Shitposting and trolling is the best use of anything online. It's the entire point of the Internet. And if it helps kill off big Hollywood all the better.
Trolling has put out more high quality entertainment than the last couple decades of Hollywood bullshit. Trolling celebrities is quite funny. Especially if it's Leslie Jones.
 
Ryan Coen (Gamestop faggot) is selling his shit on Ebay to pay for Gamestop's offer to buy Ebay. One of the items is a Trump trading card from Topps @ $5200

The date isn't even right, the sign in was 2017, the election was 16. Doesn't feel like nine years but I didn't know there were cards of the signing in and I'm now wondering if there's one of the few frames where him and obama are hugging.

Think the big push for AI is coming less from liberals and more from Silicon Valley. Some think genuinely think it's a way to reshape society as we know it but a lot of individuals seem to be supporting it as long as the somewhat easily acquired venture capital money is coming in.
SV works in cycles. Before AI, it was crypto. Before crypto, it was apps for real world things (Uber, Doordash). Before them it was IOT (smart appliances). Before that it was Big Data. Before that...
 
In American crime news:
The man who tried CARJACKING a car in Texas with a family inside who was shot dead by the dad, is an ILLEGAL from Mexico, per FOX

1.mp4

Excerpts from the FOX article on the subject:
Of course this other faggot hispanic is yelling "DON'T DO IT, NO MORE", shut the fuck up jorge or you're FUCKING NEXT.
:stickup:
:semperfidelis: some niggers are okay sometimes.
 
Nah, plenty of people in this thread have said that.

It's hilarious how you guys deny all this shit but then as soon as someone comes in here and disagrees with literally anything that Dear Leader does, even shit like the war in Iran, you guys get sent into a frothing tardrage. If you're gonna pretend to not worship a 79 year old obese man with dementia at least stop making it so obvious that you are lying
you missed “shits and pisses his pants”.

Thing is they all settle down to the good and profitable. AI isn't going to 'crash' into nothing. It'll level out into similar to those. IOT and ERP like SAP are still 'profitable' in general but nothing is the final huge endless world changing endless money machine. Crypto is pretty close to being a useless thing. The worst of all the tech fads by far has been NFTs which completely imploded to nothing and rightfully so.

When it comes down to it, most things beyond basic needs have rises and falls. AI will be very useful but it's not going to be the end of the world for most. It'll end a lot of things that need to be ended like online 'journalists'. It will likely reduce a lot of things in the tech world like CGI for movies and game dev. But there will be new markets where people aren't just 'prompt queens' but also have skills that take advantage of it to make productive things.

TL:DR Luddites aren't a new thing and hate any kind of change.

I still hold the NFTs had potential, such as for tradeable game licenses. It would've worked a lot like the Nintendo Switch virtual game card system (except transfers would not expire and return the card to the original buyer). But they flubbed it with the stupid bored apes.

Saw such stuff nearly forty years ago, when serving as an acquisition manager for large-scale computer-based training systems. Instructors were concerned about losing their jobs, found the systems let them get more out of each hour of training. VR..same thing, was checking out a VR headset at MITRE Corporation in the late 80s.

Every advance is just another tool in the toolbox. The real challenge is to make effective AND efficient use of the appropriate tools to get the job done.
 
Update on the Hantavirus:
The probability of lockdowns rapidly approaches 1.
 
Stephen Miller tweeted about some illegal attacking people and calls out CATO:

CATO's Chief Immigration Shill tried to smugpost about this:

Chuds pointed out that excluding blacks, immigrants commit far more crime than native Americans:

In response, the Catotard posts a graph that DEBUNKS HIS OWN POINT:

GroupIncarceration Rate
Native-born Whites720 per 100k
Native-born Asians321 per 100k
Illegal Hispanics957 per 100k
Hispanics including anchor babies1,050 per 100k

Looks like excluding blacks, immigrants are incarcerated far more than Americans; i.e. the exact opposite what the CATO guy said.

Since it's Seattle, the chances of the violent immigrants in Miller's story being convicted and sentenced to prison are near zero, so they're invisible to crime stats. Even if they somehow were counted, blue states don't record the immigration status of criminals, so they still wouldn't show up in the graph. The "White" rate is also likely lower than shown (probably similar to the Asian rate) because police departments love to classify nonwhite criminals as White. Most immigrants, legal and illegal, live in ethnic enclaves where they're unlikely to be prosecuted unless they commit a serious violent crime. Many immigrant communities commit massive amounts of domestic violence, rape, child molestation, fraud, and more that aren't reported because those things aren't crimes in their culture. Also, most criminals are repeat offenders and since noncitizens are deported after they serve their sentence and someone who isn't in the country can't commit a crime here, they'll appear to have a lower incarceration rate despite committing crimes at a far higher rate.

Yeah. As an ownership of something physical it might've been. Like titles and mortgages. Have it on a blockchain instead of physical paper or whatever. The only thing an NFT is good for is a digital receipt. That could have some value, but they tarded over making it into just pics and crap. A license could've worked, but I don't see that much advantage there really. But in general maybe there's room for that kind of thing as proof of ownership. For the most part just a stand alone digital signature would be good enough in most cases. But I suppose that's all NFT and blockchains are, just a trail of digital hashes.

The thing is there's not going to be a real 'trading market' for physical object ownership which is what the NFT bros wanted. To increase value of something and rugpull it and leave the last guy holding the bag, which is what happened. A practical NFT system won't have much techbro value for the day trading model they wanted.
