these were all 3-10 comments from the OP for my sort, but I don’t have a bluesky account so not being logged in might influence how I’m seeing the thread

god, the comments got heavily raided by various types of lazy TESCREAL:

  • how dare you doom all future generations to dying by pointing out that immortality under capitalism would be a living hell. you monster.
  • sure but life extension technology is real and on the horizon isn’t it? and then I can become functionally immortal! (no and shut up)
  • somehow, it’s bad optics to point out that rich people chasing immortality is fucking things up for everyone else

and not only did none of these fuckers get the point, they’re also making points that aren’t at all common outside of TESCREAL circles? like, no normal person I know naturally slips into the “but think of the Bayesian children” modality of thought.

is this just how Blue Sky is? I don’t browse it much outside of David’s threads.

literally unreadable

image descriptionthe most ordinary newspaper headline I could find: the San Francisco Chronicle’s front page where the title is “INVASION!” in the biggest font they could justify (pun intended) and the subtitle is “Allies pouring into Northern France!” because it’s a headline about the Nazi killing parts of world war 2 I like and recommend

404media posted an article absolutely dunking on the idea of pivoting to AI, as one does:

media executives still see AI as a business opportunity and a shiny object that they can tell investors and their staffs that they are very bullish on. They have to say this, I guess, because everything else they have tried hasn’t worked

my urge to delete all 18 is rising

I was hoping they’d get interesting so I didn’t jump on banning them, but holy shit did they ever take so much space in the thread to say fucking nothing. now I’m pruning hopefully just enough so viewers can get a taste of how much horseshit they were spewing without being tempted to take up more space continuing any of it.

you noticed that debate wasn’t allowed here and then turned an entire thread into a pointless fucking debate. thanks for that. fuck off.
