  • An autopsy later confirmed that Laniado died from cardiac hypertrophy, a condition involving an enlarged heart.

    A search of his hotel room revealed he had been taking multiple substances banned in France, along with vasodilators commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction. According to judicial sources, these substances are believed to have contributed to his death.

    Ah, so it had nothing to do with the procedure, dude was on a cocktail of his own drugs, didn’t tell the doctor, had a heart attack.

    So, if it was anyones fault, it was the pathetic billionaires fault. Also anyone who gets rich from diamonds is always, 100%, a scumbag.



  • So, they made it a “suggestion” to not contaminate the environment, got rid of a bunch of security requirements (Who needs security at a plant powering our cities anyway??), AND are upping the amount of radiation exposure someone can have before they seek treatment.

    So, basically a bunch of evil shit. huh, whuda’thunk the same people that saw the increased incidence of new cancers with all the PFAS in our water and food, and decided to roll back regulations on it while introducing a brand-new PFAS laden pesticide for all our crops! Wonderful! We’ll all get cancer and die early deaths because of them!

    They’re making literally everything worse, murdering us in the street, arresting dissidents, covering up their crimes, and stealing billions while they do it.




  • Their worldview quite literally stems from the idea that there should be Out-Groups whom the law binds but does not protect, and In-Groups whom the law protects but does not bind.

    That’s how they square their “don’t tread on me” attitude with their want of big government. They recognize that in order to properly humiliate and subjugate “the others,” they need a big state militarized police force and constant surveillance, but if they were ever themselves to fall victim to it, then they cry foul. They can’t learn the lesson until they’re caught up in it, and usually instead of updating their opinion and voting like it, they simply drop out of the democratic process all together, saying that “both parties are the same.”

    They are the uneducated simpletons that the founding fathers feared, which is why they originally wanted only educated people to vote. I’m, uh, starting to come around to the idea myself.




  • oh awesome, Palantir, the same company profiting off the genocide in Gaza

    CEO Alex Karp has been a vocal supporter of Israel. In November 2023, he stated, “I am proud that we are supporting Israel in every way we can.”

    After October 2023, Palantir has provided Israel with multiple AI-powered data analytics tools for military and intelligence purposes.

    In January 2024, Palantir held its board meeting in Israel and entered into a “strategic partnership” with Israel’s Ministry of Defense to help Israel’s “war effort.”

    In October 2024, Norway’s largest asset manager, Storebrand, divested its Palantir shares, worth $24 million, due to concerns that Palantir’s work for Israel might implicate Storebrand in violations of international humanitarian law and human rights.





  • but that’s the problem. Ai people are pushing it as a universal tool. The huge push we saw to have ai in everything is kind of proof of that.

    People taking the response from LLMs at face value is a problem

    So we can’t trust it, but in addition to that, we also can’t trust people on TV, or people writing articles for official sounding websites, or the white house, or pretty much anything anymore. and that’s the real problem. We’ve cultivated an environment where facts and realities are twisted to fit a narrative, and then demanded that we give equal air time and consideration to literal false information being peddled by hucksters. These LLMs probably wouldn’t be so bad if we didn’t feed them the same derivative and nonsensical BS we consume on a daily basis. but at this point we’ve just introduced and are now relying on a flawed tool that’s basing it’s knowledge on flawed information and it just creates a positive feedback loop of bullshit. People are using ai to write BS articles that are then referenced by ai. It won’t ever get better, it will only get worse.



  • I don’t think using an inaccurate tool gives you extra insight into anything. If I asked you to measure the size of objects around your house, and gave you a tape measure that was not correctly metered, would that make you better at measuring things? We learn by asking questions and getting answers. If the answers given are wrong, then you haven’t learned anything. It, in fact, makes you dumber.

    People who rely on ai are dumber, because using the tool makes them dumber. QED?
