ask grok about the epstein files. ask gemini about the epstein files. ask them about obama's legacy as a war criminal and the reclassification of civilians as combatants to make drone striking weddings more palatable

unbelievable chauvinism in here

do you think that China is some place devoid of business? it's the center of global commerce now. you're gravely mistaken if you think that Chinese models have "Chinese political ideology" baked into them

Grok literally had post work done to make it more right wing and racist.

sheer lunacy

I run my AI headless in a docker container and give it access to git – it can only contribute code - when it needs a secret I put it in a docker container in vault. when it needs infra, it makes me a jira ticket. that's my workflow.

which is a result of the United States and other western forces (Israel) weaponizing AI to create propaganda

we programmatically created a system with implicit trust and now that trust is washing away. business logic should probably be guaranteed and have to pass a series of tests in order to provide expected service

I think you're right to have been uneasy at the title because it's so capitalist in the framing. "Win" friends sounds capitalist, while "influence people" sounds a lot like the vapid propaganda networks we interact with every day

cheers. I think you're doing a good job and ruffling some feathers here! Your content has been great.

I highly recommend reading Marx. Your content has related Marxist topics like the 'Fetishism of Commodities' (Software as Witchcraft) and the Labor Theory of Value.

Throwing in "a trail of tears" at the end is pretty ridiculous. It's just hardware.

All of the largest instituted famines were literally perpetrated by Fascist Capitalist societies... I think it's interesting how much agitprop westerners swallow and think it's sugar.

Turning into? It already is. I wish I had a hedge fund to direct towards shorting AI-driven companies.
