Ethnic cleansing isn't killing civilians with bombs but you knew that. They're both war crimes. Gazans are being herded into the south to be expelled over the border. Netanyahu just bragged about it. Do you people really get$7000 per post? If not, why are you doing this for free? Don't be a sucker, don't work for Jews for fer free. They're wildly wealthy. Charlie Kirk declined a nine figure donation from netanyahu just before he died and the blood spurt went up rather than out the back like we'd expect from s bullet wound. He was wearing a microphone under his shirt just at that point. His security was Israeli. Exploding pagers, anyone? Kirk also tried to talk Trump out of bombing Iran. Mossad motto: it's NEVER a coincidence!

I really hit a bullseye on this, didn't I? Replies are everything from "this is a conspiracy theory" to "this is bipartisan (and vaccines because why not)" to "I will DARVO you for this!" to "doctors can't be activists, and certainly don't want to have their thing get more money, and there's absolutely no historic precedent otherwise (please ignore massive amounts of precedent to contrary!)"

This is indeed a "conspiracy theory" in that it's a fact that is unpalatable for activists. It is indeed bipartisan in that activists included everything from "dollar signs in their eyes" doctors to soccer mommies who got a reason their Billy is not just SPECIAL, but SUPER SPECIAL, which makes her way more important than other soccer mommies at their next book club meeting. To the political activists who assumed that the more fake grievances they can generate in people, the more votes they can grab for their cause.

It's pretty well understood that current "let's get everything under the same umbrella so activists can claim they have more support" has been modus operandi for far left activists for a while now. Autism is one of those things: they bolted together "being quirky" and "can't be toilet trained, can't speak, constant random bouts of uncontrollable rage and violence" under the same umbrella. This enables former to claim victimhood and ask for political changes and resources based on the latter's situation.

When in reality, they have nothing in common. This isn't even diabetes kind of a situation, where causes are completely different but treatment is partially similar. This isn't even hepatitis like situation where treatments are different, but at least the illness is in the same place.

It's many completely different things, many of which aren't even an illness, all being grouped together for political reasons.

Considering how many responses here miss the point and instead of going "yeah, we need to work harder on this" went full on "I got mine, it works for me, and fuck you"...

We're not going to have a shortage of those proclamations. In fact, abundance of those proclamations will likely be only matched by utter lack of install base.

Indeed. Most readers won't be ancient enough to remember stenographer pools, mechanical typewriters, and telegrams. They'll have seen video but that cannot convey lived experience. They won't have experienced the transition between manual machine tools and vastly mor capable CNC machining, but we all live in the outcomes.

The critical difference was that those old machines, and the software that replaced them, were created to make human workers more productive. To grow company profits through increased worker output. AI is designed to increase profits by flat out replacing those workers, not making them more productive. AI is intended to kill two birds with one algorithm: create software that does human work better and faster than any human could, and then eliminate the costs of human employment.... salaries, insurance and other benefits, training, et al. That's the crucial difference, the intent to replace people, period.
