What they imagine is a world in a perpetual state of war/warfare, one in which you can only be secure if AI autonomously shoots at whatever it deems a threat to national security — including “invaders”, of course

Historian calls for AI content of Occupation to be labelled
Dr Gilly Carr says it must be clear so people know what is fake and what is historical evidence.
“A historian is calling for AI-generated images and videos showing the Occupation and other historical events to be labelled so they can be easily distinguished from historical evidence.”

The chatbot creeps have mindfreaked themselves into a sort of irrecoverable epistemic disease where the distinction between words and reality is inconvenient for their self-conception so they've completely excised it. Literally cannot distinguish between reading about something and it happening.

We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

As I have said since Feb 2025, Trump is in office to solve Putin's problems. How else are you going to ensure that Putin's failed state becomes prosperous? it is already having to be propped up by China.

A post on X from the betting platform Polymarket that says “BREAKING: Anthropic CEO says Claude may or may not have gained consciousness, as the model has begun showing symptoms of anxiety.”
Literally as I’m arguing with someone about whether AI companies are misleading people into believing their technology possesses God-like super-intelligence I see this monstrosity

Se è la scusa più vecchia del mondo — “non ti sto invadendo, ti sto liberando!” — temo sia proprio perché in qualche modo funziona. Il mondo è pieno di scemi, di violenti, di barbari

Capito? "L'Iran non è stato attaccato dagli Stati Uniti"! Era un intervento di liberazione -- dalla vita, immagino.
