why did my score go down (don't say goods)

@jimstewartson in the Ian Banks Culture novels everyone is free to change gender and even biological sex at will so i get the impression he hasn't read any of those books.

The depth of Elon Musk’s messianic delusions is not fully appreciated. He is a transhumanist eugenicist who thinks humans are a “biological bootloader” for AI. He believes that purging humanity of “inferior races” is crucial to his mission of creating a superintelligence. Musk tells accelerationist fraud Peter Diamandis that humanity will be like an “Iain Banks Culture sort of future.” The Culture is a science fiction series by socialist author Iain M. Banks in which humanity is a kind of pet for giant AIs that control huge spaceships. Humans can change their bodies into almost anything—switch gender, add wings, etc.—and take all the drugs they want. This is the future Musk imagines: Superintelligent AIs that allow a few elites to hang around enjoying “abundance.” The rest of us are nowhere to be found in his vision. His only response to the poors is to just throw money at us—because he says it’s worth nothing anyway. In reality, he will use his unlimited money and power to try to cull the population. He’s already started. MUSK: And I do think we’ll have universal income. We’ll basically just issue money to people and the, really, just because the output of goods and services will so far exceed the money supply. But that, that effectively you have deflation. Because just deflation is just the ratio of the output of goods and services to the money supply. So that’s, so if the rate of growth of goods and services or exceeds the rate of growth of the money supply, which I predict will happen, then you will have deflation. DIAMANDIS: Yes. And a lot of people spinning up new companies, competing against each other, driving the price down and increasing the variability and deflation. Faster and faster. MUSK: Yeah, it’s basically, yeah, AI and robots are going to make so much stuff and provide to many services that they will actually run out of things to do for the humans. They’ll just run out of things to do for the humans. And then they, well, you know, there’s only so much that humans can even express that they want. So you go back to my example of like, if you go a million times greater than the host economy, you’ve long since saturated all human desire. You know, maybe like, if you go a thousand times more than our current economy, thousand times, you probably have already saturated saturated human, anything people can think of that they want. DIAMANDIS: So do you think the value of money is going to significantly decrease? Will it, will we go post capitalist? MUSK: Yeah, I think money will stop being relevant at some point in the future. So just as you’re becoming-- It’s probably something like an Iain Banks Culture sort of future. And I think the AI down the road will really not use human currency. It will just care about power and mass, what is in tonnage? DIAMANDIS: It’s kind of ironic then, right? Just as you’re becoming a multi-trillionaire or money starts to have less value. MUSK: Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, you know, there’s all this stuff. It’s really just truly the interest represents like some percentage ownership in companies that I have, you know, built. And it’s not like sitting in the bank account. It’s just literally, I don’t know, percentage of the companies the companies are doing. Let’s say useful things, the value that company grows. I own a percentage of the companies. And that sums up to that number, which seems high.

@McSmurray @Nowooski i would never. this is a point in your favor.

@SwampConcept @Nowooski I don’t know the Beatles well enough to catch the reference, pls no bully

Just got a “silver alert” which is a good reminder that California decided to racially segregate its missing person alert system for some reason.

@McSmurray @Nowooski i don't like the guy but john lennon answered this one

@Nowooski Now I’m no phrenologist, but wouldn’t the term “indigenous person” automatically include “indigenous women”??? Why would they possibly be listed separately lol

@beersalt1 @jptrades2000 @unusual_whales *pretends to comprehend word salad spouted by a severe drug addict* *gets made fun of* "what a baby this guy is" hysterical bit.

@SwampConcept @jptrades2000 @unusual_whales Awe, baby hates facts?

Alex Karp of Palantir, $PLTR, has said: “If you run around saying AI allowed you to fire two-thirds of your workforce—because maybe your competitor’s kicking your ass—you might as well just go sign up for the Bernie Sanders manifesto."

@BigTheGyat @gayest_tone your counter to my claim that nothing happens to bosses when employees get fired involves you getting fired and nothing happening to your boss? are you sure that's a sound argument?

@SwampConcept @gayest_tone when i was stocking groceries i no call no showed like four times in as many months before they finally fired me because i was the only one who wasnt either already a team lead or completely brain dead

One of the wildest things about the current job market is every other position is fake, everyone is understaffed, but if you’re semi competent and able to handle all that, bosses are still constantly TERRIFIED you’ll leave.

"i wanna pound off to them," kennedy continued.

@Drive_grind @unusual_whales it's cool that you're pretending he said something comprehensible

@unusual_whales that is such a cold take, honestly kind of wild.

@beersalt1 @jptrades2000 @unusual_whales shut up bitch

@jptrades2000 @unusual_whales You tards need to watch the actual interview. He’s saying CEOs are laying off people saying it’s AI related when it’s really because they’re fucking up their business. E.g squares layoffs were because they severely over hired during Covid but Jack said it was due to AI

@jptrades2000 @unusual_whales he's on the most drugs out of all of them, which is saying something.

@unusual_whales Genuinely what the fuck is this guy talking about

i do like the song by the band house boat called throwing in those weird chords did wonders for the copyrights and dopamines (theme from house boat). that's true.

@McSmurray @daltonleepruitt the character from Lexx? thought that show was canadian

@daltonleepruitt Australia did her so dirty I almost can't believe it

Imagine reading a Thomas Pynchon book and there’s a character named Xev Bellringer

@stevegalaxius @gayest_tone sorry but it's still actually worse than this. SOP 15 years ago was to have unlimited pto, never allow days off, make sure no BU has more than two people in it, then give one a raise and intimidate the other one into resigning when they ask for the same raise. it's worse now.

@gayest_tone @SwampConcept Standard procedure in 2026 is threatening to fire you while also refusing to let you take a day off work

@LawlessNationX @MAHA_Action but then you would starve and die

Medicaid should not exist. It’s healthcare welfare. No form of welfare should exist. The federal government was not formed to take what one person earns to give to someone else and it doesn’t matter how destitute someone is. The same goes for foreign aid. It is not the responsibility of the American taxpayer to fund things for foreign countries. What a crazy idea. Our federal deficit would disappear if we stopped stealing from productive people to give to welfare rats and foreigners. Work or starve…your choice and your responsibility and nothing to do with me so I shouldn’t be paying your way.

“You were not put on this planet to sit at home and watch television.” “The average person who’s on Medicaid, who’s able-bodied, watches 6.1 hours of television or just hangs out every day.” Dr. Oz says stronger Medicaid work requirements can help people get back on their feet and rediscover purpose. “That’s not why God put you here.” “Go show what you can do in the world.”

@CameronCorduroy way too lenient

the only way out of this spiral is for every member of this administration to spend the rest of their lives in prison

that's a great idea steve! go for it!

@LinaJan02491152 @gayest_tone lmao are you like a little kid or something?

@SwampConcept @gayest_tone the company eventually goes bankrupt

@LinaJan02491152 @gayest_tone i'm not sure what you mean. my claim is that there are no consequences for the manager, not that there are no consequences for the workers.

@SwampConcept @gayest_tone there are not systemic conseqeunces in the sense of someone doing something to perma solve it but there are consequence of the office life becoming shit because no one is getting done shit

@HeatherK9070 @TheRickWilson @DesdemonaRoseG louisiana is ranked 46th in the country in education

@TheRickWilson @DesdemonaRoseG Listen, in Louisiana we got a saying: don’t let the fox teach the henhouse economics. Rick Scott’s company paid $1.7 billion — billion — for Medicare fraud. That’s your answer on healthcare costs right there.

Tell us about the time you stole billions from Medicare, Rick.

he's flattered trump is stealing his idea for robbing all of his constituents.
