There was this chapter in an XKCD book talking about where does tire particles goes. From memory, it said “there are many answers to that question and none of them are good”.

I’ve seen a few passages of this, the required qualifications definitely not include “ability to read”.

Sam, you little piece of shit, the thing is, most humans are cared for because that’s what we strive to, not because we want to replace them for fuck’s sake.

I made a joke a while ago about “kid being a necessary evil”. This dude really is comparing keeping humanity afloat and burning humanity’s resource for a computer. I’m pretty sure even his little AI garbage yesman would “disagree”.

It’s already trickling down : from public government money to private business owners.

At this point, it’s a suicide really.

I applaud billionaire willing to die to show us what’s right and wrong. Submarine excursions when you have no clue what you’re doing, ruining the lives of millions with price hikes, penis enlargement surgery with unlicensed surgeons… keep at it billionaires. Let’s step: going to Mars without a backup plan, because thinking things ahead is for pussy. You can do it!

I can’t wait for a moment where he slip, jumping from the last thing to the next, and use the epstein files as a distraction for something else out of sheer stupidity.

This could be good, except that one move is shooting its own country in the everything.

It would probably be the same content-wise. The bots are put there by people that wants to push an agenda. If we somehow reach a point where such a network with only live, confirmed humans exists, they’ll still push their points I guess. After all, we already see prominent account posting batshit crazy thing under their real name, so that would not change much.

And, yeah. It’s not really being an anarchist to think smaller, closer spaces are a good idea. Worldwide, almost universal social connection all the time, even without the constant barrage of garbage, is bound to completely overload our brain. Focusing on smaller communities, hand in these for a limited/controlled duration, things that actual matters, sounds really nice. It’s more of a “technical minimalism”, if we keep things digital.

Can’t wait until the next next big thing: “F”, for “Fuck you”.

I’m pretty sure most countries have an idea of peace that does not openly include “start frivolous wars”. We’ll be ok without that.

For starter, the fact that I can’t find anything related to that in any local (France), German, European, or international news outlet. The closest thing there is is a change in unemployement benefits, replaced by a stricter (but with similar monthly amount) model (https://www.iamexpat.de/career/employment-news/german-cabinet-agrees-replace-burgergeld-neue-grundsicherung). Added with the absolute lack of any external source from this post’s link, a bit of caution sounds reasonable.

Just wish for consequences of his actions.

He’s too old for that. A country who’s president is, say, around his 50s, should fear for potential consequences. Trump? He’ll be dead long before a single actual trial is even started at this point. Better stop the murder and destruction sooner than let it go in the prospect of posthumous condemnation.

There’s two things people in position of power are good at: talking about child safety, and not giving a single crap about actual kids.

Ah, so THAT is the problem they’re looking to solve here.

We’re collectively picking all the worst solutions, aren’t we?

“Oh no, a number, that’s threatening the greatness of the US and we must act immediately!”

What, you think parents should watch over their kid and provide them interaction? What is this, year 1200?

Yes, but under the promise that you won’t be under any kind of protection if it happens again in a few years.
