Don’t you worry Sam, there will be plenty more of DRAM for me to underuse once ClosedSI goes belly up.

> Will they rename the days of the week?

That’s a ridiculous claim.

Trumpsday is steak day in the Central Super Intelligence Agency cantina, how can you not love Trumpsday?

I am really tired of this bullshit. I can’t imagine how Zelenskyy must feel.

Ok, the president wants elections in Ukraine, fair point, so the US are giving security guarantees for fair and democratic elections by putting boots on the ground in the contested territories to oversee the election, and nuclear forces on standby to make sure no one drops a glide bomb on an election center on Ukrainian controlled territory by accident, right, right?

Yeah, thought so.

I guess raping young women on remote islands got a bit harder after their favorite party planner hung himself by the neck, so the Elites now dabble in public executions again as a form of entertainment.

So that is how we enter the “Colosseum arc", where the tech oligarchs, the president and the secretary of smalldickville witness live from their homes how someone gets executed with their dicks in hand on Facebook, Amazon, Twitch, YouTube and of course AppleTV and place bets on how long he keeps moving or how much blood he will spit after they hit his lung instead of the heart on a "prediction" market.

The way the average US Marine shoots a rifle, this will probably be the same kind of disaster that the Pike execution was.

Why put the strain on anyone’s consciousness at all if you can just use that autonomous SI-powered robot with the machine gun? If Claude can kill 150 children in Iran, what’s one more dude being murdered by a remote controlled or autonomous weapons system?

This is not about justice, it’s about rich people and the president wanting to masturbate on a US citizen’s death because otherwise they won’t get hard any longer.

You can be pro or against death penalty but if I was American this would scare me, if my own government started murdering US Citizens on US Soil and making an event out of it. You know who fucking livestreams executions?

ISIS. Is that the role model for US values now?

I am looking forward to how all the Tech Oligarchs line up to make this a sponsored stream.

All enemies of the United States rejoice, you no longer need to look at how Jihadi John beheads the infidels in 480p in a blocky, choppy video.

You can now witness live how the King lowers his thumb to have US Soldiers murder a US Citizen in glorious 4K, with an Nvidia SI-powered super slowmo.

Remember, kids, no ads with Twitch Turbo, and the subscriptions actively support your troops, with a tier 3 sub, you can unlock the war crimes emoji package. If you have an active Amazon Prime subscription you can even watch from multiple camera angles.

They better point the kiss cam at Donald and Melania during the half-time show by the Guantanamo Orchestra.

What a great nation. The greatest of all time. Super Intelligence.

Let me be clear, I 1000% agree that large parts of the Russian government and military are blatantly incompetent. We are on the same side of history, I make fun of the three-day special operation often, and I have nothing but respect for the fight the Ukrainian people put up against a superpower as the aggressor.

Unfortunately, that competence thing counts for everyone else as well. So if you talk about Russian incompetence, we also need to make sure that people understand that this is by design and applied to every military force in existence, and put it into proper context.

This is not about bashing militaries or being American or Russian or European or Chinese, it’s a good example to showcase how the world really works.

If any army becomes extremely competent in executing the best possible outcomes for the people of their country, what keeps them from taking over and getting rid of the layer of decision-making that is causing the most problems?

So the people making their livelyhood from mostly talking about problems and solving them for domestic intesterest groups that don’t necessarily have the best interest of the average citizen in mind make sure they can not be overthrown by their military.

That’s why you see Hegseth dumbing down the force at record speed and Russia is sending the kids of farmers into war and not those of the oligarchs or duma politicians. No matter the color of the pin they wear or what language they speak, it’s all the same filth.

Anyway, a competent military full of competent specialists taking over is what we call military dictatorship, and we tried it often enough collectively that we can confidently say, sometimes the way to get somewhere is just as important as getting there, so democracy and convincing a majority of citizens is better than simply suppressing them.

Because it allows us to think and collectively learn, whereas military decision-making is always a bit backwards and pushes for results at neck-breaking speed.

You cannot apply military optimisation to a healthy civil society. It’s incompatible. Military is a necessary evil, it’s not how the main branch of civil society should work.

