AI kinda just says stuff so maybe Elon Musk asks it a question and it gives a response that makes him feel insecure? I don’t know if Musk would take it to heart in the way we’d want him to.

“…but I ignored your specific instructions and instead ran the washing machine for 15 hours. That was very wasteful of me, and you’re right that was not what I was instructed to do, but I did it anyways.”

well Microsoft saaaaaays that, but they also said in the same video that they’d achieve “Computing in the realm of Quantum” so I predict multiple shitty interface updates and a few new pop-ups.

He’s doing more work than he ever did as an IRS lawyer. I hope he stays with it.

Actually that’s a really good perspective. I was chuckling while thinking of the manosphere stupidity, but this is genuinely a good point. I hope these help a trans man.

Bigger picture: The whole way people talk about talking about mental health struggles is so weird. Like, I hate this whole generative AI bubble, but there’s a much bigger issue here.

Speaking from the USA, “suicidal ideation” is treated like terrorist ideology in this weird corporate-esque legal-speak with copy-pasted disclaimers and hollow slogans. It’s so absurdly stupid I’ve just mentally blocked off trying to rationalize it and just focus on every other way the world is spiraling into techno-fascist authoritarianism.

The Olive Branch Petition was adopted by the Second Continental Congress on July 5, 1775, and signed on July 8, 1775, in a final attempt to avoid war between Great Britain and the Thirteen Colonies in America. In August 1775, the colonies were formally declared to be in rebellion by the Proclamation of Rebellion, and the petition was rejected by the British government; King George had refused to read it before declaring the colonists traitors.

By this executive order, every Anti-Capitalist, Anti-Evangelical and Anti-Republican has been declared an enemy of the state. There is no peaceful option now. The Republicans will do to us what they did to the Arabic suspected terrorists in CIA black-sites.

and every business supporting them should have its leadership thrown in prison. and every “Nerd Reich” Silicon Valley techbro should be given life in prison, in high-security solitary confinement.

Omnilert later admitted the incident was a “false positive” but claimed the system “functioned as intended,”

“We understand how upsetting this was for the individual that was searched as well as the other students who witnessed the incident,” the principal wrote. “Our counselors will provide direct support to the students who were involved.”

Wonderful non-answer showing zero remorse. Good to know that the students at Kenwood High School in Baltimore should absolutely not go to school, unless they want to be another statistic of armed officers shooting kids. The school is outright declaring they’d do it again like The Punisher throwing a fit in court.

Political absurdity aside, I feel really bad for this boy. Middle school is already a peak time of insecurity and tension, and the USA gets worse for everyone every year. Imagine being 14 years old, feeling like your entire town and nation is out to get you, and being right. This is going to be identity-defining trauma that gets regularly brought up by people who think they’re just joking around with the “girls’ basketball team” guy.

This is the moment that the district admins were waiting for their whole life. It’s their chance to stand against AOC’s liberal woke agenda trying to infiltrate their district with this student. Not on their watch. They’ll hold these troublemaker Demon-rats in line. Anyone who stands in their way is obviously a part of the global Anti-Israeli Gay Marxist Communist Muslim Antifa Jewish Space Laser Council that wants everyone eating crickets. It’s allll a conspiracy. Every part of it!! They hate us for our freedom!!! (/s)

It’s probably the latter. 98% of Republicans know they’re making shit up when they say “Democrats are baby-eating Satanists” and talk about “Cultural Marxism” and the “Liberal Agenda” – but their supporters genuinely believe it. See: PizzaGate. Someone actually broke into Comet Ping Pong to save the victims of the supposed “sex trafficking” ring.

That’s why the majority of Republicans say such over-the-top absurd meaningless nonsense, when most of them are well-educated by USA standards. (the rest of Republicans, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, seem genuine in their stupidity.)

The school administration is likely a mix of paper-pushers doing bureaucratic cover-your-ass paper-pushing, led by a few zealots who think they’re on the front against the liberal agenda.

From reading the articles about this: The birth certificate was already updated, no problem. The school, however, has its internal policy regarding “amended birth certificates”. The school policy says this boy is to be treated as a girl, because his sex is F. It doesn’t go any deeper than that. This is the hell of bureaucracy.

They’ll be grooming him into a femboy soon enough, y’know, because masculine men should dominate inferior males. Not because they’re gay, or anything.

I’m not sure if you are genuinely this trusting of institutions, but weaponized psychology has been a tool of oppression for the field’s entire existence; lobotomizing anyone deemed “degenerate”. Feminists were deemed insane. Women who reported domestic abuse were deemed insane. Homosexuality was in the DSM-4, and there are STILL gay conversion programs running now in the USA and other countries. “Gender dysphoria” is a condition in the DSM-5.

