If my younger self from like 3 years ago heard generating videos can be a prompt away and can make gigantic amounts of misinformation, he would shit himself and probably write a manifesto, but fuck me this is still insane today!

I can't tell whether 3 years ago you were pre-potty training but fully literate, or whether you've simultaneously learned better emotional regulation and sphincter control in the past few years.

People tend to change more, psychologically speaking, between 18-25. They might have been 17-18 three years ago. Makes sense with the manifesto comment.

I hate it when these articles never include the video. How am I supposed to learn about manipulation if I'm "being protected against it"?

You can find it without them boosting it for free. But you don't have to watch it to understand the story

Next thing you know, Musky will order staff to create entirely false tweets on official accounts and lock the accounts so the false tweets can't be deleted. He will burn that entire company to the ground to get TFG back in.

TFG? The fucking ghoul?

At this point I'm convinced that Musk fully intends on world domination. The man is psychotic, he subscribes to the idea that we all live in a simulation and further that he's the only real player.

Him and Thiel are literally the people that all of the conservative NWO conspiracies worried about and somehow the conservatives are lining up to suck their dicks.

The Former Guy. He was in Home Alone, starred in some reality show and sold steaks for a while.

I always read it as THAT fuckin' guy...

Same, but I always read it in Nandor's voice from What We Do in the Shadows

The weird guy with the really ill fitting suit?

The rapey guy who grabs women by the pussy?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

With small hands even

Yeah he tried getting into business but when that didn't work out he started yelling at clouds.

That name should be some sort of verb or something, “lets not Musk this up” or “are you really that Musk?” I dunno something like that
