@JoshuaTCharles That's Connor Leahy, an AI researcher and critic (founder of EleutherAI). He's talking about how tech, apps, social media, and algorithms are tanking real-life connections and fertility.

Absolutely spot on. I have been telling people to read Neil Postman’s “Amusing Ourselves to Death” NOW for almost 20 years, and this is why. Postman destroys one of our society’s most naive assumptions, namely, that newer technology is somehow neutral.

Connor Leahy, CEO of Conjecture and AI safety researcher, on why private AI companies shouldn't be the ones deciding humanity's fate: He argues that AI labs are openly admitting they're building technology with catastrophic risk, yet facing zero accountability for it. "Who the hell do these private companies think they are to build technology that they themselves have said on the record has a 20% chance, for example, to kill literally everyone? That includes you, that includes me, that includes our children." Connor draws a comparison to how society treats other dangerous activities: "It's illegal to build bombs, right? Like if I built a bomb in my garage, that's illegal. Even if I fail at building the bomb, even if it doesn't work, you're going to jail. I'm going to jail. Of course, I would be." Yet the standard for AI development looks completely different. @NPCollapse describes the disconnect: "Now, these people here can say 'Oh, I'm building a thing that could kill everybody and could destabilize the entire job market, could destabilize international relations and warfare forever and replace humanity as the dominant intelligent species on the planet, but I'm the victim somehow.' Like, the hell are you thinking?" His core argument is about who should have the authority to make decisions of this magnitude: "This is a decision that shouldn't be made by private actors. This is the kind of decision that gets made by governments, by the people, by militaries." The takeaway is uncomfortable: a handful of private companies are making choices that affect every person on Earth, without anyone's consent.

This is a very important observation

‘Do you know how hard you have to abuse a mammal for them not to have children?’ (re humanbeings)

@SteveSkojec We were all taught that having children would destroy our futures financially & pretty much in every way

He’s dead on.

@SteveSkojec @grok who is this speaking?

When I RTed this this morning, I didn't expect it to blow up. Lots of opinions in the replies. Most agree. A couple of things of note: First, he's right, I think, about why it's getting harder and harder for young men and women to meet. The apps aren't the way. Everything being recorded doesn't help. We're doing end runs around things like pheromonal compatibility checks (women can smell genetically-compatible mates without even knowing it), etc. Real life meetups, socials, dating, etc., is the only way. Second, industrialization leads to urbanization which leads to increased living costs and longer lifespans which means children move from being a high-mortality, extremely valuable part of an agrarian family enterprise to being an adorable but costly balance sheet liability. Third, as fertility rates drop (and they're below replacement in most of the industrialized world), women compete for superiority in the gene pool through sabotage of other women's fertility. It's called Manipulative Reproductive Suppression, and it explains SO much. I wrote a thing about it here: x.com/SteveSkojec/st…

This is still one of the most devastating comparisons exposing the UNRWA grift. @EinatWilf explains: UNKRA resettled 3.1 million Korean refugees in just 3 years — with a fraction of UNRWA’s budget — and then closed. UNRWA? 75+ years later and the number of “refugees” has ballooned to millions of descendants because it was deliberately hijacked to perpetuate the refugee status as a political weapon against Israel instead of solving the problem. This was purposeful. This was the plan. And the West continues to be complicit by funding it.

I used to be leftwing, anti-racist, feminist. I still am actually all of those things. But I now recognise that the left, the anti-racist movement, and the feminist movement have been taken over by 5th columnists, and now stand for the exact opposite of their original aims. 🧵

Read Charles Krauthammer's take on Trump when he wrote this column in March 2018 Trump Is Not A Liberal or Conservative, He's a Pragmatist I neither view nor do I believe Trump views himself as a conservative. I stated it was my opinion that Trump is a pragmatist. He sees a problem and understands it must be fixed. He doesn't see the problem as liberal or conservative, he sees it only as a problem. That is a quality that should be admired and applauded, not condemned. But I get ahead of myself. Viewing problems from a Liberal perspective has resulted in the creation of more problems, more entitlement programs, more victims, more government, more political correctness, and more attacks on the working class in all economic strata. Viewing things according to the so-called Republican conservative perspective has brought continued spending and globalism to the detriment of American interests and well being, denial of what the real problems are, weak, ineffective, milquetoast, leadership that amounts to Barney Fife Deputy Sheriff, appeasement oriented and afraid of its own shadow. In brief, it has brought liberal ideology with a pachyderm as a mascot juxtaposed to the ass of the Democrat Party. Immigration isn't a Republican problem, it isn't a Liberal problem, it is a problem that threatens the very fabric and infrastructure of America. It demands a pragmatic approach not an approach that is intended to appease one group or another. The impending collapse of the economy wasn't a Liberal or Conservative problem, it is an American problem. That said, until it is viewed as a problem that demands a common sense approach to resolution, it will never be fixed because the Democrats and Republicans know only one way to fix things and the longevity of their impracticality has proven to have no lasting effect. Successful businessmen like Donald Trump find ways to make things work, they do not promise to accommodate. Trump uniquely understands that China's manipulation of currency is not a Republican problem or a Democrat problem. It is a problem that threatens our financial stability and he understands the proper balance needed to fix it. Here again, successful businessmen, like Trump, who have weathered the changing tides of economic reality understand what is necessary to make business work, and they, unlike both sides of the political aisle, know that if something doesn't work, you don't continue trying to make it work hoping that at some point it will. As a pragmatist, Donald Trump hasn't made wild pie-in-the-sky promises of a cell phone in every pocket, free college tuition, and a $15 hour minimum wage for working the drive-through at Carl's Hamburgers. I argue that America needs pragmatists because pragmatists see a problem and find ways to fix them. They do not see a problem and compound it by creating more problems. You may not like Donald Trump, but I suspect that the reason some people do not like him is because: (1) he is antithetical to the "good old boy" method of brokering back room deals that fatten the coffers of politicians; (2) they are unaccustomed to hearing a president speak who is unencumbered by the financial shackles of those who he owes vis-a-vis donations; (3) he is someone who is free of idiomatic political ideology; (4) he says what he is thinking, is unapologetic for his outspoken thoughts, speaks very straightforward using everyday language that can be understood by all (and is offensive to some who dislike him anyway) making him a great communicator, for the most part, does what he says he will do and; (5) he is someone who understands that it takes more than hollow promises and political correctness to make America great again.

