    I can’t tell if this is real or not. It sounds ridiculous, but he does say some ridiculous things (like how millions of years of humanity have consumed more energy than four years of data centers…). But this just seems so comically ridiculous that I have trouble believing it.

    This is why I hate when people fail to make it clear when something is satire. When people get used to doubting everything they see, then suddenly when someone really does say something comically ridiculous no one believes it.

    I’ll point it out from time to time and people will say “it’s just a meme, don’t take it so seriously.” But we’re supposed to be the rational and intellectually honest ones, no?

    So why cultivate a meme culture where we can be just as misleading and deceitful as the fascists? This isn’t a fire-with-fire situation. Their goal is to rob us of our humanity; if we stoop to their level, they win.

    Even if he really did say this, my point stands, because of the simple fact that it’s hard to believe at face value due to the prevalence of misleading memes. There’s a line between disinformation and satire. Honest memes should make it clear which side of that line they fall on.

        This made me realize that it would be really hard to distinguish between a satirical NDT quote and something I have earnestly and profoundly thought to myself while 2 edibles into a nature documentary. And I’m not sure how to feel about that.

      If it’s stealing real jobs, perhaps it is time you should reconsider the ‘doesn’t work’ perspective.

        i would say i hope this all underscores how little employers ever actually gave a shit about their employees, but that would be wishful thinking. not only are they not capable of giving less of a shit about you, but they’re also gullible enough to jump on this AI bandwagon that they grasp no understanding of beyond what they’re told by the people con men selling it to them

        It appears to be working, to execs and CEOs. But this will eventually be a problem when you are missing skilled workers who can handle things AI cannot.

      No, he didn’t. Please, for your sake and ours, learn to search for facts yourself instead of asking strangers on the internet to do it for you.

            I appreciate that. It is indeed a problem that people don’t learn things for themselves, but in this case I wasn’t planning to accept any response as gospel. It was more of a poorly communicated “did I miss something?”

          Well, given that it was posted in Memes, and after what he said the other day, it’s pretty easy to determine that it is parody. However, I do sympathize, as we are living in an age where most headlines appear to have come out of The Onion a mere decade ago, but are in fact the reality we face today.
