No, and lots of them got lucky.

Sorry but thats action i couornt possibly want for any reason, so just action for actions sake. Thats fascist. Youre asking for fascism.

obstruct them!

Oh, so do exactly what they've been doing for the past few decades? And, again; action for actions sake! You just cant not be fascist, can you?

actually free tacos are empty aesthetics that wear the mask of opposition while deftly avoiding any real criticism of their opponent's behavior, which they wish to emulate at the nearest opportunity. How the fuck is that not fascist? What the fuck is wrong with you?

But what if they just really wanted tacos? I feel like most people want tacos most of the time, and that's a pretty good reason to order tacos. So its not fascist because i wanted to do it.

Ive met more than i would like to. Most of them when i was a child. I met other convicted pedos, knew em pretty well.

I dont know that i could identify them now as an old lady, but looking back, apmost every single one had pedo vibes; at least a few asked openly.

None of the names i recognize have ever been prosecuted. Because theyre rich.

Like i said: he got lucky. Back in the 90s. So it went from a few million to a few hundred million/few billion.

rational

It literally cannot do that

Decisions

In the dame way a fist full of dice can make decisions; sure.

facts

If its programmed to run a script to do a google search and cite the first paragraph of wikipedia; sure. That function is basically eliza with an api call.

knowledge

Okay, sketch on what this actually means, but every answer i can think of, none of which im strongly committed to: still no.

Its a bullshit machine. Like recognizes like, but it can't do anything else. If you think its intelligent, that's because you are not.

Edit: And im really disappointed. I kind of always wanted a computer friend. I would adore the opportunity to midwife whole new forms of intelligence. That sounds really fucking cool. It's the kind of thing i dreamed of as a kid, and this shit being sold as my childhood aspirations is blackpilling as fuck. I think the widespread acceptance of the bullshit sales pitch, and fact it means we're less likely to get the real thing, has lead me to a lot of much more anti-human opinions than i used to have.

I think the fundanebtal problem is what a leader is.

I heard/read something about how to set up crews/packs/whatevertheyrecalled for competitive dog sledding. You don't put the fastest or strongest dog in front. You put a curious adventurous dog in front.

So a 'leader' in this case, and i think what we need, isnt bosses or managers, but closer to explorers and scouts, people with initiative courage and creativity to try shit and be examples/report back. Solve disputes with evidence and forging known paths-that can still be disregarded or altered by those farther back.

And i think most of us can do that in at least one direction.

Not that we dont need coordinators or administrators at scale, but we dont have to pair those roles with authority/command. We can unbundle shit, cut out the rot/waste, and recombine it in new ways. Ask your radical queer friends about the concept!

Maybe, for example, administrative tasks pair better with caring tasks or research/social science tasks than authority ever allowed.

No, it doesnt. There is no interiority, no context, no meaning, no awareness, no continuity, such a long list of things intelligence does that this simply cqnt-not because its too small, but because the fundamental method cannot, at any scale, do these things.

There are a lot of definitions of intelligence, and these things dont fit any of them.

And (the probably mostly retired) roger stone; yes.

I dont pay much attention to that, my personal experience suggests it very strongly.

uncommon

I fucking wish. It's an epidemic. Especially in positions of authority and wealth. Not sure what that correlation implies, but it exists.

No, dude, its already done. Your bank account is their bank account.

Trump might not understand, but miller bannon etc do, and they're the ones actually acting here.

Why steal shit they already own?

Yeah, it's impossible to move stuff without cars.
