  • I fail to see how that is significantly different than what we have nowadays with humans.

    We are dependent on large corporations already, some of us just materially while others ideologically as well.

    We are denying healthcare, food, water, and shelter to people who can't afford ridiculous prices or hold the wrong social status or have the "wrong" beliefs, skin colour, sexual orientation, gender identity, (etc., etc.) which is essentially killing them. That's if we don't just outright decide to ""liberate"" some other nation from whatever arbitrary reason and start carpet bombing civilians in hospitals because a handful of terrorists are supposedly active within said nation.

    Catfishing has been a thing since the inception of third-party dating, and scams were a thing since before recorded history. Lying is as old as sentience itself.

  • If AI were sapient/sentient, I'd be 100% for this. Sapiosexuals assemble!

    Given that LLMs are far, far from sapient/sentient at this point, however, this just makes me sad thinking about the sorry state of human interactions nowadays. I don't and can't blame her, though...

  • Both variants are hearty and hefty, they look like something I'd have eaten in amounts which would've made me hate myself for about two hours afterwards!

    It's just that my digestive tract really can't handle this type of food without repercussions anymore :(

    Thoroughly hope you've enjoyed both the previous one and this as well! Living my best life through you!:))

  • That's a neat parallel, we've also started using it as a sort of covert euphemism for "bribe," but it's pretty much only when discussing political contexts (go figure...)!:))

  • Yyyep... I sure wanted to think the XXIst Century would look different, but humans gonna hume, I guess.

    I mean, other than improving education just enough to bring workers up to speed with industry requirements, the Powers That Be haven't really changed things around. Those who own rule, the rest of us are just serfs...

  • From what I can remember (and I may be wrong, it's been aeons since then), there was a time when Democracy failed and a massive orange prick got elected as head of state for one of the most powerful nations on the planet.

    Fun times, those were!

  • In Ye Olden Days, minor Lords used to pay tribute to anyone who took up the crown/took over the lands, to get on their good side. That's actually where the Romanian word for "tip" (bacșiș) comes from, it's what they called tribute payments to the Ottoman Empire.

    Why should this be any different? I mean, it's Trump...
