themachinestopsCEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant
SanctusBecause most Americans with slack jaws hunch over their smartphone gawking at tiktok videos of people they hope to one day be but never will.
There’s probably a good analogy out there about addiction but I saw something flashy on my smartphone and got distracted.
Okay, so that helps no one.
Anyone else have any input?
read this webcomic, and then consider the reality that we’re living in both of those worlds.
it’s easy to dismiss politics, corruption, fraud, rape, pedophelia, and all the other atrocious things people are dismissing, when you have infinite scroll on your instafacetwitsnaptoktube feed, and you’re fishing for those likes and subscribes, baby!
Huh, so people honestly think that what that other guy was saying was helpful in the slightest? Fucking wild, okay. No wonder nothing is getting done. I’ll be sure to make useless comments in the future so I can get those likes and subscribes, baby. My b, fellers.
yea. here’s a helpful solution for you: go back to reddit
LOL
you in a nutshell:
whines about no one being “helpful”
does literally nothing helpful
Oh, you’re still going, okay. Enlighten me what I can do. I’ve been to protests, I’ve stopped shopping with certain stores, I’ve sent letters to local politicians. Enlighten me. What else should I do?
Just because I haven’t given you a time stamped notorized official judicial document of my every waking second showing what I’ve done to fight this - does not mean I haven’t done anything.
Pardon me for thinking that we’re well past making shitty little jokes about the situation that we’re in right now.
So enlighten me since you seem to know everything about me already. Tell me what I should be doing.
Tell me what I should be doing.
first step is to stop being a self-righteous insufferable asshole. that’ll go a long way towards engaging people in conversation. yea–i’m “still going” while everyone else is downvoting you. when you demonize people for saying anything that doesn’t fit your definition of “helpful,” you’re not doing anything but painting yourself as a prick.
i don’t have a step-by-step answer for what you, or anyone else “should” be doing, and no one here, or anywhere, does. but acting like you’re somehow entitled to this information from everyone including online-- sorry, but you’re doing nothing but alienating yourself from everyone.
i get the frustration. i want a solution too. everyone does. if being an insufferable sarcastic asshole works for you, then again, by all means go back to reddit where that shit is normal.
Did you actually post that so I would see it in my inbox and then delete it before the mods saw it?
yea. they’re nuking us. i stand by every word in that comment, and invite you to respond. go ahead
Nah, I’d rather not get banned for something as inconsequential as this. Shit ain’t worth it.

Bro, come on. People are glued to their phones the same reason you’re glued to your computer.
The outside world fucking sucks unless you’re a scammer or rich enough to be scammed without noticing it.
It’s free to be on our devices, which is why most people are doing it. Everything else costs money that people straight up do not have.

Blah, blah, blah. If you can tell me how to un-fuck this nation in a way that will actually wake people up, I’m all ears. But the way I see it, these things were insidiously marketed to the whole country slowly and incrementally, like frog in a slowly warming pot of water. Those of us who jumped out of the pot are watching in horror as the rest get boiled alive.
The problem is, frogs don’t have opposable thumbs and we can’t turn the gas off - so the pot keeps boiling.
The best you and I can do is to look out for each other, our friends and family and help anyone else that manages to escape the pot as quickly as possible so they don’t get back in…
My thoughts are that people are animals and they’ll follow where the majority go, so keep helping others escape the pot and eventually, more will notice there is an exit option and jump as well.
At the moment, I see this as the only real answer. Until there’s proper organization and resistance, everything is lip service.
Mobilization is easy - the protests and marches get people together in solidarity. But organization takes effort: it takes talking to people, getting numbers/contact info, making plans and deciding what’s next…

People are already Woke Up. They’re still powerless.
Yeah right. Almost half the people I talk to are not happy but are burning their heads in the sand and waiting/hoping for this to blow over. It can’t happen here and all that.
burning their heads in the sand
Ouch, sounds painful.
Powerless?
Or is it learned helplessness?
It’s exactly that.
We’re still in the pot, dude. It’s a double-boiler, we only jumped out of the inner chamber where even the metal on the bottom doesn’t go above boiling temperature…
That’s an ugly feature of human nature, as well as some victims thinking the solution to their victimization is to have someone they can victimize too.
