  • American attitudes about AI today mirror poll answers about the rise of the internet in the '90s

  • AI is very useful and powerful as a propaganda device and a system to generate and disseminate disinformation, misinformation and non-information very quickly and very efficiently.

    It was thought that the internet would do the same but that system only goes at the speed of humans and the whole system is regulated by humans ... so as propaganda tool, it has worked better but not as well as predicted. Humans saw the the potential for abuse and fought back against it.

    AI is like propaganda on cocaine ... and there is very little to stop it other than our awareness of it ... but the majority of everyone in the world don't care to understand what they are watching is real or not. What that means is that AI is set to reshape how everyone thinks and how we all see the world.

  • Investors are like parasitic leeches to any business model. As soon as you add them, the business has to grow in order to satisfy the leeches who provide no benefit to the model other than to be attached to it. If you ignore the leech, they'll drain all your lifeforce, so your only option is to satisfy them and feed them. Unfortunately, they are also ravenous creatures who are never satisfied. If you feed them a little, they'll want more next time in an endless cycle.

    Once you are infected by investors ... eventually they will destroy whatever you created.

  • For modern audiences, it would probably be seen as awful. A lot of a humour is dated and not that funny. But there are moments and scenes where everything is still very relevant and will always be relevant.

    One of the greatest criticisms of Monty Python and satirical comedy is that it all just places a giant mirror on society and forces everyone to look at reality in a different light .... and in many instances, that mirror image makes us realize just how absurd reality can be sometimes. Some people are enlightened by it ... some people absolutely do not want anyone to ever question their beliefs or how they see the world. I find that the people who enjoy Monty Python are the ones who are able to critically look at the world ... and those that absolutely hate it are the ones who think there is nothing wrong with the world no matter how absurd.

    That is the greatest thing about Monty Python and as an Indigenous person, I've always appreciated it ... they will make you laugh and think at the same time. One of the greatest ways to share an important life lesson or message with someone is to tell a funny story and make people laugh ... the humour and laughter will make them remember those ideas forever.

  • I Tried Pre-Ordering the Trump Phone. The Page Failed and It Charged My Credit Card the Wrong Amount

  • In that case, someone should come out with a quality phone and just slap Trump logos all over the damned thing and charge $2,000 for a $500 phone. Run the business until someone tells you to stop.

    Sell Trump crap ... it's all crap anyway ... make money on it if people are dumb enough to pay for this shit.

  • Or you can spray paint your old iPhone with gold coloring, slap a Trump logo on it and sell it on ebay to some unsuspecting MAGA fan for $2,000.

    It's not hard to copy Trump's signature ... you could throw that on the phone and charge $5,000 and tell everyone that you bought it at a MAGA rally where Trump signed it in 2024.

    If they can grift .... we can all grift harder

  • God damn it ... now I have to watch Life Of Brian ... it's been years, decades since I last saw it

    For anyone who sees this ... Monty Python's 'Life Of Brian' is a 1979 film that should be instituted as essential to Memery 101

    Failure Parade

  • It would have been cheaper to fly Donnie to North Korea and pay the North Koreans to give him a big huge parade in his honor.
