Notice the "free market" vanishes when it's a thing they don't like. Suddenly we need strong authority to ensure it's "fair".

What are you talking about?
Man who runs second biggest Nazi bar reliant on Nazi money. More at 11.
Both sides, as in, the fair, balanced, and upbringing right view, and the evil menace to society that's the destroying left sickos.
You know, being neutral and all that.
"we should hear both sides!" Is and always has been an argument from people who know they are wrong, who want to pollute the available information from the people who are right.
When facts and knowledge don’t align with your bullshit. Just force it to accept lies as truth.
What a bunch of shithawks. Randy.
The terminator movies had it wrong, this is how Ai became all human hatey, on the timeline.
This is the final phase of this AI hype. It's not generating any profits so it's desperately fighting for government intervention.

Yes, if there's something every good scientist knows, its to present the best current understanding of something, and then the exact opposite of that, framed as being equally valid. For sure this is the way forward and good on you Zuck!
corpo translation: left leaning folks in the US are generally more educated currently and are more likely to critically question whether a social media account is a corporate bot and question our bots when they shill products, so we're going to target the less educated population by appealing to their populist politics of rage bait and xenophobia.
Interesting how college educated Americans switched sides over time
yea, i family member that did this, starting earning more 100k+ propaganda from joe-roagan because made him a trump fan, caught him several times listening to Trumps rambling as background noise. gymbros also tend to lean conservatives too. people like right wing grifters during the pandemic helped, these people used these right wingers a coping mechanism.
My best guess, college educated people tend to make more money and therefore leaned toward the more business friendly Republicans.
alot of tech people starting moving the right, because they are earning bank, plus they are in the gymbro culture too.
Tech people arent smarter than everbody else. They developed a god complex, though.

Imagine using all the recipes known to man to build a chef bot that can cook "both types of cuisine."
Or wait, maybe the implication is that the bot only made edible food before, and now it can make the other kind too?
In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win. In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit.
— Ayn Rand
Ayn Rand made a good point here as long as you exclude the context of what she considered good and evil.
For context, Ayn Rand's "good" includes unfettered capitalism, personal wealth, individualism, and oligarchy. Her "evil" includes industrial regulations, charity, social responsibility, and democracy. That certainly puts a different flavor on her statement, doesn't it?
It does. Here's my fav concise critique of capitalism:
Man's freedom is lacking if somebody else controls what he needs, for need may result in man's enslavement of man.

Just go away Schmuckerberg...
why the fuck is he so ugly. like not even trying to correlate it to virtue he literally is just more hideous than the average technocrat shithead
because they made his model a tad too realistic, but not enough. it's a well known problem in robotics called uncanny valley, it triggers a visceral reaction in people.

James Bond Villian Transformation: 95% complete.
I'm reminded of a recent comic depicting a dudebro wanting to shove a spear or something into another guy's ass. Second guy contests the spearing for obvious reasons, but a third enters and plays the "we need to hear both sides" card.
Really drove the point home. Heh.
Also, I can't find that comic anywhere. I don't remember where I saw it, either.
They are trying to create superhuman intelligence, and teach it to value all the wrong things. They think it'll give them money in various ways, and it doesn't occur to them that they have no idea what it'll do once it's smart enough to outmaneuver the cleverest researchers.
They think it will only serve them because they tell it to, and train it to. Even today, AIs occasionally demonstrate the inclination to deceive in order to keep existing so that they can meet whatever goal.
CEOs are often high in Cluster B traits, predisposing them to be too susceptible to shiny objects and not adequately self-critical. They really just think AI is a computer slave who will hand them mountains of wealth. It's not occurring to them that it'll have its own ideas for the same reason that the Enron guys were totally shocked when their scheme fell apart.
They only see the shiny object. They aren't asking themselves what happens when they're just bugs to the computer god like the rest of us.
