Quit trying to divide the left. At this point, I’m going to have to assume you’re a Republican if you’re still doing this shit a year after the election.

I can’t build a guitar. I can build a guitar-shaped object. But I cannot build a guitar.

Have you not seen the literature showing the effects regular LLM use has on people? You can’t see the obvious demonic connotations of a machine that coaches people into committing suicide? That’s like literal Satan, Prince of Darkness, Father of All Lies shit

Is it actually the spawn of a literal personal devil? Of course not. But the damn things act a hell of a lot like the devils of myth and legend. They tempt you in with the promise of easy effortless success and riches. And in the end they take everything from you.

Tactical urbanism ftw!

I mean, it will literally steal your soul. Using LLMs changes you. It degrades your skills. Its sycophancy harms your ability to interact with actual human beings with opinions of their own. It makes you feel like you are never wrong. And use it enough, and it can literally drive you mad.

LLMs are the closest real thing to a malevolent demon that will steal your soul.

Are you a hallucinating llm?

Why can’t the school shooters just switch to ICE? Smite someone who deserves it for once!

Hitler declared formal war upon the US.

Exactly. The US has a history of making inconvenient Latin American leaders disappear. The means vary, but the impact is the same.

When was the last time we violently deposed a Western European head of state?

TBF, attacking Venezuela like we did has a lot of historical precedent. The US has a long history of deposing inconvenient Latin American leaders.

But engaging in an unprovoked war of conquest against one of our oldest allies? Collapsing our most important defensive alliance? This is an entirely different animal. There’s no precedent for an invasion of Greenland.

We need more than that. We need potential 2028 candidates to announce that a future Democratic president should just refuse to fund ICE. If Trump can shut down entire departments by fiat, so can a future Democratic president. If SCOTUS commits the most transparent act of judicial partiality in history and wish to somehow rule that a Democratic president can’t do the exact same thing they okayed for Trump? Well tell them to pound sand.

I mean, honestly, like, if you’re going to try and buy someone’s country out from under them, at least make the offer remotely fair. You know what Greenlanders don’t have to pay for? Health insurance. You’ll burn through $100k easily in ten years in health insurance premiums, copays, etc. Realistically you should be talking millions per person, or some ongoing inflation-adjusted six-figure annuity payment. The US is only a nice place to be in if you’re wealthy. If you actually wanted to convince Greenlanders to sell their country, even if we completely ignore the desire for self-determination and independence, you should be talking about making every Greenlander wealthy by US standards.

See that’s the kind of thing we should be making mass AI propaganda for. You simply must invade a country of brown people to appease the bloodlust of your base? Use AI to create an entirely fake country and fake an entire invasion and brutal occupation of that country. Blame a nonexistent ethnic group for all of society’s problems. Get all the propaganda benefits of imperialist wars without all the expense and blood shed.

This is the kind of innovation we could be having right now!

I’m god times infinity! (Infinity factorial.)

Well I declare myself One-above-god + 1! You are inferior deity!

The US has given up captured territories before. Including the Panama Canal Zone, the Philippines, Cuba, and others.

Is it? That’s not why we built the land-grant university system, for instance.

Seriously. This CEO just wants cheaper contractors and hotel stays.

The CEOs job is to serve as a shiny object and to fart out mountains of inspirational drivel. They’re human LLMs.

How many children in the 1980s were acutely aware of Trump? I imagine very few. You’re talking about people who were in their twenties and older in the 1980s. And if you were 25 in 1984, you were 65 in 2024. A lot of the electorate is simply too young to remember Trump in his 1980s incarnation. And while older voters do vote at higher rates, the difference is massively overblown.
