“People are just jealous that they are poorer and weaker and uglier,” she said. “We are beautiful. We’re smart. We’re strong. … We are supporting the billionaires, here.”

Wow. Unsurprising, but... yeah. I'm sure many of us aspire to be as beautiful and strong as Musk, Bezos and Zuck, I sure am! /s

What is that community supposed to be about? They do a terrible job explaining in the sidebar, and I can't tell if they agree or disagree with the crazy articles and videos they post

Yeah it took me a while to figure out. Basically they're making fun of a specific set of techbros.

This article, linked to in the sidebar, describes their perspective: https://www.truthdig.com/articles/before-its-too-late-buddy/
this wikipedia article describes the people they are making fun of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TESCREAL

It sounds like the community ends up being fairly pro-AI because the zizian-adjacent TESCREAL nutjobs are anti-AI?

It sounds like both sides just suck

[-] Sergio@piefed.social 1 points 3 months ago

I think the TESCREAL people are pro-AI, but tbh I'm not 100% sure.

The counter-protest was bigger and funnier. Apparently one guy showed up dressed as the Monopoly Man.
