Just wait until all the venture capital OpenAi raised on a valuation that assumes they will singlehandedly achieve the singularity in 2027, replace all human workers by 2028, and convert 75% of the Earth’s crust to paperclips by 2030 runs out, they can’t operate at a loss anymore, and have to raises prices to a point where they’re actually making a profit.
Guess he was really leaning into the whole “impersonating a police officer” thing.
In a word, Enshittification. The original Cory Doctorow article explaining it
It’s not censorship. It’s just what happens to any platform run by a publicly traded company whose customers are the advertisers and whose users are the product.
Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines (RTLM) (Kinyarwanda: Radiyo yigenga y’imisozi igihumbi), nicknamed “Radio Genocide” or “Hutu Power Radio”, was a Rwandan radio station which broadcast from July 8, 1993, to July 31, 1994. It played a significant role in inciting the Rwandan genocide that took place from April to July 1994, and has been described by some scholars as having been a de facto arm of the Hutu regime in Rwanda.[1]

If you’re going to protest, be sure to let Google know about it!
I’ll answer your question with two more questions:
What’s the opposite of a rat king? What’s the opposite of an ant mill?
Also I have to question your whole premise of the relationship between religion and cult. Where a cult is the bad kind of something and a religion is the neutral, default kind.
A religion is just the final form of a successful cult that got big enough and old enough that it no longer needs to take the drastic “cult-like” measures to restrict its members and separate them from society- because it has thoroughly infiltrated and colonizied that society to such an extent that being born into that society is enough.
That’s how I read it too at first- and as bad as ‘erotic role play’ with a LLM chatbot sounds, the other one is so much horribly worse.
Decarbonized oil is just very inefficiently produced hydrogen.
I would also like to say, fuck Glenn Greenwald.
And here is a better source on why fuck Palantir: Behind The Bastards
Your budget BEEP
Your budget is now balanced. BEEP
Disappointed by the lack of ‘hanging upside-down, being sawn in half crotch first’
Those black-eyed peas? They tasted alright to me, Earl…
Also, next summer is July 4 2026- a nice round 250 years since July 4 1776. So I don’t know what’s planned but I would be surprised if it’s nothing. Then in November the midterm elections, which really are the test of whether their whole Project 2025 revolution succeeds or fails. If the system continues to work as usual, Republicans lose control of congress. If not, everyone realizes we’ve already had our last free and fair election and the fix is in for 2028 too. So that’s going to be an interesting four months.
I don’t foresee any elections getting cancelled. Russia has ‘elections’. North Korea has ‘elections…’ What I do see happening is “Antifa” getting officially designated as a terrorist organization, and using AI to mass analyze who is probably an "antifa member " and enough of them being detained around the election in all the right counties to ensure that Democrats can’t win.
Isn’t this why they specifically put acetaminophen in opioid+nsaid prescription painkillers, instead of ibuprofen or aspirin or naproxen? Just to discourage abuse because if you take too much it’ll destroy your liver. Has always seemed a bit fucked up to me.
