This reminds me of ELIZA, a natural language processing program from the 60’s that induced what they coined as the ELIZA effect, a tendency to anthropomorphize the computer. Joseph Wizenbaum, the computer scientist who created ELIZA, wrote Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgment to Calculation in which he contends that while artificial intelligence may be possible, we should never allow computers to make important decisions, as they will always lack human qualities such as compassion and wisdom.

Most people STILL have no concept of how digital mass surveillance functions, what it can do, and how it can be used to manipulate them right now, today. Now, it’s common practice to pour your heart out to and have intimate extended relationships with AI systems controlled by the very same corporate surveillance complex.

The danger is not that AI will become self aware and turn against humanity, it is that people will not realize that it has already been turned against us by its masters.

Usually, the penis must first be removed for the asshole to gape.

Well put. Marshner is essentially a televangelist - by “preaching the gospel”, she secures her endowment of wealth and immunity from religious prosecution. This system typifies the Trump regime, expanded to other things that people prone to magical thinking worry about - conspiracy theories, vaccines, folk medicine, etc.

It’s effective directly because it gives believers every chance to carry and spread a believable and reassuring lie, and to disregard or attack outsiders who try to inject rationality. Essentially, a cult.

The religious are obsessed with this because enforcement of “the nuclear family” offers them a wedge of control into the private lives of others. Marriage and children are under influenceable legislation by the state, which is why these people FREAK out when you mess with those legal institutions with things like marriage equality and abortion.

The ones at the top need the power to stay relevant and wealthy, and the flock eats up the flowery nonsense language about “faith” and “God’s plan.”

Yea, we could like, have a system where everyone gets to cast a vote for who they want to lead them, and only the people with the most votes gets to make the decisions! Too bad our society is just run by whoever has the most money.

IoT is missing all the features I hate, but they can usually be installed manually if desired.

I’m holding out till 2032 for Linux by which time I will be dead or ready to switch.

I was one of those cool 90’s kids who hated Clippy, and I am still just as immature.

As an Internet person with absolutely no knowledge or experience in finance, I can professionally guarantee you that Kanye West’s crypto coin “Yeezy Money” is not a good investment and you should not purchase it.

I mean Jesus fucking Christ.

Yes, purchase legitimately from Microsoft with a genuine Microsoft license key from Microsoft because software piracy is wrong and totally not justified in the face of abusive software monopolies.

I recommend Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC, which is supported until 2032 and has never required me to update my fucking clock or calculator, never crashed my SSD, and never randomly encrypted my hard drive and lost the recovery keys! And, there’s no OneDrive, Copilot, Recall, Cortana, Clippy, or whatever else Microsoft’s cocaine addled executives have come up with this week to FUCK us.

Since thats the standard for operating systems we’re working with now, I’d say this one is pretty good!

Here’s how you can purchase your copy today!

Let’s have a really long nasty drawn out internet argument over whether it’s fifteen or fifty.

They’ve got the laser drill, now they just need 15 billion more dollars for the Unobtanium!

It’s okay, it’s not a very compelling story.

“You want some of this?” Mr. Dousten yelled, according to the affidavit…

…Mr. Dousten then fired a single shot that hit Ms. Hermosillo’s car, breaking the window of the front passenger seat where she was sitting, and striking her in the face, it said.

He “fired a shot in a random direction,” the police said in an email obtained on Wednesday. “Tragically, that bullet struck a passenger in an uninvolved vehicle.”

…Ms. Hermosillo’s partner drove her to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead, the police said.”

This is unbelievably sad. Can you imagine what her partner must have gone through? They’ll be haunted by this for the rest of their life. Her family is crushed. She was 27.

How is it that someone so out of control of their emotions that they carry a loaded gun and wave it carelessly during traffic confrontations is able to access firearms?

This is so fucking bizarre.

son of a BITCH…

Civil disobedience is a peaceful way to protest unfair laws when the regular methods of changing the law are too restricted or too slow to protect the civil rights of citizens. Civil disobedience in this case would be refusing to check out or read books that they find objectionable, if the government were to mandate that they be read.

You could make the argument that government is mandating this content if public schools assign it to students, but there is no real punishment under the law for rejecting a school assignment. It’s that they don’t want YOU to have access to this information, which is the opposite of civil disobedience: oppression. If the government were to mandate the removal of this content, as these citizens would like, the act of disobedience would be to read the books.

This is stealing from a public library.

Low demand?? Birth control is in low demand??? I’m surprised that Costco doesn’t sell a smaller spoon to make this horseshit a little more palatable.

Nothing sells capitalism as inherently fascist faster than every corporation racing to obey the regime in advance.

Whether it’s actually the concentrated evil turning them ugly, or the evil they do that makes the money they use to pay for the plastic surgery, does it matter?

Spiritually, aren’t those the same thing anyways?
