CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant - Divisions by zero

Why do we tolerate these people?
Because most Americans with slack jaws hunch over their smartphone gawking at tiktok videos of people they hope to one day be but never will.
Really feeling the victim blaming here when they made the devices into virtual heroine
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!

Huxley vs. Orwell: The Webcomic

Stuart McMillen’s webcomic adapts (and updates) Postman’s famous book-length essay, Amusing Ourselves to Death, which argues that Aldous Huxley’s vision of the future in Brave New…

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.
Thanks for the link, I just read through the forward to Amusing Ourselves to Death and am looking forward to the read.
You and me baby ain’t nothin’ but mammals so we’re easy to distract and get fucken enamored
Well done! I remember that song fondly.

No, no, they made devices into strong female protagonists!

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.
