Dear Democrats: I’m not voting for any presidential candidate that doesnt have a “dismantling this and his other shit” policy in their platform. This and Gaza are litmus tests for me and I’m not being petty.

It’s not that the stupid building is important. It isn’t. But I think that it’s an easy, fast, and direct rebuke of a president and administration that needs to be comprehensively torn out of what we consider acceptable. If a candidate can’t prioritize this kind of easy symbolism, I can’t trust them on anything else.

[Narrator] History would go on to record that after all the complex financial maneuvering, after all the hyperbolic speculation, overt fraud and rampant corruption, the thing that actually popped the AI bubble was Huang’s dick.

Don’t give a shit about who this dickhead sleeps with. Not sure if the first one was a spy or not, and I also don’t care either way. If he broke laws, I hope there is justice. In any case, fuck that billionaire asshole. I hope nvidia gets hurt and this it the jenga piece that starts to bring down the whole AI tower.

I added the disclaimer to my comment because there is speech that is legal, but i think is okay for private entities to regulate on their own platforms. A couple of examples that I considered:

While it’s legal to say really racist shit, it’s okay for something like an internet forum to mod such speech if they want to enforce some community standards.

It’s legal to spread misinformation about a global pandemic, but it’s okay for a private entity to mod it if they decide they dont want to contribute to hurting people.

My point is that I think private entities can regulate speech on their own platforms in some ways, but not others. Some thoughtful nuance is required and we need regulation that enforces all this. Left to their own, corporations like apple will hurt us.

I feel like this should be regulated. We should not let private interests arbitrarily mold our speech just because that speech is being mediated by platforms that they create.

Edit: For the record, I’m not making a free speech absolutist argument.

I really hope I get a chance to encounter and take out one of these motherfucking robots.

Unchecked capitalism. It really isn’t any more complex than this.
