Pretty much this. The moment they actual reach end-game they'll tear themselves apart. Fascism requires an enemy to survive. If there's none available, they'll turn inwards and cannibalize.

This scares the shit out of me. A hundred years ago we saw the rise of fascism. We saw freedom of expression being suppressed. But we had one thing going for us, which is the weakness of every dictatorship. The snitches are not enough and they can't be everywhere. You never know when they can be listening and chances are most times they aren't.
Now we are seeing the birth of a new fascism. Where AI can monitor ALL of us, ALL THE TIME. Not just our prompts. Everything. Everybody experienced talking about something with a friend and a few minutes later you are receiving ads about that thing, which you never searched before. Now imagine you are being monitored all the time for any kind of subsersive opinions. You won't have a window to fight. The moment you give the smallest hint of dissent, you are efficiently removed from society.
And forget just leaving smartphones. More and more all our services are associated with it. Very soon you won't be able to function in society without it.
AI won't rule us. AI will be the ultimate tool to help other humans rule us and fighting back will be almost impossible. I feel this isn't being talked enough and how eminent it is.
Washing machine producers hate them.
Germany sure loves them genocides. It seems they are always on the side of one.
I'm about 500 meters from the place where the hospital I was born stood (the building still exists, but it's something else now).
I grew up in this city since my parents moved here before I was born. I also lived here half of my adult life and I'm thinking of leaving.
I have no emotional connection with this city. My family is from a different region of the country and we have a very different culture. My heart is with my parents hometown and I always identify myself with the region autonym.
Is that tariff in this room with us?
Saying the IDF are murderers is not antisemitism it's the truth. Equating the IDF with all Jews is antisemitism. So who's the antisemite here?

If it doesn't require immediate attention I call my health center. I can get an appointment with my family pshysician in a few days or, if it's more urgent, some other doctor will see me the same day but I'll have to wait there until one is free (can go anywhere between 15mn and 2 hours). I'm lucky though, some health centers suck really bad. The ones in big cities are generally better.
If it's more urgent I call the national health line and they'll A: tell me how to treat it myself B: set up an appointment in my health center (or another if mine is not available) C: send me straight to the closest emergency room.
Wait times in the emergency room depend on the gravity and the hospital. My hospital sucks. Low priority you'll spend there the whole day, easy. 10+ hours. Medium priority you'll wait 4 or 5 hours. High priority about an hour, maybe two. Very high priority (head falling off) you go right in. In good hospitals those times are much lower. In the major city I used to live I never waited more than 2 hours for any priority. I also had surgery there and it was great.
Never paid a cent, I think it goes without saying.
I had sex with a girl way out of my league. Usually I fuck down.
America: Come on, you're pulling that one out of nowhere. That can't be the reason, we bomb people all the time!
No problem, how much is "everything" in USD?
That's what redundancy is for.
