The Government™ has made an ad about the existential threat that AI poses to humanity, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative

Yup. Made some points I hadn't considered yet, like a few companies locking in a monopoly

They are perfectly on point with the whole "flooding the world with infoshit" thing... though, as the recent collapse of Israel's media coddling shows, it seems that it's not working as intended.

It only works when the marks are passive...

Israel war crimes are so fucking blatant, you have to be a brain dead acolyte and many Jewish folk don't support this shit lol

It is hard to go along with the propaganda and there is so much mental gymnastics fake news can do to cover 45 civilians got unlived in area of IDF operations, the kids were 100% hamas

The image of a pregnant Donald Trump is disturbing.

Non-pregnant Donald Trump isn't exactly easy on the eyes either.

late stage capitalism in its purest form

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

At this point I'm starting to believe it's more late-stage liberalism than capitalism. The capitalists seem to think they don't need liberalism any more.

Or we can conventionalize to call it "Imperialism" as Lenin taught us
