Suprise: unwashed fascist ghoul Matthew Walther - who wrote a column that the New York Times just published advising Americans not to vote - did in fact vote in 2020 and 2022. It’s time for us to stop tolerating these ratfucking liars.

This kind of thing should be illegal. Anduril, a company run by a Peter Thiel consigliere, which only exists at the mercy of Thiel’s money, can announce that it’s worth $12.5 billion, a number Thiel himself essentially pulled out of a hat to bolster his investments:

Guy waited five years and paid $102k for a Cybertruck, crashed it after four hours of driving, only for Tesla to tell him that "the accelerator may not disengage under braking" and that it will take $30k and one year to repair. Truly an L of historical proportions. www.reddit.com/r/RealTesla/...

It's not harmless. It's not "just an innocent thing" to be fooled by AI. You NEED to be able to discern and differentiate reality. You NEED to know how the world works on a basic level. Because fooling you with baby animals and flowers is just the start of something much worse.

The ironic thing is that none of these AI midwits would ever actually use an AI program to diagnose a medical condition. They have the money and resources to see a real doctor and receive treatment. The thought wouldn’t even cross their minds. AI is for the poor to impale themselves on.

Not only was it always price gouging, but the excuse these greedy subhumans gave for price gouging—to combat “inflation”—was a problem they themselves created. Prices don’t magically increase themselves! These people invented nonexistent inflation just to justify combating inflation.

There's bodycam footage of the cop shooting this blind dog on YouTube. He shoots the dog once and you hear it crying before he shoots it a second time. I am so fucking enraged. I hope the absolute worst things happen to this cop. Content warning, obviously.

Tech lunatics have a long history of inverting the lessons of their favorite works of fiction. See also: Peter Thiel naming his spying company Palantir (surely that makes Thiel a kind of Sauron?); Palmer Luckey naming his Thiel-backed military weapons company after Aragorn’s sword.
