Money.

Anytime you think it’s not about the money, it’s about the money.

Oh…he faces Fallout? I misread that.

Yeah, nuclear armageddon tracks.

Oh gosh. He faces fallout? Scary…

Allegedly you say?

Oh, nevermind. Pass.

I thought you meant they would take care of my reproductive needs whilst I was in this blissful simulation.

You meant they would manage my reproduction, as in own and use it for the machine overlords’ benefit.

Nah, I’m good.

managed your reproductive needs

Go ooon…please elaborate.

As a complete amateur who’s had a few DSLRs and still knows very little, I think the concert lighting is a cool effect and really creates a vibe. It’s photos like this that made me want to go to live shows when I was younger because they looked so much cooler than my life.

These shots could have easily been in a Spin magazine article on the band in the late 90s/early 00s.

Facing calls

HO-LEE SHIT. Fuckin’ torched?!?!? That’s a whole new level. I’ll bet that they’ll see the error of their ways now!

Calls you say? That sounds official and serious.

Gen X chose to be the “I’m not really into politics” generation. As if electing our leaders was a spectator sport we could just not participate in. And then we all claimed to be too cool for political parties when we started noticing the world was really going to shit. Which is how we got centrists.

I know because that was me.

I hope I’m wrong but it seems like the ratio of selfish stupid people is constant across generations.

I’m a little jealous to be honest. I can barely talk to my dad anymore. He swallowed the propaganda hook, line, and sinker. Everything he says is word for word from cable news or facebook.

Both my boomer parents were hippies. My Mom literally lived in a commune for some time in her early 20s. She voted for the T-Dog in 2016 because she wanted to see real change.

I used to chuckle when I was a kid the way my Dad would look at me and roll his eyes when my grandparents would talk about politics and religion. My Dad loves his MAGA hats now. And wonders why his grandchildren don’t want to be around him.

My sample size of 2 says otherwise!

Every single generation in the past 100 years has said the same thing. “My generation will fix it when we’re in charge”.

The God Damn boomers were the hippies from the 60s. What the fuck happened to peace and love?

My generation (Gen X), my goodness, we could see through all the bullshit. We’re the original centrists.

Every single one of my children’s Gen Z friends are all so woke they never sleep.

Turns out every generation is full of selfish shortsighted dumbasses just like the one before it. Just like “The Greatest Generation”. Just like the boomers. Just like Gen X.

Faith in humanity…fading

Wow. Brendan Carr is “facing blowback”? Finally some serious repercussions.

I’m sure at first I would love it because instead of having to purchase this robot it would be “free” to me.

But after everyone gets used to the clothes robots there would eventually be paid subscription tiers and the next time you open your drawers all your pants have DraftKings ads on the butt.

Absolutely. “Flood the Zone”.

All the stupid stuff also including annexing Greenland, renaming the JFK Center, removing exhibits at The Smithsonian, the weaponization fund… it’s all to distract from the further hollowing out of the middle class and all the real behind the scenes grift happening.

Unacceptable. Pathetic. Is that the best humanity has to offer? Some brutish, crude machine that just agitates my clothes in soapy water? And a second machine that just blows hot air on it as it spins it?

No.

I should be able to put my dirty clothes in a receptacle, and say “Hey, Robot Overlord Google. Start clothes cleaning cycle” and when I return the clothes are separated, cleaned, and neatly folded. At a minimum. Really the clothes should also be put away in my dresser by the AI.

+1 for stating that the technologies themselves are not the grifts.

LLMs are fantastic tools. Quantum Computing will have meaningful uses.

The grift is the marketing and the dumb C-Suites that fall for it.

To answer your real question though, I need an AI that will actually convert a basket of dirty laundry into a stack of neatly folded clean clothes. That shit will be revolutionary.
