I not that be like he do that like see his friend not that with do and have a boyfriend who yes didn’t with them and he.

instructing donors how to hide donations and scolding them for ‘papering’ her

it’s more because they’re all typically people who couldn’t make it in the police or military, either because of criminal records, addiction, behavior problems, or worse, like all official street thugs of a fascist government, they are the worst people, and when this finally falls apart and people start doing through the details they’ll be identified.

The editing you’re talking about would effectively be a brand new constitution. That will require a revolution. those can be popular and relatively low casualty, but it’s not ever going to be bloodless, also CA wouldn’t solve anything by being a be country, I live in CA, like most Americans, and the problem isn’t being in the US as a state, the problem is a huge amount of compounding factors mostly related to corporatism and cultural problems both longstanding and new. leaving solves nothing and creates more problems.

The only way to exit the USA as a state is revolutionary war and winning that war. for CA that would require all the military bases in CA to outnumber the rest of the country AND for all the personnel on those bases to side with and fight with CA or for some other military force to capture all those bases, than bases all over the US, at that point, winning the war would be totally destroying the US government and military, meaning CA would then become the ruling body of the USA, so the necessary methods won’t really meet the desired outcome, you can’t stop being a state, we fought a whole war about this, you can only exit with war, and winning means becoming the governing body of the US, so if CA really wants to leave, it’s gonna cost a lot of money and lives and it’s never going to work out the way you want it to.

I don’t even trust AI to tell me how long to cook meatloaf…

it has all the markers, unless the corporations drastically restructure their debt or the product suddenly finds an actual demonstrable use, then it’s going to continue being a bubble. all that requires for it to burst is a large swath of people vested in the bubble to get itchy enough to pull enough money out for the value to be questioned or need to be proved, and AI currently is wildly expensive incuring huge amounts of debt, which is being passed around in a very quick and difficult to account for manner, and has no proven value that can be demonstrated as of yet. to be clear, by demonstrated value I mean you can pull out the paperwork and show where is currently profitable. so here’s the ad revenue, or here’s the government contracts, here the subscription payments, something. they are all operating at a loss and betting their entire companies that those avenues will be profitable eventually, but they aren’t currently and that’s with a VERY heavy hand on the scale, we already have the cost of data center power and water being charged to average people, total failure in providing value to military and police efforts, and people rejecting AI content as acceptable entertainment, it’s all a bust no matter how much they insist, and the application as a digital creative tool is unlikely, it’s jarring and can’t be consistent from one shot to the next causing the exact problems you train to avoid in serial art and animation. digital creative tools generally require a large effort and testing from actual artists in development to be even marginally useful in a production pipeline and AI tried to be useful without any input also with the hope it could simply bypass the people who do the creating, the problem is, it can’t, it can only look at what it sees, fail to identify basic fundamental art principals, and try and remix the art it can look at. look at any AI attempt to recreate cubism, it can’t, it’s totally confused by the concept of incorporating movement and primitive shapes into complex work.

it’s how people are choosing to use it, it’s more stealthly that most people think, they aren’t THAT obvious, they really need some kind of very clear ‘this is a recording camera’ tell that can’t be turned off, no one who wants to do legit things with it would care. like how you can’t mute shutter sounds on phones sold in Japan.

I can get behind a brand of sacrifice tattoo, it says ‘I too am a struggler’ but I agree a lot of people probably don’t get that it’s literally a mark that you’re a human sacrifice that also pulls you and everything and everyone around you half way to hell

I’m sure it will be much much stupider.

I saw this episode of TNG. Worf hated it. totally dead planet full of automatic weapons that kill anything that moves and they were technological advanced beyond their ability to detect them because the previous inhabitants furthered warfare tech to the point of absurdity without ever becoming a spacefaring people and killed themselves.

This has been the norm for all my working years.
