    Has anybody seen a real nervous breakdown? Because I’ve just watched that boring AI tech-nazi vomit his bullshit for 20 minutes waiting for it, and it never came. I demand a refund.

      Yeah it’s super-annoying when they do clickbait headlines that exaggerate some asshole’s behaviour. It’s a huge let down and then it’s a weird feeling like “it wasn’t actually that bad” mixed with “but oh yeah, fuck that guy for other reasons”.

      His talking points aren’t even really interesting. AI is overhyped, companies don’t like to lose IP and data to AI companies, etc.

      I wish he would have a nervous breakdown and crack in two mentally so he’d get the padded cell he needs.

    I don’t think y’all have ever seen a nervous breakdown. This is more like an ADHD kid talking about something he’s interested in.

          Isn’t there a song I’m vaguely recalling from Sunday school about that? “Red and yellow, black, and off-white, all are zeroed in his sights. Drop expensive bombs on all the little children in the world.” Did I remember that correctly?

      I think the discussion he had when he thought he wasn’t live was enough for me to think he was losing it. Where he’s like acting like cnbc is different from the other girls. He was embarrassed there and talking himself into circles. A guy like that probably feels a really bad way right now like rage when he looks at the internet kinda bad.

        Just their eyes, noses, tongues, hands, and feet. Let them keep their ears so they can hear the disgust and disdain that people have for them when they’re reduced to begging in the same streets where they paved over the hopes and dreams of the poor.

          Wizard Pope didn’t specify which head. The rope and the pruning shears are not mutually exclusive.

      They need to lose their fingernails, one by one, then eyelids, then tongue, then ears, then nose, then eyes.

      They’re ghouls on the inside, this is just … soul-type affirming care, or something like that.

        Of course the Borg are the good guys, improving their society through technology they’ve collected from societies all over the galaxy. Everyone should happily assimilate, and be happy drones.

        Not the Sociopathic Oligarchs, though, they’re too important to be drones.
