This feels really psychotic. All of this really makes me want to question reality. Are we in a simulation? Are we an experiment by an advanced alien race, and they're tweaking parameters to study us?
Trump is like a grade school bully, in a lord of the flies scenario. He's got all this power and he's bringing in his bully friends and they're doing shit grade school bullies would do with all this power.
If you're a sociopath, let them suffer and die slowly, homeless.
If you're not a sociopath, and decent, tax the rich and give them a good UBI so they can play and do art or music or video games or what the hell ever.
will also make nonsense mistakes that don't even make sense
It would blow things up even faster
We are already on the way to the dollar collapsing
Humans are already doing and causing all this.
they have no capacity to reason nor analyze
Nobody thinks LLMs are intelligent or conscious or able to reason, other than stupid people.
It's a software tool. The anti-ai cult is way overthinking it. It's insanely valuable and impressive to me as an engineer at small tasks. Fails at large tasks, but generally gets close at 80-90% which is undeniably impressive for what it is, an unintelligent machine learning LLM software tool. It'll either improve, or something else better will come along to replace it.
Would you trust an LLM to manage your own monthly budget numbers and categorize things properly?
Sure, as a software tool to assist in the same way I might use any other software tool to make life easier. You should probably check and verify the results to verify correctness.
At the end of the day, I don't really care. I sympathize much more with the accelerationist attitude, then protection of the status quo. If your argument is using LLMs will bring about a downfall of the system in any way, well then I can only get so erect. Hook it to my veins please.
Even by your argument, we have imbeciles like trump elected as the president of the United States, the worlds most powerful economic and military empire. Religious wars are still a thing in 2025. Putins oligarchy dictatorship is killing Ukrainian civilians, kidnapping children, and torturing POWs. This place is a fucking clown show. Let it burn.
I'm not arguing AI is intelligent or a save all for anything. I only comment on the anti-ai cult stuff as it seems more like crowd mentality nonsense. Let them use LLMs to analyze financial markets or whatever. It ain't like skynet where they just turn it on and walk away, lol. I truly and honestly don't think it could get any worse than the system we currently have though.
Honestly, why would that be worse than greedy, sociopathic billionaire investors and Milton friedman style free market capitalists making all the decisions?
Shit, I'll take a shitty LLM or even a developmentally challenged labradoodle making financial decisions over the current exploitative capitalist slop we have today.
Yep. Keep them as slaves. Or very close to it. It's so obvious. Due to everything that's happening the immigrants will be in fear and desperation. They'll work for below minimum wage in horrid conditions and be too afraid to do anything about it.
The establishment dems are saying "you'll vote for our chosen moderately conservative dem of our choice, or you'll get trump or whoever the Republicans put up".
They do this on purpose, because they have money and don't suffer the consequences that the poors do. They don't care. Some even probably quietly made money on trumps tarriff stock market fiasco.
They pushed out bernie. They don't like this new Mamdani guy as he's a bernie-like democratic socialist.
If this is true it would not be surprising by any means. The entire trump musk cult, and popular conservatism in general, is about winning at all costs ruthlessly. They are exploiters, and they are corrupt at their core to get wealth and power.
Not saying it's true, we need more evidence. But it would be kind of an occamz razor moment. The simplest explanation, and what makes more sense, is that they cheated. That's who these people are at their core. If it's true, it would just make more sense.
Not the point I was making though. I'm saying if dems were doing what maga is doing now, Republicans would be in the streets with their assault rifles or something, the point is they wouldn't stand for this if it were dems, they're hypocrites.
But dems wouldn't be doing anything like this, as we all know.
You might be right, and I hope you are. But I'm also at least partially right too. There are far right conservatives in the military, many of them (even if not the majority, a big enough minority).
The main sentiment of my comment was people like us going about our day to day hoping the military will "do the right thing", effectively disobey orders maybe? Disobey the president? Isn't it ingrained into them to not do that?
This feels really psychotic. All of this really makes me want to question reality. Are we in a simulation? Are we an experiment by an advanced alien race, and they're tweaking parameters to study us?
Trump is like a grade school bully, in a lord of the flies scenario. He's got all this power and he's bringing in his bully friends and they're doing shit grade school bullies would do with all this power.
And all the people who voted for him...
None of this makes any sense. The end is nigh?
