Wrong question.
The right question is “What is the societal and economic value of a community space where the human element has been rendered functionally invisible?” to which the answer is of course “There is none”.
The problem isn’t with social media, the problem is with letting billionaires and corporations completely ruin social media and push rightwing beliefs while we pretend it isn’t an existential issue.
in my heart I knew they had already lost when they directly pissed off the cat ladies
I think the mistake here is not to use our voices, for the sound of our voices together is unmistakable.
I never said these things wouldn’t happen.
I would argue, that is the reason we got so many people to go out to No Kings.
Ok go ahead and surveil 7 million people, what the hell is that gonna do?
At that point you are just demonstrating your illegitimacy as a governing body while overloading your surveillance capacity with normal everyday people that are an overwhelming distraction from your authoritarian aims.
Wait, is this how Italians can eat pasta so easily without it slipping off the fork?
The fact that Israel is deploying main battle tanks in their open air prison tells you everything you need to know about this genocide and the IDF.
Dr Wills said it had been amusing to watch the internet debate unfold, but “the answer is still no”, humans will not evolve into crabs.
“The convergent evolution of crabs has happened about five times in history, but it’s happened within the group of decapods.”
I am skeptical
But at least four groups of decapods - including sponge crabs, porcelain crabs, king crabs and the Australian hairy stone crab - are “imposters” that have gradually transformed their shape by tucking their tail underneath.
Have we not already began this process by losing our tail? Do men not often spread their legs out as widely as possible to feel comfortable?
Motor Town isn’t exactly what you want, it is more like GTA but just the car jobs.
The physics feel good though, like reallly good.

The AI battleplan
Humanity isn’t something we verify it is something we cultivate.
The obsession with verification comes from an empty conception about humanity.
The question isn’t really how do we verify which of us is human, the question is what spaces have degraded sufficiently that the mark of human interaction is no longer discernible in the noise and what are the mechanisms in which they have done so?
Systematic tolerance or indifference to hatespeech is one great way to degrade the humanity of a space for example.
I torch the forest to the ground
I bet this ground will be lush again! - I say triumphantly to the ash wasteland around me
Yeah I know this guy Annatar he can help you out, super trustable.
RFK is on track to do a lot of damage, but he has some stiff competition.
Yes but RFK genuinely terrifies me more than the competition, he is a super-critical confluence of stupidity, confidence and undisguised fascism.
I am ADHD, RFK is intent on killing people like me off through his policy, that isn’t an exaggeration and he is likely to succeed by the look of things. The centrist position in the US is that people like me have had it coming, sooooo…
Wait are you telling me restructuring our society to be as cruel as we incorrectly narrativize nature to be was all for nothing?!
RFK is on track to have one of the highest kill counts for a powerful US figure in the first quarter of the 21st century. That is an intimidating sentence and yet it seems to be undeniably true, I don’t see how we can swerve from the path of mass amounts of unnecessary death in the US from disease. Shame on us.
I get that obviously leftism can have authoritarian people but the idea of being worked up about it in this moment is absurd.
Yup, paid for by the ruling class.
