    Why go all the way to China? Plenty of data centers to bomb right here in the US.

      Well this would be considered a blessing and a curse. The old knuckle biter… the turd that was born only to drop down and splash your ass.

    Can we stop pretending Obama and his cabinet were the good guts, yet?

      It’s kinda silly to call any complex political party “the good/bad guys”. Compared to the current administration of the US Obama looks like a shining knight on a unicorn. Geopolitically they did some damage too though. Libya says hi. All in all it’s just too complicated to break it down to good/bad.

      Either way this is just some guy who’s speculating about AGI and it sounds like the usual AI company ad headline about how scary good and important their technology is. Is it though? AGI by next year, bro, we swear. Just one more datacenter, bro. China is winning the race, bro, please. A few more trillions and we’ll get there, bro.

        The US is not complex, if actions are taken to preserve the empire over the wellbeing of all, they are bad people.

        US Obama looks like a shining knight on a unicorn.

        Only because, unlike Donald, he didn’t open his mouth about all the shitty things he was doing every hour of every day.

        Obama was just as much of a motherfucker as Donald. He was just smart enough to make his pretty, generic speeches and otherwise keep his fucking mouth shut.

          Both sides?

          From a comparative standing:

          Trump is clearly worse. Also more incompetent. Our grandkids will be recovering from his impact on the working class.

            The only difference was presentation. That and, arguably Obama’s corruption was worse considering his brain was actually functional.

            As for ‘both sides’, might be a good time to ditch your thought-terminating cliches.

                Am I arguing with a high schooler?

                Or a bot. “The only difference was presentation.” is a gemini-assed thing to say.

                While Obama and Trump do have policy differences, their primary role is as facilitators of imperialism and maintenance of settler-colonialism. In that sense, that crucial, principal sense, both are deeply aligned, and as this is principal, it is the driving factor.

      It’s the successor that’s funny the heavy lifting tbh. Seems very sane I’m comparison.

      Also: ‘good guts’ is a very good typo

    As much as I am all for the destruction of data centers, can we not find a civil solution like having governments create malware that destroys the contents of the server and then shreds the bytes instead?

    So, this is the real reason they are selling the “AGI” bs narrative to regular people. More excuses for wars. As I have been saying…the US should be considered a global threat. Nobody is safe from this warmongering lunatics. If the world won’t strike first…they will.

      MAGA always forgets that. They were SHOCKED that Iran fired back, and immediately destroyed their logistics hub in Bahrain.

      MAGA thinks everybody is as stupid as they are, and they don’t understand that EVERYBODY is much smarter than them. Even the Pakleds understood that they were stupid. MAGAs are dumber that Pakleds.
