…in the words of Ian Malcom:

“God damn do I hate always being right all the time…”

Also in the words of Ian Malcolm:

sexy growling and laughing noises

I don’t feel at all like I’m the smartest person in any given room, but lately I feel like the movie idiocracy. Where I’m just some average guy, and the rest of the world is letting AI do their thinking for them. The end result is, crops won’t grow, because the lot of you are trying to water them with gatoraide. Top scientists in the country are so blinded by why science fails them, never realizing it’s because gatoraide controls the farming industry, and helps write the laws to ensure further grasp of control. Regardless of results.

And everybody else just goes with it. What will happen in the future? Click this article to read about it! Answer: No one knows what would happen if you water plants with water.

Here is how the AI experiment plays out…

Corporations cling and force this stuff down our throats, despite it not working. They do this for 2-3 generations to normalize it. With time and tech advancements they continue to develop it.

They keep using it where people don’t push back. Which for AI, is most things. I don’t see a major pushback on google including AI in search results. I don’t see a major pushback from MOST people on AI being in every element of Windows 11. I see people here hating on microsoft, but linux users are like 4% of the market.

So they continue using the stuff people don’t rock the boat over, while not improving services. Eventually they get more and more of these AI services in every aspect of your life.

The one place they spend all their effort improving is survailance. Watching you watch yourself, and sending them the data.

Alexa could listen for “Hey Alexa” or it could listen for sneezing. Then send that information to HQ where they can now sell that data, that you sneeze 37 times per day in the spring, or 3 times a day in the winter.

Now your insurance rates go up for allergy medication before you even see your doctor.

Thats just one example. Like one dot of a painting of millions of dots. But it all starts with people who don’t have critical thinking skills. They just don’t even question why TVs in the 90s were expensive, but by 2020 they were basically free.

So they buy their cheap smart tvs, and smart fridge, and everything else. Happy as can be. Not even realizing that its all just corporations bringing us closer and closer to 1984.

And in 30 years, not having a smartphone will be illegal. Not having a trackable device with you 24/7 will be illegal. They’ll justify it by saying “think of the children!”. And people will fall for it, yet again. Just as they always do.

If I used discord, they would assume I’m 7 years old.

goes back to sitting on the living room floor, and watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles while eating cereal with gummy bears added in

Jokes on you, discord! I’m 42!

The garden hose? Maaaan, it’s like 16 degrees outside! I want HOT water on my balls, because my balls are hot!

You never heard that 1940s classic musical, “Running in the rain”?

I’m running in the rain, just running in the rain! What a horrible feeling, suffering in pain!

I vote for this guy for president.

I grew up with certain words meaning certain things. Then I get older, and suddenly, those words are gone, new words exist, old words mean new things, medical terms are now no longer medical terms and just purely an insult derived from a definition that didn’t used to define the root word. Pluto isn’t a planet. Instead of 9 planets, there are now an unknown number at least in the thousands. There’s like 4 other Earths.

Language shouldn’t change over time. It can adapt, but I should know that grass is green. Not grass is plubertatude. A word I just made up for the demonstration of absurdity. Nothing wrong with grass being green.

This is the way.

Libraries are usually free.

You…need to stop making me feel old.

Who’s shade?

Depends which angle the sun hits it at.

I’m 42. It’s taken to right now in this very moment to realize that I guess technically pills are eaten.

I never thought about that before.

The question always struck me as dumb. Because it doesn’t make any attempt to clarify what geographic region this question takes place.

I don’t care what you’re afraid of a man doing, a polar bear is ALWAYS the worse choice.

But not all bears are as aggressive as polar bears. Some bears will run away from you if you chase them. Some bears will end you if you chase them.

Of coarse you can’t determine how dangerous a man is based on region. But you can likely determine which regions have dangerous bears.

Yep! I got a nice one. It’s 10+ years old now, but I got a new bulb in the box, waiting for my current bulb (which IS dying) to finally go.

Love it. It even does 3D and came with 2 pairs of glasses.

I bought lifetime subscription 10+ years ago. It still updates the guide, but they stopped selling hardware.

Which is a shame. I like Tivo.

They don’t control my tivo recordings.

Which is why everyone should oppose ATSC 3.0.

With ATSC 3.0, TV stations can literally insert ads overlayed on screen at any point.

They can use your tv’s smart functions to literally track your behavior.

They can refuse to allow you to record tv stations entirely, or just kndividual shows.

They can delete shows without your consent. They can block you from watching shows. They can make OTA tv programing pay per view.

I’m not saying they ARE doing this, or are planning it, but they CAN. And if capitalism has taught me anything it’s “fuck you, pay us, and then pay us again, and fuck you again”.

See…humans are stupid. We could all be living in lush rich forests, having sex in bright sunny fields, with no cares in the world.

Instead, we all have jobs, and make ourselves slaves to them. We hand over control of all aspects of our lives to corporations.

Instead of utopia, we live in a parking lot jungle. Where the profits for paid parking are more important than affordable housing, and rent control.

And it all rolls downhill. Even television is trying its hand at enshitification. Don’t buy a smart tv. Don’t buy ATSC 3.0 anything. Tell these fuckers to fuck off!

Can confirm.

This explains so much! So THAT’S why I masturbate! I was addicted as a teenager, and I guess I’m going to be addicted for life.

I mean…it worked in WWII.

See, there was this guy named Hitler, who wanted to take over the world, and kill the Jews.

Then two jewish teens from Cleveland created Superman.

So Superman goes off, fights the nazis, and was on his way to Hitler’s house, to give him a lecture about why killing is bad, but Hitler heard Superman was coming. So he killed himself before Superman got there.

True story.

So that middle management can justify their existence!
