It’s the most cognizant thing I think I’ve heard him say. The “fuck” pulls it together and makes him sound almost normal.

Almost.

I came here to say Dungeons & Dragons. People of all ages and walks of life play.

Yes. That is the Theil model for social engineering. To do it via suggestion in AI.

Bot responses so trends are assumed where there are none. Movements even.

Suggest one answer or idea over another with ChatBots.

No longer do you have to search through enshittified Google, just tap the AI at the top to find the answer for you.

But why did the AI choose that answer, for you?

That’s no longer a universal thing.

Didn’t Theil explain this was the goal in an often repeated vid, I forget from where, he’s speaking at a podium though.

AI. Probably.

I admit, my skepticism regarding these companies has me leaving a black sticker on my selfie cam for a couple years now.

Google does similar, stating it’s for safety.

“Make me an offer” is the worst.

Medically, 51 isn’t old.

Not me. That’s is above my pay grade.

The main point is someone has to decide.

Organ transplant.

There’s a board who decides which patients qualify for the list. If you are someone who sat in a chair gaming, from teens to 30s, pickling your liver with alcohol for the duration, thus killing it, you won’t make that waiting list. Two reasons. You can’t be trusted to care for the new liver. You’re not a useful member of society.

Organ transplants happen when someone young and healthy dies, is in a position that those organs can be preserved, and the family, in the midst of their horror, shock, and grief, both allows the conversation and then agrees to the donation.

As such, if that sit in a chair gaming and pickling themself individual has a billionaire dad, maybe they go black market? Otherwise it’s hospice care.

Someone says “cream” it could mean powdered creamer, half & half, or the 2 inch list of ingredients liquid garbage that is international delights flavorings.

Milk is adjacent to this category, but unless it’s whole, will add an “off” milk flavor to the coffee which is pretty foul. Skim, for example, will destroy any cup of coffee with an unmistakeable pure milk flavor, no natural sweetness of cream, and no creaminess to the texture.

Pure cream is almost oily in the coffee.

“Cream” is more or less just half and half. Creamy milk, slightly sweet such that the bitter edge is cut. True half and half has 2 ingredients: milk & cream.

Books, games, music should be willable, but they are not. That we allowed ourselves to reach this particular spot is just sad.

I agree. But you can’t squeeze blood from a rock.

If you want narrow readership. Or a society that bases its current events knowledge almost strictly on headlines instead of article content.

People can’t afford groceries. Rent. There is a profound increase in garbage both along highways and in rural locations because it’s the first utility to be sacrificed in the name of survival.

Paying $x per month to dig deeper in on a headline, while the above is happening, isn’t going to occur on any grand scale.

That’s fair, what’s not fair is Word and other such basics engaging this model.

How is that a boomer complaint? It’s basic. Microsoft Word should be buy once for 3 computers, as it always was until subs took over.

We can’t even read the news anymore without a sub.

I like the use of the word rent for this.

When we do hit 4% warming, it will be a hell on earth scenario.

Isn’t 1/3 of their music fake? How is this surprising?
