Power....that is what these people are and will so desperately cling to. As if *having it* justifies all the worst characteristics of what a person can be. And then the actions those people will take to grotesquely "celebrate" their personal weaknesses. So we simply need to strip them of power. It comes down to that. Taking away their power.

The blunt f'ing truth, thanks for it Jim. I so wish all of America could hear this in the appropriate tone for its content.

Jim, have you seen the story about the standoff between the Pentagon and Anthropic? Apparently, Hegseth has given Anthropic, which is contracted with the DOD, until Friday to agree to his demands to create a mass surveillance system and to create completely autonomous weapons. Anthropic says this is antithetical to its safety and ethical guidelines. Seems significant(actually seems terrifying when thinking of the implications).

It's so fucking depressing Jim. I used to think I was glad I didn't live in the US but now even the UK is becoming like the US. Not just in ultra right wing politics but in their blind belief that we need AI to replace us! I sign petitions against and submit comments for or against those spouting idiotic ideas but I feel I'm being swamped by people that simply don't give a shit. It's not that they don't give a shit because it doesn't affect them but they feel that no matter what they think it doesn't count. We vote but our vote doesn't count only the big money donors stance on how are lives should be lived does. I like that you put my thoughts into some kind of order.

Why does the mainstream not understand the veracity of Jim's prognostications? Or is it that they just don't care?

Jim, at this point in time all I can say is,“for fuck sakes, are we just going to sit back and let this destroy us?”

..."and long stretches of whatever terror-porn comes straight out of Trump’s id in the moment." That’s all we need to know about the SOTU speech! Excellent article Jim.

North Korea by means of AI

Humans just useless trash now

They were sucked dry

So now the lunatics can have total power and control except they can’t

There is something immaterial about humans called the human spirit - it’s the basis of The Declaration of Independence

China has already prepared for next 3 years or so to be rocky for them but smooth sailing afterward as they continue to imitate US economic growth after WW2.

Doesn’t really matter to them if they don’t have shrinking U.S. market because they are on track to have rest of the world.

Increase taxes of the rich (the whole unfair taxation laws) to solve the national debt, mElon. Math. It’s basic math.
