It’s not like it was a hostile take over. They played their part when Musk talked shit and they sued him to follow through with the purchase. They could have easily kept it, but they wanted the money instead.

I hope a significant number of them get new jobs and quiet quit to get that double paycheck for as long as they can.
For all of the doom and gloom of that view of the big picture, I do see a lot of beauty and good in the little things. That’s where I like to focus most of my energy.
It’s not like everybody woke up one day and “ah shit, everything’s fucked! How the hell did that happen. This is unprecedented!” The scale and tools might be new, but that’s about it.
The problem is that “continue on as normal” basically means to continually get progressively worse. Greed and oppression will increase. Division and bigotry will keep growing. Science and logic will be ignored or manipulated by those seeking power. This will ultimately culminate in some sort of horrifically deadly breaking point. Then we reset a little bit and start the cycle all over again and again until the humans go extinct.

Have they solved the racial bias issues that has plagued facial recognition systems?
You aren’t necessarily wrong. Have you ever seen Friends without a laugh track?
City of Heroes (20 year old game). As an NPC, I would be screwed, as a player character, it would be pretty sweet at for the first few days before the lack meaningful interactions and the constant “work” started to get to me.
Women are not good for the update.
I think my phone just let slip that might be what save us from the AI uprising.
“… guys like me who have been debanked,” Donald Trump Jr. said
I had to look up “debanked”. Admitting to it has to be the financial equivalent of telling people you are a registered sex offender.
I’ve got a 20 year old Gmail account that I use when I need to sign up for something.

Remember when she wore a jacket with the words “I really don’t care. Do U?” when visiting a migrant child detention facility in Texas?
