an angle I have been considering lately as a result of this war is that I am really really hoping the coming price shock galvanizes all non-fascist nations to act on the presumption that oil supply will no longer be reliable and that you have to switch to a renewable-centric infrastructure ASAP. Is this outcome at all even the slightest bit feasible (please)

I want the Great Satan to fall and take with its lakes of fire

saw Beginning of a New Era w a friend. slowly came to the realization that I can name all non-NPC horses shown on screen across the entire movie

feed them to the mountains, mr trump

boots on the ground when I wake up

putting on my news glasses to prepare for more news (newsworthy)

gonna get ahead of the curve and offer “Automation of the Decision to Kill” as a New War Crime to add to the New War Crime Convention at the New International Diplomatic Organization

seeing Peter Thiel meeting with Takaichi as all this goes on, I’m mentally flashbanged by a WW2-as-Farce scenario with Japan remilitarizing and the NuAxis being US-Israel-Japan with China as the reluctant-to-join power whose hand is forced by Japan to actually take the combative road against those that seek its destruction

not exactly news but added new emotes that are overdue and topical to coverage:

also added an Axis of Resistance category to the picker. gomenasorry for the general emote hiatus it will continue until April probably

unfortunately the soft emote hiatus will continue until morale improves (most likely April)

consistently bewildered by how increasingly myopic your brain on capitalism becomes. betting on nuclear blasts as if the payout will have value after the MAD taboo breaks and the central organs of the state get vaporized

How likely is an oil price shock to cascade into heightening the contradictions of the AI bubble? The idea feels intuitive to me (surging energy costs=higher operating costs for data centers) so I’m wondering if it has any basis. Are there any safeguards that would prevent it from making transformer models more costly to operate at scale, besides bourgeoisie class solidarity in covering the losses?

actually feral society

It’s not a distraction from the Epstein Files, it’s furthering the political goals of the people in the Epstein files

Well, if we were operating in good faith, we would make standardized parental control protocols that can interface with devices, accounts, browsers and websites and allow parents to input the ages of personal device/account user ages in their “family” and take on community-recommended age-gating suites. Like a uBlock filter list for restricting content. Then we would fund childcare resources and community centers/activities in order to dampen and share the burden of parenting for people who cannot dedicate enough time to monitoring their child’s internet activity, or are too drained to do so after their work day. We would treat this as the isolation and time/energy problem it is, rather than having the sites manage you and yours.

I am assuming they are operating in bad faith because the current implementations of this standard are being backed by Peter Thiel. Therefore, I think this is a means to strengthen the surveillance state and is an attempt to kill internet pseudonymity in order to create a chilling effect for dissent/track and subvert dissidents, as Palantir and DHS are already trying to do with ELITE and ICE. Per another co-founder of it, Palantir is an explicitly political corporation aimed at killing communists:

which, if they have their way, will semantically creep into anyone who believes in anything that constricts or punishes or even criticizes the actions of anyone in the Epstein Files.
