Every once in a while I’ll see the sentiment that this generation isn’t allowed to have a future (saw it again the other day which is why it’s fresh). Things like this show how accurate that is.

Read that for the first time a couple months ago; it very much felt like where I’m at now with everything.

They should name the archiving ai Herodotus… We really have entered the post truth era.

Those are lyrics from a limp biskit song, with the line said by the patient being the next line in the song. But that line is also from a song by the who, in which he stutters the generation part. Joke is he’s trying to get rid of a stutter, but in failing says another songs lyric. Hope that wasn’t too circular in the explanation.

Well, he was 6’8” and weighed a fucking ton, so maybe?

Haha, exactly. Surprised it isn’t a live action ‘Barbie 2: Return to Kenland’ because marketing says a male lead polls better.

With somehow worse graphics.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children…

-President Eisenhower in his ‘chance for peace’ speech

Forming coherent sentences puts it above large sections of the population. Eventually they’re going to have to dumb down the speech output, ala Dubya during his presidency. Add to that all the conditioning to trust authoritative sources and this is going to turn into a real problem sooner rather than later. I think one of the first things to come out that will really cause damage is replacing teachers with ai. If all those teachers out there would quit asking to make more money than a 12 year old in a meat packing plant, maybe this wouldn’t happen, but I digress… (Kudos to all the teachers out there, obviously.)
