It’s like a weekly headline in the good ol usa. Type “toddler shoots” in any search engine and get dozens of similar headlines.

I didn’t mention parties, shit for brains.

The colloquial we, I most certainly did not vote for this either but I’m American and will be painted with the same brush the rest of the world paints us.

Agree wholeheartedly on the Cassandra’s comment, I’m wearing it as a badge of pride.

Yet somehow it was the “tea party” republicans that ultimately delivered all this bullshit.

Yes, this is the future we all wanted, a workforce consisting of nothing but influencers and prison labor (what else are those camps for). The american dream everyone!

I mean, the us knowingly and willfully handed this fucker everything. This on the heels of the Supreme Court essentially making him untouchable. None of what is happening was a secret, it was literally written down in a plan that we all could see.

America decided that a felon, admitted sexual predator, and a the most prolific liar to ever hold office was a better choice to lead us. I’d say we go exactly what we asked for.

Criminal, that fits, evil, that too, disastrous, for sure, but I can’t call them rogue when this is precisely what we apparently wanted (we tried to warn them).

But think of the internet points. You are hoarding all of them, Abundance114 needs some too!

Aside.. I totally agree with your original post. 40 years I’ve been bitching about my awful family. For 39, the rest of them have been telling me what an asshole I am for speaking my mind. For some reason, they have been agreeing with me more and more over the past year.

Fixed - “The US news media is succeeding in its mission to prevent the public from knowing there is a possible war with Iran coming”

What did ever happen to that one old lady anyway?

I don’t hate AI, I kinda like it and I do think it will redefine computing in the future.

I hate the people behind it, and who are pushing it. I hate the hype, I hate the pressure, I hate how dangerous it is without guardrails, I hate the stupidity of people using it, and getting addicted to it because it’s an ego stoking machine. I hate the entire industry around it.

But I really enjoy using and learning about it in my own sandbox. I use a number of local LLMs successfully for research and learning. But I don’t trust them, at all, I think of them as an egotistical knowitall who has no problem lying to make themselves feel smart. There’s tons of useful info to get from them, but you have to understand what you are dealing with.

I’m very curious what the future looks like. It really depends on us though. Critical thinking and being observant are the new critical skills for success in the he future. Unfortunately neither are particularly common these days so I have a feeling I will continue to hate for a while now…

I haven’t been on facebook in like 10 years, but sounds like it’s exactly as I picture it.
