One of those Brads is gonna roll over into a sinkhole and kill the TC and Trump will hold a press conference to say it probably happened because a black guy built that one

another one of those posts where everyone is absolutely confident that they know what media property the person is referring to and everyone's ideas are completely different

There is also, regrettably, the fact that living a questing life uncovering the conspiracy behind all existence is a lot more exciting than being a guy who copy-pastes numbers into a spreadsheet and copy-pastes the result into an email to somebody else who actually does something.

The thing is that at the time, we *did* have an AI telling Petrov to start the war - it was the Big Book Of Scenario Analysis that said "if X happens, Y will follow, respond with Z," and an operational culture of You're Not Here To Think, Just Do What The Big Book Tells You.

Or that the guy thinks "do I really believe that we need to launch the missiles? Fuck it, not my job to care" *CLICK*

tbh all these stories about folks entering America illegally and living for 30+ years make me think that we don't really need Sanctuary Cities because people seem to be able to stay here just fine on their own

I mean, I feel like there would be a lot more support for an amnesty if people didn't go to the mattresses trying to keep dudes like this in the country:

But stories about how Those Big Rich Businessmen Are Baddies get *clicks*, bro! People *love* when you give a hit of those tasty, tasty angry-brain chemicals!

"You're telling me that instead of going through sixteen years of worrying I'd be deported and a civics test and that time I had to fly to Saigon solely to turn around and come back, I could have just run out the clock? Fuck *you*."

There's all kinds of ways to make it work better, but the thing you have to deal with is the same thing that sunk the whole "waive student loans" idea -- the fact that there are people who worked really hard to do it The Right Way and will feel like suckers if they see Cheaters get a pass now.

I think people just really like seeing Kevin Costner Be A Beefy Middle-Aged Dad/Bachelor-Uncle and when he gets to play that role they'll watch it.

Everybody was happy that they put in guardrails for Naughty Words and nobody bothered to think about guardrails for "encouraging psychotic breaks in mentally-ill users".

They haven't got friends, they've got acquaintances, and those acquaintances will drop them like a hot rock as soon as they suggest something Weird.

"well why don't they just talk to their *friends*" it's a distinct possibility that none of these people *had* friends, not the sort who you'd honestly open up to about these kind of issues!

What this says to me is that there are some people who receive so little affirmation (or even attention) in their daily lives that the merest facsimile of it is an incredible elevation.

People have always taken seriously what the Mysterious Oracular Priest God-King says. Because if it weren't obviously true and the correct thing to do then the Mysterious Oracular Priest God-King wouldn't be *saying* it, right? And besides, if it comes out wrong, it wasn't *them* who decided on it.

Well, I didn't really mean it as a *dig*, but I do agree that there's a lot of Mid that could be replaced by AI.

I want to watch a Tartakovsky-style animated TV show based on the "X-Wing" novels! Nobody's ever going to make that!

I think a lot of people believed that when Trump said he was going to take care of the waste and the criminals, he had specific examples of waste and criminals in mind and wasn't going to just point at random stuff and say "that's waste, that's a criminal".

The blackpill about AI is that it shows us how slop was all that the average Creative-Art-As-Entertainment Consumer really ever wanted, and that they didn't (and don't) care whether anyone got fairly compensated for producing it.

You're right that being Taylor Swift takes genuine talent in multiple areas, but there are a plenty of people who couldn't carry a tune in a bucket who nonetheless became popular as "musical entertainers"

historians in the year 3425: "Lacking contemporary records we can't really tell what these symbols meant, but their appearance mostly in the rear windows of open-compartment service vehicles suggests that one use of that space was for urination while at a work area..."

You think that, but you haven't got a kid who has read all of the Warrior Cats books (current count: 594, not including spinoffs) and is jonesing *hard* for more of them.

and in fact that will be what "popular entertainer" means, that you're a Personality first and any kind of artist a distant second. A future where every celebrity is Richard Simmons or Kim Kardashian.

but this is what I mean when I say that AI is gonna kill jobbers, because you could totally have gotten something like that before AI - but you'd have had to pay a local band to write it, perform it, and record it. Now it's free! And that local band can go flip burgers.

I was in a harbor freight a while back and the manager had AI generated country about the store playing and it was indistinguishable from actual bro country beyond the inclusion of "Harbor Freight" every few bars.
