Naomi Klein's response to Sam Altman's description of AI is perfection!

A post from @think_and_exist
Sam Altman is on the left of the post with his description of AI below him. On the right is a picture of Naomi Klein with her response to Sam.
Sam: We are introducing advanced, responsibly deployed artificial intelligence to completely liberate humanity from menial labor, unleashing an era of unparalleded human creativity and abundance.

Naomi: You are running a massive, high-tech plagiarism cartel. You aggressively steal the collective intellectual work of humanity without consent, strictly to fire the working class and funnel the stolen wealth directly to your Silicon Valley masters.

This is brilliant!

Campaign bus for Danielle Smith. An unsmiling picture of Smith, from the shoulders up looking like she is glaring at someone, at the front of the bus. Border at the top and bottom of the bus is FASCIST, then picture of red maple leaf, repeated. In huge letters to the right of Smith: FASCIST Danielle Smith. Beside that is the Provincial Shield. The tires on the bus look like cooked pancakes with a pat of butter in the middle.

W-A-A-A-A-A-Y-Y-Y-Y Overdue! Mountain of Money by Paul Krafft 1907

Caroon from 1907. There's a huge pile of money being filled at the top from these hoppers - oil, life insurance, copper and lead, railroad, gas & electricity, iron and coal. A man in a suit, with his hand in his pocket is directing workers to fill buckets with the money, with one worker hauling a basket to fill another money container. Below the cartoon:
Mountain of Money - It is time to call a halt when the income of one man is so great that he could not handle it himself in cold cash, while the income of his workers is not enough to keep them decently alive.

Millionaires in the past created things for the public, partly altruistic, partly for tax breaks - Carnegie, Rockefeller etc. Today's billionaires pay so little taxes there's no incentive for them to help the public. They're greedy bastards, hoarding their $. Mountain of Money by Paul Krafft 1907

Absolutely! She doesn't care about facts, just sounding good!

Someone is holding a button that has Danielle Smith's face in the centre, with her face looking like a cross between Marie Antoinette and Ronald McDonald, in very white makeup and red nose and cheeks. Her hair is white pompadour style. Around the outside of the button it says: Let Them Eat Pancakes

Ha! Ha! Ha! More women might get raped with Hegseth's testosterone ploy and Jesse Watters thinks that's hilarious! Of course Watter's always been a despicable POS, but this is low, even for him.

A post by spencerhakimian.
There's a picture of Jesse Watters on Fox News with the chyron below him: No Low-T in Military! Hegseth to test testosterone levels of troops.
Spencer quotes Watters
Jesse Watters:
"Women on base, you better be careful. Port calls, women in Asia, you better be careful. Because these guys are going to be wild animals and you better watch out."

There's a picture of Bertand Russell and to the side of it are these words:
When asked how Fascism starts, Bertand Russell once said:
"First, they fascinate the fools. Then, they muzzle the intelligent."

There's a picture of Messi on the soccer field, walking forward with his eyes closed and his hands together as if he's praying. Below the picture is a post from RobNelson: I'm afraid of tripping on the street and FIFA awarding a penalty to Messi.

Picture:
A group of 5 cowboys are on their horses behind a toll booth that says:
Pres. Trump Thruway Toll 10cents beside are a red button and a black button. Underneath the button it says: Exact Change Lane
One of the cowboys has turned to look back at the other cowboys and says: Somebody's gotta go back and get a shitload of dimes

Post and reply.
Post from gvhitchman:
My 18-year-old coworker: “You write in cursive?”
Me: “Yes, my formal education began in the late nineteen-hundreds.”

Reply from this one overhere:
As a lad, I was tutored in penmanship, analogue calculations, and we danced the square and studied the parachute arts in gymnasium. And aye, we did stop, drop, and even roll in my day, and on phonics we relied for so much. They were hard days, but good. And we learned wild and free. And if the gods would see fit, we might even be allowed a scholastic book faire to celebrate another season’s passing

@deadder.bsky.social Nails it again!

A cartoon drawing of FIFA president Gianni Infantino, drinking a glass of orange drink, holding on to a Koolaid pitcher filled with orange liquid, with the Koolaid smiling face on the picture. Above Infantino's head are the words: HYDRATION BREAK. The Koolaid pitcher is sitting on a podium with these words on it. TRUMP KooL-Aid

Smith cut assigned AISH workers and now there's a pool of people to answer the phone, who don't have the expertise to answer questions. UCP ignore the experts who've assessed people to be on AISH. Disabled people are now supposed to find jobs in a market where skilled people are having difficulty!

A meme of Danielle Smith waving a whip while she is on the back of a racing dog sleigh in the winter. Instead of dogs, there are three rows of three people in their winter clothes in their wheelchairs and there is another disabled person in the sleigh. Smith is saying: "Back to work slackers!"

If anyone is worried about a crazy person in charge of nuclear weapons, it's clear who we should be worried about, and it's not Iran. You can see the whole clip at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tNh...
