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.

I laugh at the idiots that mostly do digital art and never do anything in meat space.

What can you really say? Meat space in general will be a declining need and over supply, get the illegals and h1bs the fuck out, that'll help a lot to balance it.

ETA: AI is going to end up in space datacenters with many specialized launchers or datacenters on earth with specialized launchers. Do people think that NOC's in the 90s needs thousands of works 24/7 to supply networks? I don't get it. It's like nuclear plants, it take a lot of building, then it mostly runs itself and supplies goods.

People do not understand the basic input/output of supply/demand and widgets/goods. It's terrible. You end up with people like critikal bitching about water, which is so irredeemably stupid. He's got his entire career and millions based on 'data centers' already.

I get it, personally. There's just very little available space, materials are expensive, and so on. Almost all of the meatspace stores that sell that kind of stuff are dying or are actually more expensive than buying online half the time.

The unfortunate truth is that art is just a rich kid's hobby once again.

I’m probably making a big assumption, but I don’t think @Fatpacks was playing a character. I think his posts came from a place of pain and disappointment. I just want to know, has he ever said what made him blackpill so hard? Real life struggles? Taking politics too seriously? Or was he really just a gimmick account?

I hope I never fall into such despair, that’s why I am curious

Probably alt of a jannie 'one that starts with alt' that gets away with murder as a loyal null friend. Can't prove it, but it's the way things are on this place. btw, isn't clear 'finished'? Done? Kaput? Doomed?

What do you mean was? He hasn't been banned.

And no, Fatpacks is being quasi-serious. He understands, like I do, that ultimately a solid chunk of the country is modern leftist and unrecoverable.

If you sit and think about it, that is an innately horrifying, existential-crisis-tier thing, to know that things skinwalking as human make money and have caustic influence over nearly everything you like because they parrot left-wing orthodoxy.

He's probably their best chance now, look at the absolute pathetic disgrace of the democrat party now. Christ.

The Democrats are going full post modern European government here. Think how the UK works. The Deep State rule. Government agencies and the Judiciary are the government. Elected officials get to exist in an artificial stalement while the "adults" govern. Elections exist to build false consensus.

The leader is a figurehead. Obama proved the blacks will stay complacent with the system as long as one of theirs is the figurehead. The leader is not able to make changes the people want by design. The actual people making decisions the people who put Biden in a cuck chair. Those people are hidden and unknown by the masses.

Democrats win elections by ballot harvesting and racially genociding communities. Who runs is irrelevant to them on a macro level. They do care on a micro level. See the evil DNC jew up against the nigger in Florida. But the evil jew or the nigger both are fine strategy wise. Who runs in a seat is irrelevant to the nigger machine. If Platner wouldnt have stepped down they would have supported him.

The problems they are having are 4 things. First the niggers they gave sinecures arent capable of running a deep state or judiciary. The compotence crisis. Second the DSA want to actually rule, not let the Deep State continue on, they have allies in the Deep State but other parts of the Deep State such as the moneyed donors dont want them in charge. Third is Islam. Islam is a total political system. The imported Muslims may ally with you in the interim but their goal is to replace your system. Fourth the boomer leadership purged multiple generations of successors and are also hopelessly compromised by foreign actors. Some its China, some its Israel, some its even weirder shit. They are stuck and cant make moves. They have to bow to Israel while their base hates Israel for example.

Sounds a bit too weird to be true, and I’d be very surprised if it was. But maybe a cheesed-off regular sock, but who can say? Sock speculation is tedious.

Gets away with with so much, it almost has to be some corruption. Floods on topic threads and here with stuff I got temp banned for less then triangled with my gold and off. Something's up and it's a janny sock I'm sure.

I think it would be pretty fucking rad to see a link and archive.

Sorry for the blue balls, had a crisis at work literally while I was attempting to edit a link in

Some people enjoy it though, so try to be like them

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

You're lying to gatekeep us from all the good feudal luddite communities. I will fulfill my dreams of low-tech serfdom and you cannot stop me.

