   AI has only made it worse. I stopped using instagram for a while but went back on it last week. The number of AI videos was just incredible. What happened to the place where I could see the photos from my friends? Why does Meta think I want

   I have really noticed that over the past year or two. A worrying number of Americans seem to lack even basic knowledge of the world outside America or even have the ability to think seriously about the long term consequences of decisions. T

    Europe has nuclear arms. Even Germay could, if the could get off their arses and get serious about defense.

    The beginning is already here, I think. At least things are very much not the same as they were a year ago.

    On the contrary, kidnapping the defacto leader of a nation is very much an act of war.

    But then you'd have to stop all the anti-EU and anti-UK stuff too. Is that really a price worth paying?

    That might be why they left, no? The ones who stayed presumably tolerate him more.

    I feel like it's because the people pushing it have a terrible track record. They've shown themselves to be manipulative, untrustworthy, and willing to do whatever it takes to make themselves rich. Why should we trust them with AI

    Yes, you can do that. But you do need to alter your attitude for long periods and that usually means you point away from the optimal position for the solar panels and for the antennas pointing towards the ground. So yes, but only at the cos