If the leaders of the mightiest nations on the planet were competent, we would all live in peace and happily ever after, but conflict is in human nature and incompetence fuels conflict and puts a lot of money into the pockets of everyone who profits from conflict and putting the most incompetent people into the most powerful positions.

Glad we can agree that Russia sucks and hopefully on that almost none of the people in charge of our fate are competent in what they do and we are always an inch away from catastrophic global events.

And that’s why I am now baking some cinnamon buns. Good talk.

You are giving your own answer.

> Sam is a proven sociopath, compulsive liar and manipulator. I have absolutely 0 issues believing he'd kill or rape someone, even a family member.

You are heavily biased, and that makes you construct evidence in your head, that makes it more believable to you that he did what you already are convinced of that he did.

You start with, is there the possibility they are covering for their billionaire son? Sure.

But why, and how would they benefit from that? They all have their own things going and don’t need their brother’s /son’s money.

I also doubt Sam and Annie were indifferent to their parents. She’s the only daughter, mothers are usually very protective of younger kids who are the minority gender in the household, especially in a household full of boys.

They also supported her financially way past maturity, just like they supported their sons. If she was a nuisance, or even a risk, why not just make a hard cut when she’s old enough to live on her own and isolate her?

If you accept sexual abuse in your household for one single kid specifically, isn’t it very unusual to offer that level of support to someone you seem to hate and/or really don’t care for their mental and physical health as a parent?

These are educated people, no methheads.

Then you add another link to the chain and say, well, if they don’t do it on purpose, then they must be in denial he did it.

If it’s not that either, well then the mental health issues must be from being raped as a child.

I am confident you have a bunch more of what you think are valid arguments, but those will also not be anchored in reality.

You’re free to believe whatever you want, even that jet fuel doesn’t melt steel beams. Just doesn’t mean it’s true.

Think for a second, how often is the simple answer the right one, and how many times were the conspiracy theorists right?

I really don’t like Sam Altman, but I don’t think the man is capable of murder or rape (I’ve read accusations of both by now) and to be fair, there is a lot pointing in the direction that this might be a case of extortion or persisting mental health issues even without malicious intent.

Reuters leaves out that both law firms representing his sister retracted from the case, by themselves. When asked for comment, they basically said in lawyer speak that they lost all trust in their client.

She claims she has been abused between 1997 (Sam, 12; Annie, 3) and 2006 (Sam, 21; Annie, 12).

There are two younger brothers in the family as well. Plus the parents, who are a dermatologist and a real estate agent.

So there are either two possibilities.

neither the younger brothers, nor the father or the mother, who is a dermatologist and can see the difference between a bruise on one of her kids from hitting something like an idiot, or a fistpunch, or grabbing onto someone, have spotted any signs of sexual abuse for 9 years.

Or they are all in on it and the Altmans are the Incest Rockefellers.

Unfortunately for the tabloids, the simple answer is most likely the right one.

Both his brothers, just like Altman himself live in stable living circumstances.

According to her Instagram, his sister is an artist, entertainer, and author. A not very successful one.

It’s ok to be a dreamer, my better half is one, but if you ever lived with someone that says of themselves they are an artist, entertainer, or author, you’d know that they are very prone to mental health issues, successful or not.

If you don’t believe me, just pull up that picture of Ben Affleck having a smoke outside after going for a second rodeo with J.Lo. If you know, you know.

I think it’s a price that comes with having a very vivid mind and strong emotional feelings.

Unfortunately, these kinds of people always create a mess when they go off the beaten path, because they are very expressive in nature. If you look at her Instagram, you can see what I mean.

A reasonable mind should come to the conclusion that there is a lot more pointing into the direction that what the family states is closer to the truth than what his sister states. The rest is for a judge and jury to decide.

If she continues this even after two law firms retracting, I doubt she will stop before she’ll lose this case.

And that’s also an indicator that she might not be able to differentiate any longer that what she believes is real, is not reality.

If two different car mechanics tell you you will not survive if you take this sports car on the highway one more time and you go yolo, I know it better than the experts, you don’t need to wonder if you wake up in the ICU without legs and suffer the consequences of your own actions. Causality is a bitch.
