The cyclical “disaster” every 5-10 years is simply the system “culling the herd”, thinning out the population so there’s more wealthy and less poor, every time. Working as designed. Just like gatekeeping our healthcare with a paywall you need to be wealthy to get past. They don’t want the poor to exist, so they do things so they cannot survive.

I recently started debating with myself why we don’t consider artificial intelligence genuine life. I begin with the most broad truth and work towards narrowing it down to get the most specific, essential truth.

So far, I believe that the fact we have emotion is probably the single biggest determining factor in whether we are truly alive, or other words, really a form of life… More specifically, intelligent life.

Can anyone build on this? Maybe try to find a slightly narrower definition of why we believe we are alive and AI isn’t?.. And what about humans born without any functional emotions whatsoever, ie severe cases of sociopaths, psychopaths, etc. Does that mean they’re not?

Release the evil

Right around 2000 I swore off McDonald’s and Burger King. They were screwing around with their French fries in an attempt to improve profits, and to be blunt, they didn’t taste good anymore. I think they changed the type of oil to something cheaper and it sucked. The last time I went to Burger King was when they had a 99 cent Whopper sale. I didn’t feel that they were worth any more than that. How long ago was that?

They probably want us grateful for one ply. Soon, they cut costs even more and just give us the raw unprocessed stuff, plywood.

I think you’re completely right. Information warfare is something new to a lot of people. I’ve been following a very credible, insightful teacher about this topic on YouTube, by the name of Ryan McBeth. I highly suggest everyone checks out his channel. He’s retired US infantry, but a current intelligence analyst and content creator who is VERY good at what he does. He’s taught me a lot about misinformation and disinformation, how it’s used, how to spot it, and how to fight it, and showing example of how governments and businesses are using it. Truly someone worth your ear.

His heart exploded from excessive cocaine use

The companies doing the advertising are totally fine with it because it creates fake peer pressure and gives potential customers a fear of missing out on what’s trending. Astroturfing is fine as long as it serves the will of the wealthy.

This is precisely what it is

Does the term “delay” ring any bells?

I’m just sick of the droves of low effort jokes on reddit. If you don’t have any content to add, then shut the fuck up.
