Whoooooooo boy. So much to unpack here.

>you all

Interesting phrasing.

Ikr? This is easily a Zune level Black Swan event.

The ideal scenario is to have enough time to get the populace to accept and treat the idea that success is not tied into a financial or external incentive but is found in contentment and creative exploration. You don't have to get it to be accepted wholesale, but just float it as a viable point of view. That would make a lot of the transition much easier.

That's... probably not in the cards, however.

You do what you gotta do then, bud. You're a little too weird for me, however, so I'm just gonna block you and move on with my life.

Good luck with... whatever this is that you are going through.

Ooooh. Weaponizing mental health to win an online argument. Really not a whole lot lower you can go as a person. Hell, I find it distasteful, and if it's making me feel a bit icky, I can imagine how strongly that's gonna make others feel.

Be better. For real, man.

I want you in charge of everything.

Please be quiet while the adults are talking. Thanks.

It reads like someone gave ChatGPT the prompt, Ted Kaczynski cutting a wrestling promo to own the libs.

Really is it's own indictment, isn't it?

Peep toe combat boots. I have refined tastes.

Pics, or it didn't happen.

Big ol endorse.

Oh, the line is celebreties. People with money and influence. Gotcha. Not you or I. Our "betters". Just gonna go commission some deepfake porn of this guys mother and see how he feels then.

Give it a day or two. You'll get it eventually. I believe in you.

Many people are always saying what people that talk about them need them to say. Weird how that works.

That's what I'm saying. We detonated a bomb big enough that we thought there was a very real possibility it could ignite the atmosphere and kill us all... why the cold feet now?

Yeah, my calculus hasn't changed a bit. Let's let it loose and get this party started!

You are a very serious person. Please understand that I am not. Please, I beg of you. Understand this. Be better than most. Please.

Oooooooh, like Vampires?

Don't think we'll have to worry bout that, friend. Call it a hunch.

I'll take my chances. Let it loose. Either we die, drift into an overstimulated dream, or reach the apex of society. Dying by AI is such a dumb thing to worry about. Either you worry and are right, in which case you died, or you worry and you are wrong, in which case it's pointless. Same as worrying about getting nuked. The other two options sound fun. Let's fucking do this and see what happens! So exciting!

So this is the new "Think of the children!!!" craze. Damn. And I thought we were gonna bring back the old D&D satanic panic again because it got so popular.

Can't help but think the Tower of Babel is a fitting parable to get aquainted with if you are going to game out this idea. Not from a religious point of view, but from the point of view of cultural equity and unification... I'm not sure you can accomplish what you are proposing while keeping cultural distinctions intact. Then again, never been done before, so who knows?

That's not how any of that works, at all... like, I don't mean to be rude, but seriously, no. That's an idea even Roland Emmerich would pass on.

They can't stop me from licking all of them, too.
