I'm so cynical that these stories make me think about the Jessie Smollett hoax of 2019. I'm just saying, if we learn later that Altman paid to have his house firebombed and shot at, I won't be shocked. That said, please, people, stop doing stupid shit to shut down AI.

I keep wondering if this belief is rooted in the delusion that Republican political positions are more widely held than statistics would suggest? π€ If not, the only other alternative is an atavistic belief that some people simply should never be involved in our politics, even if they are citizens.

Anyone familiar with Jeremy Rifkin's work? I'm trying to remember in which of his books he said that for every three jobs eliminated by automation there is one job created to replace it. If not Rifkin, have you heard that sratistic elsewhere?

The dividing line between left and right is the degree to which we believe that others can share our moral sentiments. The Right believes that people who don't look, speak, or eat the way they do can never share their moral outlook. Imagine being so bereft of culture, fashion, and flavor. π

It's unfortunate that the FSD story intersects with Musk's ludicrous thinking about non-FSD related topics. It muddies the water, making it difficult for people to see FSD alone for the scam it has always been.
