We're at the stage in humor where instead of telling jokes, we're conditioning ourselves to laugh at an increasingly horrifying reality.

But memes are inherently just political cartoons...

It's the reverse, actually. Story writers modeled super villains after these people.

Which is why not you, nor them should have so much money. We need to prevent idiots from doing idiot things by redistributing their wealth.

Helping ordinary people is the most awesome thing though.

Gates has the money to do both, and more. It’s just sometimes better to let others do it instead— having your own space company means worrying about competition, contracts, and potential profitability. Meanwhile if he wanted, he could hitch a ride on any of their rockets with no effort.

Musk and Bezos also have the money to do both, but they merely elect not to. Perhaps in the future they will, like Gates, begin funneling more of their effort and wealth into altruism to improve their reputations.

But if it's something awesome marketed towards saving humanity then do something actually awesome and impactful instead of distracting bullshit like hyperloops and Mars colonies on unrealistic time-frames and self-driving cars instead of public transportation. Endless talk and grand gestures when these people have the resources to really drive improvements/innovations in achievable realistic projects.

Yes, but there's such thing as a class war.

Be careful, nihilism is an open gateway to narcissism.

1. People say that because they don't know what it feels like. Basically, they're projecting

2. Technically one can argue fairly that it doesn't exist, but that argument would be about semantics. Doing something good for others at the expense of yourself either because it feels good to do, or because somewhere in your brain you think there will be good karma or a celestial reward, well... maybe those aren't truly "altruism", but can anybody tell the goddamned difference in the grand scheme of things?

this is what I got from ChatGPT:

To protect your farm from extreme heat, consider these steps:

1. Provide Shade: Set up temporary shade structures for crops and animals.
2. Mulching: Apply organic mulch around plants to retain moisture and cool the soil.
3. Watering: Increase irrigation frequency during hotter periods to keep soil moisture consistent.
4. Time Watering: Water plants early in the morning or late in the evening to reduce evaporation.
5. Drip Irrigation: Install drip systems to target roots directly, minimizing water loss.
6. Cover Crops: Plant cover crops to protect soil from direct sun exposure and prevent evaporation.
7. Select Resilient Crops: Choose heat-resistant crop varieties suitable for your region.
8. Soil Health: Maintain healthy soil with compost and organic matter to improve water retention.
9. Windbreaks: Plant windbreaks like trees or shrubs to reduce heat and wind effects.
10. Manage Livestock: Provide ample shade and access to water for animals, and adjust feeding schedules to cooler times.

Remember that local conditions can vary, so adapting these strategies to your specific situation is crucial.

Is AI really being handicapped that badly? I mean I knew certain topics were blocked off with the biggest public chat bots, but the machine learning data is still there, no?
