Rolling back preventative medicine

What these morons do not understand is that being 'rich' and 'righteous' does not protect you from disease. Even their campaign to killl off the weak and those whose sexuality they do not agree with will do them no good in the long term. I veer between madness, stupidity and malevolence as possible explanations.

The Guardian · This doctor calls LGBTQ+ rights ‘satanic’. He could now undo healthcare for millionsBy Sam Levin

"AI" is not intelligent. Nor is it conscient.

There is no "it" behind LLMs. Only rich people who want you to unlearn all your skills, by relying more and more on their LLMs. And once you've unlearned all your skills and once you're so utterly dependent on LLMs because you're so helpless without them and once you no longer know how to do *anything* without consulting a LLM, these rich people will crank up the subscription prices and become even richer. Because in rent-seeking capitalism, of course everything is a subscription.

Companies like OpenAI keep telling you that AI is real and will soon™ become sentient and destroy the world. And for that reason, OpenAI and its likes are actually public benefit companies, at least according to their own arguments, because they—the good people, the Sam Altmans of the world—work on making AI safe, and are thus the saviors of the world!!! Messiah-complex much?

And because these companies now positioned themselves as public benefit companies, they get massive funding. It's all just a giant grift, designed to make rich bastards even richer. And people who spend way too much time on LinkedIn fall for it, in masses.

It's time to wake up! You've been utterly fooled if you didn't know any of this. But it's not too late. Do the programming yourself again instead of vibe-coding some shit you don't understand. Unless you *want* to pay ever-increasing subscription fees to the Sam Altmans of the world, like a serf, milking you until the day you die.

"We've got a great show! Before that..." promises Paul Jordan.

It's a Liverpool double bill, he presents with The Queen of England Janice Long.

Madness kick off tonight, "Uncle Sam" is in the studio.

There comes a point where the zany performance becomes forced and not credible, and I fear this is the tipping point.

Continued thread

The 49-49 vote fell short of the majority needed to pass the resolution & send it on to the #House.

Republican support was down from just weeks ago, when 4 #Senate #Republicans joined #Democrats to pass a similar bill to terminate new #tariffs on #Canada. Republicans hold a 53-47 majority.

"The United States Senate cannot be an idle spectator in the #tariff #madness. The #Congress has the #power to set tariffs & regulate global #trade," Sen Ron Wyden (D-OR) said.

Horrible Histories
The passing of the Witchcraft Act 1563 made witchcraft, or consulting with witches, capital crimes. The first trial under the new act was the North Berwick witch trials, beginning in 1590, in which King James VI played a major part as "victim" and investigator.

An incredible person has started a movement to tell the stories of #US #scientists and #science experts who have been dismissed because of the #trump #madness over there at the moment

If you know scientists who have lost funding or jobs because of *certain decisions*, you should contact them! They are also looking for #volunteers ❤️❤️

www.linkedin.comSilenced Science Stories - Illustrated Features | Silenced Science StoriesWe are organizing an illustrated series of portraits and stories of dismissed federal scientists and other scientific experts whose work is being affected by federal budget cuts and mass firings. We are working with amazing science illustrators to create these features to communicate the careers and the important scientific research of federally employed and funded scientists. How to get involved: - If you are an illustrator / artist willing to volunteer, reach out or sign up on this sheet: https://lnkd.in/gXK4mfeC. Or email paigebjarreau@gmail.com - If you are a scientist or any other type of science expert recently terminated or affected by the current administration's actions, and are willing to be featured, reach out or fill out this form! https://lnkd.in/gbq7cmG6 - If you are willing to sponsor a science artist to do this, reach out! If you want to help fund an artist on this project, everything given to Paige Jarreau's “buy me a coffee” page will go to this! https://lnkd.in/gm-9KQtR We will be posting these stories via the @ScientistSelfies Instagram account, this LinkedIn page, and our Facebook page. #sciart #scicomm #art #illustrators #scientists #terminated #federalscience #firedfeds #sciencematters #standupforscience

Molly Jong-Fast: "This is so embarrassing."

Sadly, #truth - For those of us non Billionaire Bro influencers - humans who suffer globally due to the #evil spread of uncontrolled #TrumpVirus 47...

While official pronouncements are non-stop spewing lies and wreaking of imperialism and ignorance and gangster talk and hate... Watching it live is painful, feeling helpless as the bombardment of bombast and #disinformation + crude displays of power & #madness continue. ⚠️
