  • Right but reliance on it is a way to destroy the world in the dumbest way. I don’t mean in the robot apocalypse way but the collapse of most societies. Without reliable information, nothing can get done. If shitty llms get put into everything, there’s no government, no travel, no grid/infrastructure and logistics of every kind are gone.

    While it’s fun to think about living in a small, self-sufficient community, we are not prepared for that and certainly not at this pace.



  • Either Bush, really. The kids I knew joined right before 9-11.

    They are literally children. Some sign up at 16 even. It’s a mix of poor education and propaganda. “The military defends the rights of the people” etc. Since you can’t openly shit talk your superior officers or question their orders, it makes political propaganda more effective. I tried telling people we were going to murder brown people so corpos could get more money and they said, “ no, we are bringing freedom and stopping terrorists.”

    A huge component was that it’s standard practice for Republican administrations to give better raises for service members.

    It was honestly a nightmare of ignorant psychopaths. But tbf, there were quite a few people like me who just wanted to get away from shitty homes, get an education etc and joined before the large “wars.” We tried to teach, complained, and got out asap.