KOMO reporter Chris Daniels asked the Seattle socialist mayor if she had changed her views on banning security cameras around the city, a demand of leftists, after experiencing a shooting near an event she was at. Her staff then shut down the interview.

Leftists cry about mean tweets and then deploy an army of degenerates to harass people on the street in the most aggressive and disgusting ways. This is why you never take their whining seriously.

🧵🚨 BREAKING: Miles Taylor: "Anonymous," former DHS Chief of Staff, Google security executive launched a website called GTFO ICE that collects your full name, email, phone number, and zip code to join an anti-ICE "rapid response network." And publishes the user infromation via a public API. 🚨 17,662 people have signed up. The sign-up data is exposed on a public REST API. No true authentication. No rate limiting. Full records: names, emails, phone numbers, zip codes, timestamps. The man who ran the third-largest federal department (250,000 employees, $60 billion budget) who oversaw election security architecture and led counterterrorism operations, then served as Google's Head of National Security Policy... ...can't secure a sign-up form. But he does milk hundreds of thousands of NGO dollars on these credentials. While freeloading off his fame as the person who wrote the infamous NYT article "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration." And despite me pinging @MilesTaylorUSA about this 12 hours ago, the REST API is still wide open and exposed as of now. Everything has been turned over to FBI, HSI, ICE, and more agencies. As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

Poverty is the natural state of mankind. For 99% of human history, every person on earth lived in what we now call extreme poverty. Capitalism did not create poverty. It inherited it and reduced it on a scale no other system has ever approached. When absolute poverty began disappearing, socialists invented "relative poverty" so that as long as anyone has more than anyone else, the crusade never ends. The goal was never to eliminate poverty. The goal was to ensure the justification for redistribution could never be satisfied.

“Feminism is just about choice” “feminism is good for women” Also feminism: In The Second Sex (1949), de Beauvoir wrote: “No woman should be authorized to stay at home… Women should not be allowed to have that choice, precisely because if there is such a choice, too many women will make it.” The mother of modern feminism believed women had to be denied freedom, because freedom would make them choose traditional roles. Firestone: In The Dialectic of Sex (1970), Firestone wrote: “The end goal of feminist revolution must be… not just the elimination of male privilege but of the sex distinction itself: genital differences between human beings would no longer matter culturally… The tyranny of the biological family would be broken.” The goal was never equality, it was the destruction of sex-based reality. Betty Friedan: “women who 'adjust' as housewives, who grow up wanting to be 'just a housewife,' are in as much danger as the millions who walked to their own death in the concentration camps...they ate suffering a slow death of mind and spirit.” Kate Millett: Sexual Politics (1970) argued: “The chief institution of patriarchy is the family. The family unit must go…” Gloria Steinem: “We Became the Men We Wanted to Marry” Steinem’s vision of feminism wasn’t about honoring womanhood, but replacing it, with a female iteration of male ambition. Friedrich Engels: In The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State, Engels (Marx’s collaborator) wrote: “The modern individual family is founded on the open or concealed domestic slavery of the wife.”To destroy capitalism, you had to destroy the traditional family. That’s why early socialist movements embraced feminism, not to liberate women, but to dissolve the structure that made civilization sustainable.

I am going to keep repeating this until people understand this. Karen Bass was not only a Castro operative and Communist, but she got elevated to Vice Chair of National Endowment for Democracy, which is the center of soft power operations in the US government. She is not a "DEI mayor." She is extremely powerful at the global stage. She was actively involved in shaping foreign policy with the Obama administration, especially Africa. Her Ghana visit during the LA wildfires wasn't a vacation, it was part of a Biden delegate to greet Ghana's new President. She was considered HUD Secretary for the Biden administration. Instead, she nominated the person who would become the actual HHS Secretary - California Attorney General Xavier Becerra. Now, let me ask you. If a literal Castro operative gets elevated to this stage, what does this imply about the rest of the United States government?
