I only take complaints seriously when they come from people from the global south. I couldn’t care about what some lanyard says on his way to kiss Biden’s feet

I’ve always found people who freak out about AI sentience extremely pathetic. Just absolute baboons who get impressed by mundane shit. I first came across it with the whole “roko’s basilisk” shit and immediately dismissed them as morons, and many years later I’m still validated

“I started to realize, this was never a game I could win,” the participant, who took a leave of absence from work to film the show, said. “I’m not a contestant, I’m an extra.”

They applied for the show themselves after receiving a targeted ad on Instagram, while other cast members included a TikTok star, a set of twins, a father-child pair, and others who had been directly contacted by production.

These are literally scenes from Squid Game

That’s crazy. Someone should make a satirical drama about the exploitation of workers and poor people being commoditized as a deadly game show for rich people

This is why everyone in politics is like 500 years old. If everyone was :caught-in-4che: then people would fall in love and either be manipulated into supporting the enemy’s interests, or just make the world peaceful so they can have sex with each other without worrying about nukes

Mao contended that Deng Xiaoping was a capitalist roader and that the Soviet Union fell to capitalist roaders from within the Communist Party of the Soviet Union after the death of Joseph Stalin in 1953.

Well, he wasn’t entirely wrong. But if Khrushchev was a roader, then what does that make Mao? Out of the two, Mao’s china was supporting fascist, genocidal forces across the globe while the USSR was still backing communist forces.
