Can't you read the article and understand how he kind is obligated to engage with it ?

How is the journey to understand fusion related to not wanting to spent your limited time on earth wading through AI slop?

Reading though these comments I truly understand why the hardest part of my career in "IT" has been personalities.

The lack of emotional maturity and empathy is very on par with my experience thus far.

When Ebola is eating your face you will find out for what.

Africa might be the least fortunate people but you don't get a pass for ignoring that and not helping, we're all in this together, like it or not.

How do you get that implemented where they are the very types that run the show?

I get the feeling the reason this is out of control is the political climate, at one point in time, a good US president or EU council would've sent aid, doctors, equipment, etc to help tackle this, now everyone is so broke (allegedly) and angry that it's just political suicide to say you're sending money to help "foreigners" in Africa.

The face of rich people and philanthropy has changed too. The billionaires (and nearly trillionaires?) don't need to pretend to care anymore. They have a moat right now where it's fine to be hoarding all the money while thousands die from something which we could stop if the resources and political clout was available to help.

China was entering into this space but seems not to be helping now either, I guess because the west isn't helping, they don't need to pretend anymore that they're the good guys.

Obviously, it's the right thing to do is help, even if just for selfish reasons, ie we don't want this thing in other countries, but you cannot do that anymore because it's just political suicide to do so.

I guess that's the thing with draft dodging, cowardly sex predators. If the going gets tough, they find an easier victim.

Look how well Iran has done standing up to him, he has literally been fucking owned by Iran and really done nothing of substance in response.

One of the worlds more infamous, low IQ, low T, sleep on the job, corrupt, DEI hires ever, the irony is wonderful ;)

Exactly, people complaining that Israel are some elite evil force in the world while literally being outraged and influenced wholesale by the exact information campaigns they are upset with Israel for using...

I really don't know how we're going to ever combat it. The main issue I see is there is a very very strong human tendency to "take sides" and "be part of something", and people have always worked out how to exploit that and use it for nefarious purposes.

I'm just worried that with social media there is basically no way out and it's really looking dangerous for the time being.

That and probably most of the time, they don't really see much of the aftermath, I've definitely seen cases where they've had to "double tap" someone but I'm guessing there is much less of that now with better drones, training, AI targeting etc".

IMO again, it's even worse than that. I think we are giving quarter to enormously bad forces, because they are friends to the ultra wealthy right wing wackos who have seized power in the United States. That these moves propel the grift and propaganda and malign forces that some in this administration feel great affinity for and have mutual benefits with.

Is this a secret or something? It's 100% what people voted for. Disgruntled people wanted to see it all burned down.

I suspect some kind of toxicity like this would have something to do with it. We will probably never know but imagine dedicating your life to your job and then being told your "low T" or some crap.

It's wild to think how many indirect deaths Elon Musk and his "chainsaw" must be responsible for. I recently saw an interview and he was asked the question and he said "not a single death"...a true psychopath.
