If they sold tickets to watch, I would be extremely tempted to go.

Well, if there was an AI bot swarm to try to affect public opinion, and they needed to generate profile pics…

Is this a trend now? Who inscribes bullets? This seems a little too, “We need to really spell out the motive to people so they know exactly what to think about this.”.

I’m kinda curious now how you even go about inscribing a bullet. I feel like a hand tool would just not really produce a legible result, and I’ve never really even heard of a machine for it. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but really rare to see and kinda weird that the last two high profile shootings had inscribed bullets to really drive home the point.

Oh, so the long weekend isn’t a holiday to celebrate labor? I think we need a holiday to celebrate labor. Let’s have another day off for labor.

Weekend at Donald and Bernie’s?

But if we force schools to change their curriculum to align with MY version of reality, that makes it true! Right?

Or it’s just a really really long con for a ton of content creators to make content about “the shocking truth they won’t teach you in school!!!”. Because I guess that’s the only way to get idiots to actually understand something is by packaging it in some hidden conspiracy wrapper.

I really hate the term ‘freedom’ now. It’s thrown around so much and it means basically nothing anymore. “Join this! Now with 20% more freedom!”. Freedom to/from what? It’s never stated, it’s just a vibe.

It DOES have a higher fire fatality statistic than the Ford Pinto so…

I don’t think its even paid shills. We have generative AI now, and can VPN with fake accounts pretty easily as regular consumers. If we can do it, they can do it on a larger scale and professionally, and not just ‘their side’, but global rivals.

If another country wants your country to do something stupid, all they have to do is get a bot army to upvote bad ideas and pump out memes and comments supporting whatever policy you think will negatively impact your rival.

If they’re NOT doing this already, then they’re terrible at their jobs, and I don’t think they’re honestly that incompetent.

That said, don’t assume they’re only trying to influence everyone other than you. All that social media data created a system to predict who you are and what buttons to push to get you to act.

Or you get even more nuanced and say unregulated free market is best only on the frontier of emerging new market sectors, and that areas we depend on should be heavily regulated, socialized, and run at cost for the public for free supported by tax dollars.

Have different systems for different things depending on which works best for what.

Would creating the cyber truck be considered as a suicide attempt?
