Read the comment again, they’re talking about the farming parts of California not wanting to joined the rest of the state in leaving.

The gennys on those things could be faulty and fill the thing with CO.

Hoooking them up and dragging them to the middle of nowhere would be better though.

Fargo style (the tv show)

How many less of these boomer fuckwads would exist if their parents hadn’t vaccinated them?

Maybe all the vaccines buy-in in the 50s was a mistake.

Don’t they grow most of the food?

Patreon seems like the most likely competitor. I think some content is now hosted directly there.

Yeah lobotomies are redundant for those morons.

Plenty of us do have steel doors and dead bolts (heavy duty locks).

But the police also have these:

If they want in, they will come in.

Yeah that’s kinda what I was envisioning, maybe half the tether zingin off into space when the other half fell into the pacific or desert, but even half is gonna be like 20,000km I guess.

Also wasn’t there a scenario like this in one of the Mars Trilogy books?

It was supposed to say “death and” autocorrect had other ideas I guess.

Democrats would have to effectively organize and train in a large enough group to not just be instantly wiped out or imprisoned as “insurrectionists”. Technically it would be an insurrection, but with some outside help or military backing it could turn into a coup.

Does the rest of the world want a destabilized civil warring nuclear state? It’s not likely to stay contained even in the western hemisphere.

The European aristocracy was “absolutely gleeful in pronouncing the American debacle as proof that the entire experiment in popular government had failed. European government leaders welcomed the fragmentation of the ascendant American Republic.”[134]

History rhyming again I guess.

They hit plenty of cops in the backs of their heads.

Yeah the dearth of destruction left by it falling would be insane. I assume it would have to be built along mainly west coasts to mitigate risks.

If we had real AGI and not just shitty chatbots, we could tell them to melt their GPUs for the good of the planet.

Unfortunately here in the US it’s increasingly pertinent information. It makes me want to pack up my family and leave to somewhere sane (er).

NES Where’s Waldo was pretty bad too especially for fans of the books.

There was a helicopter shooting game that somehow didn’t really work with the light gun too, but I forget the name.

Even the gestures? Mac’s gesturing system for the UI and all native and most non native apps is why I stay with it.

They’ve been the same for my entire life now. What do you think Nixon and his pals (some of whom are still in politics) were?

They think AGI will be able to make better solutions from their dumb ideas. They think it’ll be a magic bullet to what? Another notch on the billionaire list. The end goal in itself is sick to begin with for most of them, or else they’d be running non profits to help the world.

Same for tax revenue. These AI companies aren’t profitable, and I have a hard time seeing them ever paying enough taxes to make up for the costs of their presence, especially in a smaller community.
