I don't think liberals understand that a huge chunk of leftists are former liberals themselves lol. Like we get you because we used to be you, and that's why your arguments generally don't work with us.

anti-AI β€œcredo”

I have a religious exemption from using all generative β€œA.I.” I am not a member of the Silicon Valley sect. Their beliefs and practices are an affront to my sensibilities. The tech is trained on stolen intellectual property. The output is riddled with mistakes, and it is incapable of comprehending the weight of its errors. It is not even an β€œit.” But sometimes, it is filtered and massaged by unaccountable human sweatshop workers and bad actors. I am not required to use β€œA.I.” any more than I am required to join Amway, buy black market rhino horn, or attend the Fyre Festival. As a human, I have a duty and right to limit my carbon and water footprint and protect my fellow human. As a union worker, I have a duty and right to oppose tech that is used to threaten workers or cheapen our product. As a tech consumer, I have a duty and right to oppose scams that lower the quality of our tools. As a scholar, I have a duty and right to oppose anti-intellectualism. As a taxpayer, I have a duty and right to oppose the misallocation of public funds and data. As a grown up, I have a duty and right to protect young people from predators. As a person with a conscience, I am appalled at the decadent disregard for user safety, the callous dismissal of responsibility for lives ruined and slaughtered. My religion is related to my identity, geography, and family, making it an irrelevant accident of birth. What matters is that I was born. I have an exemption from their digital rapture, their cultural austerity, their intellectual poverty. I practice wholesome hedonism and First Do No Harm.

hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message:

- the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next
- a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9

Occupy Democrats is a fake news/clickbait operation run by twin Floridian brothers who've also run a fraudulent enterprise that was shut down by the federal government. And no I don't mean the Krassensteins. It's a different set of guys

"We pumped dozens of stories about Cuban atrocities, Cuban rapists... we didn't know of a single atrocity committed by the Cubans. It was pure raw false propaganda to create an illusion of communists eating babies for breakfast."

Always was curious how many of his ideas were "crowdsourced" in his heyday (he put his email in the strips and presumably people wrote in with funny things that happened in their office). Not a capital offense oc but essentially, in Dilbert terms, a spikey haired boss move.

Seth: Hi [redacted]. Is the NYT still planning to publish the interview I did with Ross three weeks ago?

[redacted]: Hey Seth, we've been working through the edit and it's looking like we aren't going to be able to make it work. We were kind of pummeled by the news cycle in the last 6 weeks and are going to pivot away from this story. Thanks for the time you put into it and for your expertise.

Seth: Unbelievable cowardice on Ross's part and a giant waste of my time. I'm going to make it known what actually happened: Ross challenged me to a debate on foreign policy, got crushed, and doesn't have the intellectual or journalistic integrity to air the footage.

seth harp (writer of The Fort Bragg Cartel) debated ross douthat (from the epstein files, nyt oped writer) about foreign policy and it went so poorly for ross that he refuses to release the video

Genocidal pedophillic zionists and billionaires at the highest levels of power are purposefully bringing death to the world, purposefully sowing collapse on a global level so that the richest capitalists on the planet can survive off of the enslavement and labor of everyone beneath them.
