I still can’t look you people (Americans) in the face from the last dozen horrible things you’ve collectively done.

How can you ever let your guard down around this maniac society, let alone go back to normal?

Living in the interior of the stolen lands, what normal do you even think there is to offer? Endless towns build on nothing but walmarts and jails, having displaced any culture of value generations ago.

challenging my nationalism? that’s like one of the isms i’m most sensitive about

next you’ll tell me that if i don’t love amerikkka, i can leave?

Sorry bud I don’t get paid to do your research for you. If only there were people whose job that were.

Oh interesting, your views inconveniently disagree with my experienced reality, which relates to numbers I can immediately look up because I have worked in that industry. I’m sorry about your views for you. A supermajority of teaching at American Higher Ed Institutions is done by people who get paid a couple hundred bucks per course hour, and teaching a 4:3 course-load under those conditions will not yield the numbers you are vaguely gesturing towards.

Go ahead, pick a school and look up their adjunct job offers.

i told him directly “Nobody is talking about whatever ivory tower caste system you are talking about” and he didn’t listen

edit, clarity: it isn’t normal to be British

Sorry we’ve got a vocabulist here hold on let me talk him down

Nobody is talking about whatever ivory tower caste system you are talking about, to normals “professor” is common parlance for “college teacher” and many campuses around the country still call adjunct “”“”“”““instructors””“”“”“”" adjunct professors

i hope this fulfills the terms of your devil riddle

as someone who bats for the other team, the combination of your faction’s hegemonic ubiquity and your more limited conceptions of heroism makes it really easy to read your literature from our perspective in order to gain spiritual insight and inspiration

for example Milton’s Lucifer in Paradise Lost taught me great lessons on what it means to stand up again when all seems lost

“Awake, arise or be forever fallen” ✊ 👆 👇

Anyway I hope this was helpful

The way I see it, you’re allowed to be wrong

No clue what you’re talking about at this point. I am talking about real tech that is currently deployed in middle America. I am not talking about pretend or fiction or MI-6 or whatever. Please.

This is pretend.

Thanks for the actual input, people who haven’t worked around this kind of hardware are mostly limited to goofing around like it’s sci-fi when it’s mostly John Deere style nonsense

There aren’t short-range EMP burst emitters, that’s sci-fi pretend. These are real robot flashlight caddies they deploy at outdoor malls in Ohio.

Have you seen a teardown or something like that anywhere?

That’s crazy that I nailed it in 1 try

Yeah I got people in Cleveland but they don’t like AEW because they are wrong about which things are good

spread + AEW sounds like a great time OP I think its possible that your friends are not pro-level friends but maybe something else is amiss?

• live in ohio
• not good at video games
• only know 4 girls, all have same name
• the guys were all white dudes with beard + glasses, couldn’t tell each other apart
• invited mean guy

if not one of those try getting pro friends

You should just stop spending money in general if you can. So many responses are like “buy literal garbage like disposable decorations at the dollar store,” do not do that. Stop spending money on garbage. Every dollar you spend is damage to the environment and more power for the wealthy, just stop it. Stop spending.
Don’t buy entertainment, use archive dot org. Read more. When you like something culture you consumed, give it to somebody else so they don’t try to buy it. Pass entertainment around to your friends.
When you have to spend on things like haircuts, repairs, etc, keep the money in your social network. If you don’t cook, learn. If you aren’t a part of your local grocery distro, join it.

Avoid giving corpos money whenever you can and you’ll save lots of money.

The reason your someone might have thought this was a stupid question is because

• there is no evidence that AGI is imminent or even possible
• current tech labeled as AI is really limited in very boring ways, like LLMs

If some thing gets sold as an AGI, it will be a Mechanical Turk, As in, it will be a magic trick that actually uses human laborers like Amazon’s “AI Store” where you just walk out with your purchases. “If it works, it’s mechanical turks.”
