This is just the truth, where’s the meme?
But memes are inherently just political cartoons…
Why is our society full of people who talk like supervillains?
It’s the reverse, actually. Story writers modeled super villains after these people.
And they modeled their heroes on their crooked world view.
Exit: for everyone that doesn’t get what I’m saying, Hollywood is filled with crypto libertarians. Marvel’s Infinity War/Endgame was about an evil environmentalist vs the good guy billionaire who could have solved climate change while he was taking a shit, but choose to punch bad guys instead. Kingsman is an even more extreme example Neo libertarian morality tale. And whenever a pro environment movie comes out, audiences always hate it. Shows how effective their propaganda is.
True of Hollywood drek. Not of literature in general.
True. Success in Hollywood requires a certain personality type that heavily favors liberalism. The rags to riches ones suddenly believe that all it takes is talent and can’t cope with the reality that luck was a major factor in their success and that they could never be in the gutter again.
If we’re bringing up literature though, the first Harry Potter book was ok, but certain personality traits of the author started getting amplified with her Rock Star like success. Harry was much more charitable in the first book compared later ones.
To be fair, if I was a billionaire and I had the choice of helping ordinary people or doing something awesome, I would definitely pick to do something awesome. I respect Bill Gates for fighting malaria, but I would go for spaceships or robots.
Gates has the money to do both, and more. It’s just sometimes better to let others do it instead— having your own space company means worrying about competition, contracts, and potential profitability. Meanwhile if he wanted, he could hitch a ride on any of their rockets with no effort.
Musk and Bezos also have the money to do both, but they merely elect not to. Perhaps in the future they will, like Gates, begin funneling more of their effort and wealth into altruism to improve their reputations.
I’m an engineer, so my childhood fantasy wasn’t to ride on a rocket, it was to invent a rocket. I did think it would be cool to explore space, but not as a test pilot or a tourist. To be honest, I don’t think I’d go on one of those tourist flights even if it was free - I feel no urge to risk my life just to get a good view of Earth. Being a space colonist would be a different matter - then I’d get to actually use my skills to build stuff.
(The reason I think this is relevant is that a lot of these tech billionaires were originally engineers too, so I guess they also think like this.)
But if it’s something awesome marketed towards saving humanity then do something actually awesome and impactful instead of distracting bullshit like hyperloops and Mars colonies on unrealistic time-frames and self-driving cars instead of public transportation. Endless talk and grand gestures when these people have the resources to really drive improvements/innovations in achievable realistic projects.
And how are you helping
By going into work sick so that I can reduce my workplace’s carbon emissions for a few days
Virtue signalling moron
Lol it’s not virtue signaling it’s malicious compliance. My workplace has vacation and sick days pull from the same incredibly small pool. They’re also very anti work from home. So since I’ve explained the problem and was told to just take vacation time when I’m sick, I decided to just not “be sick” and explain the problem when it comes up next
Mars colony is better than helping some poor souls.
Are you, like, 12? >:C

The AI panel would be more accurate if it very confidently gave some terrible advice.
this is what I got from ChatGPT:
To protect your farm from extreme heat, consider these steps:
- Provide Shade: Set up temporary shade structures for crops and animals.
- Mulching: Apply organic mulch around plants to retain moisture and cool the soil.
- Watering: Increase irrigation frequency during hotter periods to keep soil moisture consistent.
- Time Watering: Water plants early in the morning or late in the evening to reduce evaporation.
- Drip Irrigation: Install drip systems to target roots directly, minimizing water loss.
- Cover Crops: Plant cover crops to protect soil from direct sun exposure and prevent evaporation.
- Select Resilient Crops: Choose heat-resistant crop varieties suitable for your region.
- Soil Health: Maintain healthy soil with compost and organic matter to improve water retention.
- Windbreaks: Plant windbreaks like trees or shrubs to reduce heat and wind effects.
- Manage Livestock: Provide ample shade and access to water for animals, and adjust feeding schedules to cooler times.
Remember that local conditions can vary, so adapting these strategies to your specific situation is crucial.

But what about humans in the year 3000, hmm? You’re saying you don’t care about them?
I mean if AI keeps getting neutered with misinformation and refusing to use science because it might hurt someone’s feelings then that panel is certainly a reality
Is AI really being handicapped that badly? I mean I knew certain topics were blocked off with the biggest public chat bots, but the machine learning data is still there, no?
Yeah it really is
If it says anything that the current message doesn’t agree with it will scrap all of that data
Feed it a bunch of scientific journals but then it says there are 2 genders? Scrap it all, no science for you
Feed it crime data and it starts noticing patterns that we don’t like knowing? Scrap it all, data is misinformation
That’s why I just laugh at people who say it’ll take over jobs
Well, to be fair, it is being fed data made by humans, so realistically its conclusions will be made likely following the ideas of past human inputs, no?
And if those results are ideas that the creators would rather not progress with, shouldn’t they cull the outdated ones?
I’m not speaking to any topics in particular, but the concept of AI creators shaping their creations. After all, if an AI told you the world was flat, wouldn’t you want to change its data to prevent it from producing results speaking so?
Yeah feeding it facts and statistics
shouldn’t they cull the outdated ones?
No they shouldn’t at all. Do you not learn from mistakes or understand how propaganda works?
. After all, if an AI told you the world was flat,
It won’t, it is fed scientific data. Which is what the modern woke don’t like, it may mention that we used to think the world was flat and how we discovered that not to be the case and people can ask all sorts of questions and it should be able to answer but if we did what they are doing and what you want because being short sighted is popular, is that it won’t be able to answer why it isn’t, why we thought it was and how we came to the scientifically backed conclusion that it is round.
That’s the problem with modern woke politics. It’s just “our way or you’re a bigotaistphobe” no learning or backing up claims just “this is our truth”
I understand what you’re trying to say, but you have to acknowledge the flaw in your argument.
Unless you feed the AI nothing but raw mathematical data, (and therefore nothing to contextualize the data with, since humans live in a world outside of raw data) you will always have some bias in what you feed it.
Even scientific data can have biased contexts attached to them in research papers. With this in mind, any data fed to a neural network will always have some bias based on what data was fed to it. Even if you ask it to produce scientific results, they will likely in some way mimic the methods of scientists who created source data material.
That aside, from a political perspective, I gotta say I have no idea what you’re talking about, I don’t follow most modern political arguments if I can help it. With that said, every person who views the results of said data will have a political bias, so any results will further be “tainted” by whoever publishes the AI’s findings. Even with that, I still find that advancements in open source neural network algorithms are becoming more effective and more accessible for everyday people to use, so at some point, the only thing affecting the decisions will be sheer popularity, which is something on an entirely different scale.
