@MasterMaliq I mean they might be terrorists. Terrorists can have day jobs.

The Muslim who treats you at the hospital is not a terrorist.
The Muslim who teaches your children is not a terrorist.
The Muslim who serves you in a shop is not a terrorist.
The Muslim who drives your taxi is not a terrorist.
The Muslim who lives next door is not a terrorist.
The overwhelming majority of Muslims are ordinary people trying to live their lives.
Judge people by their actions, not by their religion.

I'm reading all the comments and basically everyone agrees. The question is - why is media pushing such shit personalities on us? It's like they want us to think everything sucks, that being an obnoxious buffoon is admirable, etc. It's a psy-op.

@ugderryck @pmarca Dario has been saying out loud that AI is going to be the next superweapon and the government is taking him seriously.

Anthropic@AnthropicAI
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-mytโฆ

No, you don't get it.
He does not have $1 trillion sitting in cash, it is 99% stock in his companies.
To make that wealth liquid would mean selling all that stock which would swiftly destroy *both* the companies (Tesla, SpaceX, others) and the wealth. If he sold it all, he'd end up with maybe $100b max, several hundred thousand people would be out of work, the companies ruined and many of their suppliers also ruined.
Okay, but now Elon has $100b in cash, and can "solve the world's problems".
$100b divided by the world's 8 billion people is $12
If you were in charge, several of the most innovative industrial companies in the world would be destroyed, hundreds of thousands out of work, and space would again close to human civilization for another generation.
But everyone on earth could have one nice meal and you could revel in your altruism.

I really donโt understand true greed. If I was worth $1 trillion, youโd have to physically stop me from solving as many of the worldโs problems as possible.
Everyone would have a home, food on the table, proper healthcare, happiness.
I just donโt get it.

> I think many on the right end up overestimating the political potential of this specific critique.
In the US in the 60's and 90's, there was apocalyptically more crime committed by a comically easily identifiable demographic and the response was mostly to do nothing and let it "solve" itself via white flight, dispossession, etc.
I don't think any of this is appealable to democracy; arguments to politicians ought to be framed in dollar terms, because it's easy to argue and universally understood.
eugyppius@eugyppius1
Mass migration has provoked political opposition primarily because of the ethno-cultural alienation it has brought in its wake, but it's more uncomfortable to talk about this particularly in a country where acknowledging ethnic Germanness is beyond the pale and may open politicians to legal risk. So, it's safer to talk about crime, and while nobody would say these complaints are illegitimate (every crime committed by a migrant is a totally avoidable and unnecessary crime), I think many on the right end up overestimating the political potential of this specific critique.

@QuasLacrimas @woke8yearold I donโt think the dotcom bubble meaningfully delayed internet dominance.
English
@woke8yearold I assume you'd agree, though, that if the current wave of capex investments in AI by non-AI companies turn out to be unprofitable, that will push the probable date where job-killing becomes economical further into the future.
English
Hereโs an example: I automate something with Claude and it presents with me a new task I need to do. I automate that task with an agent. Now imagine that we have genuine AGI and robotics. Even if new tasks emerge, AI can also do the new task. Thereโs no reason to hire humans
Aleph@woke8yearold
This is just ideological slop. Saying AI canโt be a job killer is speculative and probably wrong, thereโs no reason think AGI canโt replace human jobs and replace them with nothing because AGI can also do new human jobs.

@lastmountains @eugyppius1 Ice cream is extremely popular in Germany lol.
English
@woke8yearold Even the idea of it being a โdemocratizerโ (lmao) is based on everyone having the inclination toward entrepreneurship which is just nonsense. Besides which, whatever business idea a rando can come up with, the AI could likely come up with autonomously.

Jordan Schachtel@JordanSchachtel
AI isn't a job-killer that the Doomers say it is. The opposite is true. It's the ultimate democratizer. It's a tool that distributes knowledge, capability, and opportunity to anyone with an internet connection. A kid in rural America can now access the world's best tutor, coder, and strategist in their pocket. That's simply unprecedented. This tool is creating the fairest and freest playing field in U.S. history But if select powerful ideologues in the industry get their way with heavy regulation, "safety" bureaucracies, and deployment gatekeeping, this technology will become a CCP-adjacent tool for centralized power and elite control. Distribute the knowledge. There is no need and no legitimate ethical or security reason to gatekeep it indefinitely. Free flowing AI for all Americans beats controlled AI for a new group of oligarchs. America wins by unleashing AI, not by managing it into an elite hierarchy of privilege.

Many other countries, including much of Europe, are more desirable to live in than the US except for the relative salaries and upward mobility. People should travel more, it would help them too appreciate ways in which home could be better.

Dave Johnson is a great map designer but de_dust was superior (cs_tire another forgotten gem).
Dust2 was/is a second/third worlder map. This rapidly became evident as most CS 1 servers with diverse map cycles were replaced by 24/7 dust 2 servers to accommodate the burgeoning population of thirdy gamers, who brought their fear of the unknown and obsessive-compulsive needs with them to CS.

@00yisan @TheLegalMindset Yeahโฆnah. As much as I fucking hate BAM and their little twerp of a CEO, their claims are not totally without merit.
Letโs be honest, Ben did a lot of things that wereโฆ let us say โquestionableโ
Hate is not strong enough. I loathe the CEO.

It was inevitable that BAM would target the GoFundMe, now his $450k war chest enters legal limbo.

@CromofCimmeria @more_amalek "Beelzebub" is derived from Baal. It is the same character. The point was to demean this figure from their common heritage.
> you seemed to imply he was positively associated with Christianity
I am telling you he is *associated* with Christendom.
English
@devusnullus @more_amalek "Beelzebub" is a euphemism for Satan, and you seemed to imply he was positively associated with Christianity.
English
Christians really hate learning the history of their own religion. It's pathetic.
The idea that Yahweh's origins as a storm deity in ancient Israelite religion is just a "bitter historian" conspiracy is so detached from reality that it's hard to believe people say it out loud.
๐ต๐๐๐ โง โ โ๏ธโค๏ธโ๐ฅ@JadeAtrophis
This narrative is just completely fabricated by bitter historians who outright reject the reality of the situation btw
English
> Further, it's reified every single time someone makes reference to 'Baal', 'Dagon', etc.
Yes thank you, tell me more about how these figures in the Old (and New!) Testament are DEFINITELY NOT related to the pantheon Yahweh sprang from. Really weird to put yourself at odds with this totally unrelated religion!
English
@devusnullus @more_amalek ...barely any correspondence between the Canaanite Yahweh and the OT God, and the fusing of a monotheistic religion into native tribal faiths is documented among more primitive peoples.

Thereโs this weird ghetto honor system where they actually believe this is a case of self defense. Thatโs why he has supporters, thatโs why people donated so much money to him. They really believe that he was justified in stabbing Austin for โputting his hands on me.โ No of this testimony will convince his supporters because they already knew all of this. They think itโs fine.

@CromofCimmeria @more_amalek Man I'm just cackling over here. Like did you know about the Old Testament? It's still there. You can just google this stuff. You can even tag in grok I won't mind.

@devusnullus @more_amalek Baal and Dagon are associated with Christianity? How do you know historical, pre-Christian Judaism sprang from whatever the Canaanites practised?
