your comment is absolutely bizarre given whoever you replied to deleted their original comment and response.

Indeed, kinda became a super meme for a bit https://youtu.be/_5YzexpX7es?si=xlYyX9E8BwKFS2XY

I believe the bird didn't get very far.

Even the Nazis, the literal ones from the 30s and 40s, were not as inhumane as we treat our homeless, chronically ill, an disabled.

At least they would outright murder them while here they end up dead behind dumpsters or just outside hospitals. I did a lot of volunteer and community work until I had reached my limit of seeing how fucked up things are at the bottom.

"Alright so this system is called 'testing' but you need to get two seniors to sign off plus a good reason to push an update."

/What about this system?/

"Oh, that's where we do all are actual testing, just be careful not to break it too much."

/Alright, what is it called?/

"Uhm, I think its called prod or something like that. The root password is written on a sticky note on the upper right corner of John's monitor."

/Who is John, the senior dev or something?/

"What? Hahaha no, John is just the summer intern."

I think the bigger drivers behind Anti-AI is: the novelty has worn off, the upper class is shoving it into everything from the fast food intercom at a drive through to everything on the phone and OS, AI is drastically raising energy prices even without turning on a switch as power companies plan for increased need for capacity, AI has made computer parts expensive, AI is visibly making the dead internet theory a reality, and while there is more reasons left the big underlining issue is there is very little tangible benefit.

Also accepting AI requires being alright with the upper class stealing the bulk of the species intellectual property after decades of "Don't steal music" and all those "FBI warnings" about copying movies. Further insult is the audacity to want money for rehashing what they stole.

not a single justice, conservative or liberal, mentioned the dangers of a warming planet as one of the possible harms the court should consider.

Consider the ages of those involved, they will be long dead of natural causes by the time the true "find out" stages of climate change has really gotten going. Also they've got wealth & privilege so will have the easiest time migrating to safer places.

Even now, Phoenix Arizona is still another 3 years, at least, away from when evacuations will need to start while Vegas has maybe another 8 as long as the deeper water lines work as designed. Miami could defy the somewhat impossible odds and survive another decade before a hurricane wipes it out like Andrew did to Homestead. Yes bad things are starting to happen faster now, but we could have had another decade of some semblance of normalcy.

I am kind of baffled by the absence of food in the US military, especially the US Navy. That's like the third item on the logistics checklist with ammunition and fuel being first and second.

This also gives some credence to rumors the fire was deliberately started on Gerald due to moral issues.
