Doomsday Clock

Come on, guys.

If we really put some effort into it, we can push the damned clock past those last few minutes!

Let's pick a few people for test purposes.

I am pretty sure you were called a twat, not a cunt.  Get your labels correct.

In fact, I was called a

…at that point I decided you're being a cunt and don't deserve any more of my attention.

… you dildo. I simply don't appreciate someone online asshole

And again a

because I'm making sure all readers here know exactly what sort of cunt you are. Unlike you, I have the balls to call you out directly, instead of being a passive-aggressive bitch.

And, finally, a

Any apology you make should be made for being a dickweed.

Only then was I called

You really are quite the passive aggressive little twat, aren't you?

Just saying.

Hi brewer,

Tell me/us the 'Catholic newsletter', I'll make my own determination on their quality of journalism.
You make a lot of assertions.

What did you think of the points in the article?

Didn't read it, not until you give me the link to the 'Catholic newsletter'.

Everyone. Let's cool it a little with the name-calling.

But if I do not call you by your name, how else am I to address you?

Hi TGN,

Thanks for the thoughts.

I think the author chose poor hypotheticals to discuss the misuse of ai.  

That seems true. They are probably the ones that he feels most concerned about. Would those uses actually cause outbreaks of violence? I would hope not. Likely, my hope, is that there will be some initial instances, like we’ve been seeing, they will be debunked and rational people will be on the alert going forward. I could certainly see some, more irrational, people buying into these kinds of deep fakes. They already buy into silly stuff without deep fakes.

I saw that there are governments trying to outlaw the use of AI in political campaigns. Maybe that will help.

The examples they gave may be the ones the author is most concerned with, but they’re also examples where deepfakes would be unnecessary. Worrying about deepfakes of Trump urging supporters to storm the Supreme Court or White House is kind of superfluous when you remember that we already have genuine footage (broadcasted live on multiple sources) of Trump doing exactly that for the Capitol on January 6.





And we also know he’s made it abundantly clear that he feels no remorse for what happened that day.

Thanks for the clarification.  I was going to call you a twat but Raven posted right before I did.

You are certainly a passive-aggressive ass, bitch, cunt, twat, dickweed, asshole, fuckhead, and a festering fucktangle (I think that one is thanks to TGN some time back).

Stand tall shithead.

Speaking for myself, I just call them as I see them.
