AI isn't just going to take our jobs, it's the perfect tool for fascists who are more than willing to kill innocent people to get what they want.
Unless we take a stand, our future will be defined by worsening crimes against humanity.

Probably worth remembering that countries like Saudi Arabia are holding up our sham bullshit tech economy and that something like a war that puts pressure on them and disrupts their operations could set off a chain of dominoes that a lot of people aren't really discussing.

If you’re having a tough day or maybe need a little pick me up, just remember that someday, after we have crushed the fascists, motherfuckers like Kristi Noem will be held responsible for their crimes against humanity.
Try your damndest to live your life so that if you were fired from your job and about to give a speech that someone would tell you.
In case Gaza and now the Iranian school didn’t make it clear, militaries using AI to pick targets and execute strikes is just going to result in escalating tragedy and atrocities that leaders can shrug off and blame on the technology, making war crimes “acceptable” and part of the strategy of war.
We’re carrying out the dumbest war under the supervision of two D-list TV personalities bragging about our war crimes and all the fast food CEOs are competing over who can take the biggest bites of their burgers.
Some are calling it the most American moment in history.
We’re just playing all the greatest hits. By next week we’ll be selling weapons to Iran and the CIA will be clandestinely dosing American citizens with LSD
Fuck it, let’s just watch the American Empire’s memories flash before our eyes one last time while the empire dies

Giants asked for some more baseball to get some reps in.
I mean, you’d think.
Everyone needs to get emotionally prepared for Democrats voting yes on a war supplemental funding bill and all the “support the troops” bullshit. It’s going to be infuriating, so just spend a little bit of time here and there working out your feelings.
I’m sure he is. Enjoy his misery for tonight.
Oh Jesus I think you’re right. Fuck.
Just imagining Crenshaw and MTG meeting up in a sad hotel bar in Northern Virginia after a lame MAGA-autograph conference and getting sad drunk and one of them saying, We really had it all, didn’t we?
Hahahaha remember that cringy Dan Crenshaw ad where he skydived and fought antifa oh man that dude sucks and it’s so good watching him get his shit stomped in. Get bent, fuckin loser.
This fuckery in the Texas primary is a preview of the fuckery you’re going to see in November if there are elections at all.
US doing Dumb US things like not understanding the country it's about to attack and not preparing or even really thinking about its own supplies or capabilities because it believes it's too big and too strong and it can just do whatever it wants and then swaggers in and gets its shit wrecked.
I mean, it’s kind of poetic.
It’s starting to feel like Trump will eventually cut and run, leaving all these countries with abandoned bases and an escalating regional war, which is just as fall of the Roman Empire as it gets.
General rule of punditry: don’t publish something so colossally stupid in the morning that you’ll have to go on TV in the evening and look like you ate shit at a funeral.
The Trump Administration’s attempt to explain this war has been an utter disaster. In a matter of hours they’ve burned through all establishment war-lust goodwill. And for anyone who has paid attention, that’s virtually impossible to do.
Holy. Fuck.
Hours later Friedman is on CNN and basically umm and ahhhing his way through a segment as it’s obvious he knows he fucked up publishing this piece and giving this quagmire legitimacy. What a turnaround. Never seen anything like it.
Sometimes, when things are rough and the world feels heavy, it helps to imagine a future where we have crushed these sons of bitches and are left to the actual business of constructing a world that we deserve and is fundamentally kind and good.
Yes.
Stop waiting for them. They won’t come around. We have to fight.
I think Trump has made a fatal error that could hasten the end of American Fascism under the right circumstances. I’m not saying it’s a done deal by any means, and I’m not saying there isn’t intense danger ahead, but it really feels like he stepped right into a motherfucker of a mess.
*Checks Thomas Friedman’s record*
*Checks it again to be sure*
No, sorry, he’s a buffoon.
I'm guessing anytime Brooks and Friedman went out for dinner the server had to help them with the menus.
The audience of the NYT's opinion section are centrist politicians and moderate liberals who want to feel better about the status quo and read articles that launder genocide and fascism into centrist, common-sense gruel.
Don't worry, Friedman will announce in like a year that he's partnered with an AI firm to create an AI version of himself. The firm will be a front for some of the worst war crimes and human rights abuses you've ever imagine. It'll belch out "it takes money to make money" and steal all our water.
