Vance doesn’t know that

Insult Musk on Twitter, wait until posts are censored, sue X for not having freedom of speech. How’s that for American values?

Sci-fi comedy predicting the future again.

That’s probably the perception. Democrats have been in power for 4 years, things didn’t get better for a lot of people and then they say to vote for them for more of the same. Surprisingly that doesn’t help with voter enthusiasm. They’ll have more chance next time with messaging things won’t get worse with them after Trump mishandled stuff.

Simple, good-sounding things they want to hear is what wins elections these days.

Robocop tube begins playing. OCP starts construction of Delta City.

“But he tells it like it is!” they say.

Then you listen Trump giving s speech and telling 4 outright lies in the first 3 rambling sentences.

USA is a country with a lot of inequality, if not rising inequality, so a fertile breeding ground for populists. And it has an ancient voting system that always gives a two party system so perfect for this kind of polarisation. The system with campaign contributions will also make sure nothing changes about inequality and is making things worse. Yeah, it’ll happen again.

Engineers: we can’t make transistors smaller because they wouldn’t work because of those quantum effects

Different engineers: but what if we use quantum effects as the basis to make smaller transistors work

Technically a checkers program is also AI if you check the dictionary definition. Many will say it’s not “real AI” as it doesn’t have general intelligence but it’s still AI. Snake oil salesmen love that.

Unpopular opinion: too big budget gives a bad movie. Lower budgets forces people to be more creative and keeps the suits away that would otherwise make it a designs by committee.

And then the car mistook the side of a white semi for the sky and plowed full speed into the semi, decapitating the driver. These systems see, but don’t really understand what they see.

The classic trick. For your protection, do not show any skin or your hair to not seduce men. Always be accompanied by a male relative or husband for your protection. Yes, dating is more difficult like that so we’ll arrange the marriage. Yes, working is hard that way, so stay at home taking care of your husband and many children.

You don’t want to live on Mars when Musk is in charge of the oxygen you breath.

That’s why we have a list of words and abbreviation with their definition in our sales and specifications. That way we can avoid the whole “but I define it as” problem because every customer really likes to redefine the meaning of words, and usually all in a different way.

But yes, let’s hope to never meet in “debate” again. I hate to think what a discussion about “is cultured meat actually meat” would be like.

How very “Handmaid’s Tale” of them. Next it’ll be uniforms, the lessons and activities allowed for girls are whittled down, separate lessons with some more indoctrination… It’s clear that’s what the government is aiming for and people voted for it.

It’s the modern version of sacrificing people in a volcano to appease the gods.

“Fuck it, might as well keep doing what I’m doing.”

And that last group is going to be angry when they can’t keep doing their stuff when insurance rates go insane so they can’t buy houses or cars, or when food prices keep going up even faster than they are now.
