N'importe quelle personne qui suggère de retirer le droit de vote aux gens qui ne paient pas d'impôt, mérite de brûler en enfer. Oui, c'est une idée qui gagne en popularité en ce moment. 💁
lol, annnnnnnd there's the nail in the coffin, if there was still any doubt:
Very cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich. Still worth that ad read money, folks?
not particularly. i'm deeply worried about human decisionmakers having their cognition swiss cheesed by whatever weird subconscious feedback loop is going on with conversational ai and THEN bringing about the end of days, though
real talk, how many of y’all are genuinely concerned about super intelligent AI ushering in the end of days?
person with an office lady fetish be like "i just got off from work" yeah i bet u did u sick pervert
when I was watching "ai taking over the world" movies a child I was thinking "why don't they just shut the machines down?" and now I think "We won't shut the machines down while we still can because it's profitable to keep them running for this quarter"
