Likewise.

I think it's a real pity that of the "four boxes of liberty", Musk has interfered with the first three: soap, Twitter; ballot, the lawsuits about million dollar rewards for voting; jury, selecting his jurisdiction, dismantling enforcement institutions via DOGE.

On the plus side, it's only "interfered with" rather than "completely eliminated".

Still, glad I have an ocean between me and the USA.

So would those guys in the boats in the Caribbean and the girls in that Iranian school, but the purpose of a system is what it does.

Obviously that's preferable. What if they don't?

Well... AGI by next month sounds more likely than what you are hoping for.

Who wouldn't? In the real world, the top elected officials and the justice system are covering up sex trafficking of children among the US elites, and that's only the tip of the iceberg. The system is psychotic and what's strange is there haven't been more people like Luigi.

Speaking hypothetically, that is preferable, yes.

And the importance of the justice system working properly is that when it fails constantly and deliberately, many will come to the conclusion that the only option left is murder.

It's of topic but, what if our current civilization is failing them? Like, of the system is broken and an individual acts to protect themselves or their family, the individual is still blamed.

That's how revolution starts.

And there are many revolutions that we (in USA) claim are good! Our own, from Britain, the French one. Of course others are bad (depending on where your vantage)

It's just that, sometimes the murder is (retrospectively) justified. Like in a war, they're killing us so we kill them.

But class war isn't fought with uniformed combatants.

And, in USA at least, many of our politicians are bought quite blatantly. If they aren't serving the citizens perhaps they have thrown out civilization and the social contracts first?

It's all quite complicated.

In general though, murder bad and government should serve the poorest citizens forst, corporations last.

Being denied medical care is murder as well.

I wrote that comment entirely by myself, on my phone while waiting for a souvlaki. Perhaps the things that you consider AI tells are simply a use of language from someone in country with a different education system.

I can't really judge how I might personally benefit from the current direction because I am uncertain what that direction is, and indeed if it will be sustained.

If you are trying to allege that I have some personal affiliation to an organisation where I might benefit more than any average member of the public, then I must disappoint you. I work on my own projects, I sometimes make money from games that I make.

I do not wish for a hypercapitalist dystopia where a company could train a model on work for hire content and then forever churn out content that they assert ownership of. I don't want the suppression of ideas caused by others asserting that because they had an idea, they own it and can dictate who gets to use it.

I also do not wish for another reign of terror.

I don't think violence will make the world better, and I don't think disaffected chique will either. I advocate identifying problems, suggesting solutions to the problems and working with people to reach consensus to apply those solutions. I assume that humans are fundamentally good and in the absence of religion can generally be reasoned with. Even those who do things you disagree with probably are doing what they think is best.

I may be wrong about the goodness of humanity, but it does not matter, If it exists it's worth working with. If it does not exist, it is not worth saving. I choose to assume that it exists on the chance that it might.

Lol, now every pattern of speech is AI? How about we jusr stop talking then?

What a revealing question. Only a child with zero exposure to the horrors of war would think that they’ll be better off in a world where we’re murdering the elites in droves. It’s laughably ignorant and hubristic.

Fortunately, you keyboard warriors lack the skill, connections, and charisma to actually enact any of your bloodthirsty fantasies.
