I don't particularly like Gavin and he obviously isn't going to tout our housing prices or homeless problem, but yeah, he's right (and it's true for most blue states).
Brainwashing reds is spooky, and after seeing so many AI images of my hometown on fire, it's only going to get worse.
The worst part of this is that evangelical Christians in particular are just mentally primed to be manipulated by AI.
Mark my words. AI is going to make evangelicals/christian nationalist even weirder and scarier
A demented 'AI' chat bot is essentially the actual perfect vector to spread stochastic terrorism.
We already have multiple stories of people falling deeply in love with AI boyfriends and girlfriends, and then being emotionally distraught when they hit their max continuous msg limit and 'reset' akin to a lover suddenly developing amnesia.
We already have multiple stories of AI chatbots encouraging suicide, encouraging and exaggerating schizophrenic style delusions to the point that people go do something very ill advised.
... someone, or many someones, are going to use these things as a sort of human botnet, essentially as near literal of a 'mind virus' as you can yet actually achieve.
The models these things use are very much human unreadable, even by world leading experts.
IMO, its very likely someone will figure out a more clever or more clandestine way to get an AI chatbot to act like MechaHitler Grok, but only to people who are emotionally unstable / suggestible, and then they can obfuscate or delete all the logs via some kind of interpretation of privacy laws.
...
From 'brainrot' to 'cyberpsycho'.
We also already have multiple stories of people believing that God is literally speaking to them through chatGPT. I was raised young earth creationist and it is easy for me to slip back into that mindset and imagine that of course Adonai could choose to speak to me directly through chatGPT. He who has ears to hear, let him hear, and shit.
I was also raised fundamentalist... and yeah, yep.
I just class that as schizoid style delusions these days, because that basically is what that is.
And you can do it here. Or on any other anonymous social media. 4chan, Reddit, Facebook, whatever. It has been done and will continue to be done.
They're all levers controlling public opinion.
I am happy to see somebody be aggressive and direct towards republicans. And in public. This is what all democrats need to do.
While I agree with both his points and yours, I have to wonder how productive it is to essentially be baited into saying "your state sucks! California number one!"
Doesn't really seem like the best way to deprogram a deeply brainwashed and prideful culture.
It isn't, and I've got friends in the Midwest who are more or less held hostage by people who vote R regardless of anything. We're not really sure how you deprogram people, but having the poster child for smug, San Fran elitist be our spokesperson ain't it.
That said, someone like Walz doesn't seem to change their views, either. It feels rather helpless, honestly.
At this point I don't even care. These idiots will destroy the world no matter what I do, so at least I can get some smug satisfaction dopamine in the process.
You can't deprogram people until they're removed from the programming that caused the issue in the first place. Sadly, that's the majority of media outlets and social media these days.
