Man, this is just going to encourage people to just watch it on YouTube. I know I will.

Mostly because it has been variously DDOSed or reported to different companies for hosting doxx. :D Great work everybody.
I am autistic and I can understand it. When stressed, autistic people can exhibit disordered thinking or just naturally pick up on relationships and patterns that neurotypical people do not. We can also have the appearance of unpredictable volatility when facing things like burnout or abuse.
Especially in an era where mental health treatment was really just sending you you to a prison.
Finno-Urgic Chad: "haha hey guys watch this"
I have been using, exploring, and researching generative AI and big data / machine learning for like 6 or 7 years now, and all I can say is that generative AI is not at all ready to take most jobs, mostly because the error rates are extremely high for businesses that really can't tolerate even one mistake, like fast food ordering systems. The liability is going to be insane once a chat bot recommends that someone at the drive-thru order a bleach and mcflurry special, and the high-as-balls teenager working the machine just does what the computer tells them to do.
The issue at hand imo is that C-suites and VPs and shareholders have all been marketed to — it's obvious to anyone who has worked with it in any real amounts of time that this shit ain't ready, but, the brass all sure believe that it's ready, and they're gonna try. Once the funding floor falls out (in, say, an inevitable recession that comes once foreign countries' central banks pull their investments in US savings bonds) and these mega model companies start charging what their tech actually costs, people are gonna be the cheaper option real fast.
Personally, I think that any established professional will be fine. If you are already good at programming, you will probably keep doing programming from here. If you're good at art or design and have work from the past 10 years, you will probably be fine.
Who I mourn for are the kids who are just now coming up. There will be absolutely no cheap opportunities for young and hungry but inexperienced young adults — that space of 'good enough' can and will be filled with generative AI. :/ I have no idea what the solution there is besides a campaign towards mentoring youths and giving them opportunities explicitly.
My suggestion personally is that trans folk start taking boating lessons. They might not let you leave by plane, but they can't stop a small boat from leaving shore somewhere, anywhere, along the 28,000 miles of coastline along the East Coast. Purchasing an old fishing trawler will be helpful, as if your boat obviously has fishing equipment onboard, drone strikes are less likely and less justifiable — especially given how many wealthy, white Americans regularly pilot their little boat-houses to Bermuda every year.
Additionally, in less than three days' voyage, you can reach several sovereign overseas European territories through which to claim asylum, such as St. Pierre and Miquelon (France), Bermuda (Britain), Sint Maarten (Dutch), and Greenland (Denmark). Stay out of public, and stay safe everyone. Now is the time to use all of those social-avoidance skills we have been practicing for decades.
You, my friend, would probably enjoy the magazine 'AdBusters.' I have been a subscriber since college, 20 years now.
you know what the worst part about the creeping nature of murderous, paranoid fascism is? the hypocrisy!
Does Tate mean like the list of doxx that Charlie's defenders are compiling?
I hope Jimmy just releases his same monologues, but from his house like he did during the COVID lockdown.
Okay I know we're all pretty deep into the nerdweb here, but let's not lose the thread of reality here. ABC still pulls close to 5 million individual viewers every night, JUST on broadcast and cable rebroadcast. That ain't fuckin nothing; TV is still an important and influential medium.
There is no ethical consumption under Capitalism. Just do the best you can with what's available to you to reduce suffering and heirarchy. All of this is a fight fought on many, many fronts, some of them mental.
