i wonder if he listens to naddpod

because you are alienated from the fruits of your labor.

Voting with your wallet doesn’t work when you are the product. They don’t care about your money when google’s will dwarf any amount individuals could hope to raise, even collectively. Nothing prevents them from just taking both your money and google’s and changing absolutely nothing.

yeah those fucking .ml losers. suggesting that there are circumstances where half-measures are worse than nothing at all.

congratulations on your antibiotic resistant MRSA. make sure to spread it around so everyone else gets to enjoy the benefits of your inadequate treatment.

Email me the blueprints to your house, your address, name, and your favorite hobbies and I will tell you the answer.

I genuinely tried to find the source for this but all I got from google were ads for vibe coding and proton's own AI. So take this half-remembered anecdote with a grain of salt, I guess. Best i've got is this

I’m not sure I’m convinced. They don’t seem to be struggling with consensus on any other matters, so that kind of implies they’re just one single consciousness rather than a gestalt of conflicting ones. I don’t think the individuals are still in there, or they’re so completely subsumed they might as well be gone.

As for their vulnerability to emotional outbursts I’m betting that whatever happened with the immune survivors has made them into transmitters but not receivers for whatever psychic frequency the collective operates on. Which is why they cannot disobey or lie to her about anything except their “biological imperatives” (and even then only passively) and cannot handle her negative emotions since it disrupts the positive emotions they’re using to keep everyone’s consciousnesses subdued.

Well, hope you like AI shit too because the people at proton are in love with vibe coding. Get ready for your data to be exfilled by a prompt injection in a spam email.

For someone who rolled up every psychiatrist, psychologist, and social worker on earth into their head they don’t seem to know how to handle someone experiencing grief/ptsd very well.

This is a mask falling, not a sea change. Democracy in the United States has never been more than a fantasy.