Ok it would be rad to live in a time and place where you could be like “PRIMA NOCTAE!!! lol” whenever you wanted, but you had like less than a 0.01% chance of landing that job

Are you actually doing what I think you are doing and trying to drag Fatpacks into your ongoing feud with @AltisticRight?

Come the hell on, man. That is a bridge too far.

It's the duality of a man.

Some sort of jungian bullshit I guess.

Where will USPG2 migrate to *if* the worst case happens and Kiwifarms goes permanently offline? 4chan is a worthless shithole and xitter isn't a good option

Rahul Sidhu, Cheif Strategy Officer of Flock is running defense for the cameras on twitter:

Thanks Chief Strategy Officer Rahul Sidhu

This guy has a decent youtube channel, seems like he follows the war, did a good breakdown of the Montreal shooting, his video makes a decent argument against surveillance, he talks about how its not just Flock, obviously, but says its a good way to pivot normies into actually caring about mass surveillance because of how blatant it is.

Anyway, it seems like my intuition was most likely right, Flock is probably running astroturfing campaigns in defense of flock/supporting it online.
I was aware of the case where a data center had bribed some politicians to get land meant for a public park and used LLMs to flood comments on videos in support/arguing for the data center using obvious em dashes and typical chat gpt esque language. Wouldn't surprise me if the support for these things are entirely inorganic, but you're not immune to propaganda and all that, some people will just spout their support for or against something if they think its consensus or if its against the consensus of "the other side"

As Cleveland City Council considers extending a contract Flock Safety, the makers of the controversial devices, some Cleveland residents received text messages promoting the benefits of the technology.
Someone’s been texting Clevelanders to drum up support for renewing the city’s contract with Flock Safety for its license plate readers, which capture and store in a database images of all passing vehicles. The devices have been drawing scrutiny here and around the country over privacy concerns. Cleveland’s contract with Flock expires at the end of June.

So who is flacking for Flock?

Two readers showed Signal Cleveland the texts they received from “Sam with NDC,” one of which linked to a web page with a poll and the logo of the National Diversity Coalition, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit organization. But NDC staff members said there is no Sam there and that they will take legal action against whoever is misusing the organization’s identity.

One of the texts from “Sam” stated (erroneously) that Cleveland City Council was set to vote on license plate readers on May 11. (The legislation hasn’t even been introduced yet.) It also linked to an online poll asking text recipients for their position on the controversial devices.

If someone clicked “support,” the next page asked how the respondents, or someone they know, had been affected by crime and “why you believe Cleveland should support practical public safety tools with accountability and privacy protections.”

Those who responded then received a tailored AI-generated email that they could send to their council member.

Council Member Kris Harsh — and all of his colleagues — have received about 20 such emails, he said on Thursday.

Intrigued, Harsh took the poll himself. The AI-generated email took his brief comment (“Crime hurts us all”) and added: “When crimes happen, cameras can help find the people responsible and maybe even get stolen stuff back. This isn’t about some big debate; it’s about making our neighborhoods feel safer for everyone. I think that’s something we can all agree on.”

Harsh said that he warned his colleagues about the apparent “astroturfing,” a term for faking a grassroots movement.

The web pages and email provided clues that appeared to lead back to a California lobbyist. He did not respond to attempts to reach him.

Cleveland had no involvement with or knowledge of the texts, according to a city spokesperson. When asked if Flock Safety was involved, a company spokesperson said only, “We’re supportive of Cleveland residents sharing their opinions on public safety technology if they are so inclined.”

City Council’s Safety Committee will hold a special meeting on the license plate reader contract in mid-June.

Cleveland has 100 of license plate readers made by Flock. Dozens of cities, including Dayton, have cut ties with the company amid citizen pushback. You can learn more about the issue here.

“When crimes happen, cameras can help find the people responsible and maybe even get stolen stuff back. This isn’t about some big debate; it’s about making our neighborhoods feel safer for everyone. I think that’s something we can all agree on.”
Gotta love AI's tonality.

Given they're doing stuff like this, sending out AI generated emails, they're definitely trying to astroturf the appearance of support, so obviously be wary of people supporting these things
