNoose]

11. Our only hope is that their old nukes aren't worth shit ... they're probably not any good ...

Probably.

[paleotn]

27. Never. You're being conned.

[BWdem4life]

13. It may not be 1789 France

But maybe someday a year willl be named after this generation.

No pressure cooker can contain continuously increasing pressure indefinitely.

[babydollhead]

16. Tech bros are man-shaped machines

No empathy, no humanity
Just machines

[debsy]

20. AI is taking over for us so they (the morbidly wealthy) can kill us all

They will have the world to themselves. Until, of course, the AI decides they don’t need the morbidly wealthy.

[paleotn]

24. BS

You're going down easy? I'm sure as hell not.

Plus, AI is as much a scam as it is substance. Don't be scammed.

[OGBuzz]

26. The humanoid robots they are developing scare the crap out of me...

and the 'morbidly wealthy' will turn them on us long before the robots eventually turn on their masters.
And in the meantime I am 100% certain that to a Musk, a Bezos or a Zuckerberg I am just a useless air breather.

[paleotn]

23. Heads on spikes are never out of season.

Stop being Debbie Downer and get out there and fight.

God, I hate defeatists.

[OGBuzz]

28. Yes I am a defeatist....after all, we couldn't even prevent Trump from winning a second term.

But I will chip in for guillotines when that time comes.

[Escurumbele]

29. "Unfortunately it's too late to reverse what's going on", no it is not late, what we need is a good government that

will do the right thing to protect its citizens by regulating AI and lots of other things.

Regulations are important, that is how Teddy Roosevelt made this country better, without him steel monopoly would still exist, railroad monopoly as well, food regulations would not exist...All we need is good government, we must vet the people we vote for to make sure the right people are placed in the right sits.

[H2O Man]

31. Seriously.

It can be changed, though not by way of channeling Eeyore's "what's the use?" philosophy.

[Greyhead]

33. I agree

Those data centers are just to keep tabs on all of us.

[somaticexperiencing]

34. I believe it's never too late and the spirit and will to create change and meaningful change will always to just that.
