People will be training AI on their ex's face to show how unhinged they are. Anyone could make pictures for divorce or custody battles that depict the other party like this.

And if they dismiss it as AI that's a whole other problem. Actual pictures will mean nothing.

That's a perspective I overlooked! Have you considered writing for The Economist?

Also, lysenkoism is bullshit

🙄 Why are we federated with lemmy.one again?

I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!

Ted started off as a smart guy, but the MKULTRA abuse he experienced left him with a broken ideology.

Many parts of his manifesto are problematic, and I hope people don't think it's good theory.

Some excerpts:

The leftist is antagonistic to the concept of competition because, deep inside, he feels like a loser.

The leftist seeks to satisfy his feeling of inferiority by cultivating attitudes of superiority. He is not the only one to do this, but he is the one who goes furthest in this direction.

Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of being strong, good, and successful.

The leftist is not typically the kind of person whose feelings of inferiority make him a braggart, an egotist, a bully, a self-promoter, a ruthless competitor. This kind of person is too eager to seize the initiative and too insensitive to feel guilty for his aggression. The leftist is as prone to manipulating others as the more right-wing person, but his main goal is to avoid straining his own conscience.

Ted also has some jabs at reactionaries, but he's not a leftist for sure. There's better literature out there, from an actual leftist perspective that people could be reading instead.

Don't blame me, I voted for the PSL.

The ACA was the catalyst to many people seeing their hours cut, and those that did get healthcare were often stuck with HMOs that hired doctors directly instead of letting people find independent providers.

The ACA was designed so that people would get a warped idea of what public healthcare was, and ask for a repeal. The whole thing was an OP.

Implementing actual universal healthcare, like every other developed nation, was the right answer. Now that is harder than ever because most people aren't policy experts and this has made it harder to explain what good healthcare actually is.
