According to the satanic temple, it’s a religious ritual and constitutionally protected for that very reason. So thank you to these christofascists for, in their own myopic and ludicrously incorrect way, giving that argument some weight, I guess.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. In the South this is still a legitimate safety issue. America is a racist shithole

We do not live in the same reality lol

That’s exactly what this is. It’s violence porn for right-wing psychos.

That was a wild read. Just quit playing the game dude lol it’s not that complicated

The Simpsons reference took me by surprise.

It’s not a video game

… While making $9k a month.

Jesus fucking Christ dude your situation is exceptional because you make a fuck-ton more money than most people, it’s not a difficult reality to accept.

You’re just repeating over and over that you don’t understand what a primary is

There’s literally a whole right-wing movement who picked their name because it rhymes with “Civil War Two.”

But sure, calling attention to the very thing the right has been very loudly advocating for since at least 2008 is “predictive programming.”

That’s the part that’s been sticking with me as well.

That, and a creeping dread that 30% percent of the audience is going to view this film as either a masturbatory fantasy or an instructional video, but I imagine that’s probably Garland’s point.

Holy shit thank you. Reddit on Mobile was such an unusable mess to me that I’ve just been using old.reddit. Absolute game changer.

Still fuck that place, but now I can check in my my favorite old niche communities without getting cancer every time. Cheers!

He couldn’t afford cab fare.

GILA! GILA!

You can't actually think that's a credible defense, come on now

Because that's where the Palestinians are, and this is a genocide.

Lol holy shit

I quite enjoyed "Avogodro Corp" by William Hertling. It's the story of an email predictive text engine that grows into something more than that. Simple story but an interesting thought experiment.

"The Nexus Trilogy" by Ramez Naam is more complex and has a much larger story, but it draws heavily on singularity theory, transhumanism, and posthumanism themes. The first book only touches on AI tangentially, but there's a heavier focus on it later in the series.

"I Have no Mouth and I must Scream" is an extremely dark experimental piece that envisions a malicious AI as a mad god. It's mentioned elsewhere in this thread and is absolutely essential if you're going to be reading or writing about AI, in my opinion. This one is more psychological horror than hard sci Fi, but will stick with you forever.

Pretty sure they think it's just a fancy word for homophobia

I’m an ardent supporter of Israel and their right to defend themselves in these extreme times. This isn’t that.>

Honest question: after this, will you still continue to be? Because they're not done.
