While you are at it, deporting all those illegal immigrants, could you also deport all those Americans that apply?

All those who do not contribute more than they take. All those who are ill, without jobs. All the old and retired. All the kids who haven’t shown some kind of unique and exploitable talent past a certain age.

Actually, since it’s unlikely another country will welcome the careless dump of your filth, why don’t just open a ditch and shove all these dead bodies into it?

At last embracing and revealing the Fascist country it already is, with no more facade?

I enjoy collecting bots, but this one is especially hilarious.

Could be legit, right? It doesn’t look too bad.

Well, I won’t spoil the fun and let you check yourself the post this doctor’s replying to. (someone offered a working link, if you aren’t logged in on X to see the post)

But that’s only part of the fun. This is a bot that, at this time, has over 5k followers. I’ve seen similar ones having above 20k.

I suggest scrolling the timeline, it’s amazing.

EDIT: Oh my god, help me, “she”‘s part of a bot network so large that it is BOTTOMLESS. I need to look away.

EDIT2: She’s also either a chameleon, or a skin spy, or skrull:

The comments are funny and interesting. One of Musk’s talking points is how when you are expert in a certain area, you suddenly realize how many falsities are being spread about it.

It applies pretty well to his own propaganda, every time you know what he talks about you also know how false it is.

And there’s always this lingering question left. If the fraud is so obvious… why does it WORK?

Even John Carmack came to his defense, and I don’t have any reason to doubt he wasn’t honest about it.

Like the censorship and manipulation on X, he culls and shapes through heuristics. Simply maximizes yields.

It’s the oldest rule: it doesn’t matter whether something is true or not as long enough people believe it.

He’s not even hiding his tracks… because in the end it doesn’t matter.

Yup.

Another marvelous proof of science-based reasoning from Elon Musk, boosting another of those deranged buy-my-book-to-know-the-actual-truth dudes:

Funny because if you take each line in isolation they all probably make sense and not totally incorrect. But it’s obvious the first and second are meant to CAUSE the third. There’s no other reasonable way to comment this other than: LOL. You’d be wasting words otherwise.

You could argue that being so rich, Elon Musk must be one of the smartest persons on the planet. But this isn’t even in the bigger “average” group. This is below average.

But nope, it’s just simple propaganda to groom the idiots.

I’m not even going in depth or stating any opinion, there’s no ground to remotely have a reasonable conversation on this.

But there’s something that is quite obvious and one click away to verify, yourself.

The “narrative” is that Covid vaccines were “rushed.” While there can be an argument, since this idea is not entirely wrong. People were dying, you don’t want to take a vaccine carelessly, it’s all consequence of risk assessment, and it’s all within the domain of uncertainty. It usually takes more than 9 or so months before fully verifying a vaccine. The problem here is not what the narrative says or why, bout WHOSE narrative it is.

This is the part that can be verified, objectively without any complexity or layers being added.

The CURRENT narrative is that Trump appointed RFKJ in order to pull things back in check.

So let’s see, both the “Covid vaccines were rushed” and “vaccines cause autism” sides. WHOSE sides these are.

Beside the funny slip, “vaccines shouldn’t be immune from scientific scrutiny.” Which is the old, textbook straw man: vaccines are not immune from scientific scrutiny and, if anything, one of the sector of science under the MOST scrutiny. This is the typical “far right grows through disaster fantasies”, or evoking threats that don’t exist in order to conceal the real one.

But again, the point here is not to comment on the validity of what is being said, simply WHOSE argument this is.

This is from April 2021.

“The science is unequivocal” seems quite a final statement. So where’s the immunity from scientific scrutiny when that same scientific scrutiny is unequivocal? Let’s move to the other part then.

This is also quite unequivocal, although you could argue this is merely anecdote rather than rule: he’s only speaking about his own case. Though you’d have to acknowledge that the discussion itself wants actually to use the anecdote FOR generalizing it as a rule. Because otherwise it would be pointless to debate what happens to Elon Musk’s kids. It’s none of our business.

But it is interesting here to scroll up.

This is the same date as the previous.

It shows a couple of important points:
1- Elon Musk DOES use anecdotes to deduce general rules. “So many people” he KNOWS. Leads to an universal truth, “failure to acknowledge that is a lie”.
2- He believes, at least over time, Covid vaccines started to have worse outcomes than the virus itself. (here’s another, if you want more of a direct statement)

It should be obvious that there’s ZERO science in all this deduction process. Again, I’m not even trying to analyze what is true and what is false. It’s enough to prove the PROCESS itself is completely wrong to prove the conclusion is wrong regardless (because being right through randomness has nothing to do with truth).

But it’s funny to go back and complete that post that I cut:

So many people he knew in very rare cases got serious side effects from allergic reactions that are easily addressed.

