"WHEN I SEE TRUMP, I SEE THE SAME
REDNECKS I SAW WHEN I WAS GROWING
UP WHO CALLED ME NI**** AND TRIED TO
KEEP ME IN MY PLACE. THAT'S WHAT THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY IS TO ME. THEY'RE
DOING IT TO YOUNG PEOPLE, GAY
PEOPLE. THEY DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE.
IF YOU'RE NOT THEM, YOU'RE THE ENEMY."
If this new chatbot is so efficient, why do you need to force your employees to use it? Why do you need to advertise the fact that you are using it? Are you that insecure?
If I truly had a powerful tool, I would not talk about it. I would only show it to my employees, asking them to not tell the competition about it. And I will let the employees discover by themselves how efficient it is by giving bonuses to the most efficient.
Because a LOT of people are missing the point:
No, Elon Musk is NOT serious about putting a million data centres into orbit. It can't work: laws of physics say "nope".
But SpaceX is expected to go public this year.
Elon is talking up his company's future prospects in front of gullible investors because he needs a growth narrative beyond Starlink, which is already priced in. Something to justify the Starship proram beyond NASA's lunar ambitions.
So it's salesman's bullshit, lies for fools.
Would love to see some news organization find a video of what republicans previously called peaceful or other bullshit (e.g., Jan 6th or the stupid Ritter nazi kid) and manipulate it to be just ever so slightly obscured, show it to these ahole DHS people and say it is a protester and see their completely bullshit response, then actually rug pull them live on air with the real facts and see how flustered they get.
I know it won't happen because all the journalists with actual platforms are gigantic, compromised babies.
A lot of people are correctly noting the galling hypocrisy of US conservatives who spent decades fetishizing gun rights and specifically the insurrectionary theory of the 2nd amendment suddenly justifying a man’s public, summary execution on the grounds that he was (legally, non-threateningly) armed when he encountered police.
And I get it. They are hypocrites. The hypocrisy is galling. I get it.
But I am begging you to move rapidly past this realization to a place where you never, ever take this people seriously for even the tiniest moment. Everything they say, every single thing, is said instrumentally to achieve their goal of power in that particular moment. There are no principles. They will not feel shame when caught in the discrepancy. Do not waste time on it, do not entertain it, do not debate it, do not lend it credence as an idea that warrants a serious and considered rebuttal.
Do not take them seriously ever again.
