@davidgerard @ChrisMayLA6 @pluralistic @ludicity The really dark one which the #TESCREAL whackjobs need to have tattooed on their foreheads, though is:
"Memento mori" == "Remember: you'll die too."
And, not Latin, but for the cynical, sneering people trying to undermine human agency, professionalism, creativity, and exceptionalism with Generative AI right now: "You can clone the artisans, but not the art." -- Gerben Wierda

I’ve been reading stuff about the genuine #reality, stuff that sounds like The Onion on crack or a supervillain jumping straight out of a completely absurd script. Should I focus on real, dry reality, and how it would look like? Like a sugar-coated muffin or a musty, unironed shirt with tomato sauce stains?
Let me take you on a reality travel https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/e8a0beae-5d7c-49a4-a3ce-66f732419a3c

Match Cuts 3: Beam Me Up, Scotty!

Am I still here, or have I already left? Do I want to stay, or let me beam away? Just in the last few days, I’ve been reading stuff about the genuine reality – stuff…

@adfichter BTW, I'm even more shocked how platforms like Businesswire try to get the full praise / public relation junk to media: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260415376479/en/Top-VCs-Back-Aron-DSouza-to-Launch-Objection-An-AI-Judge-for-Investigating-Media-Claims
I'm sure that many journalists won't investigate further and repeat that dangerous 💩 .

These men think they are a gift to the universe. Beware their #TESCREAL agenda* projects - we are just fodder for their weird dreams (our nightmares).

The men who rule Palantir are classic products of Western culture. Thiel, Karp, Trump, Musk, Zuckerberg etc. etc. are the refined result of a genocidal and ecocidal culture that swept out of Europe to devour the world. We must understand the core cause of why we have entered the Sixth Mass Extinction. White men are the fanatical drivers, full of their puffed up ego and vanity and blood lust for violence and the destruction of all that is gentle and kind. White men think themselves civilized

I was too curious and clicked. This is not only fishy, this is against all ethics, democracy, it's criminal, evil ... like from a super villain film. It's like The Onion on crack. It's like a certain president bellowing in a padded cell.

Attention, when you click: You’ll be catapulted into a parallel universe where Thiel’s fanboys show that they want only one thing: to destroy the world we’ve painstakingly built.

Palantir CEO Says Legalizing War Crimes Would Be Good for Business

Palantir CEO Alex Karp recently rhapsodized that US air strikes on Venezuelan civilians would be good for business, if only it were legal.

Futurism

Anyone else got right wing terrorist vibes from reading the Palantir manifesto? Breivik and the company? The difference being, Palantir has made their manifesto public before it is too late (it is late, but a lot is still salvageable).

Probably one of the best AI documentaries out there, not just a cult fight between doomers vs boosters.

@glitzersachen that "program" goes by the term #TESCREAL

 Software freedom advocates who have shapeshifted into "AI" boosters would be well served to pause and reflect upon their underlying value system (espoused vs. actual) before continuing to advocate for supporting the plunder of our public resources to further enrichen billionaires.

😞 I won't hold my breath.
