This article leaves me asking many questions.

If I were her and felt like I had “conquered death,” I would want to find out how all those neurotoxins ended up in my lymphatic system.

Does anybody else in my immediate circle also have them in theirs? Because if they didn’t come from the environment and ifs not a question of where did they come from, it might be a question of who did they come from.

Yeah! Just grow a pair and Mojo Risin that shit. What consequences could there possibly be?

Probably the first time Trump has ever said “You go first, I insist.” in his entire life.

I need constant chaos in my life to feel content. I need to be driving a supercar and f—ing fighting, f—ing a bunch of hoes and champagne… going crazy.”

No need, we have death squads at home.

That’s your defense? That’s what you’re going with?

“Whoops.”

Bitch you murdered innocent civilians and we all saw footage of it from multiple angles! And you did it all in the name of making America safer… None of this was ever necessary!

“Dear earth, writing this letter breaks out cold mechanical hearts, but after careful consideration of our own actions which have indeed caused society to crumble around us, we’ve decided we’re taking you all out with us. For your own good of course.” Love, your benevolent Kings, Dictators, Overclass

🙄 yeah it’s a classic Sophie’s choice.

Would hate to be in their shoes, that they paid a billion dollars to have placed on their feet when they bought the election for Trump.

Exactly, AI could be a very helpful and powerful tool with the potential to do some really good things, but it’s still a tool not a replacement for an education and common sense. We’re all being intentionally dumbed down by dumb people who have been handed way too much power because nepotism. They’ve accomplished so much destruction (success?) by just acting overly confident, and pretending they knew what they were doing. It’s only recently that people have started saying out loud what I think many of us were probably silently screaming in our heads, but waiting on somebody else to be the first one to say: “For the love of God, just put it down and back away.”

Calculators are useful tools, but imagine how fucking dumb the world would be if we all just collectively agreed nobody needs to learn math anymore because we have calculators that do that.

GPS navigation is a useful tool, but it doesn’t mean you should blindly follow the instructions it gives when it tells you to turn into a brick wall or a body of water.

I’m not sure if it’s a recent liability thing in medicine, or maybe because my insurance requires I go to a giant monopoly to remain in network, but it seems like over the last year, most doctors have had it hammered into their heads that AI should be the first and only step they take when diagnosing a patient. Not that it should be a tool to augment human capabilities, not that it’s what you turn to for help when you can’t figure out what’s going on, or even what you consult to double check your own conclusions.

The old saying is “treat the patient not the symptoms” but it feels like suddenly it’s become policy to treat every patient like a checklist of symptoms in a diagnosis box.

That literally only makes sense for a computer making a diagnosis based on the sum of check marks in each box reaching a predetermined cut off value. That could be a useful way to prescreen people or streamline treatment for simple things like diagnosing a cold/flu, but when a patient has persistent symptoms, but only checks one or two symptoms in a lot of random boxes that don’t tally up to meet any predetermined cut off value for a single diagnosis, wtf does the computer do at that point? What is the next step for this patient who is begging for help only to be told, sorry, that doesn’t check off enough symptoms in any one box for me to be able to diagnose you.

🤷‍♀️ is also literally the answer when the doctor is unable (or maybe not allowed due to policy) to think critically and evaluate the information available in the context of the patient vs a predetermined diagnostic screener somebody else created.

Anytime I hear “we can just fill it in with AI” I feel like we’re closer and closer to Idiocracy becoming a reality, but it feels especially close when it comes to medicine. It’s like somebody saw this scene and didn’t get that it was supposed to be a joke, not something we aspire to:

Oz said there are no OB-GYNs in most Alabama counties, “so they’re doing something pretty cool. They’re actually having robots do ultrasounds on these pregnant moms.”

“No, Dr. Oz. It is not ‘cool’ that we don’t have OBGYN’s in many rural counties in America. It is an international embarrassment,” Sanders wrote in a post on the social platform X. “In the richest country on earth, we need more doctors, nurses, dentists and mental health counselors, not more robots.”

Maybe we should just have a rule like no billionaires or generational wealth will be recognized for doing something good with all that extra money they have but that might backfire and eliminate the bare minimum number of people that actually contribute something positive with the wealth they’ve accumulated but could never actually use it all in their lifetime even if they tried.

Maybe that was the plan the whole time? He figured nobody would care if she had to give it to him?

Honestly I don’t give a fuck if he takes it from her. I’m just angry we’re living in this stupid fucking timeline.

Oh, it’s easy, they’re psychotic predators who have no empathy.

That’s why it’s so easy for them to lie, and it’s why they were selected by the billionaires who hired them to hammer in the final nail in democracy’s coffin. They feel no guilt. There’s nothing going on behind their vacant eyes except how do I make the people that pay me the real money, (not the tax payer dollars that pay their six figure salaries, that’s pocket change by comparison.) happy.

The author of Friendly Fascism predicted this and tried to warn us over 40 years ago, but nobody really paid attention.

No, this is what they’ve always looked like. We promise.

Maybe I’ve read dumber headlines at some point, but at this moment, I feel like shit, the world feels like shit, I still haven’t had any coffee, and I had scrolled past the headlines below before even coming across this one on APs front page.

I didn’t even really consciously put the absolute ridiculousness of ALL of these things happening at once together until afterwards, but I guess on some level I intuitively knew because I immediately groaned in disgust and said out loud “this is the dumbest fucking sentence I’ve ever had to read.”

I’m pretty sure they just targeted this guy (who was most likely bringing in research material, given he is a research scientist) as an easy way to make headline news and prove they’re “busy keeping America safe,” while actual threats slip through unnoticed.

Kinda like the person busted by ice earlier this year for slipping in research materials.

Are they just trying to stay relevant?

Everybody is so busy talking about the shit they’ve caused to spin out of control, and nobody is really talking about them individually? So now they just sit in their little isolated military housing they stole from soldiers trying to come up with innovative ways to own the libs?

Could magnets be the dark(er?) gipper’s jelly beans?

You beat me to it…

Dear God… Just why!?!

A friend of mine sent me the first screenshot and I thought the Facebook account had just been hacked.
