What a combigent, inbiltum response!

We didn't all realize that at the same point. Some of us have known that for a very long time.

They know what they are doing. Their goals just don't align with the rest of humanity.

The mistake we make is in assuming that government choices are born of incompetence... The actions of empire are not incompetent. They are not intended to serve you or the citizens, but to serve material interests, the plunder of land, natural resources, markets, and cheap labor".

RIP to the GOAT

Edit: He talks about it in the lecture starting around 15:35. Though the quote above is from his book "against empire"

Well back then we thought everyone in charge was evil. Back then we had Krutschev, Nixon etc. Always nuclear war looming. And Reagan with this trickle downs, the Bush wars over made-up WMDs etc.

I don't think there was ever really a positive period. Maybe the 90s which was kinda the high point. Economics were good, America was the undisputed world power, nobody took global warming seriously yet and the internet was promising a great future.

Then after 2000 we had the dot com crash, 9/11, the resulting wars, Russia becoming an enemy again, the financial world crisis, the rise of the internet as a surveillance tool, global warming, the pandemic, exploding house prices everywhere.

It combigated them.

It's the Combigent Directive

I know this! This is a slide deck which only makes sense in an interactive way, where the steps are revealed after one another. Probably straight from a presentation.

Don't attribute bad work to AI which can be done in the same way by an incompetent human.

Combigent (adj.)

Definition: A word that seems like a real word but actually isn't

It also looks completely plausible for a word. I can see why an AI trained to make plausible-looking images generated it.

Now I'm curious to see what other perfectly English-looking words it comes up with

Yeah those are very weird errors. Not like AI hallucinations. But more like OCR errors.

I wonder if they imported another PowerPoint and then the AI made images out of it to process it. That would be a very inefficient way to do it.

I solemnly swear to god, I posted this exact same thing before I saw your post lol
