I am in a small city in rural PA. Far from the NYC outskirts I live in.

18 hour ISP blackout so far. I bet they wished they had a data center in their community. They have the space in rural PA to put one.

BeCaUsE wE gEt AsKeD aLoT. my friend wants to know who's asking.

who the heck is asking for a 22 point rambling manifesto from a tech company about pluralism or whatever. this is a shower argument.

6k likes, maybe out of however many bots there were some schlubby potatomen who wanted to know, so maybe i'm talking out my ass.

unironically channeling starship troopers lmao. we need to drop thiel and the bulk of the trump administration and their satellites out of the first airplane into the gun sights of iranian antiaircraft.

the CEO of palantir has a book to sell. that's why they're soft-rolling out this dangerous, pseud-ish claptrap.

remember when people used to earnestly argue on this forum that a government led by nerds and ‘rational’ engineers would be so much better than WASPs/toffs?

My post above didn't cover the end-game in terms of property.

In the future people will not own property, they will be naked in the desert in indentured servitude working to pay off their itunes and youtube subscriptions, their only entertainment being what AI slop they can afford to streams, as they whisper legends of people possessing CDs, DVDs, LPs - and even the means to play them.

blackrock and have investors have been making pincer movements on the housing market, just as all these nasty-ass tech fascists are trying to embed themselves in the (former) social welfare state – healthcare systems, civil service, departments of defense, etc.

they're all eugenicists anyway, echoing a lot of your former malthusian claptrap about population levels being too high, too many undesirables, etc.

the tech-lords who are gleefully announcing the end of white collar work speak out of two sides of their mouth simultaneously. at glamorous self-congratulatory 'summits', interviewed on the world stage alongside politicians for glossy magazines, they'll talk fashionably about UBI and government support for the vast swathes of unemployable meat-sacks. but they also talk about their natural aristocracy of high-IQ effective altruist silicon valley ubermenschen, which wants nothing so much as for most of the world to fuck off and die so that they can enjoy sailing their superyachts around the world unimpeded by things like tax (or human trafficking and sex offences, ahem).

i think the tech lords would just as soon try and bid the USA/china/russia/etc. against one another for their own technological supremacy. i am quite sure that whoever attains AGI/ASI first, in their fervid overactive sci-fi nerd imaginations (it'll never happen), would love nothing so much as to have xi and trump come before them, begging for the goods. this is really the endgame fantasies they dream about.

invoking darwinian selection to talk about organisations whose playbook is to seek monopolistic government contracts and to shield themselves from the free-market of open competition to the fullest extent possible. yep, nice one. remind me, did galapagos turtles have pentagon contracts?

pseudo-scientific, victorian race ideology guff is what keeps leading us into these messes. 'let the STEM ubermensch engineer a better tomorrow! it'll work this time! oh no, wait, why are they developing killer robots while caring not a jot for ethics or supporting genocidal states? they didn't mention this at ICL '.

peter thiel is a christian of german immigrant stock, and is the real brains and money behind the whole thing. alex karp could have had a very different trajectory in life if he didn't get sucked into that stanford-silicon valley thing.

Speaking of Silicon Valley...Eric Swalwell. I am not at surprised he was doing what he was. I am a brown weasel man in NJ and have a harem of 5s. Rich California frat guy in Congress had too much temptation to survive "Hollywood for ugly people."

this not the takeaway, but if you asked someone in the in the 70s or 80s what 2020s fashion would look like, their answer would probably be way closer to jetsons than "suit and tie, a smidgeon different than the previous generation of suits and ties."

what a painfully slow evolution. if it wasn't for certain things holding us back, we'd have self-lacing shoes and discs around our neck like the rings of saturn, flying fusion-powered skycars that sound like theramins. instead, we have trump and a catastrophic global economic crisis he caused.

today, i've seen cracks around the edges of right-wing ostrich holes, but as usual people stop just short of admitting they're wrong. the 'on-the-fence' maga person said our infrastructure is overbuilt and that's why construction companies are shutting down.

maybe 'running the country like a business' was never going to work, and certainly not when run by a guy with a track record of business failure and cheating contractors and floating stuff out that just makes life worse (and epstein, hello?!)! that's really the business they want america looking like, well, they voted for it. "that elon musk is a really swell guy. he saved nasa. doge is great, so much corruption rooted out!"

US infrastructure is worn out and needs to be replaced.

Don't US businesses often abandon factories and build a new one down the road?
Applying that concept to running a country is refreshing I suppose.

I mean yeah

is that respect? epstein was a child-molesting arch-pimp for the wealthy, and musk wants to pay other women for procreative sex for whatever reason, and is named in the epstein files. a fat-shamed fat-shamer on weight loss drugs with who knows how many gender-affirming surgeries. where would he be without money.

you are a generation above here, still lack children, and are casting aspersions on someone in their 30s who may yet, for living with a woman and her cat. lol

i can have a kid whenever i want, you fucking idiot. what the hell does that have to do with anything - least of all the suitability of these people to embed themselves into the democratic state and sway politics?

and hello -- you're single and by this point infertile. throw around the stupid darwinian 'survival of the fittest' bullshit a little less in that glass greenhouse over there in woolloomooloo. by your own brainwashed STEM edgelord standard, you are biological detritus. and about 70% of your entire personality is defined by owning a cat . you gots the feline brain parasite, man. i don't feel particularly cowed or put upon by an animal.

i'll take some jibes from a nice well-adjusted fellow like KEN but you are literally the last person on this forum who should be casting aspersions in any direction. i'm surprised you haven't been aziz ansari'd already.
