Yeah, I was aware of that trend before the rest of wokeness even happened, but I’m talking about a completely different level of insult

The term “flock camera” just hit the zeitgeist recently, and the advertising medium is largely shitty blogger headlines

The REASON there are so many stories recently is because flock is PAYING for them
Ring said they dropped the thing with them. Ring is Amazon. We'll see. I said above all this data collection 'privacy' is BS, once it's collected it's an indian and a few usb drives away no matter what they 'say' and at most will pay a $10 per user fee down the road of a 'hack'. It happens over and over.
 
I just hope everyone remembers the lessons since around 2020, that our government will try to kill us on a whim, and will do it with impunity.
We were shown exactly who was behind the Burn Loot Murder chaos when our President offered to send the National Guard to help if only the governors and mayors would ask, and the governors and mayors did not.
I also blame the President for not sending them anyway to stop the terrorism once it became obvious that smaller leaders were working with the bad guys. I understand that he was trying to show us where the evil lay, but the price of the knowledge was too high in my opinion.
Every mayor of a burning city, and every governor of a state with a burning city, that did not do everything in their power to restore peace, is the enemy.
That's just one situation.
Putting people infected with a horrible flu-like disease in nursing homes and then ordering nursing staff to not give the best care to the elderly when they became infected so that a lot of them died? Did anyone in New York or anywhere else suffer any consequences for that, or are they still drooling over the memory of "delicious fries?"
Hurricane Helene tore up a huge chunk of America that doesn't get that kind of weather. How did the government help? By sending tiny care packages of expired food, refusing to help anyone with differing political signs in their yards, having their helicopters buzz aid stations set up by locals, scaring already scared citizens and blowing over supplies.
These are only a few examples.

Don't let it be forgotten. Please don't ever let what we all went through be forgotten.

Trump Media has reportedly discussed charging hedge funds and trading firms up to $100,000 per month for high-speed access to President Donald Trump’s Truth Social posts through a new “Truth API” service — Financial Times.

➡️ The premium data feed would provide users with Trump’s posts milliseconds before they appear publicly, offering an advantage to firms trading on market-moving announcements.

➡️ Wall Street executives say the service could become essential for high-frequency trading firms, as Trump’s posts have repeatedly triggered sharp movements in stocks, oil, and global markets.

➡️ The proposal has prompted concerns over potential conflicts of interest, with critics arguing that a company majority-owned by the President’s family could financially benefit from privileged access to market-moving presidential statements.

➡️ Trump Media, which is majority-owned by the Trump family, has not publicly commented on the reported pricing.
Absolutely fucking brilliant.
 
I always think of it like the Industrial Revolution, I wouldn't be surprised if people then didn't sound exactly like today. You can't stop progress. That said, you can make the "progress" work in your favor but that last part I would have no idea how to fucking achieve.

I would love AI shit like that if it worked for the taxpayer. If it made sure that no niggers creep up on me trying to hurt my family. If it shot down planes or wallhoppers from trying to get into the country or if it stopped a Chinese/Indian hacker from calling my cellphone or trying to hack into my computer.

There is an inevitability when it comes to technology, someone found out the sword was better than the club, that the bow was better than throwing rocks, and you couldn't go back after that, the future happens and you HAVE to make it work in your favor. You can't just give up things like AI and then hope nobody else will use them against you.
If I could, tech would have stayed in the early 2000s. But I can't. That's not how life works. All we can do is make sure this tech is used for good.

It has to advance. It will, it's like saying at any point in a decade things had to stop. We've been on a wild ride since the 1870s or so, and it's not going to stop. Life was mostly just building rocks and digging ditches all over until the 1400s, then Newton, led to Faraday and all the rest. No going back.

It’s not wrong to perceive that the advancement of tech will produce challenges for regular people. We’re last in line to use new shit.

All the same, Luddite fantasies are useless. No, you wouldn’t be happier if you were born in medieval Europe.

I've seen coders of old saying it can't be done, AI can't replace them ever. Artists say it can't match them. They're not quite, but almost, and mostly old enough and got theirs that they will be.

You'll have to not invest in college bullshit anymore, or whatever. You embrace it or be a luddite of old. The thing you don't like changing around you will change regardless of your 'I wanna be paid to code a line a month waaah!' nonsense.

The amount of lazy ass do-nothing devs that gotta go, that mostly just did meetings and ranting about DEI (making mid 6 figs),.. And the indians that'll go.. I welcome AI to replace them. All of them.

Frankly I've never understood this shit.

I love being able to look up any bit of information at any time. I love being able to get all my books, music, games for free online. Most of the current shitty aspects of society are social/cultural problems not technological ones.

I'd be miserable as shit in the 70s or whatever.
 
In case anyone ever encounters any would be fact checkers and skeptics on the matter, the produce came from Taylor Farms properties in Mexico.
And they say Taco Bell isn't authentic Mexican food?

Mexico is giving us the shits.
Canada is fucking up our lungs.
I hate our neighbors right now, which is annoying because I was feeling the love with the World Cup hosting teamwork.

Bro, people hate on Suno, but if you consider how early into the tech we are and how it does, ten years from now the recording industry will be dead and musicians will rely on live performance. They will likely use AI to form the core of their songwriting and just curate/edit the output.

So much of writing is a fucking slog and the gratification available to regular idiots like me and you, in seeing errant-thought concepts fleshed out with minimal effort, is way too powerful.

Art will become a trade unionist hobby, and I can’t wait for the anguish of deviant art to coalesce into a new warp entity

I am looking so forward to those fart sniffing 'creators' and 'devs' to be reduced to prompt servants. It'll be glorious. Might take awhile, the dumbasses already got their $$ now, but hopefully soon.

To an extent this is true, the problem is that you are forgetting that the genAI capable of this is becoming increasingly centralized and corporatized.

I see no reason to think we will continue to have some of the better stuff available to the regular person who commits wrongthink.
