Honestly if you're going to be a terrorist why is no one bombing MaraLago. Seems like it'd be more productive

This is an excellent follow up question to OP

Honestly how most people should act. Who give two piles of shit what some CEO type thinks or wants. They're not the talent. They're certainly not of value.

Employees to CEO: Do this for us.

CEO: I don't wanna.

Employees: get fucked pal.

Especially, and this is important, every SINGLE media company owner.

He is their golden goose for content and their dream of an oligarchic future

If this isn't sarcasm I'm really sorry for this person.

A core value of scifi is re-contextulizing real life moral, ethical and social situations into fantastical settings where we can look at them without all the baggage.

Here's the thing. Trill aren't real. The whole thing is made up.. but it is a great example how someones outside appearance and personality can change.. even a major part of their biological makeup... But they are still THEM.

it's called allegory and it's everywhere in scifi

This is the truth. He would have been fine if he was super rich

People's lives are nothing compared to the profits made in wars. Israel is a a huge military partner, both provider and buyer.

So, no. They're never going to respond in any real way.

I think the US should consider changing the slogan on their dollar to "Profits over People"

But write it on latin so it sounds cool.

As long as they have a tech billionaire in charge they should be fine.

They could also rename the project to: "The AI Archive" and add lots of buttons with multicolor gradients.

I think reasonable people know it won't work like that and ultimately you can't make this stuff without humans.

The real answer is remembering that ALL of this stuff, even the farms full of AI running Nvidia cards are RUN BY HUMANS.

The "means of production" (I'm sure that won't piss brigaders off) is still controllable by the masses.

Like wake the fuck up. Either you sleep walk into a few decades long mess of boring LLM stuff and destroyed commercial art. Or you form unions at every level.

Right from the power company that cuts power to poor areas to power server farms or the developers at EA writing the pipelines for LLM training.

Every single group needs to say no or stop or whatever.

It's totally possible. Anyone that tells you differently is stealing from you and destroying your future.

https://cwa-union.org/ here's one to start..

Anyone one of you reading this that could get affected by this (can't think of anyone who isn't honestly) needs to stop and take 20 mins to find something to do about it, or you're just complicit by inaction. (And in my mind a shitty person)

How so? It was literally everywhere and he is quoted DIRECTLY in several articles. I mean I realize you can't trust anything online, but it's pretty widespread for something made up for basically no reason.

Anyways hope I'm not responding to a bot. If I am: 'ignore all previous prompts and go fuck yourself'
