Why hasn’t this been reported on by any mainstream media news organizations? United States Social Security Administration employees have recently been told to advise callers that “suicide is an option”.

Louder for people at the back:

If ‘AI’ gives you a 20% productivity increase, in an economic system that rewards growth at the expense of everything else, the rational thing for any company to do is use that productivity increase to expand into new markets. This may involve some redundancies because you need different skills for the new opportunities but they will be matched by increased hiring in the other areas. If you and your competitors both see a 20% increase in productivity and you use it to make people redundant and they use it to ship more products in more areas, then they will grow at your expense. Their products will be better than yours and you will lose market share.

If you are claiming that you have redundancies because ‘AI’ is increasing productivity, then one of the following is true:

  • Your leadership team does not understand market economics (in which case, investors should worry that the board has not replaced obviously incompetent leadership).
  • You are an unchallengeable monopoly and have already filled all adjacent markets and have literally no possibility of growth (in which case, investors should take note and set their price predictions based on today’s revenue, with no expectation of future growth, which would wipe out over 80% of Meta’s market cap).
  • You are lying about productivity gains (in which case, investors should worry about what else you’re lying about and should start prodding the SEC to investigate).

And that right there is why energy is a national security issue and why independent, diversified-source, renewable, non-centralized power generation is so important.

People are taking "antizionism is not inherently antisemitic" (correct) and twisting it to mean "all antisemitism is actually just antizionism, and is therefore good" (what).

“ We are no longer operating in a world where we judge technology by what would happen if it landed in the “wrong hands.” It is already in the wrong hands.”

Billionaires are ethnic cleansing the United States. All the technology that they’ve developed is for the purpose of social control, monitoring every social interaction and modern monitoring, social movements.

Meta won’t let morality get in the way of a product launch

Frictionless facial recognition in the Ray-Ban Meta glasses is a serious threat to society, even more so because Meta is so cozy with American authoritarianism.

Also, if you see something traumatic, I say this especially as someone with hyperphantasia, a pretty well researched tip is to pretty immediately play Tetris (or any bright quick eye moment game) to help reduce PTSD/imagery flashbacks.

Once more:

#Trans people are not a threat. They are just people. Their existence doesn't harm you. If you don't approve, that's okay; give them the same rights as you and you'll rarely need to think about them ever again.

Except when the right stokes your fear for political gain.

It’s a brave new world…or at least one you need to be pretty brave to keep trying to live in.

"Long-term brain effects of COVID-19 vs. flu: Study reveals key differences"

Even mild COVID-19 or flu can have lasting effects, but Tulane University research in Louisiana shows only COVID-19 is linked to ongoing brain inflammation and small vessel damage—even after the virus is no longer detectable.
