Money saved: maybe a couple million dollars.

People killed: around three quarters of a million.

Never forget that DOGE was formed so Elon et al could fumble around sensitive government databases in order to hamper multiple investigations into his companies and government contracts

He is now a trillionaire thanks in no small part to this fiasco

I worry a little bit that people who refuse to learn about ai as a part of their anti ai position are going to be extremely unprepared to understand what’s actually scary about it and already have their digital literacy at risk tbh

[amanitaphalloides]

not that I am some genius in this regard but if you follow ai developments even slightly you might change the things you are most worried about. do people know the extent to which ai is already eating itself and how meaningless this is making swaths of the internet. do people know that there are plenty of random mid-sized companies today buying their employees’ likenesses to create digital clones and using these to make hundreds of videos. I am so much more worried about labor and surveillance and abuse than people becoming lazy about writing emails. and idk man I sort of like and respect people who are willfully ignorant about it as a way of minimizing its force in their lives and I am in some ways jealous but also when I see posts that basically still boil down to “chatgpt will never fool me” I am like 😭😭😭 for one thing not the only thing to be concerned about, for another thing I am really sorry but I don’t think you’re right

just saw a pigeon doing the puffed up courtship dance thing to another pigeon, and as he was strutting around he suddenly stopped for a split second to do a very brief preen-peck at his own side, then returned to the strutting around. and i surprised myself by instantly losing respect for the male pigeon in that moment, like come on man i appreciate you had an itch or whatever but how is she supposed to feel special when you're getting distracted by bullshit like that? which on reflection i don't endorse, i mean those are pretty harsh dating norms i'm imposing on these pigeons, from a total outsider perspective, for no reason. probably not all girl pigeons are as uptight about that sort of thing as i would apparently be if i was a girl pigeon, maybe she even found it endearing who knows, i don't know her. it's none of my business really. sorry pigeons.

The magic of childhood is that you were constantly encountering new things. The best way to feel that way again is to fill your life with new experiences.

if you think about it, the social contract of the Car largely mirrors antiquated notions of patriarchial chivalry... the Big, Strong Automobile, which inherently has the power to maim and kill, must yield the right of way to the misogynized pedestrian, as a show of the Automobile's power & potential lethality. "ladies first," all in a world where more and more space is carved out day by day for the Automobile... now, contrast this with the locomotive, where all passengers are equal... thus you can see that not having a car is emasculating, having to ride public transportation with other people is emasculating, and women are even derided as being poorer drivers. Men do not like the train because it renders them effectively homosexual; they thrive on the upper end of inequality and feel like nothing without it. Taking the train is essentially lesbian frotting

the thing about Eurovision is that once you have Australia and Israel in there and an open invitation to Canada it becomes abundantly clear that it's just doing white nationalism with the fun liberal/nationalist sprinkling of anti-americanism

[strawberry-crocodile]

like i absolutely do get that the US has been doing cultural imperialism on the rest of the world (including the imperial core) for the last 80 years but also MAN is it a needle to thread trying to counter that within White Countries without getting into nationalism and also using the US as a sin eater for your countries own involvement in imperialism and colonial violence, past and present.

[strawberry-crocodile]

but also yeah eurovision having isreal is not JUST them condoning an active genocide it is ALSO them conceding that they're not about the geographical region of europe they are about a unified white race*

*just without the US who are all eeevil racist conservatives haha unlike us
