I really cherish Russ and Econ Talk and get frustrated when I read the description or listen to the first few minutes and have to skip the episode, as was the case today.
I have no idea who EY is except that I think he was a conspiracy crank who posted on mma.tv for a long time - I think they're the same poster but I don't really have proof and there's nothing linking them aside from the EY thing ... And I guess it doesn't really matter. mma.tv eventually deteriorated to a white nationalist ultra weirdly right wing shit hole in the same manner that most of my favorite niche forums deteriorated to the left.
I just am fully tired of AI doomerism. It has fully failed to convince me of anything it has ever said and at this point I just want to hear about the cool and awesome future - not some bullshit about paperclips and complete civilizational destruction.

It honestly reads like fan fiction.
However, I have met enough absolutely bonkers folk in my life that it also isn't that far fetched of a possibility - but this updates my priors to believing he's a gay hooker / lover, not some wacko Trump supporter.

My first response to Russia escalating into a full fledged invasion in 2022 is that the US shouldn’t nuked Moscow - an option that is now too late.
It would have saved some X amount of important lives (Ukrainians) and shown the other powers like China that the US stands up for its own - which it considers most of the free world.
I don’t actually believe Russia has an overly functional nuclear arsenal, and I don’t think China responds to Russias defense outside of Strong Words of Something.
Now? Yea it’s probably an agreement where no one is happy - not that I care about the happiness factor of Russia.

' we should kill our own people easier so some perpetually online dudes and fake politicians don't get mad at us ' isn't sound warfare strategy.
Israel should bomb every single possible target that holds terrorists or terrorists adjacent merchandise and see what happens after a year.

China very plausibly released a virus, intentionally or unintentionally, that devastated most of the world economically if not biologically.
1950's America would haven rightly not stood so silently for this kind of shit - we would have gotten out (several) pounds of flesh; and it would have been worth it.
The pussification of our world can be seen in every single corner of our country. Kids barely even say Trick r Treat anymore, they just kind of vaguely stand there expecting candy that is worse by every qualifying measure compared to 20 years ago.
In a meta sense this is for the best; killing several million more people may not be the best thing to do. Buuuuuut, is it really better that a billion of us live in a complete untruth?
as /u/NewCharlesInCharge states ' A lab in China, most likely with funding from the United States. The geopolitics on lab leak are a wash. ' The issue is we aren't hanging our own at a near fast enough rate, or at all.

Mocking the church is my god given right.
I’ve stopped being an annoying atheist because I’m no longer aged 12-23, but, come on, this stuff is still funny.
Or it’s extremely sad and pathetic.
I choose the funny route.
The mistake people always make is telling ((us)) that we don’t understand the history, the theology, the nuance, the glory, the what have you.
I understand why it bothers you, I do, but that doesn’t take into account how much bother religion has been to ((us)) in our own lifetimes.
You try to rule our life, and we mock you, that’s a fair exchange at this point imo. You’re no longer chopping off our heads, and we mock you a bit. What’s the issue, seriously?
I hope you persevere until the threat of Islam is pacified, and the threat of communism, and I hope you never ordain trans non binary furies as Cardinals.
But you will - and it’ll be kinda funny.

' your sense of humor is wrong - you are a racist '
Listen I've had a criterion channel subscription since it started but calling out black criminals by comparing them to apes will never not be funny for me, and most other completely normal (relative) people that I know. We think less of you for thinking finding humor in an awful situation is racist ... And so on in a circle we'll go around each other.
There's plenty of times the word neanderthal gets thrown around for white trash crime and I doubt very much it makes you toss around the r-word.

Now tell us her thoughts on the gays and coloreds!
Time moves - values shift.
No need to go too far in either direction.

Hot take: you should've went to the strip club and your superiors were correct in losing esteem for you and being disappointing.
Same logic applies if they asked to go duck hunting or kayaking.

First off, fantastic username.
Secondly, hoes are always so mad!
To the Gucci, what I would like to happen in the society I hoped we live in is that some part of the (judicial?) branch of the government starts pressing charges for the cronies sending those sorts of emails to tech companies. I take no particularly issue with the state employee themselves and frankly hope that they get off scott free. But there should be hundreds, if not thousands, of arrests to anyone involved in this sort of low level perversion. I want a purge - a gentle one. As much as I would love to write something along the lines of ' off with their heads! ' and as much as maybe I believe in that sort of thing, I understand I probably wouldn't want to live in the sort of society that beheads its pubes for following orders. Arrest them, release them, arrest the people in charge, release them, and hire someone who understands they aren't looking for ' people who say shit '.
People Who Say Shit should be a protected class.

