Short term it's probably going to be like how Israel uses it. Basically, set it up to do some data analytics and then say "the robot told us to murder those children because they were Hamas terrorists". Offloading some of the responsibility for the genocide to the machines. Sort of reminds me of how tech bros keep making racist big data algorithms because all the training data for crime is racist and just perpetuates the status quo.

Medium term it's an expansion of the surveillance state and maybe some semi autonomous systems with human intervention. Probably some new wonder weapons as well. A lot of grifting will happen so it'll be hard to know what really works until we learn how nice it burns in a riot.

Also, relatedly, I read this website that I saw on reddit the other day and it's so laughable how little these people understand how their own tech works and how the real economy works.

Structurally the article is the tech industry asking for investment and state backing but it's very laughable when you question what is written. They don't understand how long it take to make the basic infrastructure of their own industry. They are just reflexively racist towards the chinese at every chance they get. They also think the chat bots can generate more data to train the next chat bots until it becomes self aware. It would really just continuously eat it's own shit until it becomes too unreliable.

I don't see it happening anytime soon. We are several tech advances away from a real artificial general intelligence.

Right now the actual existing technology is a very advanced chat bot that can generally summarize and regurgitate information that is put into it, competent image identification, and a few other smaller things. They all generally rely on being given in a lot of information to plagiarize from. In the future these would be components of the bigger scarier AIs but they are not at that point or close to that point. (AGI is totally just five years away so invest now or be left behind)

The killer robots and drones will always require industrial production and there would need to be a big push for industrial expansion to fully roll them out, unless they're going to be luxury weapons for the larger police forces and special operations in the military. I doubt the US would have the commitment to make mass produced cheap drones when companies can make overpriced and overengineered crap for the cops and military. We likely will see more drones in the future but nothing as cheap and reliable as what Russia had started to use in the SMO.

In 2050 things might be there but by then the Fourth Reich will hopefully have fallen out at least be contained.

What if we're all just as annoying as possible to the company auctioning it until they give it to us?

Also, we all know someone's handler is just going to hand over a credit card so that they can buy the site. The question is, who actually gets it? It'll probably be some annoying radlib performative bs about tankies that was well worth the $69,420 that was spent on it.

Has this asshole never had a job before? Like tech companies are lenient in a lot of ways but they're still jobs.

I see major political change of any kind as 5 years away at minimum. No organization inside or outside of government really wants major change. At most they want to twist a few nobs and dials on the machines to increase the pain at a faster or slower rate.

Americans are pretty far from the level of suffering that will produce violent revolutionary conditions. We barely have any solid reform movements since everything gets coopted by either political party and defanged. There are no independent centers of power and many people are too alienated or disconnected to create a movement.

I'd like to think something has to happen soon with how the financiers are sucking the life out of the country's and world's economy but all of the carefully crafted systems of control seem ascendant. Even with both political parties being filled with incompetent losers they can still bumble their way through maintaining the system.

This is a country where cops can kill people in broad daylight and get away with it when it's on video. The American psyche has to change but I feel like it will only get worse with the conditions.

At will employment in the US is crazy. We're approaching the point of swearing literal fealty to our corporate overlords.

Important to remember that there is already a vaccine for h5n1. It would need to be updated if it mutates to a point where human to human infections are consistent. It should be faster to get something out than it took for covid.

I obviously have no idea what it would look like if it does mutate to human to human transmission but I'm not an omega doomer about it. We cant predict when or even if a process like evolution will produce a certain result. The US and other countries will obviously let it rip so stay safe if it does.

Yeah, I remember that article from years before the SMO about Ukraine being the international training ground for fascists. So, Azov doesn't even need to leave Ukraine since they've been rebranded as brave freedom fighters like the Contras. They can stay in Lvov to protect in 2034 after Russia reaches the outskirts of Kiev and at the same time train NATO fascists, street fascists for europe and the anglosphere, and the CIA goons who will train other fascists in probably mostly latin america.

Generally agree except for evaluating things with post nut clarity. Some people need to be clear headed when making relationship decisions so that they don't do something stupid because they're horny.

Not that the GOP is in a healthy state right now, and I'm sure when they eventually lose Trump it will hurt them. But they probably won't collapse into nothing and scatter away on the wind like Sauron. Instead it'll probably look a lot like the Dems post-Obama: rudderless, struggling to find a new center.

They do have a few big internal divisions that they'll have to struggle through. I think it mostly comes down to the fact that the chud reactionaries and evangelical nut jobs are too powerful in the coalition. They are supposed to be lesser parts of the coalition beneath the big business free market capitalists. Ever since Trump they've been a bigger part of the coalition and become too prominent nationally. They're supposed to be lower level cranks that don't reach higher than the city council and now Marjorie Tayloy Greene is in congress.
