Stupid and malicious are different.
The offered narrative is "let us build the data center AI control grid now because it's only temporary until we can move it to space".
You and I both know that's not thermodynamically possible with known science.
So do the people saying it.
We have a real problem with Positive Projection where we are decent folks so we project that on people who are not. That is an error even though most people are decent folks. The parasites are not.
I only recent learned that Hanlon's Razor comes from a humor book about Murphy's Law from the early 80's. It's not some ancient axiom of wisdom - it is used by the Cluster B disordered to mask their nefarious deeds.
If you talk about this with most people these days you'll get the Positive Projection script executed like an autorun.
Everybody should turn off autorun whenever possible. Major risk.
> Gardasil
It's sold as an "HPV vaccine" but it only targets about 4% of HPV viruses, specifically the ones most likely to cause cervical cancer in women in their 40's. It's described in the Merck literature.
Not even the HPV most likely to cause throat cancer in men (usually acquired from lady parts).
If cancer treatment advances at the current rate (AI discovery docs estimate 9 years for the supermajority) it's possible that the Gardasil fatalities will have killed more teens than prevented deaths of women.
It's like a Drake Equation for cancer - the coefficients will determine the narrative either positive or negative. This is where free choice is ethically mandated.
Unfortunately there is considerable religious fervor about such things so very few people wants to scientifically discuss nuances.
This is pretty standard when someone leaves Microsoft.
The management above the person leaving sends a nice message about them and their work and NEVER tells the truth about _why_ they are leaving.
At the upper levels I don't think there's really any sincerity about anything said, one way or another. This is just how corporate America operates.
Nextcloud has done great work in terms of EU-Soverignty and offering credible replacements for all the pieces of the the Microsoft stack.
Nextcloud Talk works well for video conference meetings.
MS Teams is a pretty terrible piece of software. The design of it is bad, and the implementation is bad.
Any software that tries to copy it will also be bad.
If you haven't spun up a nextcloud AIO instance yet for your organization(s), you should try it out.
Say more; be specific.
What is missing or broken?
Why isn't EU sponsoring specific features and fixes it needs?
Or assign some of their own developers to submit pull requests.
Or hire *some Europeans* who are unemployed because their war is killing industry.
Let's hear from their project manager instead of faceless wankers and the people responsible for sales.
Among the worst of all bullshit jobs we have invented in the West are narrative pushers and their junk "science."
The propagandists say that their competitors confuse people and they won't believe the propaganda anymore.
The Horror, the Horror.
We'd all be trillionaires if we could see that far into the future with sufficient clarity.
Consider whether a Depopulationist psyop is more or less likely than that The End Times have finally come (unlike the previous thousand pronouncements).
People who are anxious and scared are easy to control. Have a look back at Al Gore's slide deck and see how much they really knew.
Though Competitive Advantage should not be discounted as a very real driver of evolutionary fitness.
The poorest people in the world somehow manage to not extinct their 4B-yr old germ line.
Many Westerners have personal preferences greater than familial survival. It's been trained into them but only in times of mass starvation has this ever happened before in history.
I use a bluetooth page turner pedal for sheet music.
I think it was $14 for two buttons. Maybe there's a third, I only ever use forward and back.
$40 is wild.
They probably need another trillion dollars and this time they'll do it right!
No accountability, no consequences for failure.
I have to admit, when I first heard Trump going on about yet another web site, I thought "who cares?" and ignored the rest of it.
The truth is though? Government web sites are notoriously horrible to navigate. The general public usually wants to do one specific thing that can take a whole lot of searching on the relevant department's own site -- if they even go to the correct one to begin with.
A one-stop AI powered "index" would add some value, IF it was done correctly. I have little faith it will be, but I'm not so opposed to the idea itself.
What they really said is they saw what they estimated to be about a 10% decrease in ability to see faint stars in the night-time skies each year from 2011 through 2022. But this article was written back in 2023
It stands to reason that as we improve night-time lighting in cities and towns on our roads, this would be a trend. But it also stands to reason that 10% decreases in darkness at night will cease. I would imagine much of what they observed was due to the near wholesale swapping of inefficient incandescent or mercury vapor lighting with brighter, more "white" LED lighting. I don't think there's any real trend of adding more and more lighting?
Nobody said computers were going to be polite.
