Everyone's memeing but it looks grim.

Having AI turn into an arms race between China and the U.S. will only accelerate its growth. For a while it looked like AI was stagnating, the bubble might burst, and people were tempering their expectations of what we had. That just got thrown out the window. I can't think of any way you could damage the competitiveness of what China is offering, so U.S. tech now have to improve and there will probably be greater support from the U.S. government to see that improvement.

People simply don't win in the long term when these improvements will go towards taking their jobs.

For some reason the Republicans voters I know seem to think that their party is going to pass all the regulatory legislation that that Democrats were suggesting.

I just don't understand them. How did they get this brainwashed? It's not just frustrating. It's depressing.

He's the richest man in the world who has untold influence over the most powerful office in the world. It's hard to ignore him at this point sadly. Ignoring the problem isn't going to make it go away.

I feel like people might have. I vaguely remember when it first came out that there was someone on youtube uploading videos of them assaulting the woman's suffrage protester and they got taken down after blowing up.

Gotta second this. Especially if the growth is sudden. It's very difficult to integrate newer users into the existing culture.

There are merits to being a smaller community.

Clearly they're just practicing their science, trying to pay homage to Hennig Brand.

We have that on FFXIV too. If you play on PC and use mods.

Nah, they're into that. They just won't admit it publicly.

Elon is apparently censoring conservatives who disagreed with him over the immigration issue.

I don't really see much change occurring though. Most conservatives I know will continue deluding themselves.

There's a Pokemon episode where Pikachu tapes its tail into the heart shape to feign being a female Pikachu(was one of the handful of episodes where Ash cd'ed for something). Really just isn't political, trans pride colors and all.

I am saying this as someone who regularly looks at topics that are either very political or very heated or both and decides that I simply do not have the energy for discourse. Also how much of an asshole do you have to be to throw a fit over what would have likely been a very positive and wholesome thread prior to people trying to tear it down?

Obsession would be going after more quiet public figures.

This is Trump who is constantly in the news for one reason or another. If we're going to be tormented by having to wake up and see his stupid decisions in the news each day then we might as well just keep memeing.

Hard to say. Her public attitude towards a lot of issues is fantastic but she comes from money. She wouldn't be able to pursue her personal interests and campaigns without the wealth she has.