Black Americans are like 30% at least bisexual imo and Latinos are just hiding it through machismo.
Pete would be down low enough for them

I think just like AI and global warming, the downsides are overstated and the upsides under understood and appreciated.
I can not wait until I am part cyborg. I want a metal liver, kidneys, testicles, nose, eyes, left shoulder … I don’t care.
When the human body breaks down - I want to find it with the cold embrace of metal. I want to accentuate my being into perfection. Which doesn’t exist, but maybe just the feeling of.
The stated downsides are all there. Human hacking will be a thing.
But, we’ll just deal. We deal with things now and we’ll deal with things then. That’s the human spirit.

It’s completely unreasonable to not have home rental payments on your credit report. It’s a history of paying your largest bill - and it doesn’t exist outside of an eviction. So only negative, but never a positive.
Saying people should rent from slumlords if they don’t have credit yet or bad credit is slightly above barbaric thinking.

I haven't met a single married couple that I would in any way whatsoever call happy. The closer I get to a married couple, the more I realize they quasi get along and usually hate each other.
I've found zero current exceptions.
Which makes me feel like I don't understand happiness. Or maybe happiness can come with many (many!) caveats attached to it.
Not really about your point, and not really saying you're wrong, I just at this point in my life assume most everyone is a pod person and married people turn into a cocoon of bullshit.

people like Pelosis can afford and procure services of higher quality providers than crazy hobos.
Come on man, if I win the lottery, I'm still gonna love 100$ footjobs.

It was far worse than Afghanistan
Per usual, Trump is god-damn right (insert Breaking Bad gif) ... death and decline in America is much worse than any other part of the world, but most especially the past of the world that for 2,000 years is unchanged - with all the negatives that entails. Sure, the almost 2,000 US deaths there is a shame, but the 175,000(ish) death of the Afghani are, I don't know, worth less than the weekend murders in Chicago. It's obviously a shame, it makes me hate America so much, I wish those Afghan's could be fat pieces of shit like me drinking IPA's on Halloween night while watching MNF and possibly ordering Mexican food (imagine an Afghani burrito? Bet that shit would be tight), but they're not. They're some kind of other that isn't me and it's a travesty. But fuck if we can't even make our own better, TF are we gonna do with the average Afghani? Let them live their lives? Ok - but that life is objectively terrible.

What’s being exposed is our useless government. This may be worth it if it wakes up everyone to what their jobs are supposed to - I have my doubts.
Peace is still there … and unlike the other poster, I agree it’s been peaceful and prosperous for the western world and some adjacencies.
Like all good things, hubris was too high and it’s time to correct course - which this isn’t, nor will we do it after it’s over. Wow will continue.

even just advocating for the nuclear genocide of the Arab world is enough to permanently destroy your credibility when it comes to condemning racists or white nationalists, who are in many cases less extreme in their policy recommendations.
I think we should be a bit more clear here: until they are happy and secure.
They are not secure because the people around them want them dead. The people around them constantly kill them, want to kill them, pray to kill them, hope to kill them, etc

Ok but then every other war ever is due to religious reasons?
If we had the same machinery during the Crusades, WWI & II would be barely a blip in the awe of massacre.
Tiny human tribes have been killing other tiny human tribes with the justification of religion since forever - you don’t get to point at the last century and say well look what you godless fucks have done!
You didn’t cuz you couldn’t! (Obviously not you or yours - just the palette of history)
Hell yea - I’ve finally been highlighted !!!
Do not personally attack them
Come at me
On a more serious note, I could read ‘ AI slop ‘ for days and find it interesting and unlike other people’s fantasy football teams, I find others AI interactions fascinating as well.
I understand that this place does not, which I also find fascinating, and honestly it makes me understand plot points of future anti AI readings & cinema better.

War - it takes war.
And the longer Israel diddles, the longer the suffering before the cleansing spirit of war.
I wish war was never invented. I wish it were obsolete now. But it was, and it isn't.

The community wasn't calling black people great apes (that I'm aware of based on this discussion), they were calling black criminals that because black people in the US commit a vastly disproportionate amount of crime and the media doesn't cover it so people are covering it with crude humor.
I'd suggest you stop pretending people are tired of a race rather than a large minority of the race (criminals)
I'm not sure how the answer isn't soaring corporate profits. Yea, the government is printing bullshit amounts of money for bullshit things, but corpo profits are higher every year.
The rich are eating us instead of the other way around.
Do I want deflation? Yes - eggs should be cheap. Bread should be cheap. Celery should be cheap. Apples should be cheap.
Do I want rent control? No ... ... But! We should be making way more money than compared to the increase in rent. I don't know the answer - the free market is kaput and I still fear the government more than corporations but it's getting close.
The American dream is done for who the American dream was supposed to be for in the first place. I'm glad IT workers are doing great, but fuck them, no offense I know a ton of them and they're fantastic people, but fuck them - the rest of us are being left behind.
