Yeah, I see denouncing and illustrating terrorist attacks as a good thing.

Palestinians knew who they were when they elected them.

Getting rid of misinformation is great.

Getting rid of accurately reported, gruesome images because of a government mandate flies in the face of the core principles of free speech. And it would cause real damage to the world.

Remember that it was only when the world actually saw images of the Nazi concentration camps that the world actually believed it. They’d heard about it for years, but it was largely ignored.

Sorry, but the UN’s anti-Israel bias is extremely well documented. They’ve earned my skepticism and yours.

Again, the sources are suspect. The UN has been widely, absurdly anti-Israel to an absolutely comical extent.

According to who?

You have to take these stories with a grain of salt.

Do you remember the Jenin massacre?

Do you remember all the awful things that the Israelis did? It was horrific.

… Except …

It never happened. The Palestinians lied about it.

Israel has never targeted civilians. Palestinians have always targeted civilians.

Hamas uses civilians as meat shields.

When people like you take INTENT out of the equation, your just doing Hamas’s bidding.

At last count, Hamas had something like a 75 percent approval rating in Gaza.

The support among all Palestinians is just over 50 percent.

Only 14 percent support the opposition party.

I feel sorry for these folks. They have no idea what’s about to happen.

This is just the smallest tip of the iceberg.

I’ve been working with gpt-4 since the week it came out, and I guarantee you that even if it never became any more advanced, it could already put at least 30% of the white collar workforce out of business.

The only reason it hasn’t is because companies have barely started to comprehend what it can do.

Within 5 years the entire world will have been revolutionized by this technology. Jobs will evaporate faster than anyone is talking about.

If you’re very smart, and you begin to use gpt-4 to write the tools that will replace you, then you MIGHT have 10 good years left in this economy before humans are all but obsolete.

If you’re not staying up nights, scared shitless by what’s coming, it’s because you don’t really understand what gpt-4 can do.

Okay, and did those 2000 purchases bring you cumulatively more joy than a single $10,000 purchase?

Almost certainly.

Good!

Anti-nuclear is like anti-GMO and anti-vax: pure ignorance, and fear of that which they don’t understand.

Nuclear power is the ONLY form of clean energy that can be scaled up in time to save us from the worst of climate change.

We’ve had the cure for climate change all along, but fear that we’d do another Chernobyl has scared us away from it.

I’m sure there were a huge swath of people who used Twitter and didn’t care at all about Musk one way or the other.

Then he rebranded and threw his ego and control in everyone’s face. And all the people who like Twitter IN SPITE of Elon were now forced to acknowledge that their Twitter is gone.

Just like over at reddit now, the latest move has alienated the people who really cared about the platform itself. If they rebranded to “Spez’s World”, though, a lot of the people who didn’t give a shit before would suddenly be ready to bail.

I pay $22 per month for the family plan because I don’t want my kids or my folks to have to be constantly inundated with ads. And I enjoy being and to play free music that is exactly the songs I want.

I was really upset when they raised the price on me, and kicked me off the grandfather plan. But in the end I decided it was still worth it.

But what the real cost to Google is here is that they have evaporated my loyalty and good will. I now see them as a company that will squeeze me when they know they can get away with it, and that my loyalty and being an early adopter means nothing to them.

That will definitely affect every future buying decision I make for future products and services.