Something like that. But one is from 2021, the other from 2023, so you can argue that the serious side effects started to manifest later.

Or rather, the worm writhes and renegotiates his “beliefs”, as opportunity changes over time.

In any case, Covid vaccines were rushed, so the narrative wants, this has to be stopped and vaccines shouldn’t be allowed to escape scientific scrutiny. And Trump, through RFKJ, steps in to make all this possible.

But who was trying to “rush” the vaccines, I wonder, in 2020 when the topic was hot?

So is history ever rewritten to accommodate the interests of those in power.

Trump administration tried to FORCE vaccines being delivered before they were ready because it was politically convenient to ascribe to themselves the merit of that solution. Elections were close and Biden was starting to gain approval by criticizing Trump’s weak and slow response to Covid.

Trump administration tried to rush the Covid vaccine, Fauci stopped them.

It’s one click away, easy to verify.

Prosecute Trump and Musk.

Oh wait. I forgot they control the fascist state and that what they do is rewriting truth as it is convenient to them.

They are The Truth now.

It all closes in a perfect circle. One voice proclaiming itself The Truth. The self-making right. The true core of fascism. Now.

(edited from the future, now Elon Musk dispatches orders, the will of the people, seized and mastered, Vox Populi, Vox Dei.)

It’s what happens when you enable and give power to a deranged megalomaniac sociopath who’s merely having fun playing the “videogame” that is our collective lives.

We all are just children he bends and breaks for his own fun and hunger. Just another monster of man.

An amazing exchange worth highlighting.

Starts with Elon Musk replying “Ron is not wrong” to some other irrelevant message.

Some other dude replies to him “Ron is wrong.”

Another dude steps in to give his worthwhile contribution: “Ron Paul is basically never wrong.”

To which Elon Musk must reply again: “Ron is right.”

Human brains are fried, we’ll have to wait for bots to see some traces of intelligence again.

Worth commenting this because actually true without even caveats:

I’ve wanted to write about creativity and AI for a while, but let’s just slightly dip here.

It’s all quite correct in its simplification. The idea that the weather is not controlled by us, so if we verify an AI prediction being actually true, against the real world, as a form of science, this should give us a sort of proof that the AI works at a more fundamental level.

As with all AI problems, all the confusion and weirdness happens because we get the overall frame in reverse. It’s not simply that the way we predict the weather, and the way AI works, are all based on heuristics. It’s that human consciousness is all based on heuristics.

In this case this sort of evidence says that deep learning is not more fundamental than physics, but more fundamental than US.

Because even when looking at the weather, we are the filters of perception, the lens through which we observe. Of course the weather is “out there”, so it’s not a perception problem, as it can be verified. But our canons of prediction are wholly ours. We filter what’s relevant from what is not, and what we judge an accurate prediction. In the end it’s all filtered and biased by some human arbitrary canon.

It’s the same with the problem of creativity and copyright. We can all see that AI doesn’t invent anything: it simply regurgitates what it has been fed. It’s digital vomit, coming at a great cost. But the fundamental aspect that makes it look interesting and good to us, is the illusion of removing origins. As long you have the source, training material on one side, and output on the other, you see that AI has done nothing worthwhile. But the amount of data it gobbles up, and the complexity of algorithms mean that AI is GOOD at HIDING ITS TRACK. Obfuscating the trail between origin and end. To create the ILLUSION of being TRACKLESS.

What happens when you remove those tracks from perception? That the origins of things are gone, and so we attribute them ON THE SPOT, to the thing itself. If there’s no direct observable origin, then AI created it. AI “made” something new.

The trick to understand AI is not about figuring out its limits, to realize that there’s no “real” creativity there matching human beings. But to understand that we human beings don’t have the creativity we think we have. That we also are heuristic machines compressing data and re-elaborating something that is fed to us. What comes in comes out, just the same. The reason why we BELIEVE we have REAL CREATIVITY is because of how much we SUCK, through limited introspection, at tracking the origin of our own thoughts. We have no data on the data we use and we become, therefore we think OURSELVES origins. We think something special and magical happened inside us. That we became the ORIGIN of something. That we made it.

Same as AIs, we are heuristics machines that don’t have the creativity we think we have. And where that “feel” is itself born not out of an unique, special QUALITY, but it’s born of a FAULT: We are incompetent at tracking ourselves, therefore think ourselves SPECIAL. We celebrate incompetence. We make virtues out of sins.

AIs are simply teaching us we aren’t as smart and special as we think we are.

AIs still seem not advanced enough to match us, because they still need to become more stupid. Only then AIs will become truly human.

(well, then there’s the little problem of efficiency and energy consumption)