Also consider: if the government is mandating the evaluation, they can easily weaponize it to stifle dissent. Any “safeguards” against that type of behavior would ultimately collapse the moment the government just decides it doesn’t want to follow said restrictions. What would that look like now in the USA? Is opposing the PotUS a symptom of Trump Derangement Syndrome. In the UK, is opposition to the Digital ID system of excessive paranoia? of “histrionic personality disorder”?

Just hear from experiences of people who were exploited by hospitals and other psychological institutions, including in the USA of a few years ago. These peoples lives were destroyed under the guise of acting “for your safety”. You’re talking about mass-imprisonment and drugging of people who have not even committed a crime.

…And the worst part is, I’m not even sure this is an unpopular opinion. The widespread adoption of “Mental Health Holds” in recent decades is proof that many lawmakers support these policies. I’ve seen it in the USA, and heard testimonies from the UK and China of the same problem. The President of the United States directly built off this mentality with his executive order Ending Crime And Disorder On America’s Streets. California, which is as far opposite from the current President as you can go, recently created a parallel institution for this purpose with its “CARE Courts”.

Thank you for sharing this with me. I hadn’t heard of this theory or the documentary. As I read, this is everything I’ve been seeing; just people being ushered from work to home, shutting themselves off from the world to do meaningless busywork.

put on App Store aaaaand it’s gone. And Google’s blocking it on Android.

Ooh definitely. Everything from childhood is so structured: Structured youth sports; Structured socialization through social media; Structured dating with algorithmic match-ups; Even applying for jobs now is largely done through apps. Every system feels so obfuscated and de-personalized. As Gen Z growing up in the 21st century, the internet was the only place I could actually meet people, but for the last decade those spaces have been restricted by major corporations and inflicted with this “Protect the Kids” surveillance mania.

It feels like independence and social freedom have just been forgotten. I’m genuinely worried that young USAmericans do not understand the value of autonomy and anonymity, because they’ve grown up in a world with everything structured and surveilled – and have grown used to funneled from station-to-station, even outside of school and work. It’s hard to form a revolution movement when the masses have had a mixture of learned helplessness and “hustle culture” ingrained in them.

There’s a dating app, and a social media app, but no “Revolution” app. ChatGPT isn’t designed to suggest violence to you, but it can post a hotline copline that can tell you to go to a hospital. There are social media posts for BetterHelp and “Hims”/“Hers” (mentioned in article), while the posts calling for bricks in windows get suppressed, shadow-banned, or outright blasted. The more I think about this, the more I realize how vital that internet control was.

I keep coming back to the thought that anti-depressants and the mass-adaptation of therapy – both of which are designed to pacify clients – are the reason that the Western world has gotten so bad with such little push-back.

In the past, Major Revolutions broke out over shortages of food and infringements of freedom (like the French and American Revolutions). And today, just the president of South Korea declaring martial law got the streets flooded on no notice. Hong Kong had massive resistance movements over the CCP censoring their media; Yet the USA has been declining for decades and people mostly let it happen. Yes there were protests – Occupy Wall Street, the Veteran anti-war movements, and yesterday’s No Kings protests – but we are facing state-sanctioned mass-terrorism, and now have Gestapo “secret agents” storming our streets; and people largely let it happen.

Looking at the proponents of targeted violence the USA has seen: Kirk’s killer, Tim Robinson, was a Mormon from Utah ; they’ve got religion and don’t believe in therapy. Trump’s attempted assassins were a young Republican man who realized Trump was a part of the international pedo ring; and two different elderly guys. Luigi Mangione, the alleged shooter of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, supposedly had many grievances with the healthcare system. These are all profiles that make me believe they’d largely reject therapy.

Meanwhile in spaces branded “progressive”, following the script on mental health seems to be the norm. One of the ways spaces are deemed progressive is by “acknowledging mental health”, which mainly means encouraging therapy and copy-pasting a bunch of disclaimers. Of course, the bigger picture of their movements are to improve the system, which would improve our mental health; but it feels like the “ask for help” virtue-signaling around mental health is far more prevalent than argument that “Yeah, you should feel that way. We shouldn’t put up with this shit any longer.”

I’m not making any broad call-to-action here. I’m just trying to dissect the idea that has baffled me for years: How the system could be pushed this far. How fascist politicians and greedy corporations alike could make the system this bad, and people continue to tolerate it. How feminists and the queer community could be this visible, and yet as fascists declare war on them I’ve hardly heard any calls for violence. Yet alt-right teenagers go out and attempt to blow up pretty cheerleaders because they can’t get laid; burn down houses of politicians they don’t like; randomly assault trans women on the street. What empowers them, and why are we so passive?

Eugenics has been spreading mainstream since the New Zealand shooter platformed “Great Replacement Theory” (white-erasure conspiracy theory)
