I dunno if Jensen wants to tank his rep that much.

This must be what Trump wanted when he said countries aren’t sending their best.

The ultra wealthy managed to spread a lot of doubt about a wealth tax in California. If targeting one corpo works better, that might be the play moving forward. Divide and conquer while hoping the ultra rich do not exhibit class solidarity.

Corporations should have no rights.

Centrist Democrats are already trying to make excuses for not doing their job. Progressive Wing needs to push hard and make clear the difference between the Progressive members trying to improve things and the Centrist members trying to obstruct progress.

I don’t disagree that news reporting helped spread Trump’s message, but far more consequential was the intentional Democratic national strategy of uplifitng Donald Trump because they thought he would be easy to beat. The Pied Piper strategy is well documented now with Democratic leadership working with the Hillary Clinton campaign to uplift Trump and tear down Bernie Sanders. Trump would not have become the Republican nominee if he was not being artificially inflated by the DNC.

I don’t think ignoring people like MTG or Trump really works because the people they advertise to aren’t gonna join the majority. Systemic action needs to be taken against them. Nick Fuentes, for example, waned in popularity after action was taken against him and he was banned from the internet. He is rising in popularity again because those actions have been reversed. These people know their ideas and policies are unpopular and rely upon regular folks not really knowing how disgusting they are. I think shining a light on them and directly calling them disgusting is an important step in actively banning them from public spaces.

AI isn’t real, but it’s gonna ruin society anyway. There is absolutely zero possibility for genAI to develop intelligence because it’s just a probablistic chatbot. It doesn’t know anything; it’s just rolling dice to guess what word to spit out each time. A high school student who copies his friend’s calculus homework will eventually learn a little calculus. A chatbot will never learn any calculus. Claiming these genAI models will develop intelligence with better compute technology is like claiming a puppet will develop intelligence with better string technology.

In some areas, like being able to afford a car, people in China are probably better off than people in the US.

The businessmen in China know they will be shot by the government if they are too exploitative.

You gotta be a gold medalist in mental gymnastics to view the US bombings as legitimate preemptive action.

“We knew Iran would respond to our bombings, so we preempted their response to our preemptive bombing with a prepreemptive bombing.”
