Its understandable that if a huge technological wave is coming and you don't know how to surf that you'd be against it.
I think its just a relatively small group that really knows that AI is coming for their jobs. Creatives are the most up front about this, trying to establish a cartel where they will deny anyone that uses AI a space. Gaming has this too with Steam mandating AI use disclosure so people that hate AI can boycott the product (although this just doesn't work if the game is good). I don't think Steam cares about this, but they've neatly sidestepped the issue by letting the consumer make up their own minds.
As an aside there is currently a huge AI slopwave that has swamped the Steam platform, highlighted by the recent Steam Nextfest. This trend will probably continue for quite some time.
Anyway, the mass feeling might come as more mainstream professions are automated away. By the time we have PlumberBots crawling under your sink or into your toilet, the riots will be well and truly underway. YangGang 2038?

pro-datacentre
Some people seem to really hate datacentres. Can someone steelman this for me?
There's niche, addressable issues like local power/water prices (and I'm not sure I understand the water argument as it should be reusable just like in your desktop rig) and the infrasonic hum that can apparently cause anxiety over the long term. Outside of that though, it just seems like the phobia over anything nuclear.
Is this just a subconscious projection of a fear of change and obsolescence? I can't imagine seeing the first railroads go down during industrialisation and decrying the whole thing (unless maybe you're a part of the teamsters union).
I going from John Kiriakou's discussion of the incident and I think it was War on Terror related.

is hot enough to make them forget themselves
I think this might be counterproductive. I think maybe a 7/10 can fly under the radar, but is still cute enough to get a guy's attention. Then have her do an emotional spearfishing of the target with the equivalent of a psychologist with the target's psychological profile on their lap speaking into their earpiece. She can be whatever the target needs; smart enough to listen to and understand his work, or be comforting while his wife ignores him, show possible acceptance of their fetish etc.
I think that's how we see a lot of these chinese honeypots come through with cute looks rather than stunning looks that would just draw attention ('why are you working in engineering again?'). For the 'hard mode' ones anyway. Pretty easy to drop a superhot escort in at someone's hotel bar and wire up their hotel room.
I don't know how modern China compares.
Apparently the French, Russians, Chinese and practically anyone not from the Western sphere are still running them. The French are doing it... well probably because they're French.

America supposedly stopped honeypotting with their spies for a few reasons:
- The blackmail didn't work. There was one mullah that asked for copies of his kompromat for 'personal use'.
- They had a hard time telling their best and brightest female agents to go and sleep with terrible people so they could be in a position to steal secrets. This left them with using whores as agents which made them only really able to generate kompromat (See #1)

When he posts on x he gets thousands of likes within one minute.
Does anyone know how easy it is for an astroturfed influencer to get botfarms to do this on various platforms like X and YouTube? I'm not accusing Fuentes of this. I'm just curious as I think some non-captured influencers use bots to boost themselves with impressions but also comments. Probably only by about 30% or so to stay under the radar.

Critical theory tries to get around that with its usual sophistry and redefinition. Racism = power + prejudice where because black people don't have systemic power like white people do, they can't be racist.
This is reflected all the way back to the bourgeois and the proletariat. It's custom engineered rhetorical weapons that can't be used against their owners and that can be used to create permission structures for you to do all sorts of nasty things to your outgroup. See also: 'The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house'.

I think things like fent zombies create the circumstances that better create and sustain patronage networks. Basically with a drug problem we now need the drug NGO ecosystem (outreach, rehab, legal aid etc) which can be partially funded by the taxpayer. Things like this link in well with other overlapping issues like mental health, which also has its own NGO ecosystem.

You can have a genetic lottery body, but if the software isn't there you won't be able to peak performance.
Why do F1 teams work so hard on choosing the right driver?
I remember a friend once made a reasonable argument that if he had his choice he we would be 'really rich and really stupid'. He had a caveat that his money would be managed by someone else. Then he would spend his money on stupid and simple things that made him happy.
I remember some rednecks in a youtube once that were rich 'from the lottery?' and they built a monster truck track on their property and just threw parties and did stupid stuff all the time.
Edit: I should say he explained that a lot of it was chasing happiness and he figured the easiest way to do it was through an 'ignorance is bliss' approach to the world. He wouldn't know what he was missing out on and he wouldn't have the anxiety that often pairs with intelligence.
There will always be hierarchical status/face games. They will wear different faces, but they won't go away.
Edit: I should have said even if you want to ghost out post-scarcity and just do your own thing without harming anyone else, there will always be Someone That Thinks You Aren't Doing The Right Thing. They will come in and start interfering in your life. And then you're right back here.

Basically, "we have to build it because if we don't, the other people will and then they'll conquer us".
Most people don't want to spend X dollars on building armies, but there's always one guy like Boney or Mustache Man out there that just can't leave it alone, so game theory it is. This genie isn't going back into the bottle.

I'm not and that's a crime in itself.
Where possible there is a push to create laws about 'speech that causes offense' as a means of sidestepping the truth as a defense. They wish to make speaking 'offensive' truth a crime.

Drinking less alcohol tracks with everything I've heard. Try to keep an eye out for suppression of other behaviors.
Should the surrogate be able to turn around and sue for child support? She should be able to force a DNA of the donors to prove their maternity/paternity.
Edit: If so, what does this mean for father's rights regarding child support when they wish to legally surrender their paternity prior to birth?
