Isn’t this basically how Taylor Swift got her start … her millionaire father just buying thousands of her debut album at the beginning.

It’s also a sign of things to come

We will reinforce our false and superficial ideas of the past or even present with the help of AI

All the vague uneducated and ill informed ideas we all have about anything and everything will all be magnified and exaggerated a hundred fold.

People want to only believe what they want because they hate being wrong … and they never believe or want to believe that their side, their group, their community no matter what it is can ever be wrong.

I’m not immune to it myself and I constantly have to remind myself that I can easily fall into that same mentality.

Most of us are never taught to be self-critical or to properly question the world or the people around us.

This is thing I keep pointing out about AI

We’re like teenaged trailer trash parents who just gave birth to a genius at the trailer park where we’re all dysfunctional alcoholics and meth addicts …

… now we’re acting surprised that our genius baby talks like an idiot after listening to us for ten years.

Anyone that can be funded endlessly by a corporate and capitalist elite can become president.

If billionaires and corporate leaders decided tomorrow that you should be president, they could dump millions of dollars and a few years worth of hired professional help and they’d make you president.

It’s not the will of an individual person or a personality that makes a president … it’s whichever group of wealthy backers who decide to fund the campaign … after that it is j just a matter of how much money they are willing to spend to make it happen.

Yes a call or a even a regular talk with someone in the normal sense is not sexual at all

But if you both lay on the floor with your heads next to one another in an upside position from one another … where you placed your mouth very close to your listener’s ear and they did the same to you … and both of you are so close that your cheeks touch one another as you talked … you might not be tonguing their ear but you are close and intimate enough that it does become something else and may even start becoming something close to being sexual or sensual.

It was just a silly thought and image that came to me the other day while talking on the phone … we’re basically whispering into each other’s ears when we use a phone in the traditional sense.

topologically, though, isn’t that just the same as all speaking and listening? it’s all mouth to ear.

True … if we were standing together in the same room and having a conversation, it would just be a normal chat where we would both be standing about arms length away from each other.

But I thought the idea of a phone conversation was weird a few days ago. You speak into a mic that is very close to your mouth and your voice is transmitted to a speaker that is pressed up against the ear of the listener … and they are doing the same from their perspective.

It would be like if we were both in the same room again and having a conversation … except this time, we decide to lie on the floor … where I would be upside down from you and you the same to me … and you position your head really close to mine and I speak really close into your ear and you do the same with mine … we have this conversation so intimately that our cheeks touch the entire time.

Phone rings

decide to answer call

muffled noises … ??? …

can’t hear the caller because they put saran wrap over their phone as they tried to provide a safe 69 phone conversation

They are in the same group of people that insist on playing music on their tinny device or little boom box while walking down the street.

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

… time again throughout history, bad things and terrible ideas only come about due to the ignorance and inaction of individuals who think that a movement may be good for them but deep down know that they are not morally right, so instead they choose to do nothing in the hopes that their most secret thoughts and beliefs might come true but if they don’t, they can plausibly deny everything.

I think he ended up being Rasputin and invented vodka

THE END IS NEAR!!

I’m guessing the store employees originally uncovered 100 kgs of cocaine

Do you ever clean your air fryer?

Maybe we were all dead inside to begin with … and then we created an internet that offered nothing of value in return.

Not only is it stupid for exaggeration but for also glossing over the idea that it’s logical, sensible or moral for any person to own so much wealth that they would never be able to enjoy even just 1% of that during a single lifetime.

It’s completely absurd also from the thought that as one person owns enough wealth to pay for the lives of millions of people … millions of people are living in complete poverty and starvation.

We look through ancient history and laugh at the thought of our ancestors who worshipped kings, queens, god men, emperors and all powerful leaders … we’re still doing the same thing.

These thoughts don’t just reflect on people like Musk but on all of us for thinking and accepting that this is all normal behavior for what we all like to think is a modern sophisticated society.

Lol … society is suffering from the same short comings and ignorance humanity has always dealt with.

Our made up kings and queens believe they own the world and are surprised when they don’t have full control over anything or anyone.

Swappable hard drives

I have a ThinkPad with easy access to the hard drive. It’s one screw, remove a small panel and slide out the hard drive, slide in a new hard drive and reinstall the panel and screw. It all takes about a minute.

I have a drive for my Linux setup and another for windows.

I gave up setting up dual boot setups because I’m not as skilled or capable and I’ve lost entire setups in the past due to updates and changes and it was constantly frustrating for me. So I figured that just swapping hard drives was the easiest for me. No configuration, no changes and neither OS can interfere with one another.

I use my Linux as my daily driver for everything and windows when I need something from windows. I only ever use windows maybe once a month or once every second month. I spend more time regularly updating windows than in actually using it.

Mining CEO: is there a cheaper way to deliver this mineral rich material to the surface of the earth?

Mining scientist: YES! We can redirect the asteroid towards the planet and make it land on the surface!

Mining CEO: how much will this cost?

Mining scientist: probably billions of lives.

Mining CEO: … No no … I mean how much money will this save us and how much money will we make?

I do agree that we are very inventive, capable and imaginative when it comes to solving great problems.

Unfortunately we are also capable of becoming very destructive, ignorant, selfish and absolutely brutal to one another especially under a lot of stress and anxiety.

My greatest fear in the coming decades is mass migration and entire populations of people moving to places where they won’t be welcome, and people in places where everyone is relocating to worried that it will engage endanger their survival. The biggest problems we’ll face won’t be environmental… they will be political and social.
