Independence would have been the best possible outcome, although I agree it was unlikely at best.

I remember posting about how giving HK back to China would inevitably lead to this outcome.

That was in the early 2000’s. So incredibly sad to see it happen exactly as predicted.

This reads like the beginning of a long questchain in Cyberpunk 2077.

“To Pa, who taught me to appreciate a good titty”.

Lovecraft deserves some redemption. First of all he wasn’t especially racist, just the “normal” amount for his time (take with a grain of salt please!). More importantly he significantly mellowed out in his later years primarily due to exposure to talented black writers which made him realize the error of his ways.

But yeah, I wouldn’t ask him to name my void cat.

Must be an extremely confusing time for anyone in national security. How to protect the country you swore to defend from the… people who lead and employ you?

Time to pay in refineries, I guess. Hit 'em where it hurts. A gas station without a pump is useless.

“How many double taps did you score on prone toddlers?”

Not yet.

Historically though extermination comes a while after mass incarceration. Much harder to do the latter when the public is aware of the former. It’s unfortunately inevitable at this rate though.

Epstein famously flew them to his Island on his Lolita express. There was no law enforcement there as it was all private. That’s one way to flaunt international laws.

Turns out, people have long memories when it comes to having their loved ones slaughtered.

Pretty sure they sniffed out anyone capable of that and sacked them in the purges. Hell, that was the reason for the purges.

I am convinced I’ll be one of them (genetic predisposition). I’m gonna get killed by my own ass. Which in a certain way is incredibly on point for me, but I digress.

Not fetch but he does have a favorite plushie toy that he takes with him wherever he goes. So adorable.

Just 1/3rd. But the other 1/3rd stood by and watched it happen, which is almost just as bad.

Wanna bet Trump is going to use the non-joining of allied nations as a pretext for turning on them even more? “These countries can’t be taken seriously, as they refused to join the board of peace, which means they are fundamentally against peace”.

I can never get over those submarines. What a laughingstock.

First, its results are often simply wrong, so that’s no good. Second, the more people use the AI summaries, the easier it’ll be for the AI companies to subtly influence the results in their advantage. Think of advertising or propaganda.

This is already happening btw, and the reason Musk created Grokipedia. Grok (and even other llm’s!) already use it as a “trusted source”, which it is anything but.

You can set up any AI assistant that way with custom instructions. I always do, and I require it to clearly separate facts with sources from hearsay or opinion.
