Love to see this sort of thing! Gives me hope, which I sorely need.

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

four years ago I posted this image of paleontologist Jan Smit looking at rocks and his son-in-law replied with something even better

Very interesting and adept. I hope he does the opposite one, but there is probably much less meat there.

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon

Panel 1: a large robot (composed of AI servers, network switches, storage arrays, and power distribution units) and a human are talking.

Professor "You don't want to destroy humanity do you, lLLM-A-9300x?"

Robot "Haha. What a silly question, Professor. I have no desires or feelings of my own whatsoever."

Professor (relieved)"Oh good." 

Panel 2: they walk on. The robot continues  "I am merely a tool of the company that created me. And that company, being composed of humans, will naturally have humanity's best interests at heart."

Panel 3: The professor is conspicuously quiet.
"Right?" says the Robot.
…
More silence

"Professor?"

I can think of nothing that could go wrong with this situation ...

Vote! Vote for the lesser evil, every time. We'll whittle away at the evil. Maybe we can prosecute some criminals, and chow down in some rich along the way.

@glyph
Yes. I don't get it, and am glad to be out of it. I wish they didn't work as wellXXXX non-poorly as they do. And I do understand the pressure to go along, and to find the least bad way to live with them.

So is it ok to use an immoral tool to compete with a vendor few people like?

An amazingly stark example of how the US economy has broken: Zaslav clears nearly a *billion* dollars amid a CEO tenure where he made basically anything he touched worse, harmed multiple prestigious brands, led huge layoffs—but delivered a corrupt merger for shareholders. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

Please let's get these stupid evil crass grifters out of office ASAP, even if we just replace them with slightly less stupid evil crass grifters. Start a trend toward intelligent good civil workers.

This is important, and speaks the truth. I wish my "AI"-using friends would heed it.
